Susanne un jour d'amour solicitée
Par deux viellardz, convoitans sa beauté,
Fust en son coeur triste et desconfortée,
Voyant l’effort fait à sa chasteté.
Elle leur dict, Si par desloyauté
De ce corps mien vous avez jouissance,
C’est fait de moy. Si ie fay resistance,
Vous me ferez mourir en deshonneur.
Mais j’aime mieux périr en innocence,
Que d’offenser par peché le Seigneur.

English.png English translation

Susanne, in a day of love, approached by
Two old men lusting after her beauty,
became sad and displeased in her heart
seeing the interest in her chastity.
She says : 'If, illegitimately,
From my body you take pleasure,
It would be my choice. If I resist,
You would make me die in disgrace.
But I prefer to perish innocent,
Than to offend the Lord with a sin.
