French text

Choir:

Cueurs desolez par toute nation.

Assemblez duiel et lamentation.

Ne cherchez plus l’armoniance,

Lyre d’Orpheus pour voz resiouysance.

Mais plongez vous en desolation.

Tenor line from Lamentations of Jeremiah:

Plorans ploravit in nocte,

et lacrymae eius maxillis eius,

non est qui consoletur eam

ex omnibus caris eius.

English translation

Hearts, grieve for all the nation

assemble sorrow and lamentation.

Do not search for harmony anymore,

for Orpheus’ lyre to rejoyce,

but plunge yourselves into desolation

She weepeth sore in the night,

and her tears are on her cheeks;

she hath none to comfort her

among all her lovers.
