Las! me faut‑il
Language: French (Français)
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.

Alas ! Must I put up with so much misfortune
Language: English after the French (Français)
Alas ! Must I put up with so much misfortune
Without anyone knowing it,
Always pretending that I'm happy
And yet I have no more of my good hope.
My God, relieve me, grant your remembrance
Of this misfortune against which I cannot provide
Or else give me such lengthy patience
That none but you may know of it.
