Original text and translations

French text

Vive sera et toujours perdurable
mon amitié qui point ne variera,
car fermeté la rend inviolable
et mon travail à ma foi l'unira.

L'esprit encore quand repos lui sera
là-sus in ciel en aura souvenance,
et de ce bien encore jouira
d'avoir aimé si parfaite excellence.
