Original text and translations

Dutch text Als ick u vinde met u spil en spinrock, met u schoon handen ende rode wangen, dan vind ic dat ic ben van u gevangen. 'tLigt uwer sterre stralet soo verre, maen en sonne bleecken. Wil mij genadigh syn, myn niet versaecken, Soo dattic metterstont [nae tot] u hert geraecke. Naer u gesinne in soeter minne heymelic vermeyen, Laet my genadighlic van quaelen sterven Als moettic tallentyt u [blanke] boezem derven.

English translation completed by Mick Swithinbank When I find you with your spindle and distaff, with your fair hands and red cheeks, I find myself captured by you. The light of your star shines out so far that moon and sun pale beside it: have mercy on me, do not forsake me, so that I can touch your heart. Secretly revelling in sweet love for you (?) let me mercifully die of torment if I must for ever be deprived of your [fair] breast.
