Plusieurs regretz

Language: French (Français)

Our translations: ENG

Plusieurs regretz qui sur la terre sont,
Et les douleurs qu'hommes et femmes ont,
N'est que plaisir envers ceulx que je porte,
Me tourmentant de si piteuse sorte,
Que mes espris ne savent plus qu'ilz font.

Some of the regrets

Language: English after the French (Français)

Some of the regrets which there are in the world,
And the griefs that men and women have,
Are just pleasures compared with those I am bearing,
Tormenting me in so woeful a way
That my mind no longer knows what it is doing.
