(modernised)
J’ai court plaisir et longue patience,
le vouloir haut et basse, la puissance,
bien peu défait et assez de bon signe ;
mais puisqu’amour à ce mal me destine,
l’avoir pour vous m’est bien et suffisance.

German.png German translation

Ich habe kurzes Vergnügen und langes Warten,
der Wille stark, und schwach das Vermögen,
nur wenig ausgelöst, und ziemlich gute Zeichen;
doch da die Liebe mich für dieses Leid bestimmt,
ist, es für euch zu haben, mir Wohltat und Genügen.

Translation by Gerhard Weydt

I have short pleasure and long waiting,
the will strong and weak the ability,
only little achieved and rather good signs;
but since love destined me for this misery,
to endure it for you is for me beneficial and sufficient.
