Original text and translations

French text Choir: Cueurs desolez par toute nation. Assemblez duiel et lamentation. Ne cherchez plus l’armoniance, Lyre d’Orpheus pour voz resiouysance. Mais plongez vous en desolation. Tenor line from Lamentations of Jeremiah: Plorans ploravit in nocte, et lacrymae eius maxillis eius, non est qui consoletur eam ex omnibus caris eius.

English translation Choir: Hearts, grieve for all the nation. Assemble sorrow and lamentation. Do not search for harmony anymore, for Orpheus’ lyre to rejoice, but plunge yourselves into desolation. Tenor line from Lamentations of Jeremiah: She weepeth sore in the night, and her tears are on her cheeks; she hath none to comfort her among all her lovers.
