Hastez vous, petite folle,
Contentons nostre desir,
Venez que je vous accolle,
Sus, faites moy ce plaisir.

Vostre grand beauté m’affolle,
Friande, oyez mon cry.
Je vous en pry,
Je suis marry ja contre vous:
Faut-il point qu’amour soit doux?

Si vous me reffusez
Vous m’abusez:
Donc appaisez vostre courroux:
Faut-il point qu’Amour soit doux?

Hurry up, you silly little thing
Language: English  after the French (Français) 
Hurry up, you silly little thing,
Let’s satisfy our desire!
Come so I can hug you,
Go on, give me this pleasure.

Your great beauty makes me mad,
My fond one, hear my cry
I beg you.
I am already annoyed with you:
Surely love should be sweet?

If you refuse me
You abuse me:
So calm your anger:
Surely love should be sweet?
