Larbre damour ung fruict d'amaritude se ma donnez
en lyeux de sa lyesse

dame venus vostre beatitude
triste serait sans le nom de deesse
</poem>
Modern French
L'arbre d'amour m'a donné
en lieu de sa liesse
un fruit d'améritude, amer, plein de sollicitude.
Pour la douceur me vient au goût: rudesse.
Dame Vénus, votre beatitude
serait trise sans le nom de déesse.
English translation
I stood by the tree of love
but got a bitter fruit of loneliness
rather than the sweet fruit of joy.
Instead of sweetness, I tasted naught but worries.
Oh Lady Venus, if it were not for your divine title
you would be but a sorry woman.
