Languir me fais
Language: French (Français)
Our translations: ENG
Languir me fais sans t'avoir offensée: Plus ne m'escriptz, plus de moy ne t'enquiers; Mais non obstant, aultre Dame ne quiers: Plus tost mourir que changer ma pensée. Je ne dy pas t'amour estre effacée, Mais je me plains de l'ennuy que j'acquiers, Et loing de toy humblement te requiers Que loing de moy, de moy ne sois faschée.
