French text

Nous voyons que les hommes
font tous vertu d’aimer
et, sottes que nous sommes,
voulons l’amour blâmer.

Ce qui leur est louable
nous tourne à déshonneur,
faute inexcusable,
O dure loi d’honneur !

Nature, plus qu’eux sage,
nous en a un corps mis
plus propre à cet usage
et nous est moins permis.
