Lyrics: Anon

De ceux qui tant de mon bien se tormentent
J'ai d'une part grève compassion;
Puis je m'en ris en voyant qu'ils augmentent
Dedans m'amie un feu d'affection;
Un feu lequel par leur invention
Cuident éteindre. O la pauvre cautelle!
Ils sont plus loin de leur intention,
Qu'ils ne voudraient que je fusse loin d'elle.

For those who worry so much about my good fortune
I have on one hand great compassion;
But then I laugh when I see that they exaggerate
A blaze of affection in my lover;
A fire which by their invention
They think to extinguish. What a feeble ploy!
So far are they from their purpose,
That they would wish only that I was far from her.
