Farewell, beloved, all delight, pride and solace

Translation by Anonymous / Unidentified Author

Lament

Language: French (Français)

Adieu soulas, tout plaisir et liesse
Mon pauvre cœur si vit en grand tristesse,
Pour les regrets que j'ay mon amy:
Helas! Il ma failly. 

Je m'en iray lassus au verd bocaige
La je feray fonder un hermitage,
Ou je vivray en doucer et soulay
Et tout pout mon amy!

Farewell, beloved, all delight, pride...

Language: English after the French (Français)

Farewell, beloved, all delight, pride and solace,
My broken heart is like a shattered chalice.
No longer filled with joy by my lost friend:
Alas, why must love end?

Far from the world, into the woods, I'll hie me.
Dwell there in stillness, where none shall ever descry me.
Where my lonely life in sorrow shall end,
And all for the love of my friend!
