French text Original underlay Ung iour Colin la collecte s'accula en luy disant or mectez le cul là, puis de si pres se print à la coler, que la colant qu'en bricolant la goute fist couler, et pour culer iamais ne recula. Modern French version Un jour, Colin accula la Collette, en disant: "Mettez le cul là!" Puis, de si près, se prit à la coller en se livrant aux pratiques de l'amour, fit couler la goute et jamais ne recula.

English translation One day, Colin pushed Collette into a corner, telling her: "Get your a** over there!" And then, right close to her, started doing her, perfecting the art of love-making till the very last drop, as he never shied away from a good time.
