Original text and translations

French text Par fin despit ie men yray seulette Au ioly boys en lumbre dung buisson En attendant passser ma marrisson Et que iauray ma volonte parfaicte.

French text  modernized Par fin dépit, je m'en irai seulette Au joli bois, en l'ombre d'un buisson, En attendant passer ma marrisson; Et que j'aurai ma volonté parfaite.

English translation Out of spite, I'm going alone to the greenwood, to a bush's shade, Waiting for my mardiness to disperse; And that is my express wish. (trans Timmi O'Danaos & Donna Ferrentes)
