My sweet maid
You I wish
A good Day
Your sickbed
Is a jail
Total health
Please regain,
Then unlatch
Your room’s door,
For Clement
Does insist
Go, gourmande,
Thou whose mouth
Lies abed
Under threat,
Off to eat
Fruit preserves;
If thou stay’st
Sick too long,
A pale shade
Wilt aquire
And wilt lose
Thy round shape.
May God grant
Thee good health,
My sweet maid.
