| | Song Story | O gorgeous Nose bedight with wine and claret
So rutilant and ripe with red and violet
Nose looming through a glass
Finer by far than that of
some poor ass who drinks but water
Wattled and luminous
What wealthy men can boast voluminous noses magnificent?
Crimson with hue so merry
painted with wine
Redder than is the cherry
with drink so fine
They say it does you harm -
a pox on them,
for wine is sovereign remedy and charm.
| | Song Lyrics | BEAU nez, dont les rubis ont cousté mainte pippe
De vin blanc et clairet,
Et duquel la couleur
richement participe
Du rouge et violet ;
Gros nez ! qui te regarde à travers un grant verre
Te juge encor plus beau :
Tu ne ressembles point au nez de quelque herre
Qui ne beoit que de l`eau.
Un coq d`Inde sa gorge a toy semblable porte :
Combien de riches gens
N`ont pas si riche nez !
Pour le peindre en la sorte
Il faut beaucoup de temps.
Le verre est le pinceau duquel on t`enlumine ;
Le vin est la couleur
Dont on t`a peint ainsy plus rouge qu`une guigne
En beuvant du meilleur.
On dit qu`il nuit aux yeux,
mais seront-ils les maîtres ?
Le vin est guarison
De mes maux ;
j`ame mieux perdre les deux fenestres
Que toute la maison.
