Rondel
On doit le temps ainfi prendre qu'il tient s
Tout dit que pas ne dure la fortune.
Un temps fe part, et puis l'autre revient :
On doit le temps ainfï prendre qu'il vient.
Je me eomforte en ce qu'il me fouvient
Que tous les mois avons nouvelle lune :
On doit le temps ainft prendre qu'il vient ;
Tout dit que pas rie dure la fortune.
Take time by the forelock, or give it up for ever, Dame Fortune, my friend, is as fickle as the wind ; And hour follows hour like the current of a river, Then meet him and feize him for time is bald behind. But my comfort is this, though Fortune's a deceiver^ That the moon ftill continues to wax and to wane, But mifs an occafion, you may labour in vain ; Take Time by the forelock, or he's loft for ever.
Rondel.
De quoi que foit, fe doit renouveller
Un joli cœur, le premier jour de Mai, &c.
This and one preceding it have been already quoted in the Mémoires de l'Académie.'
Rondel fir μη Depart.
L e corps s'en va, mais le cœur vous demeure ; Très chère dame, adieu jufqù' au retour. Trop me fera lointaine me demeure.
, L e corps 6'en va, mais le cœur vous demeure ;
Très chère dame adieu, jufqu' au retour.
Mais doux penfez que j'aurai à toute heure,
Adoucira grant, part de ma douleur.
Très chère dame, adieu jufqu* au retour
Le corps s'en va, mais le cœur vous demeure.
