by Charles, Duc d'Orléans (1394 - 1465)

Comment se peut‑il faire ainsi
Language: French (Français) 
Comment se peut-il faire ainsi, 
En une seule créature 
Que tant ait de biens de nature, 
Dont chascun en est esbahy ? 

Oncques tel chief-d'euvre ne vy 
Mieulx acomply oultre mesure ;
Comment se peut-il faire ainsi
En une seule créature ? 

Mes yeulx cuiday qu'eussent manty
Quant apportèrent sa figure 
Devers mon cueur en pourtraiture :
Mais vray fut, et plus que ne dy ;
Comment se peut-il faire ainsi ?
