Lyrics: Anon

Une nonain de l'abbesse reprise
Du ventre enflé couvrait son vitupère,
Disant qu'à force elle avait été prise,
Et que trop faible était pour le beaupère.
"Que ne fis tu", dit lors la vieille mère,
"Bruit & rumeur, voyant sa violence?"
"Cétait au cloître, un soir, dit la commère
Où l'on nous dit qu'il faut faire silence".

So this nun, hauled before the abbess
With a swollen belly, addresses her complaint,
Saying she'd been taken by force,
And had been too weak against her stepfather.
The abbess asks "So why didn't you,
Experiencing his abuse, raise any hue and cry?".
"It was one evening in the cloisters", says the informant,
"Where we were told we must observe the rule of silence".
