Original text and translations

French text Original text Si mon malheur m’y continue, je ne scay pas, je ne ditz pas, que je feray. A tout le moins je changeray, si le courage ne minue. Modern French Si mon malheur continue, je ne sais et ne dis pas ce que je ferai. Au moins je changerai, si le courage n'y diminue.

English translation If misfortune o’er me prevails, I do not know, I will not say what I intend. At the least my ways I shall mend, Save if my courage to do so fails. Translation by Thomas Daughton
