possibly by François Villon (1431 - 1463)

Les biens dont vous estes la dame
Language: French (Français) 
Les biens dont vous estes la dame 
Ont mon cueur si tres-fort espris
Qu'il feust mort, s'il n'eust entrepris
De vous aymer plus que nul ame.

Quant à moy, point je ne l'en blasme,
Pource qu'ilz ont de tous le pris 
Les biens dont vous estes la dame.

De ce qu'il fault que je vous ayme, 
Je sçay trop bien que j'ay mespris ;
Mais qui en doit estre repris ? 
Non pas moy. Qui donc ? Sur mon ame,
Les biens dont vous estes la dame.
