by Jean-Baptiste Pocquelin (1622 - 1673), as Moliére

Quand l'Amour à vos yeux offre un choix...
Language: French (Français) 
Quand l'Amour à vos yeux offre un choix agréable,
Jeunes beautez, laissez-vous enflamer :
Mocquez-vous d'affecter cet orgueil indomptable
Dont on vous dit qu'il est beau de s'armer :
Dans l'age ou l'on est aymable
Rien n'est si beau que d'aymer.
