Mes bons peres religieulx
vous disnez pour ung grant mercy.
O gens heureulx, o demy dieulx,
pleusist a Dieu que fus' ainsi vivre pourroie, sans soucy.
Car le veu qui largent vous oste,
vous dispense que ca ne cy.
Vous payes iamais vostre hoste.

Modern French
Mes bons pères réligieux,
vous dînez que pour un "grand merci".
O gens heureux, ô demi-dieux,
qu'il plaise à Dieu qu'il fut ainsi que je puisse vivre sans soucis.
Car le voeu qui vous libère de l'argent
vous dispense ça et là.
Vous ne payez jamais votre hôte.

O holy lords
you dine but for a "thank you".
O lucky people, lucky half gods,
if only the Lord awarded me to adopt your lifestyle.
Since the vow that freed you of all money woes
also sets you free wherever you go,
never paying the host.
