Original text and translations

French text Adieu ! mes amours et mon désir, Je vous déprise de part amant ; Et si je vous ai fait déplaisir, Ce n’est pas sans commandement. Pardonnez-moi très humblement, je le demande ; J’ai mis mon cœur à service loyalement. Hélas ! J’ai bien perdu ma peine.

English translation Farewell my loves and my desire, I abandon you as a loved one. And if I have caused you displeasure, it is not without bidding. I ask forgiveness humbly. I have loyally put my heart to your service. Alas! I have truly wasted my effort.
