Publ. 1536 This edition is offered at original pitch for S.A.T.B. or transposed down a fourth for A.T.T.B. A version arranged for dance band is appended. This piece is intended for dancing, and should be reinforced by percussion, observing the rhythms suggested by e.g. Thoinot Arbeau.
Lyrics: Anon

Content désir qui cause ma douleur,
Heureux savoir qui mon travail renforce;
O fort amour, qui m'a rendu sans force,
Donne secours à ma peine et langueur.

Fulfilled yearning, which causes my dejection,
Happy to know that my burden weighs heavier;
O mighty love, that has made me powerless,
Help me in my grief and torpor.
