Song About Lopo the Jongleur
- Lopo the jongleur one day went
- to sing at the house of a nobleman,
- who ordered that he get as payment
- three swift kicks below his chin,
- which was stingy in my opinion,
- considering how he sings.
- The nobleman was much too stingy
- in the number of kicks he ordered,
- with Lopo only being given
- three of them below his chin;
- that joke of a jongleur deserved more,
- considering how he sings.
[English version by Richard Zenith]
