Original text and translations

French text Si mon service a merité recompense ou allegement, je vous supplye avoir pitié en me donnant contentement, me laisser vivre en languissant desormais seroit cruaulté, contentez vous en congnoissant mon amour et ma fermeté. Modern French Si mon service a mérité récompense ou allègement, je vous supplie d’avoir pitié en me donnant contentement. Me laisser vivre en languissant, désormais serait cruauté. Contentez-vous en (re-)connaissant mon amour et ma fermeté [:valeur].

English translation If my services have merited reward or comfort, I beg you to have mercy and grant me pleasure. Letting me live with hot desire would henceforth be plain cruelty. So content yourself and acknowledge my love and valour.
