Ayant pour vostre amour mille fois soupiré
Language: French (Français) 
Our translations:  ENG
Ayant pour vostre amour mille fois soupiré
Sans que vostre rigueur en peust estre amolie,
J’invoquay tant la mort qu’un aspre maladie
S’offrit à mon secours comme avoy desiré :

J’avoy desja le teint pale et défiguré,
J’avois perdu l’esprit la parolle et l’ouye,
Et m’estimois heureux par la fin de ma vie
[Voir finir la rigueur] d’un mal demesuré.

Mais vous, qui m’estes plus que la mort inhumaine,
Ne permistes allors qu’avec si peu de peine
Je fusse chastié de ma temerité. 
Las souffrez que je meure ! encor que mon offense
D’entreprendre d’aimer une divinité
Merite beaucoup plus que la mort de souffrance.
