Las! me faut‑il
Language: French (Français)
Available translation(s): ENG
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.
