De nuict, le bien que de jour je pourchasse M’advient en songe ymage du desir Car je sens bien ma maitresse gesir Aupres de moy, nu à nu, face à face. Doux soupirant coup à coup je me lasse Sentant mes flans mignardement saisir Et au doux point je fondz tout en plaisir, Si doucement la folastre m’embrasse Par cet yvoyre et ces roses mon ame En cent douceurs et se pert et se pasme Sur son tetin du mien apprivoysé O que de bien de plaisir de merveille Quand la baisant je me sens rebaisé: Mourant tout las sur la levre vermeille.
