Chi d'amor sente ed ha cor peregrino Non ismarrisca el diritto cammino. E, ancor ch'egli abbia da sua donna sguardi, o atti, o modi, ond'ei non si contenti. Non perda mai la speme e non ritardi, ma porti onestamente i suoi tormenti e sempre segua con savi argomenti come Amor vuole, or alto, or basso, or chino. E chi d'amor vuole imparar dottrina, abbia il cor franco ad esser sofferente, e non sgomenti d'ogni cosellina, ma sempre sia a sua donna ubidiente pero che ciaschedun ch'e sofferente, porta ghirlanda di fior di giardino. Vanne, ballata, al mio signore Amore, e fa' che tu da lui prenda licenza; e poi dirai a ciascuno amadore, che porti a la sua donna riverenza, perchè le donne savie han conoscenza ed hanno in lor del chiaro e del divino.

Celui qui ressent l'amour et a un cœur noble Ne doit pas s'écarter du droit chemin. Et même s'il sent les regards de sa dame ou ses actes, ou ses manières qui ne lui plaisent pas. Il ne doit pas jamais perdre l'espoir ni ralentir, mais supporter honnêtement ses tourments et toujours continuer avec de sages arguments comme l'Amour le souhaite, qu'il soit haut, bas, ou tordu. Et celui qui souhaite apprendre la doctrine doit avoir un cœur prêt à souffrir, et ne doit pas être consterné à chaque difficulté, mais doit toujours obéir à sa dame et pour tout ce qu'il souffre porter une guirlande de fleurs du jardin. Va, mon chant, vers mon seigneur Amour, et fais que tu obtiennes la permission de lui et alors tu diras à chaque amant de porter du respect à sa dame, parce que les dames sages ont la connaissance et elles ont en elles quelque chose de magnifique et de divin.
