Un doulx Nenny avec un doulx soubzrire

Un doulx Nenny avec un doulx soubzrire
Est tant honneste, il le vous fault apprendre
Quant est d’Ouy, si veniez à le dire,
D’avoir trop dict je vouldroys vous reprendre;
Non que je soys ennuyé d’entreprendre
D’avoir le fruict dont le desir me poinct;
Mais je vouldroys qu’en le me laissant prendre
Vous me disiez: ‘Non, vous ne l’aurez point.’
