Song 1 Transcription:
Philis quand vòtre cœur me devint infidelle;
ma tendresse éclata par mes transports jaloux
jusqu’à ce qu’une ardeur nouvelle
m’embrasant pour Iris éteignit mon courroux
étaignit mon courroux
éteignit mon courrou[x]

ne le re doutés plus ma Bergére est trop belle
elle m’offre un bonheur trop constant et trop doux
elle m’offre un bonheur trop cons[tant et trop doux]
elle m’offre un bonheur trop cons[tant et trop doux]
et je sens trop d’amour pour elle
pour conserver en cor du de pit contre vous.

Song 2 Transcription:
I
Qui connait bien le sort des grands
du tout ne leur porte d’envie
Leur faut trop de biens différens
pour passer un jour de la vie
II
J’habite un Champêtre Séjour
Et j’ai pris ma Mie au Village:
Je la vois comme au premier jour
Qu’amour forma notre Menage.
III
Le faste a bien un grand attrait
Mais attrait qu’emporte l’usage:
La simplicité qui nous plait
Nous plaira toujours d’avantage.
