{{Text|French| Je prens congie1 de mes amours Des quelles me fault partir hellas2 Nul ne me vient donner secours hellas Dont dois plourer et bien gemir3 Nul ne me vient donner secours Dont dois plourer et bien gemir Si suis le mis en plus decent martire4 Je dis adieu a mes amours Soudainement me voye morir.
