A Je vous pri, mon tres doulx ami,
   Que briefment vuelliez revenir,

   Ce que promis avés a mi.

B Ma tres douce amie!
   Mon cuer prent congiet
   Maintenant de vous.
   Belle, ce poise moy.

C Tant que mon argent dura,
	 Que tantost fauldra,
   Nous menrons joieuse vie,
   Or est mon argent fali.

	 Adieu, mon ami!
   Adieu ma tres douce amie!
	 Helas, mon ami!
   Et quant revenerés vous?
