English translation

Lord, when I think what a paltery thing

is a glove or a ring

or a top of a fan to brag of,

and how much a Noddy will triumph in a busk point,

snatch with the tag off,

then I say Well fare him

that hath ever used close play.

And when I see what a pitiful grace

hath a frown in the face

or a no in the lips of a Lady,

and when I had wist she would be kiss'd

when she away did go

with hey ho I end so,

Never trust any woman

more than you know. I know.
