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.png 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.
