Original text and translations

French text Où t'attend ta maîtresse, ami, ne parle plus de doux port, mais d'un lieu de tristesse et sans aucun confort. Or, la tienne confort qui d'ennui n'est plus belle languit jusqu'à la mort comme la tourterelle.

English translation Speak not of your meeting place as a sweet harbour, my friend, but label it an abode of sadness without the slightest solace. For your mistress, whose beauty has withered, offers but her crying as a solace until she dies just like a dove.
