No relation, but I still welcome the opportunity to translate.  It took
me a while to get around to finding out how to translate this sentence.
But in Brithenig:

Ill Dug' er ffoll i sew dest di'll mab mysculus cogen.

The duke was foolish in his head about the well-muscled kitchen boy.

Still not sure about the order of cogen and mysculus, but this will do
for now.
