lyrics

Fors seulement contre ce qu’ay promys,
Et en tous lieux seray fort entremys
Et acquerray une belle aliance.
J’en ay desir voire dez mon enfance:
Point ne vouldroye avoir nulz anemys.

Mon vouloir j’ay tout en cela soubmis
Et hors de la ja ne ferai transmis,
Garder n’y veul ordre, sens ne prudence.

Fors seullement contre ce qu’ay promys,
Et en tous lieux seray fort entremys
Et acquerray une belle aliance.

Je cuide avoir en terre des amys
Et que en eulx ay ma fiance mis;
On doibt scavoir que n’ay nulle doubtance
Ou aultrement querroye ma desfiance,
Car je sceray de tout honneur remis.

Only contrary to that which I have promised,
I shall be deeply engaged on all sides
and shall obtain a fair alliance.
I have desired this ever since childhood:
I would have no enemies whatsoever.

I have entirely submitted my will to this end
and from it shall not be moved,
nor will I respect order, sense, or prudence.

Save only contrary to that which I have promised,
I shall be deeply engaged on all sides
and shall obtain a fair alliance.

I believe I have friends in the land
and in them I have placed my trust;
let it be known that I have no doubts whatsoever,
for otherwise I would pursue my suspicions,
since I would be stripped of all honor.
