Old French
Iayme le cueur de ma mye
sa bonte et sa doulceur
ie layme sans infamie
et comme'ung frère sa seur

amistye desmesuree
nest iamais bien assuree
et mest le cueur en torment
ie veulx aymer aultrement

Modern French
J'aime le cœur de mon amie,
sa bonté et sa douceur.
Je l'aime sans infamie
et comme un frère sa sœur.

Une amitié démesurée
n'est jamais bien assurée
et met le cœur en tourment.
Je veux aimer autrement.

I love my lady's heart,
her goodness and sweet disposition.
I love her without the slightest bad intention,
more like a brother loves his sister.
Yet unmeasured friendship is never a certainty
and causes the heart great torment.
Could I but love in a different way.
