Old French
Si par souffrir l'on peult vaincre fortune,
je croy en fin le pris me demeurer
car nuict et jour je ne fais que penser
a ma douleur et soubdain'infortune.

modern French
Si par souffrir l'on peut vaincre fortune,
je crois enfin le pris me demeurer,
car nuit et jour je ne fais que penser
à ma douleur et soudaine infortune.

If suffering can vanquish Fate,
The prize, for sure, is mine,
For night and day I feel the weight
Of my pain, my lot malign.
