by Philippe Quinault (1635 - 1688)
Il faut aymer
Language: French (Français)
Il faut aymer C'est un destin inesvitable In n'est point de cœur indomptable Que l'Amour ne puisse charmer : Mais surtout quand on est aymable, Il faut aymer. Que de plaisirs Amour fait voir parmy ses chaisnes ! Ses rigueurs les plus inhumaines Font pousser de charmans soupirs : Et ses maux causent moins de peines Que de plaisirs.
