Puis que Malheur me tient rigueur
et seulle scaves mon indigence
pour donner ordre' a ma langueur
secoures moy en diligence
hellas hellas ayes intelligence
du mal quon a en amitye
ung patient prent allegiance
quant samye prent a pitye

Modern French
Puisque malheur me tient rigueur
et que vous seule savez mon indigence,
pour donner ordre à ma langueur,
secourez-moi rapidement.
Hélas, ayez connaissance du mal qu'on a en amitié:
un patient prend allégeance
quand son amie prend pitié de lui.

English.png English translation

Because ill fortune grips me tight
And you alone know of my pain,
To bring a quick end to my plight
I beg that you to save me strain.
Alas, I would that you might deign
In friendship to admit my woes:
A dying man will comfort gain
When his beloved pity shows.

Translation by Thomas Daughton
