Il ne se treuve en amytie
Rien plus contraire et ennemy
Que vouloir partir par moytie
Le bien et le mal de lamy
Car il ne fault point de demy
Ce qui est a moy nest pas mien
Iestime amoy ce qui est sien
De son mal tousiours ie me deulx
Elle sesiouyst de mon bien.
Ainsi ce nest quun de nous deux.

Il ne se trouve en amitié
Rien plus contraire et ennemi
Que vouloir partir par moitié
Le bien et le mal de l'ami
Car il ne faut point de demi
Ce qui est à moi n'est pas mien
J'estime à moi ce qui est sien.
De son mal toujours je me deulx
Elle s'éjouit de mon bien.
Ainsi ce n'est qu'un de nous deux.

There is nothing to be found in friendship
More contrary and hostile
Than to want to divide
The good and bad of the friend equally.
You don't need a half.
What is mine isn't mine:
 What I consider mine is hers.
I always regret her misdeeds;
She benefits from my good deeds.
So we two are but one.

(trans Timmi O'Danaos & Donna Ferrentes)
