Original text and translations

French text Parfons regretz et lamentable joye, Venez à moi quelque part que je soye Et vous hastez sans point dissimuler Pour promptement mon cueur exécuter Affin qu’en dueil et larmes il se noye.

English translation No more regrets and mournful joy. Come to me, wherever I am, and once for all, without deception, assassinate my heart, so that it may dissolve in grief and tears.

German translation Schmelzt dahin, Bedauern und traurige Freude. Kommt zu mir, wo immer ich bin, und eilt, ohne etwas zu verbergen, mein Herz hinzurichten, damit es in Trauer und Tränen ertrinke. Translation by Gerhard Weydt
