Comme la rose se perd en peu d'espace,
ainsi le teint et la beauté mondaine,
en peu de temps se consom'et se passe,
et n'a pour vray qu'une durée soubdaine,
or donc n'a mye* en beauté tant humaine,
de ta beaute et naturelle grace,
prenons plaisir et liesse certaine,
avant le temps qu'un tel bien nous deface.

  • m'amye?

As the rose must fade and cannot last,
So the youthful bloom upon your skin,
Your comely face, your springtime, will be past
Too soon, the swift years' ravages begin.
And so my love, let all your human charms
Go not to waste, but let us them enjoy:
Pleasure beckons, take me in your arms
Before relentless time can all destroy.
