Helas madame, celle que j'ayme tant:
Souffrez que soye vostre humble servant;
Vostre humble servant je serays a toujours
Et tant que je viv'ray aultr' n'aymeray que vous.
Hellas, beau sire, vous estez bel et bon,
Sage et courtoys et de noble maison,
Et aussi bon que l'on scairoit finer,
Mais cil que j'ayme, ne scairoye oublier.
Hellas, ma dame, pences en vostre cas:
Entre nous deulx ne fault point d'avocatz.
Certes non pas, et vous le scavez bien.
Allez vous en, car vous ne faictez rien.
Mon cueur souspire et se plaint tendrement,
Quant il ne peult trouver allegement.
Ne [bad word] on me veult dechasser;
S'il est ainsi, j'ayray ailleurs chasser.
Hellas, ma dame, et n'en seray-je point?
Certes beau sire, je ne le vous dis point.
Servez a point: il vous sera mery.
Hellas, ma dame, de bon cueur vous mercy."

English translation

"Alas my lady, whom I love so much,
Allow me to be your humble servant,
Your humble servant I will be forever,
And as long as I live I will love none but you.
Alas, good sir, you are fine and handsome,
Wise and courteous, and of good family,
As good as one could find;
But I could not forget the one I love.
Alas, my lady, judge the case for yourself:
Between us two we need no advocates.
Certainly not, as you know very well.
Go away; you are wasting your time.
My heart sighs and tenderly laments,
Since it can find no relief.
I do not know why I am rejected,
If this is the case, I shall hunt elsewhere.
Alas, my lady, is there no hope for me?
Indeed, good sir, I did not say that.
Serve well: you will be rewarded.
Alas, my lady, I thank you with all my heart.
