    5. Translation of Puis qu’en oubli Since I am forgotten by you, sweet friend, I say farewell to joy and life of love. Ill-fated was the day I placed my love in you, Since I am forgotten by you, sweet friend. But what I have promised you I will maintain, Which is that I shall never have any other lover. Since I am forgotten by you, sweet friend, I say farewell to joy and life of love
