"Quand je me joue à ma chatte, qui sait si elle passe son temps de moi plus que je ne fais d'elle? Nous nous entretons de singeries réciproques. Si j'ay mon heure de commencer ou de refuser, aussi a elle la sienne. (translation) When I play with my cat, who knows if I am not merely a pastime to her? We entertain each other with reciprocal antics. If I have the option to commence or refuse playing, she also has her own option."
