Vo regard et doulce maniere
Me tiennent en si dur party,
Que brief de dueil seray party,
Se vous n'exaulcez ma priere.
Mieulx m'eust valu gesir en biere,
Quant premierement je choisy.
Vo regard [et doulce maniere
Me tiennent en si dur party.]
Car plus voy vostre belle chere
Dont nature vous a party,
Tant plus suis dolent et marry,
Quant du tout m'avez mis arriere.
Vo regard [et doulce maniere
Me tiennent en si dur party,
Que brief de dueil seray party,
Se vous n'exaulcez ma priere.]

Your face and sweet bearing
Language: English after the French (Français)
Your face and sweet bearing
keep me in so hard a separation
that in short I will be dead from grief
if you do not grant my prayer.
It would have been more useful to lie on my bier
When first I chose you.
Your face and sweet bearing
keep me in so hard a separation.
For the more I see your dear beauty
With which nature endowed you
The more I am sad and fed up
Since you have put me last of all.
Your face and sweet bearing
keep me in so hard a separation
that in short I will be dead from grief
if you do not grant my prayer.
