Dieu! qu'il la fait bon regarder
La gracieuse bonne et belle;
Pour les grans biens que sont en elle
Chascun est prest de la louer.
Qui se pourroit d'elle lasser?
Tousjours sa beauté renouvelle.
Dieu! qu'il la fait bon regarder,
La gracieuse bonne et belle!
Par de ça, ne de là, la mer
Ne sçay dame ne damoiselle
Qui soit en tous bien parfais telle.
C'est ung songe que d'y penser.

God! But she is fair,
graceful, good and beautiful.
All are ready to praise
her excellent qualities.
Who could tire of her?
Her beauty is ever new.
God! but she is fair,
graceful, good and beautiful!
Nowhere does the sea look on
so fair and perfect
a lady or maiden.
Thinking on her is but a dream.
God! but she is fair!
