Contre raison vous m'estes fort estrange.
Esse bien faict en aurez-vous louange?
D'ainsi m'avoir soudain deshérite
De vostr’amour sans l'avoir mérité?
Vous faict il mal si’á vous servir me range?

Modern French
Contre raison vous m'êtes fort étrange.
Est-ce bien fait, en aurez-vous louange
d'ainsi m'avoir deshérite de votre amour
sans l'avoir mérité?
Vous fait-il mal si je me soumets à vous servir?

English.png English translation

Against all reason you discarded me.
Now that it’s done, why should you praisèd be
For having thus me suddenly deprived
Of your love in a manner so contrived?
Would it do you harm were I to serve thee?

Translation by Thomas Daughton
