Original text and translations

French.png French text

Ung musequin d’ung assez beau maintien
Trouvay ung jour sans m’esmayez de rien
Je l'embrassay et lui fiz coup à quille,
"Las," dict-elle, "comment cela frétille!
Encore un coup, car il me fait grant bien!"

Modern French
Une jeune femme à la mode
que je trouvais par hasard
ne se doutant de rien,
je l'embrassais
et lui fis le coup à quille.
"Las," dit-elle,
"comment cela frétille!
Encore un coup,
car cela me fait grand bien!"

English.png English translation

A nice cocotte with all the parts she ought
Found I one day without a second thought
I grabbed her close and poked her with my quill
“Oh my,” said she, “that gave a little thrill!”
“Do it again, it really hits the spot!”

Translation by Thomas Daughton
