I am departed from you, my soveraine;

Fortune, alas! dont vient la destenee,

That in no wyse I can ne may attayne

To see the beautè of your eyën twayne.

Wherfore I say, for tristesse doth me grame,

Tant me fait mal departir de ma dame!

Why nere my wisshing brought to suche esploit

That I might say, for joye of your presence,

'Ore a man cuer ce quil veuilloit,
