7. Rondel: «Belle, pour hair faulceté»

Belle, pour hair faulceté
Et vous servir de cuer d’amy,
M’out Amours mis en tel party
Que je pers plaisance et senté.

Car savoir ne puis ce vo gré
Est qu’ayez ja de moy mercy,
Belle, pour hair faulceté
Et vous servir de cuer d’amy.

Mais, s’il vous plaisoit qu’asseuré
En feusse par ung doulx octry,
De tous poins seroye gary
Du gré mal qui tant m’a duré.

Belle, pour hair faulceté
Et vous servir de cuer d’amy,
M’out Amours mis en tel party
Que je pers plaisance et senté.
 
7. Rondeau: “Fair one, in order to hate falsehood”

Fair one, in order to hate falsehood
And to serve you with a lover’s heart,
Love has put me in such a state
That I lose both pleasure and health.

For I cannot know if it is your will
Ever to have mercy on me,
Fair one, in order to hate falsehood
And to serve you with a lover’s heart.

But if it pleased you that reassured
I might be with a sweet gift,
In every respect I would be cured
Of the sorrow that has lasted me so long.

Fair one, in order to hate falsehood
And to serve you with a lover’s heart,
Love has put me in such a state
That I lose both pleasure and health.
