Lyrics: Anon
Contentez-vous, heureuses violettes,
De recevoir l'honneur et parement
De la blancheur du beau sein ou vous êtes,
Sans lui aider à porter aornement;
Car elle est même honneur du firmament.
Et si sachant que là vous devez être
En ce froid temps nature vous fit naître
Ce fut afin que votre nouveauté
De plus en plus au monde fit connaître
Que le temps fait en Diane apparaître
Nouvelle grace et nouvelle beauté.
Be satisfied, you lucky violets,
to be accorded honour and status
by the whiteness of the beautiful breast where you rest,
without contributing to its adornment;
for it is of itself its own reward.
And, knowing that you were destined to be there,
Nature gave you birth, in this cold season.
So It is, that your newness more
and more instructs the world;
That this season makes fresh grace and fresh beauty
become apparent in Diane.
Contentez-vous, heureuses violettes,
De recevoir l'honneur et parement
De la blancheur du beau sein ou vous êtes,
Sans lui aider à porter aornement;
Car elle est même honneur du firmament.
Et si sachant que là vous devez être
En ce froid temps nature vous fit naître
Ce fut afin que votre nouveauté
De plus en plus au monde fit connaître
Que le temps fait en Diane apparaître
Nouvelle grace et nouvelle beauté.
Be satisfied, you lucky violets,
to be accorded honour and status
by the whiteness of the beautiful breast where you rest,
without contributing to its adornment;
for it is of itself its own reward.
And, knowing that you were destined to be there,
Nature gave you birth, in this cold season.
So It is, that your newness more
and more instructs the world;
That this season makes fresh grace and fresh beauty
become apparent in Diane.
