Quam ut nubendam duceret sic ore compellavit:

Quid verbis opus pluribus? Dic volo, dicve nolo,

Sat verbum sapientibus: responde sine dolo.


Then the little maid replied,

“Should I be your little bride,

Pray, what shall we have for to eat eat eat?

Will the flame that you are rich in

Make a fire in the kitchen,

Or the little god of love turn the spit spit spit?”
