Then he sang:

When Seigneur Maan comes up the way

To bid good e’en to lady Zee,

To high Germans, dame Zee, which is the sea, is the wife of Seigneur Maan, which is the moon and the master of women. And so he sang:

When Seigneur Maan comes up the way

To bid good e’en to lady Zee,

The lady Zee will straight purvey

A cup of wine spiced daintily,

When Seigneur Maan comes up the way.

With him she then will sup that day
