Original text and translations

French text Au ioli bois sur la verdure De mon ami ie fus troussée D'en avoir regrets ie n'ay cure De lui suis bien recompensée Car pour abatre la rousée En me faisant le joli sobre fault Il est gaillard point ne suis abusée Quand le bon vin point ne lui fault

French text (modernised) Au joli bois, sur la verdure De mon ami je fus troussée. D'en avoir regrets je n'ai cure: De lui suis bien recompensée ; Car pour abattre la rosée, En me faisant le joli soubresaut, Il est gaillard, point ne suis abusée, Quand le bon vin point ne lui faut.

English translation On the green sward in the picturesque wood I was tumbled by my b.f. Regrets? Too few to mention: I am well pleased with him; 'Cause, when flattening the dew, And me going great shakes, He was a right toy-boy (unless I'm very much mistaken!) And didn't need Dutch courage. (trans. Timmi O'Danaos & Donna Ferrentes)
