I | Pus Raimons e Truc Malecx
chapten n’Enan e sos decx, e ieu serai vielhs e senecx ans que m’acort in aital precx don puesca venir tan grans pecx : al cornar l’agra mestiers becx ab que traisses del corn lo grecx ; e pueis pogra leu venir secx que’l fums es fortz qu’ieis d’inz des plecx. |
II | Ben l’agr’ops que fos becutz
e’l becx fos loncx e agutz, que’l corns es fers, laitz e pelutz e prions dinz en la palutz, e anc nul jorn no estai essutz, per que rellent en sus lo glutz c’ades per si cor ne redutz : e no taing que mais sia drutz cel que sa boc’al corn condutz. |
III | Pro’i agra d’azaus assais,
de plus bels que valgron mais ; e si en Bernatz s’en estrais, per Crist, anc no’i fes que savais, car l’en pres paors et esglais : que si’l vengues d’amon lo rais, si l’escaldera’l col e’l cais ; e no’s cove que dona bais aquel que cornes corn putnais. |
IV | Bernatz, ges eu no m’acort
al dig Raimon de Durfort qe vos anc mais n’aguessetz tort, que si cornavatz per deport ben si trobavatz fort contrafort, e la pudors agra’us tot mort, que peitz ol no fa fems en ort : e vos, qui que’us en desconort, lauzatz en Dieu que’us n’a estort ! |
V | Ben es estortz de perilh
que retrag for’a son filh e a totz aicels de Cornilh ; mielz li vengra fos en eisilh que la cornes el enfonilh entre l’esquin e’l pencenilh per on se legon li rovilh ; ja no saubra tant de gandilh no’l compisses lo groing e’l cilh. |
VI | Bernatz de Cornes no s’estrilh
al corn cornar ses gran dozilh ab que’l trauc tap el penchenilh : pueis poira cornar ses perilh. |

I | Though Raimon and Truc Malec
defend Ena and her rights, still, I’ll be old and decrepit before I agree with such pleads, from which such a fault may come : to horn, he’d have a beak with which to get out of the horn ; and he could easily get blind, since the smoke is thick that comes from the rims. |
II | He should well have a beak
and the beak should be long and sharp, since the horn is dire, mean and hairy and deep into the marsh, and never it stays dry, so that it reeks of rot what from its core flows and hardens : and he’s not fit to be a lover the one that leads his mouth to the horn. |
III | There’d be many other evidences,
better, and more fitting ; and if Bernat fled from it, by Christ, he did but a wise thing, because fear and loathing took him : and if the jet had come from above, it’d have scalded neck and jaw ; and he’s not fit to gift with kisses the one that horns a stinking horn. |
IV | Bernat, I don’t agree
with Raimon of Durfort, that you had been wrong : if you’d horned for a sport dearly you’d have paid for it, and the smell would have soon killed you, since it’s worst than dung on a field : and, whoever blames you, praise God that spared you ! |
V | Well he’s been took out of a danger
that’d have shamed his son and all those of Cornilh ; he had better been exiled than to horn the funnel, between the back and the groin where the rusts melt ; where, good as he might have been in withdrawing, he’d have had his brow and snout flooded. |
VI | Bernat of Cornes don’t strive
to horn the horn without a big plug with which to stopper the hole in the groin : then, he’ll be able to horn without danger. |
