Je te hay bien (croy moy) maitresse

Language: French

 Je te hay bien (croy moy) maitresse,
 Je te hay bien, je le confesse.
 Mais toy que je debvrois plus fort
 Hayr [mill' et]1 mille fois que la mort,
 Il faut que maugré moy je t'ayme
 Dix [mill' et]1 mille fois plus que moymeisme:
 Car plus ta fiere cruauté
 M'espouvante, plus ta beauté
 (Pour mourir et vivr' avec elle)
 À ton service me r'appelle.
