Superius O tres piteulx de tout espoir fontaine Pere du filz dont suis mere esploree Plaindre me viens a ta court sourveraine De ta puissance et de nature humaine Qui ont souffert telle durte villaine Faire a mon filz, qui tant m'a hounouree. Dont suis de bien et de joye separee Sans que vivant veulle entendre mes plains. A toy, seul Dieu, du forfait me complains Du gref tourment et douloureulx oultrage Que voy souffrir au plus bel des humains Sans nul confort de tout humain lignage. Tenor Omnes amici ejus spreverunt eam Non est qui consoletur eam ex omnibus caris eius
