Original text and translations

French text Plus chaud que feu je languis par tes yeux, et si ne peuvent mes grands regrets mieux bouter à fin, car ton amour me livre, feu aussi doux qu'en mourant me fait vivre.

English translation I am consumed by your eyes, hotter than fire, I cannot end my great sorrow better, because your love tells me, fire, oh so soft that I live by dying.

Dutch translation Ik word verteerd door je ogen, heter dan vuur, ik kan mijn grote treurnis niet beter eindigen, want je liefde zegt mij, vuur, o zo zacht dat ik leef door te sterven.
