Je ne suy plus tel que souloye
Language: French (Français) 
Our translations:  ENG
 Je ne suy plus tel que souloye;
 J'ay perdu tout soulas et joye,
 Devenus suy viel et usé,
 Et m'ont les dames refusé,
 Car plus servir ne les porroye.

 Jonnesse me fault et monnoye,
 Desquels tres enblé je m'aydoye,
 Et pour ce tout par supposé.
   Je ne [suy plus tel que souloye;
   J'ay perdu tout soulas et joye,
   Devenus suy viel et usé.]

 Helas, se revenir scavoye
 En l'estat que primier estoye,
 Je faroye fort du rusé;
 Et se j'en estoye accusé,
 Savés vous que responderoye?

   Je ne suy [plus tel que souloye;
   J'ay perdu tout soulas et joye,
   Devenus suy viel et usé,
   Et m'ont les dames refusé,
   Car plus servir ne les porroye.]
