Song 1 Transcription:
I
Il est donc vrai Lucille
vous quittés ce Hameau
Cherchez vous à la ville
quel qu’homage nouveau
L’amant qui fait entendre
un langage appreté,
vaut il un Berger tendre
qui dit la verité.
II
Vous verrés sur vos traces
Mille jeunes galans
Qui vanteront vos graces,
Qui peindront leurs tourmens:
C’est l’art qui les inspire
Et non le sentiment;
Moi, j’ose à peine dire
Quand j’aime tendrement.
II[I]
A L’air qu’ils font paraitre
Quand ils offrent leur foi,
Vous les croirés, peut être,
Aussi tendre que moi;
Leur vanité, Bergére,
Allume tous leurs feux;
Je n’ai L’art, ni de plaire,
Ni de tromper comme eux.

Song 2 Transcription:
Les jours que l’on passe à vous voir,
paraissent plus courts que les autres,
Les plus beaux yeux sont sans pouvoir,
quand une fois on a connu les votres.
Vous rendriés les Papillons fidéles,
La vie auprés de vous passerait comme un jour,
au tems vous donnés des ailes,
et vous les otés aux amours,
et vous les otés aux amours.
