Original text and translations

French text Au joly boys, en l'ombre d`ung soucy, M'y fault aller pour passer ma tristesse, Remply de dueil d'ung souvenir transy, Menger m'y fault maintes poires d`angoisse, En ung jardin remply de noires flours De mes deux yeulx feray larmes et plours. Fy de lyesse et hardiesse! Regret m'oppresse, Puis que j'ay perdu mes amours. Las! trop j`endure, Le temps m'y dure, Je vous asseure: Soulas, vous n'avez plus de cours!

English translation I have to go to the pretty wood and spend my grief in the shadow of worry Filled with mourning for a penetrating memory I must eat such bitter fruit In a garden filled with black flowers I shall weep and sob from my two eyes So much for jollity and bold adventures, I am oppressed with regret Because I have lost my love Alas I endure too much, time hangs heavy on me, I tell you for sure: Joy and solace are no more.
