Le cœur loyal qui n'a l'ocasion
Language: French (Français)
Le cœur loyal qui n'a l'ocasion
De metter à fin ce que plus il desire
Est tourmenté d’estrange passion
Et se nourrit de son mal et martire.
Mais pour cela son bien estime pire
C’est à grand tort car il ne veut poursuivre
Que de trouver le moyen qui le tyre
De ce tourment et le face revivre.

The loyal heart which has no opportunity
Language: English after the French (Français)
The loyal heart which has no opportunity
To reach the end which it most wishes
Is tormented by strange passions
And feeds on its own pain and suffering.
But therefore it considers good things bad,
It is terribly wrong, for it seeks only
To find a way to drag itself
From this torment and revive itself.
