When I wish to serve and honour her
Quand par escriptz veulx son nom decorer,
When I wish to praise her name in my writings
Quand je la veoy et visite souvent,
When I see her and visit her often
Ses envieux n'en font que murmurer;
Envious folk just murmur
Mais nostre amour n'en scauroit moins durer;
But our love will endure nonetheless;
Autant ou plus en emporte le vent,
The wind may blow all else away,
Maulgre envie, toute ma vie,
Despite those envious souls, all my life
Je l'aymeray et chanteray;
I shall love her and sing
C'est la premiere, c'est la derniere
She is the first and last
Que j'ay servie et serviray.
Whom I have served and will serve
