Lyrics: Anon

Qui veut d'amour savoir tous les ébats
S'envienne à moi, car je suis bien apris.
Premier se sont accords pleins de débats,
Chasse pénible où le veneur est pris;
C'est un métier dont le maître est repris;
Aigre plaisir mêlé de doulé rage,
Et puis honneur qui se tourne à mépris,
Où plus est fol celui qui est plus sage.

Whoever wants to know about all love's tricks
looks me since I am expert.
First there are agreements with many arguments;
an arduous hunt in which the huntsman is caught;
it is a subject in which the adept is taken down;
a bitter pleasure alloyed with pained anger,
and then respect which turns to contempt,
in which the wisest is the most foolish.
