Franc cuer gentil, sur toutes gracieuse, Riche d'honneur et de tous biens garnie, A vous me rens, a vous du tout me lye, N'autre ne quier jamais pour amoureuse. Car vous estés ma pensee joyeuse, Haultain secours en qui du tout me fye, Franc cuer [gentil, sur toutes gracieuse, Riche d'honneur et de tous biens garnie.] Or vueillez donc vers moy estre piteuse, Je qui vous ay sur toute autre choisye, Soyez la mire a ma grant maladie Et ne souffrez ma vie estre ennuieuse. Franc cuer [gentil, sur toutes gracieuse, Riche d'honneur et de tous biens garnie, A vous me rens, a vous du tout me lye, N'autre ne quier jamais pour amoureuse.]

Open and noble heart, lady gracious above all others, Rich in honour and embellished with all good things, I give myself to you, I bind myself to you in every way Never to seek another as lover. For you are my happy thoughts, The high and haughty help in which I trust entirely, Open and noble heart, lady gracious above all others, Rich in honour and embellished with all good things. Now please take pity on me I who have chosen you above all other ladies Be the amendment of my great malady And do not allow me to be in torment. Open and noble heart, lady gracious above all others, Rich in honour and embellished with all good things, I give myself to you, I bind myself to you in every way Never to seek another as lover.
