Corps feminin, par vertu de Nature
A droit devis, traitis et compassé,
Tant noblement, certes, que vo figure
Humble sans per, passeflour de beauté ;
Et tant est doulz et plaisant
L'amoureux ray de vostre œil riant,
Lequel me fait, par un doulz souvenir,
Joieux et gay en ses las maintenir.

The female body
Language: English after the French (Français)
Chosen for Diff
The female body, by Nature's gift,
Is perfectly planned, designed and fashioned,
As nobly indeed as your face,
Peerlessly humble, surpassing the flowers in beauty;
Just as sweet and pleasing is
The loving glance of your smiling eye
Which makes me, through sweet memory,
Remain happy and joyous in its snare.
