Original text

Faulte d'argent c'est douleur non pareille
se ie le dis las ie scay bien pourquoy
sans de quibus il se fault tenir quoy
femme qui dort pour argent se reveille

Modern French
Faute d'argent c'est douleur non pareille.
Si je le dis, hélas, je sais bien pourquoi.
Sans argent, il faut se tenir tranquille.
Femme qui dort, pour argent se réveille.

English.png English translation

Being poor is a great pain.
And alas, I know it but all too well.
The penniless have to lay low,
since sleeping women will only wake for cash.
