Quel espoir de guérir
Language: French (Français) 
Quel espoir de guérir
Puis-je avoir sans mourir,
D'un amoureux martire ?
Que je puis bien souffrir,
  Mais que je n'ose dire.

Quel moyen de celer,
Et mourir sans parler
D'un amoureux martire ?
Que je puis bien souffrir,
  Mais que je n'ose dire.

Si la mort seulement
Peut guérir mon tournment,
Et l'amoureux martire
Que je puis bien souffrir,
  Mais que je n'ose dire.

Toute-fois il le faut,
Le sujét est trop haut
De mon cruel martire
Que je puis bien souffrir
  Mais que je n'ose dire.

Notes: gérir was once spelled "guarir"
In another edition, the last two lines are:

  Qui m'apprend à souffrir,
Mais non pas à le dire"
