Lyrics: Anon

Michault avait au curé convenu
Qu'il tirerait des coqus les offrandes.
Voici venir des femmes à grands bandes,
Dont Michault prit trestout le revenu.
Jusque à ce que par rang advenu,
Sa femme offrit, et le curé dit: "Tire".
Michault refuse comme rempli dire,
Laisse passer l'offrande en c'est endroit.
Lors en criant le curé lui va dire:
"Tire Michault,elle est tienne de droit".

So Michault agrees with that arse, the vicar,
That he'll take the cuckolds' oblations.
Women show up in droves,
And Michault trousers loads of money.
Until, coming to the front of the queue,
His wife proffers, and the priest says "take it".
Michault refuses in short,
And declines this particular oblation.
Then shouting, that arse, the vicar says to him:
"Take it, Michault; it's yours as of right".
