Je ne vis onques la pareille
De vous, ma gracieuse dame
Car vo beaulte est, par mon ame,
Sus toutes aultres nonpareille.

En vous voiant je m'esmerveille
Et dis qu'est ceci nostre dame?
Je ne vis onques la pareille
De vous, ma gracieuse dame

Vostre tres grant doulceur resveille
Mon esprit, et mon oeil entame
Mon cuer, dont dire puis sans blame,
Puisqu'a vous server m'apareille

Je ne vis onques la pareille
De vous, ma gracieuse dame
Car vo beaulte est, par mo name,
Sus toutes aultres nonpareille.
