by Clément Marot (1496 - 1544)

Puis que de vous je n'ay aultre visage
Language: French (Français) 
Puis que de vous je n'ay aultre visage,
Je m'en vois rendre hermite en ung desert,
Pour prier dieu, si ung aultre vous sert,
Qu'aultant que moy en vostre honneur soit sage.

A dieu Amours, à dieu gentil corsage,
A dieu ce tainct, à dieu ces frians yeux:
Je n'ay pas heu de vous grand adventage:
Ung moins aymant aura, peult estre, mieulx.

About the headline (FAQ)

Modernized form used by Sandrin:

Puisque de vous je n'ai autre visage
Je vais rendre ermite en un désert,
Pour prier Dieu; si un autre vous sert
Qu'autant que moi en votre honneur soit sage.

Adieux Amours, adieu gentils corsage,
Adieu ce teint, adieu ces friands yeux.
Je n'ai pas eu de vous grands avantages.
Un moins aimant aura, peut-être, mieux.
