by Gilles Boileau (1631 - 1669)

C'en est fait, belle Iris
Language: French (Français) 
C'en est fait, belle Iris, ma douleur est mortelle,
En vain vous me flattez de l'espoir de guérir :
Que vostre pitié m'est cruelle,
Hélas ! vous n'en avez qu'en me voyant mourir.

Quittez ces vains efforts, contentez vostre envie,
Il n'est rien que la mort qui me doit secourir :
Ah ! puisque vous m'ostez la vie
Au moins ne m'ostez pas le plaisir de mourir.
