Original text and translations

French text D'un aultre amer mon cueur s'abesseroit; Il ne fault ja penser que je l'estrange Ne que pour rien de ce propos me change, Car mon honneur en appetisseroit. Je l'aime tant que jamais ne seroit Possible a moi de consentir l'eschange. D'un aultre... La mort, par Dieu, avant me desferoit Qu'en mon vivant j'acoinctasse un estrange. Ne cuide nul qu'a cela je me range; Ma leauté trop fort se mesferoit. D'un aultre...

English translation By another love my heart would lower itself; be it never thought I could be estranged or ever from this purpose changed, for my honor would thus be made little. I so love her that never could it be possible to consent to an exchange. Sooner would Death, by God, undo me than I could join myself to a stranger whilst I live: Let none think I could do that: my loyalty would be too strong.
