Chétive créature humaine
Language: French (Français)
Chetive creature humaine, Née a travail et a paine, De fraelle corps revestue, Tant es faible et tant es vaine, Tendre, passible, incertaine, Et de legier abbatue ! Ton penser te devertue, Ton fol sens te nuit et tue, Et a nonscavoir te maine. Tant es de povre venue Que tu ne peux vivre saine, Se des cieux n'es soustenue.''
