by Jean Froissart (c1337 - c1410)

De quoi que soit se doit renouveler
Language: Middle French 
De quoi que soit se doit renouveler 
Uns jolis coers le premier jour de may, 
Voires s'il aime ou s'il pense à amer 
De quoi que soit, etc.
Pour ce vous voeil, ma dame, emmayoler,
En lieu de may d'un loyal coer que j'ai. 
De quoi que soit, etc.
