Mon Cher Ami

Mon Cher Ami, ami tres cher, My love shall sooth thy ev'ry care; Thou in return shall smile on me, Nor ought but love our life shall see,

Under sweet friendship's sacred name, Thy breast shall still retain the flame, With which it long has glow'd for me, Thy constant weddef friend I'll be,

United thus, may ev'ry year, Thy Lydia grow to thee more dear; Nor sue for pity more from me, Nor droop for her who lives for thee.
