Orsus, filles

Language: French (Français)

Our translations: ENG

Orsus, filles, que l'on me donne
Dedans ce cristal qui raionne
A longs trais de ce Dieu gaillard !
Je suis tant alteré qu'à peine,
Puis je retirer mon aleine,
Pour la grande chaleur qui m'ard.

Up, girls!

Language: English after the French (Français)

Up, girls, give me
Within this crystal [cup] which shines
So brightly, a taste of this merry God!
I am so changed that I can
Hardly catch my breath
For the great heat which burns me.
