French text modernized Un jour passé, bien écoutaie Une fillette secrètement En lieu secret démenant joie Qui triomphait joyeusement Considérant qu'en mariage Devoit avoir son avantage Au joli jeu sans insolence. Dont elle dit en son langage, "Je suis gai pour Dimanche".

English translation The other day I overheard (most serendipitously) A chit, behind closed doors, In a clandestine pleasure-inducing activity (concluded with utmost satisfaction!). She was excogitating that in marriage She might indulge her predilection For sexual congress without attracting opprobrium. On which matter, she propounded, in her idiolect, "I'm well up for Sunday" (trans. Timmi O'Danaos & Donna Ferrentes)
