At the sight of your lovely eyes

Language: English after the French (Français)

At the sight of your lovely eyes
And of your lovely, noble bearing 
I come to you, my beauty, humbly
To present myself as your lover.

I am eager for your love
And all my will consents to it
  At the sight of your lovely eyes
  And of your lovely, noble bearing.

So may it please you, gracious heart,
To retain me now at present
To be wholly your beloved 
And I will be yours in every place.

At the sight of your lovely eyes
And of your lovely, noble bearing 
I come to you, my beauty, humbly
To present myself as your lover.
