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.
