Formons les plus brillans concert; Quand Jupiter porte les fers De l'incomparable Platée, Je veux que les transports de son ame enchantée S'experiment par mes chants divers.
Admirés tout mon art célébre. Felons d'un image funebre Une allégresse par mes chants.
Aux langueurs d'Appollon, Daphne se refusa: L'Amour, sur son tombeaux, Eteignit son flambeau La metamorphosa.
C'est ainsi que l'Amour de tout tems s'est vangé: Que l'Amour est cruel, quand il est outrage!

FOLLY:
Let us pour forth the best of music; When Jupiter is enchained By the incomparable Platee, It is my will that the transports of his enchanted heart Be expressed in these divers songs of mine.
All of you, admire my celebrated art. May a sad picture be turned Into one of joy by my songs.
Apollo, being smitten with love for Daphne, was yet refused: And Love, upon her tomb, Extinguished that flame And then transformed her.
Thus it is that Love has always sought vengeance: How cruel is Love when she is outraged!
