{{Translation|English|
In happy days of youthful ignorance
When I bore the infant master of the gods,
You, knowing a newborn would face stiff odds,
Rightly wanted him suckled on confidence.
Now, no matter what I might do or try,
There’s no way to oust him from his abode,
For he has become more pow’rful than I;
In spite of me, I know he will freeload,
But in spite of him, I’m comforted by
Knowing he’ll leave when my body is cold.}}

Au temps heureux que ma jeune ignorance
Receut l'enfant que des dieux est le maistre,
Vous cognoissant qu'el na faisoit que maistre,
Voulastes bien le nourir d'esperance:
Na pour assay que je face ou effort
Possible m'est loster da sa demeure,
car plus que moy il est devenu fort;
Malgré moy donc il fault qu'el y demeure,
Mais maugre luy aussi j'ay ce confort,
Qu'il sortira au moins mais que je meure.

In happy days of youthful ignorance
When I bore the infant master of the gods,
You, knowing a newborn would face stiff odds,
Rightly wanted him suckled on confidence.
Now, no matter what I might do or try,
There’s no way to oust him from his abode,
For he has become more pow’rful than I;
In spite of me, I know he will freeload,
But in spite of him, I’m comforted by
Knowing he’ll leave when my body is cold.
