Mon bien, m'amour
Language: French (Français)
Mon bien, m'amour et ma maistresse
Esse ce que m'avés promis?
Mis m'avés hors du sens rassis,
Six foys m'avés fait grande rudesse.
De ce vous requiers, ma princesse,
Cesser: a vous seray toudis.
Mon bien, [m'amour et ma maistresse
Esse ce que m'avés promis?]
Dix ans a que vostre noblesse
Blessié m'a au cuer et soupris;
Pris m'a trop fort a mon advis:
Advisez que j'aye lyesse.
Mon bien, [m'amour et ma maistresse
Esse ce que m'avés promis?
Mis m'avés hors du sens rassis,
Six foys m'avés fait grande rudesse.]

My happiness, my love
Language: English after the French (Français)
My happiness, my love and my mistress
Is this what you promised me?
You have set me down, out of my senses,
Six times you have done me great offence.
Therefore I ask you, my princess,
To stop: I will be yours forever.
My happiness, my love and my mistress
Is this what you promised me?
Ten years it is since your nobility
Wounded my heart and took me by surprise;
It took me too hard, in my view,
So take care that I should be happy.
My happiness, my love and my mistress
Is this what you promised me?
You have set me down, out of my senses,
Six times you have done me great offence.
