En triumphant de Cruel Dueil
Language: French (Français)
En triumphant de Cruel Dueil,
Dueil Angoisseux est mon accueil
Et tout mon bien n'est que martire,
Et ne saroie mon mal descripre
Ne dire ce dont je me dueil.
Triste Plaisir, mon seul recueil.
M'acompagneira a son vueil
Et me fera plorer pour rire
En triumphant de Cruel Dueil:
[Dueil Angoisseux est mon accueil
Et tout mon bien n'est que martire.]
La mort sera mon seul escueil
Maiz que je soie en ung sercueil
Prestement bouté, sans plus dire;
N'autre ne quiers je avoir pour mire
Pour m'avancer ce que plus vueil.
En triumphant de Cruel Dueil,
[Dueil Angoisseux est mon accueil
Et tout mon bien n'est que martire,
Et ne saroie mon mal descripre
Ne dire ce dont je me dueil.]

In overcoming Cruel Grief
Language: English after the French (Français)
In overcoming Cruel Grief,
Anguished Grief is my reward
And all my happiness is but martyrdom
And I cannot describe my illness
Nor explain what I'm grieved about.
Sad Pleasure, my only retreat,
Will accompany me if he wishes
And make me weep instead of laughing
In overcoming Cruel Grief,
Anguished Grief is my reward
And all my happiness is but martyrdom.
Death will be my sole way out
Provided I can be quickly popped
In a coffin, without more talking.
I seek to have no other to make things better
And to speed me in what I want.
In overcoming Cruel Grief,
Anguished Grief is my reward
And all my happiness is but martyrdom
And I cannot describe my illness
Nor explain what I'm grieved about.
