Adieu mes amours, a Dieu vous command, Adieu je vous dy jusquez au printemps Je suis en souci de quoy je vivray La raison pour quoy je le vous diray : Je n’ay plus d’argent, vivray je du vent, Se l’argent du roy ne vient plus souvent.

Farewell my loves, to God I commend you. Farewell I say until the Spring. I am worried about what I shall live on. The reason why? I will tell you: I have no more money. Shall I live on air, if the king’s money does not come more often?
