Aux Langueurs D'apollon

Let's form the most brilliant concerts
When Jupiter wears the chains
Of the incomparable Platée
I want the transports of her enchanted soul
To be expressed by my various songs

Admire all my famous art
Let's turn a funereal image
Into joy through my songs

At Apollo's languors, Daphne refused
Love on her tomb
Extinguished his torch
And metamorphosed her

That's how Love has always avenged
That Love is cruel when offended!

At Apollo's languors, Daphne refused
Love on her tomb
Extinguished his torch
And metamorphosed her
