Une mousse de Biscaye
Language: French (Français) 
Une mousse de Biscaye
L'autre jour pres ung moulin,
Vint à moi sans dire gaire,
Moy hurlant sur mon chemin,
Blanche comme un parchemin,
Je la baisé a mon aise ;
El me dist sans faire noise :
« Soau, soau ordonarequin ! »

Je luy dis que de Bisquaye
J'estoys son prochain vosin :
« Mecton nous pres ceste haie
En l'ombre soubz l'aubepin :
La parlerons a butin,
Faictes tout a ma requeste ! »
Lors feist signe de la teste :
« Soau, soau ordonarequin ! »

«Par mon serment, vecy raige !
Ce n'est fran çoys ne latin :
Parlez moy aultre langaige
Et laissez vo bisquaÿn !
Mectons  no besongne a fin,
Parlons d'amours, je vous prie ! »
Lors me dist, n'en doubtez mye :
« Soau, soau ordonarequin ! »

Avoir n'en peuz aultre chose,
Par ma foy, a ce matin,
Fors baisez a bouche close
Et la main sur le tetin :
« A Dieu, petit musequin,
A Dieu soyez, ma popine ! »
Lors me dit la bisquaÿne :
« Soau, soau ordonarequin ! »
