Original text
Nimphes nappes neridriades driades
venez plorer ma desolation
car ie languis en telle' affliction
que mes espris sont plus mort que maladies

Cantus firmus: Circumdederunt me gemitus mortis. Dolores inferni circumdederunt me.

Modern French
Nymphes des eaux, Néridriades, Nymphes des bois,
venez pleurer ma désolation
car je languis en telle affliction
que mes esprits sont plus morts que malades.

English.png English translation

Ye nymphes of the water, Nereids, and nymphs of the woods,
come and mourn my desolation
for I suffer such affliction
that my spirit is more dead than alive.

Cantus firmus: The groans of death surround me, as do the pains of hell.
