Bien fist amour quant deux cueurs assembla
Dun franc voulloir en perfaicte concorde
Ce que lung veult & laultre le vouldra
Facillement y consent & accorde.

(modernized)
Bien fit amour quand deux cœurs assembla:
D'un franc vouloir en parfaite concorde,
Ce que l'un veut et l'autre le voudra
Facilement y consent et accorde.

Would that love acted well when it united two hearts:
with a sincere desire for perfect harmony,
what one wants, the other hopes
readily to allow and to grant.
