Un doux nenni avec un doux sourire
est tant honnête il vous le faut apprendre,
quand est d'oui si veniez à le dire
d'avoir trop dit je vous voudrois reprendre,
non que je sois envieux d'entreprendre
d'avoir le fruit dont le désir me point,
mais je voudrois qu'en me le laissant prendre,
vous me disiez: non, vous ne l'aurez point.
