[Dieu ! qu'il la fait bon]1 regarder ! La gracieuse bonne et belle ; Pour les grans biens que sont en elle Chascun est prest de la loüer. Qui se pourroit d'elle lasser ? Tous jours sa beauté renouvelle. [Dieu ! qu'il la fait bon]1 regarder ! La gracieuse bonne et belle ! Par deçà, ne de là, la mer Ne sçay dame ne damoiselle Qui soît en tous bien parfais telle. C'est ung songe que d'i penser : [Dieu ! qu'il la fait bon]1 regarder !

Hyvä Jumala! Häntä kelpaa kyllä katsella, hän on suloinen, hyvä ja kaunis; Hänen suuria hyveitään kaikki ovat valmiit ylistämään. Kukapa voisi häneen kyllästyä? Hänen kauneutensa on aina uutta. Hyvä Jumala! Häntä kelpaa kyllä katsella, hän on suloinen, hyvä ja kaunis! Missään, en meren kummallakaan puolella, en ole milloinkaan nähnyt rouvaa tai neitoa, joka olisi hänen vertaisensa. Häntä katsellessaan luulee näkevänsä unta. Hyvä Jumala! Häntä kelpaa kyllä katsella!
