Original text and translations

French text Il est en vous le bien que je desire, Je n'en ay rien, mais mon cœur est tant vostre, Qu'il ayme mieulx, dont ne le puys desdire, Languir pour vous que de mourir d'ung aultre.

English translation ‘Tis yours to give, the favor that I pray, Though I get none, my heart is so much thine That it would sooner, this I can’t gainsay, Repine for you than make another mine. Translation by Thomas Daughton
