Las! me faut-il tant de mal supporter,
Sans que personne en ayt la cognoissance,
Faisant semblant tousjours me contenter
Et si n'ay plus de mon bien esperance:
Ostez moy done mon dieu la souvenance
De ce malheur auquel ne puis pourvoir
Ou me donnez si longue patience,
Qu'autre que vous ne le puisse sçauoir.

Composition:

    Set to music by Roland de Lassus (1532 - 1594), "Las! me faut-il", 1560 [ 5v ]
