French text

Je me contente sans avoir joyssance,
d'amours j'ay trop à souffisance,
pour ce, le jeu j'en veulx quicter,
car par trop longue est l’espérance
du bien qu'ay voulu désirer,
dont prendre veulx en patience,
en brief, d'amours me retirer.

English translation

I satisfy myself but there’s no fun,
With love my cup has overrun,
Therefore, I want to quit this game.
It’s been too long, I’d fain be done
With endless waiting for my aim,
The which I’ve suffered ‘til I’m numb,
In short, this love I now disclaim.

Translation by Thomas Daughton
