Original text and translations

French text Pour un plaisir qui si peu dure, j'en ay reçu peine et travaux, j'en ay souffert douleur trop dure, j'en ay reçu mille maux, j'en ay eu de trop grands assauts, or Dieu me doit bonne aventure, fortune a fait sur moi ses sauts.

English translation For pleasure that was all too brief, Have I sustained travails and woes, Have I full suffered every grief, Have I received a thousand blows, Have I hurt more than any knows, Now God doth owe me some relief, Ill fortune’s had me in its throes. Translation by Thomas Daughton
