De Martin, et Alix
Martin menoit son Pourceau au marché
Avec Alix: qui en la plaine grande
Pria Martin de luy faire le peché
De l'ung sur l'aultre. Et Martin luy demande:
Et qui tiendroit nostre Pourceau, friande?
Qui? dist Alix: bon remede il y a.
Lors son Pourceau à sa jambe lya:
Puis Martin jusche, et lourdement engaine.
Le Porc eut peur, et Alix s'escria,
Serre Martin, nostre Pourceau m'entraîne.

About Martin and Alix
To sell his pig young Martin took a spin
With Alix who, when they were in the wild
Asked Martin to commit with her the sin
Of him on her. And Martin asked, beguiled:
And who will hold our hog, you saucy child?
Who? Alix said: On me you can rely.
So with the pig well settled down close by,
On Martin got, and pumped with all his might
The swine got scared, and Alix gave a cry,
Our pig’s a-boltin’, Martin, hang on tight!
