Original text and translations

French text Un avocat dit à sa femme : « Sus, m’amie, que jouerons-nous ? » « Si je gagne, ce dit la dame, Vous le me ferez quatre coups. » « Quatre coups, c’est couché trop gros Comment serait jeu sans pitié ? » « Non, non, maître, tenez-le tout, Dit le clerc, j’en suis de moitié. »

English translation One day a lawyer said to his wife “Say, dear, what bet shall we make today?” “If I win,” said his gal with some life, “Four times to me you’ll have to pay.” “Four times!” said he, “There is no way, How could I play such a merciless game?” “No, no, master, go on and play”, Said the clerk, “Take half – I’ll do the same.” Translation by Thomas Daughton
