Original text and translations

French text Plus ne beuvray de votre vin, ma dame, il a du feu, je m'en suis aperçu, vu que depuis que j'en but, sur mon âme un feu ardent en mon cœur j'ay conçu. Je fus en ce très grandement déçu, car en pensant ma soif rendre contente, tant plus j'en bus, plus de soif j'ay reçu, que depuis lors toujours croît et augmente.

English translation I'll no longer have your wine, madam, since I've noticed it causes heartburn, ever since I've started drinking it, I've felt a burning desire within me. It was a great disappointment to me, for I had been hoping to quench my thirst yet the more I drank, the more I grew thirsty and have been ever since.
