Our translations: ENG
Si du malheur vous aviez cognoissance, Dont ma vie est à rude mort contrainte, Verriez à l'oeil ma perdurable crainte D'estre oublié par la trop longue absencee : Abbsent je meurs, & en vostre presence Present avez de moy l'ame ravie, Hela,s ! c'est bien par divine puissance Mourir auprès, & loing perdre la vie.
