A Young and Tender Beauty

Air de cour by Michel Lambert Themes LovePeriod 17th century

A young and tender beauty
Has captured my freedom,
Against her sweet glances I could not defend myself;
But alas! If her eyes already know how to charm,
Her heart still does not know what it is to love,
Happy, if some day mine can teach her.

She enchants & delights the senses,
The rumor of her budding charms
Begins to spread in a thousand different places;
But, alas! if her eyes already know how to charm,
Her heart still does not know what it is to love,
Happy! if some day mine can teach her.

Michel Lambert
