Dutch text Es sout ein meiskin halen wyn, 'snavens al so spade, sy hat ein so wit hembdekin aen, daerduer sach ick die lustelyke maene, sy sach alhier, sy meint, sie war alleine, sy hat ein so schoen zwart plaetskin staen altuissen huer sneewitte beinen.

English translation A maiden went to bring wine.  Late at night.  She had only a very white smallshirt on.  And through it you could see her lusty behind,  She looked here,  she looked there  and she thought she was all alone.  She had a very black place  between her snow white legs.
