Seule à part moy dans chambre bien parée Fais maintz regretz de joye separée Disant a dieu qu’il me faisoit grant tort Puis qu’il souffroit que la dolente mort M’eust de tout bien ainsi desemparée Comme la plus du monde preparée A souffrir mort par moy tant desirée Je vey qu’alors mon mal croissoit si fort
Que si espoir ne m’eust donné confort Cent mille foys fusse desesperée All alone in my gilded chamber, Filled with regrets, bereft of joy, Saying to God that he has done me a great wrong, For he has let doleful death Take all good things away… More willing than anyone in the world To suffer a desperate death As my pain increased so much With no hope of receiving comfort A hundred thousand times would I despair.
