Calextone, qui fut dame terrouse,
A Jupiter fit un doulz sacrefice,
Tant qu'il la mist conme sa vraye espouse
Hault ou troune, et li fu moult propice ;
Et puis amoureusement
La courouna sur toutes richement :
Lors touz lez dieux li feirent per homage
Joieux recept et amoureux soulage.

Callisto who was a lady

Language: English after the French (Français)

Callisto who was an earthly lady
Made sweet sacrifice to Jupiter,
So that he placed her as his true wife
High on a throne, and made her many favours;
And then lovingly
He crowned her more richly than all other women;
Then all the gods gave her equal homage,
A joyous reception and loving comfort.
