Il est bel et bon, commère, mon mari.
Il estoit deux femmes toutes d'ung pays.
Disanst l'une à l'aultre - "Avez bon mary?"
Il ne me courrousse, ne me bat aussy.
Il faict le mesnaige,
Il donne aux poulailles,
Et je prens mes plaisirs.
Commère, c'est pour rire
Quand les poulailles crient:
Petite coquette (co co co co dae)e, qu'esse-cy?

 French text

Il est bel est bon, bon, bon, commère, mon mari,
Il ètait deux femmes toutes d'un pays,
Disant l'une à l'autre avez bon mari?
Il ne me courrouce ne me bat aussi.
Il fait le ménage,
Il donne aux poulailles,
Et je prends mes plaisirs.
Commère c'est pour rire
Quand les poulailles crient:
Co, co, co, co, de, petite coquette, qu'est ceci?

 English translation

He is handsome and fine, my husband is,
There were two gossiping women in the village,
Saying one to the other, do you have a good husband?
He doesn't scold me, or beat me either.
He does the chores,
He feeds the chickens
And I take my pleasure.
Really you have to laugh
to hear the cries of the chicks and hens:
Co, co, co, co, dae, little flirt, what's this?

AVE VERUM CORPUS Latin
Ave verum corpus, natum de Maria Virgine,[2] vere passum, immolatum in cruce pro homine cuius latus perforatum fluxit aqua et sanguine:[3] esto nobis praegustatum in mortis examine.[4] O Iesu dulcis, O Iesu pie, O Iesu, fili Mariae. Miserere mei. Amen.[5]	Hail, true Body, born of the Virgin Mary, who having truly suffered, was sacrificed on the cross for mankind, whose pierced side flowed with water and blood: May it be for us a foretaste [of the Heavenly banquet] in the trial of death. O sweet Jesus, O pious Jesus, O Jesus, son of Mary, have mercy on me. Amen.
