Song 1 Transcription:
Recueillés vous quelques momens
mon ame infortunée
et suportés tous les tourmens
auxquels vous êtes condamnée

On veut que mes soupirs,
désormais renfermés
vous forcent déprouver
les plus cruelles peines;
on veut vous arracher
à ce que vous aimés;
et vous contraindre
hélas! à de coupables chaines

De la Raison ou de l’amour
suivrai je les loix en ce jour!
ô mort viens me tirer
de mon incertitude
lequel des deux mon foible cœur
recevra t il pour son vainqueur
ô mort viens terminer
ma triste inquiétude

Song 2 Transcription:
I
Iris s’en va, quelle douleur!
quelle absence cruelle!
pourrai-je vivre sans mon cœur?
il s’enfuit avec elle.
II
Guidès ses pas, Graces et Ris,
Amour, suis-la toi même,
Restés ici, cruels soucis
Epargnés ce que j’aime.
III
Pendant la Nuit dans son sommeil
Trace lui mon Image
Et que mes vœux à son réveil
Soyent ton premier homage.
IV
Bientôt raméne là, sur tout,
Rend sa course rapide;
Hélas! je te pardonne tout
Si tu lui sers de guide.
V
A son retour, je lui dirai
L’ennuy qui me dévore;
Mais lorsque je la revérrai
M’en souviendrai-je encore?
