I'll see the Romantics, and raise you a Franco-Burgundian - (see above).

A bonus:

Pleine de dueil (full of sorrow).

This may be the prettiest thing I have heard in a long time. Wait for the cascading repetitions with the countertenor on "pour me reconforter."

Full of pain and sadness,
seeing that my suffering increases all the time,
and that in the end I can’t bear it anymore,
I’m constrained, in order to comfort myself,
to render the rest of my life to you.
I beg you and humbly ask,
for the pains that fill me,
never to leave me,
since I’m yours for the rest of my life.

Thank you. That’s fascinating.
