Song 1 Transcription:
Quand je vous jure Iris que j’aime;
que j’aime vous ne me croyéz
pas
vous ne me croyéz pas.
Ou pour n’en plus douter
vous voulés qu’à vous même
je nomme
la Beauté
dont je sers les appas,
vous voulés qu’à vous même
je nomme
la Beauté
dont je sers les appas
dont je sers les appas

Mais en vain au-jour d’hui
vous m’assurés encore
de garder un secret
qui me parait si doux
si je vous le disois
la Beauté que j’adore
le sçauroit aussi-tôt que vous.
le sçauroit aussi-tôt que vous,
Si je vous le disois,
si je vous le disois,
la Beauté que j’adore
le sçauroit aussi-tôt que vous.
