Original text and translations

French text Il estoit une religieuse De l’Ordre de l’Ave Maria Qui d’un Pater estoit tant amoureuse Que son gent corps avec le sien lya. L’abesse vint demandant qu’il y a. Lors respondirent l’un et l’autre Le Pater et l’Ave Maria Sont enfiléz en une Patenostre.

English translation In years gone by there was a holy nun From the Order of Hail Mary Whose love for a Father was so wanton That the two to bed themselves did carry. What’s up, the Abbess asked, her voice wary. And they answered, all a-bother The Father and the Hail Mary Are joined together in one Our Father. Translation by Thomas Daughton
