Original text and translations

French text Qui dort icy ? Le faut-il demander ?
Venus y dort qui vous peut commander;
Ne l'esveillez, ne vous nuira !
Si l'esveillez, croyez qu'elle ouvrira
Ses deux beaux yeux pour les vostres bander.

English translation Who sleeps here ? Is it really necessary to ask ?
Venus sleeps here, she can control you;
Don't wake her up if you don't want trouble !
If you wake her up, be sure she will open
Her beautiful eyes to blindfold yours.
