Original text and translations

French text Alix avait aux dents la male rage et ne pouvait ce grand mal souffrir. Son amy vint, qui a peu de langage, incontinent la promit de guérir, disant : je sais tous les maulx que tu sens, rage d'amour passe le mal des dents.

English translation Alix had a bad toothache and could no longer bear the pain. Her lover came, with graceless tongue, and promised to relieve her, saying: I know what you are feeling, love-sickness cures toothache. Translation by Michael Nick
