Original text and translations

French text Un jour vis un foulon qui fouloit, et en foulant mon fron regardoit. Je luy dy: gentil foulon, qui foule, foule, foule, ne regarde plus mon fron, mais foule, foule, foule.

English translation One day I saw a fuller who was fulling, and, while fulling, was looking at my forehead. I said to him, Kind fuller, that fulls, fulls, fulls, do not look at my forehead any more, but full, full, full.

English translation One day I see this grape presser. Pressing grapes. As he's doing it, he looks me in the face. I say "Kind grape presser, on the job, Don't look me in the face, but Press, press, press". (trans. Timmi O'Danaos & Donna Ferrentes) "Fuller" is the more faithful translation, but few today would readily know that his work entailed pounding, pounding, pounding.
