Original text and translations

French text Petite nymphe folastre, Nymphette que j'idolastre, Ma mignonne dont les yeulx Logent mon pis et mon mieux Ma doulcette ma succrée, Ma grace, ma citherée, Tu me doibs, pour m'appaiser, Mille fois le jour baiser.

English translation Pretty nymph, wanton and pert, Thing I worship, little flirt, My lovely delight whose eyes Witness my lows and my highs, My sugarplum, my sweetie, My blessing, my deity, To keep me pleased, you must pay A thousand kisses a day. Translation by Thomas Daughton
