Original text and translations

French text En venant de Lyon, Trouvai en un buisson Robin et Marion. Il lui levait son pélisson, Mais je ne sais qu’ils font. Robin a dit à Marion: Voici bien gardé mouton!

English translation Returning from Lyon, Beneath a bush I spied Robin and Marion. I saw him lifting her chiffon, But don’t know what was going on. Then Robin said to Marion Look what prize I’ve come upon! Translation by Thomas Daughton
