by Guillaume de Machaut (c1300 - 1377)

Et qui de ceste eaue prendroit
Language: French (Français) 
Et qui de ceste eaue prendroit
Et la mettroit par un temps froit
En un vaissel, elle prendroit
Et jaleroit si qu’on feroit
De la glace une ymage;
Mais ja son goust n’en perderoit
Ne mueroit, qu’adès seroit
Eaue et nature d’eaue aroit.
Chascuns le voit et aperçoit
Par le temps yvernage.

L’iaue de vie einsi venoit
Et descendoit en tes flans droit,
Que Sains Esperis amenoit
Et conduisoit, dont it formoit
Le bel, le bon, le sage,
Qui Fils de Dieu le Pere estoir,
Qui consentoit et qui voloit
Que fourme et char humeinne aroit
Et qu’il morroit et getteroit
D’enfer l’umein lignage.
