Dame qui as lesprit by Puy — Lyrics
Dame, qui a l'esprit et la beauté
pour attirer le regard de chacun,
prend garde qu'Amour, par envie,
n'use d'aigreur en tirant un autre dart.

About Dame qui as lesprit
This French chanson by Puy, set for SATT voices, reflects on the dual nature of Love. The text warns a lady of great spirit and beauty that Love, out of envy, might strike her with another dart. It describes Love as a powerful, knowledgeable, and artistic god, yet also capricious, inconstant, and blind, showing regard for no one. The singer expresses a longing for this unpredictable force to be favorable to them, painting a vivid picture of desire and caution within the secular tradition of Renaissance part-music.
