Original text and translations

French.png French text

Ma bouche noze dire
mon amoureux désir,
ne ma main le descripre,
de peur de desplaisir.
Mais c'est que je suis tien
et seray en tous lieux,
t'abandonnant mon bien
et mon cueur, qui vault myeulx.

Modern French
Ma bouche n'ose dire
mon amoureux désir,
ni ma main la décrire,
de peur de déplaisir.
Mais c'est que je suis tien
et le serai en tous lieux,
t'abandonnant mon bien
et mon coeur, qui vaut mieux.

English.png English translation

My mouth just does not dare
Blurt out how much I care
Nor can my hand declare
Lest I your anger bear.
But I am yours, it’s true,
And ever you revere,
I’ll leave my wealth to you
And my heart – ‘tis more dear.

Translation by Thomas Daughton
