French text En l'ombre d'ung buissonet, Tout au long d'une riviere, Trouvay Robyn le filz Marguet Qui prioit sa dame chiere Et luy dit en tel maniere: "Je vous aime, fin cueur doulx." Adonc respondit la bergiere: "Robin, comment l'entendés vous?"

English translation Shaded from the heat of day, Lying on a riverside, I came upon Robin Marguet Taking his gal for a joyride When done, he did to her confide: “How I love you, fine sweet heart” "Tell me, Robin," the farmgirl replied: “You figured that out from which part?"
