Mon seul et souverain désir
Language: French (Français) 
Our translations:  ENG
Mon seul et souverain désir
Mon confort et mon vray espoir
Je ne porteray riens que noir
Tant que je vous puisse revenir.

Hellas, mon bien tout mon plaisir.
Ne me mettez en non chaloir
  Mon seul et souverain désir
  Mon confort et mon vray espoir

Car je voel a vous obeir
Et si n'ay nul aultre vouloir
Je ne puis riens sans vous voir,
Aultre ne me peut resjouir.

  Mon seul et souverain désir
  Mon confort et mon vray espoir
  Je ne porteray riens que noir
  Tant que je vous puisse revenir.
