Je requier a tous amoureux
Qui jugent par leur courtoisie:
Ceux qui n'osent dire «Amye»,
Sont en amours bien heureux?
A ce jour de l'an gracieux
Me treuve de celle partye.
Je [requier a tous amoureux
Qui jugent par leur courtoisie.]
Mais vray Espoir, qui est songneux
De moy garir ma maladie,
Me dist que je ne me soussye,
Que l'an a venir avray mieux.
Je requier a tous amoureux
[Qui jugent par leur courtoisie:
Ceux qui n'osent dire «Amye»,
Sont en amours bien heureux?]

I ask all lovers
Language: English  after the French (Français)
I ask all lovers
To judge by their courtesy:
Those who dare not say "My beloved",
Are they happy in their love?
On this pleasant New Year's Day
I find myself in that camp.
I ask all lovers
To judge by their courtesy.
But true Hope, who is anxious
To cure me of my illness,
Tells me that I should not worry
That the coming year will be better.
I ask all lovers
To judge by their courtesy:
Those who dare not say "My beloved",
Are they happy in their love?
