Original text and translations
French text
- Quand l'ennuy facheux vous prend
- N'attendez point qu'il entame
- Votre beauté dont despend
- Le plaisir plus doux que basme.
- Venez, et je soys infame
- S'en riant ne vous guéris.
- J'ay du passetems, madame,
- pour dix.
English translation
- If you feel the sorrow setting in,
- do not wait for it to overcome
- your beauty, which is the source
- of pleasure sweeter than balm.
- Come to me, and I'll be damned
- if I do not cure your sorrow with a laugh.
- I have tricks up my sleeve, my lady,
- that would cure ten like you.
