Dans le parc au noble dessin Où s'égarent les Cydalises Parmi les fontaines surprises Dans le marbre du clair bassin, Iris, que suit un jeune essaim, Philis, Eglé, nymphes éprises, Avec leurs plumes indécises, En manteau court, montrant leur sein, Lycaste, Myrtil et Sylvandre Vont parmi la verdure tendre Vers les grands feuillages dormants. Ils errent dans le matin blême, Tous vêtus de satin, charmants Et tristes comme l'Amour même.

In the park of noble design, Where the Cydalises wander Amid the surprised fountains In the stone bed of the clear pond, Iris, whom a young swarm follows, Philis, Eglé, infatuated nymphs, With their indecisive feathers, In short coats, showing their breasts, Lycaste, Myrtil and Sylvandre Come amid the tender greenery Toward the tall sleeping foliage. They wander in the pale morning, All dressed in satin, charming And sad like Love himself.
