Original text
La morre est jeu pire qu'aux quilles,
ne qu'aux échecs ne qu'au quillart
à ce méchant jeu Coquillart
perdit sa vie et ses coquilles.

Sacred contrafact (from Le thresor de musique d'Orlande de Lassus)
Les dez, c'est jeu pire qu'aux quilles,
Ni qu'aux eschez ne qu'au quillart.
Mais à tout fol jeu, maint raillart,
Perdra sa vie et ses coquilles.

English.png English translation

Morra is worse than nine-pins,
Worse than chess and worse than billiards
At this nasty game Coquillart*
Lost his life and his fortune.

*Guillaume Coquillart was a French poet much admired by Marot who was said to have died of grief after losing his fortune in a game of morra. “Coquillart” means “pilgrim” and “coquille” means “shell”, so the last two lines are also a pun referring to the pilgrimage of Santiago de Compostela, the symbol of which is the cockleshell.
