I should lead a happy life

Click to see the original lyrics (French (Old French))
I should lead a happy life,
sweet creature,
if only you truly realized
that you where the cause of all
my concern.
 
Lady of cheerful bearing,
pleasing, bright and pure,
often the woe I suffer
to serve you loyally
 
makes me say 'alas!'
And you may be sure
that I can in no wise
go on living like this, if it lasts
any longer
 
For you are merciless to me
and pitilessly obdurate,
and have put such longing
into my heart
 
that it will certainly die
a most dismal death,
unless for its relief
your mercy is soon
ready.

Please correct the text. There is one line missing: instead of "Se vous saviés vraiement
ma cure." it has to be
"Se vous saviés vraiement
Qu'en vous fust parfaitement ma cure."
