Lo Testament

The Testament

The queen was ill

the daughter of a French king.

She was visited by

counts, dukes and knights.

Her grandmother came in,

acting very innocently:

- "Daughter of my daughter,

what ails you so?" -

-"Mother of my mother,

you know well what ails me,

you've given me medicine

that God will not forgive you for"-

-"Daughter of my daughter,

what will you leave me with?"-

-"Mother of my mother,

nothing in this palace belongs to me"-

-"I have nine castles in France,

those nine are my own

Two I'll leave to the poor,

to the poor, for my love of God;

and I'll leave three to Carles,

Carles, my brother.

and three I'll leave at the altar

to enlighten God"-

-"Daughter of my daughter,

what will you leave me with?"-

-"Mother of my mother,

you know well what ails me,

-"Daughter of my daughter,

what will you leave me with?"-

-"Mother of my mother,

a rope for you to hang on."-

The grandmother of the queen (the daughter of a French king) has poisoned her, and asks very innocently what her granddaughter will leave her once she is dead (after counts, dukes and knights come to see her). The queen tells her that her inheritance is her own, and that she would rather split it between the poor, her brother and the church. The grandmother persistently asks "What will you give me?" and what she answers in the end is that her gift to her is a rope to go and hang herself for poisoning her.
