Original text and translations

French text En m'oyant chanter quelquefois, Tu te plains qu'estre je ne daigne Musicien, et que ma voix Mérite bien que l'on m'enseigne : Voire, que la peine je preigne D'apprendre ut, ré, mi, fa, sol, la. Que diable veux-tu que j'apreigne ? Je ne boy que trop sans cela.

English translation Sometimes when you can hear me sing You gripe that I would dare call me Musician, and say I should spring For lessons to sing properly, Or more, that I get carefully Do, re, mi, fa, sol, la down pat. Why would I learn such devilry? I drink too much without all that. Translation by Thomas Daughton
