by Olivier Basselin (flourished 15th century)

Le siège de Vire
Language: French (Français) 
Tout à l'entour de nos remparts,
Les ennemis sont en furie :
Sauvez nos tonneaux, je vous prie,
Prenez plus tost de nous soudards,
Tout ce dont vous aurez envie :
Sauvez nos tonneaux, je vous prie !

Nous pourrons après, en beuvant,
Chasser nostre mélancholie : 
Sauvez nos tonneaux, je vous prie !
L'ennemi qui est ci devant,
Ne nous veut faire courtoisie.
Sauvez nos tonneaux, je vous prie !

Au moins, s'il prend nostre cité,
Qu'il n'y trouve plus que la lie :
Vuidons nos tonneaux, je vous prie !
Deussions-nous marcher de costé,
Ce bon sidre, n'espargnons mie :
Vuidons nos tonneaux, je vous prie !
