Text and translation

Je le lerray puisqu’il me bat,
hé Dieu, helas.
Et l’ort villain mal engrongné
qui dessus moy a controuvé
que j’estoys allé[e] a l’esbat.
Je le lerray puisqu’il my bat,
hé Dieu, helas.

Depuis deulx ou trois moys en la,
hé Dieu, helas,
mon mari est allé au guet,
il n’a pas fermé le guichet
par ou mon amy vient et va.
Je le lerray puisqu’il my bat,
hé Dieu, helas.

I shall leave him, because he beats me,
Ah God, alas.
And the dirty and bad-tempered villain
has made up a story about me
that I was gone out to have fun.
I shall leave him, because he beats me,
Ah God, alas. 

In the last two or three months
Ah God, alas.
my husband has kept sentinel,
but he has not shut the gate
through which my friend comes and goes.
I shall leave him, because he beats me,
Ah God, alas.
