Original text
Nesse pas ung grant desplaisir
quant ie nose pour mon plaisir
pour mon bien et pour ma santé
faire du mien ma volente
et si nay point daultre desir

Modern French
N'est-ce pas un grand déplaisir
quand je n'ose, pour mon plaisir,
mon bien et ma santé,
faire ma volonté
et si n'ai d'autres désirs ?

English.png English translation

Isn't it great discomfort
when I dare not
for my pleasure, well-being or health,
do as I please
and have no other yearnings?
