Guillaume Morlaye - Il estoit une fillette - Renaissance Guitar

Famous song by Janequin, intabulated by Morlaye.
Renaissance Guitar made by Stephen Murphy.
Words : l estoit une fillette Qui vouloit scavoir le jeu d'amours, Ung jour qu'elle estoit seullette Je luy en aprins deux ou trois tours, Apres avoir senty le goust Elle me dit en soubzriant "Le premier coup me semble lour Mais la fin me semble friant" Je luy dis "vous me tentez" El me dit "recommencez" Je l'empoingne Je la fringue fort. Elle crie "necessez" Je luy dis "vous me gastez Laissez moy, petite garse, vous avez grant tort.

Mais quant ce vint a sentir le doulx point
Vous l'es_ussiez veu mouvoir si doulcement
Que son las cueur luy Tremble fort et poingt
Mais, Dieu mercy, c'estoit ung doulx tourment,.

Translation :
There was a young girl who would know of the game of love. One day when she was alone I taught her a trick or two. After a taster she said to me, smiling, "It's tough at the start, but the end seems pleasant to me" I said to her "You tempt me!", she said "Begin again", I grasp her, embrace her and frisk her briskly. She cries "Don't stop", I say "I'm wrecked. Leave me alone little one, you are doing wrong". But when it came to the point, you should have seen her move so gently that her heart trembled and pained her but, thank God, it was a sweet torment.

Hate to be a bother about this but what is the Renaissance guitar tuned to? Could I play it's music on the mandolin? I just watched a few of these videos and I really like the sound, well played!
