Original text and translations

French text Le triste cueur que avec vous demeure Si quelque foys devant voz yeulx souspire Prenez pitié d'alleger son martire et ne souffrez qu'entre voz bras il meure.

English translation The sad soul, seeing you, in his desire Before your eyes may sigh now and again: Then show some mercy, ease your lover's pain And let him not between your arms expire. Translation by Mick Swithinbank
