by ? Bigre de Jussy

Autant que j'ay d'amour vous avez de beauté
Language: French (Français) 
Autant que j'ay d'amour vous avez de beauté,
Mais vous ne m'aymez pas autant que je vous ayme :
Vous avez donc mon cœur sans l'avoir mérité,
Puisqu'un excez d'amour n'est dû qu'à l'amour mesme.

Je sçay que la beauté se rend digne d'amour,
Mais elle est complaisante afin qu'il soit fidelle :
L'heureux amant void mieux la beauté dans son jour,
Et quand vous aymerez vous en serez plus belle.
