Et quant ma maladie
Garie
Ne sera nullement
Sans vous, douce anemie,
Qui lie
Estes de mon tourment,
A jointes mains deprie
Vo cuer, puis qu’il m’oublie,
Que temprement m’ocie,
Car trop langui longuement.
Douce dame jolie,
Pour dieu ne penses mie
Que nulle ait signourie
Seur moy fors vous seulement.

Sourced
And since my maladyWill not beCured at allWithout you, sweet enemy.Who are gladAt my torment.With folded hands I prayTo your heart, since it forgets me.That it should kill me quickly.For I languish too long.Sweet pretty lady.For God’s sake do not thinkThat any one has authorityOver me but you alone.. “Douce dame jolie “, line 33; translation by Jennifer Garnham.
