Song 1 Transcription:
I
Depuis que le cruel amour
m’á captivé sous son empire,
Isméne me suit chaque jour
et moi chaque jour je soupire
Bientôt pour plaindre mes malheurs
je n’aurai plus assés de larmes
de mon sang au déffaut de pleurs
amour j’arroserai tes armes.
II
C’en est fait, si mon triste fort
Ne peut toucher mon inhumaine,
Je vais terminer par la mort
Mon amour, ma vie, et ma peine:
Hélas! de ma fidélité
Un Cyprès gage déplorable,
De son injuste cruauté
Sera le monument durable.
III
Sur le tombeau qui de mon corps
A jamais contiendra les restes,
Que du tems malgré les efforts
Ou puisse voir ces mots funestes:
„Des rigueurs d’Isméne et d’amour
„Hylas mourut à son aurore;
„Hylas s’il revoyoit le jour
„Adoreroit Isméne encore.

Song 2 Transcription:
Chere Annette ecoutés
toute mon infortune
ma présence vous importune
votre cœur se refuse
à mes soins emprésses
votre [cœur se refuse
à mes soins emprésses]

Ah! si je vous déplais à force de constance
donnéz moi la moitié de votre indifférence;
vous en aurés toujours assez
vous [en aurés toujours assez]
