Translation
As this bird moves hither and thither (aimlessly), so, O righteous administrator, whenever you wish to talk, please do not speak to us in that manner. (1)
Note
(The virgin makes reply to the priest :) this your little bird (male organ) moves as if attempting to speak. It looks just like your open mouth. Please shut up and talk not to us.
