French text
Fleur de quinze ans si Dieu vous sauve et gard,
j'ai en amour trouvé cinq points exprès,
premierement il y a le regard,
puis le devis et le baiser après,
l'atouchement suit le baiser de près,
et tous ceux la tendent au dernier point,
qui est: je ne le dirai point,
mais s'il vous plaît en ma chambre vous rendre,
je me mettrai volontiers en pourpoint,
voire tout nu pour le vous faire apprendre.
{{Translation|English| Flower aged fifteen, may God save and protect you. In love, I have found five particular stages: first, there is the look, next, the offer, and the kiss afterwards; the touch follows the kiss closely, and all of those lead to the final stage, which is: I shall not say it, but if you will please come into my room, I will happily strip to my jacket, or even completely naked, to make you understand.
- Translation by Reinier Post, after David Wyatt
