by Charles, Duc d'Orléans (1394 - 1465)

De legier pleure à qui la lippe pent
Language: French (Français) 
De legier pleure à qui la lippe pent ;
Ne demandez jamais comment lui va, 
Laissez l'en paix, il se confortera, 
Ou en son fait mettra appointtement. 

A son umbre se combattra souvent, 
Et puis son frein rungier lui conviendra. 
De legier pleure à qui la lippe pent ;
Ne demandez jamais comment lui va.

S'on parle à lui, il en est mal content ; 
Cheminée, au derrain, trouvera 
Par où passer sa fumée pourra ; 
Ainsi avint le plus communement ;
De legier pleure à qui la lippe pent.
