Unicorne [English translation]

I am just like the unicorn

that, while looking, gets frightened,

when it considers the Maiden.

It is so glad of its discomfort,

that it falls helpless in its lap;

and I saw you for the first time,

my heart trembled such a way,

that it stayed with you, when I left.

I am just like the unicorn

that, while looking, gets frightened,

when it considers the Maiden.

It is so glad of it's discomfort,

that it falls helpless in its lap;

Then it was brought, without redemption,

in the sweet dungeon, held a prisoner.

Lady, since I cannot delude,

might mercy be used at this time,

to make, so large a burden, bearable.

to make, so large a burden, bearable.

I am just like the unicorn

that, while looking, gets frightened,

when it considers the Maiden.

It is so glad of it's discomfort,

that it falls helpless in its lap;
