Je prens congies

Je prens congies1 de mes amours
Des quelles me fault partir hellas2 
Nul ne me vient donner secours hellas
Dont dois plourer et bien gemir3
Nul ne me vient donner secours
Dont dois plourer et bien gemir 
Si suis le mis en plus decent martire4
Je dis adieu a mes amours 
Soudainement me voye morir.
