Original text and translations

French.png French text

Un doux nenny, avec un doux soubrire,
est tant honneste, il le vous faut apprendre,
quant est d'ouy si veniez à le dire,
d'avoir trop dit je vous voudrois reprendre,
non que je suis envieux d'entreprendre,
d'avoir le fruit dont le désir me point,
mais je voudrois qu'en me laissant prendre
vous me dieriez non, vous ne l'aurez point.
