" "
J’avois un jour un vallet de Gascongne,
Gourmand, yvrogne et asseuré menteur,
Pipeur, larron, jureur, blasphémateur,
Sentant la hart de cent pas à la ronde;
Au demourant, le meilleur filz du monde.

I'd a varlet of Gascony once on a time;
A glutton, a drunkard, an impudent liar,
Cheat, thief, and blasphemer, a cursing spitfire,
Who smelt of the halter at a hundred yards—
But the best chap alive in all other regards.

La maulvaise Fortune
Ne vient jamais, qu'elle n'en apporte une
Ou deux ou trois avecques elle.

Misfortunes never come singly, but in battalions.
