Baise m'encor, rebaise moy & baise
 (Sung text for setting by A. Reimann)
 Matches original text
Language: French (Français) 
Our translations:  ENG HUN
Baise m'encor, rebaise moy & baise :
 Donne m'en un de tes plus sauoureus,
 Donne m'en un de tes plus amoureus :
 Ie t'en rendray quatre plus chaus que braise.

Las, te pleins tu ? ça que ce mal i'apaise.
 En t'en donnant dix autres doucereus.
 Ainsi meslans nos baisers tant heureus
 Iouissons nous l'un de l'autre à notre aise.

Lors double vie à chacun en suiura.
 Chacun en soy & son ami viura.
 Permets m'Amour penser quelque folie :

Tousiours suis mal, viuant discrettement,
 Et ne me puis donner contentement,
 Si hors de moy ne fay quelque saillie.
