Laissez-moy penser à mon aise,
Hélas! donnez m'en le loysir.
Je devise avecques Plaisir,
Combien que ma bouche se taise.
Quand Merencolie mauvaise
Me vient maintes fois assaillir,
Laissez-moy penser à mon aise,
Hélas! donnez m'en le loysir.
Car afin que mon cueur rapaise,
J'appelle Plaisant-Souvenir,
Qui tantost me vient resjoüir.
Pour ce, pour Dieu! ne vous desplaise,
Laissez-moy penser à mon aise.

Hence away, begone, begone,
Carking care and melancholy!
Think ye thus to govern me
All my life long, as ye have done?
That shall ye not, I promise ye,
Reason shall have the mastery.
So hence away, begone, begone,
Carking care and melancholy!
If ever ye return this way,
With your mournful company,
A curse be on ye, and the day
That brings ye moping back to me!
Hence away, begone, I say,
Carking care and melancholy!
