Pub. 1549. This piece should be interpreted as a parody (in the comedic sense; an inversion and subversion) of Guillaume Guéroult's over-lugubrious text to "Susanne un jour", the first setting of which (Didier Lupi's) had been published the previous year.This edition is offered at original pitch for S.A.T.B. or transposed down a fourth for A.T.T.B.
Lyrics: Anon
Alix à deux vieilles disait
Que son mari était trop chaud
Et que souvent le refusait
Quand lui voulait livrer l'assaut.
Alors, sécrie en tout haut,
"Je prie à Dieu qui me confonde
Puisqu'à present dire le faut
Jamais ne fut si grand péché au monde".
Alix tells two old biddies
That her husband is too randy
And she often denies him
when he wants to lay siege to her.
Then she bewails loudly:
"I beseech God, who confuses me,
Since now he's telling me I must;
There was never so great a sin in the world".
