Original text and translations

French text Pour parvenir, bon pied bon oeil Avoir fault à l’embuche Et soubtenir plaisir et dueil D’amoureulx escarmuche.

English translation Translation by Mick Swithinbank To triumph in an ambush When past the prime of youth, You’ll need all the vigour you have: I tell you that’s the truth. You must take the rough with the smooth When push comes to shove In skirmishes of love.
