My beautiful sovereign lady
Language: English after the French (Français)
My beautiful sovereign lady,
Make my deep grief stop
Which I am enduring for your love
Night and day, and which gives me very great pain.
Or else, be certain,
I will die in only a few days.
My beautiful sovereign lady,
Make my deep grief stop.
There is not one day in the week
When I am not in great sadness;
So please be willing, in your sweetness,
To help me, wholeheartedly.
My beautiful sovereign lady,
Make my deep grief stop
Which I am enduring for your love
Night and day, and which gives me very great pain.
