Original text and translations

French text Qui ne regrettoit le gentil Févin bien villain seroit: Tres habile estoit, si doux et begnin, Dont en nostre endroit prions de cueur fin Qu'en paradis soit, ou souvent pensoit parvenir en fin.

English translation Whoever would not mourn Gentle Févin Would be a boor indeed: Most skilled was he, gracious and benign, Wherefore for our part Let us pray from a fine heart That he be in paradise Where he often thought To come at last.
