Original text and translations

Dutch text Ghy edel jonghe gheesten, ghesellekens van der lucht, dryft amoureuse feesten, al en isser ghenen bucht, al sout u namaels rouwen, maect daer af gheen ghelach, bedryft solaes met vrouwen als 't u ghebueren mach, sonder verdrach syt nacht en dach om u bejacht, maect gheen ghelach, nature geeft verdrach.

English translation You nobel and young spirits, compagnons of the air, Join in feast of love even when you have no money. Even if you regret it afterwards, do not complain about it. Obtain the comforting of women whenever you can. Without delay, be it night or day, seek your advantage. Make no complaint: nature gives license.
