Lettering

Maius. May. Damoiselle Florimonde Voixgrenouille. Barthlemé Boyauracleur ... Lettering continues: "Aux doux sons de la voix melons les instrumens/ Pour charmer tendrement et nos coeurs et nos sens/ Enfin pour honorer la saison la plus belle./ Tout est obeissant au sensible plaisir/ Et les fleurs soupirent a se faire cueillir,/ Cessez a leur exemple, Iris, d'étre cruelle. Cum priv. sac. caes. maj."
