Original text and translations

French text Frère Frappart, troussé comme il faudroit, Venoit de champs et faisoit bonne trongne. Une nonnain trouva qui y alloit et il la vous print luy disant: "Ma mignone, ferons-nous pas, vous et moi, la besongne? Allons à part pour remuer la fesse et si quelqu'un sus le faict nous empongne, m'excuseray disant: "Je vous confesse."

English translation Brother Frappart, as charming as could be, Was on his way home and feeling quite fine. He spied a nun as he strolled in the lea And greeted her saying, “Oh darling mine, What say you and I do something divine? Let’s go off and find a slice of heaven If someone catches us as we entwine I’ll pardon me saying, “You are shriven.” Translation by Thomas Daughton
