First Line: DILDIDO, DILDIDO
Last Line: TROP BELLE POUR MOI, VOILà MON TRéPAS!
Subject(s): FRENCH LANGUAGE; LOVE;

DILDIDO, dildido,
O love, O love,
I feel thy rage rumble below and above!

In summer-time I saw a face,
@3Trop belle pour moi, hélas, hélas!@1
Like to a ston'd-horse was her pace:
Was ever young man so dismay'd?
Her eyes, like wax-torches, did make me afraid:
@3Trop belle pour moi, voilà mon trèpas.@1

Thy beauty, my love, exceedeth supposes;
Thy hair is a nettle for the nicest roses.
@3Mon dieu, aide moi!@1
That I with the primrose of my fresh wit
May tumble her tyranny under my feet:
@3Hé donc je serai un jeune roi!
Trop belle pour moi, hélas, hélas!
Trop belle pour moi, voilà mon trépas!@1
