Original text and translations

French.png French text

Le content est riche en ce monde
Et bien heureux en ce temps cy.
A cœur joyeux liberté monde,
Vivre toujours hors de soucy.
Estre amoureux non pas transy,
À tous deux clore les yeux.
Toujours gaillars, faitez ainsi
Et vous vivrez cent ans de mieux.
