Il estoit une fillette
Language: French (Français) 
Il estoit une fillette
Qui vouloit scavoir le jeu d'amours
Ung jour qu'elle estoit seullette
Je luy en aprins deux ou trois tours
Apres avoir senty le goust
Elle me dit en soubzirant
»Le premier coup me semble lour
Mais la fin me semble friant«
Je luy dis »vous me tentez«
El me dit »recommencez«
Je l'empoingne, je l'embrasse
Je la fringue fort.
Elle crie »ne cessez«
Je luy dis »vous me gastez
Laissez moy, petite garse,
Vous avez grant tort.«
Mais quant ce vint à sentir le doulx point
Vous l'eussiez veu mouvoir si doulcement
Que son las cueur luy tremble fort et poingt
Mais, Dieu mercy, c'estoit un doulx tourment.
