French text

Je prens congie¹ de mes amours
Des quelles me fault partir hellas²
Nul ne me vient donner secours hellas
Dont dois plourer et bien gemir³
Nul ne me vient donner secours
Dont dois plourer et bien gemir
Si suis le mis en plus decent martire⁴
Je dis adieu a mes amours
Soudainement me voye morir.

(Author unknown)
