Invitation to a Birthday Party

Eustache Deschamps (1346-1406), "Invitation à son jubilé de cinquantaine," Oeuvres complètes, Vol. IV (Paris: Firmin Didot, 1884), p. 116 (my translation):
Come to my jubilee:
I've passed the fifty-year mark.

All my good time has gone away:
Come to my jubilee.

My body's a total wreck.        5
Farewell! Remember me!
Come to my jubilee:
I've passed the fifty-year mark.


Venez a mon jubilé:
J'ay passé la cinquantaine.

Tout mon bon temps est alé:
Venez a mon jubilé.

Mon corps est tout affolé.        5
Adieu! de moy vous souviengne!
Venez a mon jubilé:
J'ay passé la cinquantaine.
Id., vol. X (1901), p. 4, s.v. Afoler, cites this poem for the meaning endommager.
