French text
Susann' un jour d'amour sollicitée
Par deux viellards, convoitans sa beauté,
Fut en son coeur triste et désconfortée,
Voyant l’effort fait à sa chasteté.
Elle leur dit, Si par désloyauté
De ce corps mien vous avez jouissance,
C’est fait de moi. Si je fais résistance,
Vous me ferez mourir en déshonneur.
Mais j’aime mieux périr en innocence,
Que d’offenser par péché le Seigneur.
English translation
One day, Susanne's love was solicited by
Two old men coveting her beauty.
She became sad and displeased in her heart,
Seeing the attempt at her chastity.
She said : 'If, dishonourably,
From my body you take pleasure,
This is done to me. If I resist,
You would make me die in disgrace.
But I would rather perish innocent,
Than to offend the Lord with a sin.
