Original text
Trop endurer sans avoir allegeance
cause a lesprit si tres grande grievance
che mort sensuict sans avoir reconfort
de son vouloir luy faisant son effort
que brief secours luy fera allegiance
Modern French
Trop endurer, sans avoir allègement,
cause à l'esprit une très grande peine
que la mort s'en suit sans avoir réconfort.
Si elle faisait un effort de bonne volonté
un brief secours lui sera d'un grand support.
English translation
If suffering does not end in solace,
the soul is terribly tormented,
up to a point where death ensues, without the slightest comforting.
If only she would be kinder towards him,
this brief gesture would mean the world to him.
