French text
Pour courir en poste a la ville
Vingt fois, cent fois, ne scay combien,
Pour faire quelque chose vile,
Frere Lubin le fera bien;
Mais d'avoir honneste entretien,
Ou mener vie salutaire,
C'est affaire a un bon chrestien,
Frere Lubin ne le peut faire.
English translation
by Mick Swithinbank
As for rushing off to town
twenty times, a hundred – reprobate! –
for some foul purpose harming his renown,
Friar Lubin will never hesitate;
but godly precepts to obey,
a life to lead that he’d dare talk about,
that would be the Christian way:
there you can count the friar out.
