Original text and translations

French text Au joly boys, en l'ombre d`ung soucy, M'y fault aller pour passer ma tristesse, Remply de dueil d'ung souvenir transy, Menger m'y fault maintes poires d`angoisse, En ung jardin remply de noires flours De mes deux yeulx feray larmes et plours. Fy de lyesse et hardiesse! Regret m'oppresse, Puis que j'ay perdu mes amours. Las! trop j`endure, Le temps m'y dure, Je vous asseure: Soulas, vous n'avez plus de cours!

English translation To the merry wood, adumbered by care, Take me I must to suffer my sadness. By a numbing memory filled with despair, There torture will I bear unto madness, In a garden bedecked with flowers black Tears from my eyes will pour and sobs me rack. Fie on what’s fair and devil-may-care! Grief must I bear, My love is gone and won’t be back. Too much I endure, time is no cure, I thee assure: Solace, you are a comfort poor! Translation by Thomas Daughton
