Se congié prens

Si congié prens de mes belles amours,
Vray amoureulx ne m'en vueillez blasmer
J'en ay souffert de plus griesves douleurs
Que ne font ceulx qui naigent en la mer
Car tant l'aymer m'est tousjours tant amer
Qu'avoir ne puis d'elle ung tout seul regard,
Fors que rigueur pour mon cueur entamer,
Si prens congié avant qu'il soit plus tard.
