Language: French (Français)
En l'ombre d'ung buissonet
Au matinet,
Je trouvai Bellon m'amye
Qui faisoit
Ung chapalet
De lavande et de muguet.
En l'ombre d'ung buissonet
Au matinet,
De si bon het,
Je luy dis : « Dieu te begnye.
Je te prie Bellon m'amye,
Ayme moi, je suis Robin. »
« Robin, par saincte Marie,
Je ne t'aymeray ja grain. »
« Je te donray de mon pain
Ung grand pain poing,
De la croute et de la mye,
Si tu veulx a estre m'amye. »

In the shade of a bush
Language: English after the French (Français)
In the shade of a bush
In the morning
I found Beauty my beloved
Who was making
A chaplet
Of lavender and lily-of-the-valley.
In the shade of a bush
In the morning
In such good spirits
I said to her: "God bless you.
I beg you, Beauty my love,
Love me, I am Robin."
"Robin, by St Mary,
I shall never love you one tiny grain."
"I will give you from my loaf
A great big fistful of bread,
Some crust and some of the soft inside,
If you will be my love."
