| Regrets, ennuy, traveil et desplaisance |
Regret, boredom, labor, and displeasure |
Regret, ennui, travail, distaste, derision: |
| est le loyer du transi conquerant, |
are the price exacted by the icy conqueror; |
These dues attend the icy victor's call; |
| combien qu'il soit jouyssant requerant, |
even if one is a joyful petitioner, |
For even if in joy to Him you fall, |
| jouyr d'amour n'est pas ce que l'on pense. |
the joy of love is not what one thinks. |
The joy of love is not what you envision. |
