Dat meysken loech het was haer gheneucht, maer sy en sanck gheen ander liet, dan ketelt me nu, ken ben niet schu, maer en scheurt myn hemdeken niet.

English translation A girl rose up early, secretly, all quiet; She put on a nice dress to please her lover. She let him in, it was a faultless start. "You can tickle me now, I'm not shy, but don't tear my dress!" The girl laughed, it pleased her so. But she sang no other song than: "Tickle me now, I'm not shy, but don't tear my dress!"
