Song 1 Transcription:
I
A dieu donc Dame Françoise
pour qui j’ai tant soupiré
je m’en vais désespéré
le Poulailler de Pontoise
me doit enmener demain
me doit enmener demain
si ton cœur Dame Francoise
si ton cœur n’est plus humain
si ton cœur Dame Francoise
si ton cœur n’est plus humain.
II
Auras tu bien le courage
De me voir la bize au nèz;
Le cul entre deux paniers
Pleins de buerre et de fromage;
Cependant je pars demain
Si ton cœur ne me soulage,
Si ton cœur n’est plus humain.
III
Que t’ai je fait ma Bourgeoise
Pour me maltraiter ainsi!
Si tu me bannis d’ici,
Je mourrai belle Françoise;
Cependant je pars demain
Si ton cœur, Dame Françoise,
Si ton cœur n’est plus humain.
IV
Loin de toi tout devient peine
Pres de toi tout est plaisir.
Me faudra-t-il donc partir?
Ne puis-je vaincre ta haine!
Et m’en irai-je demain?
Non, ton cœur, belle Inhumaine,
Deviendra moin Inhumain.

Song 2 Transcription:
I
Sur ta bouche, ma Silvie,
Laisse moi prendre un baiser:
Peux tu me le refuser!
Je t’aime, j’en meurs d’envie,
L’amour est un si grand bien!
C’est le charme de la vie,
Sans lui le reste n’est rien.
II
Se déffendre, c’est folie,
Dans la Saison des beaux jours;
On doit son cœur aux amours
Lors que l’on est si jolie!
L’amour &c.
III
D’une douce fantaisie
Suis le penchant Séducteur;
Sur la route du bonheur
Peut on s’égarer, Silvie?
L’amour &c.
IV
Deja ton ame attendrie
Est sensible à mes desirs:
Par la chaine des plaisirs
A toi la mienne est unie;
Que l’amour est un grand bien!
C’est le charme de la vie,
Sans lui le reste n’est rien.
