Original text and translations

French text Original text Contentement combien soit grant chose ne dure pas la longueur dung seul iour, soudain revient linsatiable amour pour reveiller mon cueur quant il repose. Modern French Contentement combien que soit grande chose ne dure pas la longueur d'un jour. Soudain revient l'insatiable amour pour réveiller mon cœur quand il repose.

English translation No matter how satisfying it may be to experience contentement, it never lasts, not even one day. Suddenly, unsatiable love strikes again and wakens a sleeping heart.
