" "
And since my malady
Will not be
Cured at all
Without you, sweet enemy.
Who are glad
At my torment.
With folded hands I pray
To your heart, since it forgets me.
That it should kill me quickly.
For I languish too long.
Sweet pretty lady.
For God's sake do not think
That any one has authority
Over me but you alone.

Et nes seulement de l'oir
Fait elle les gens resjoir.

Qui de sentement ne fait,
Son dit et son chant contrefait.

Ma fin est mon commencement
Et mon commencement ma fin.
