Si je voyais la fin de l'âge qui te reste Ma raison tomberait sous l'excès de mon deuil Je pleurerais sans cesse un malheur si funeste, Et ferais, jour et nuit, l'amour à ton cercueil.
If I saw the end of the age that remains for you My reason would fall under the excess of my mourning I would ceaselessly cry over such a disastrous misfortune, And would make love, day and night, to your coffin.
