Comment puet on miex ses maus dire
A dame qui congnoit honnour
Et c'on l'aimme de vraie amour,

Quant amans ressoingne escondire
Et s'a de son courrous paour?
  Comment puet on miex ses maus dire
  A dame qui congnoist honnour?

Celle voit qu'il tramble et souspire
Et mue maniere et coulour
Et qu'il soit mus et plains de plour,
  Comment puet on miex ses maus dire
  A dame qui congnoist honnour
  Et qu'on l'aimme de vraie amour?
