Text (Clément Marot): Martin menoit son pourceau au marché, Avec Alix qui en la plaine grande Pria Martin de faire le péché De l'ung sur l'aultre, et Martin luy demande : "Et qui tiendroit nostre pourceau, friande ?" "Qui, dist Alix, bon remede il y a". Lors le pourceau à sa jambe lya. Et Martin juche qui lourdement engaine. Le porc eut peur et Alix s'escria : "Serre Martin, nostre pourceau m'entraine". Translation: Martin was taking his pig to market With Alice, who, as they crossed the plain, Invited Martin to sin with her, One on top of the other, and Martin asked, "But who will hold on to our pig, you saucy girl?" "Who indeed," said Alice, "I know what to do. Once she had tied the pig to her leg, And Martin was heavily grunting away, The pig took fright, and Alice cried out, "Hold on tight, Martin, our pig is dragging me away!"  less
