Robin par bois et compagnes,
Par bocages et montagnes,
Suyvant naguère un taureau
Esgaré de son troupeau,
D'un roc élevé regarde;
Voit une biche fuiarde,
D'un dard la fait trébucher,
Trouve en l'antre d'un rocher
Les petits fauveaux il donne
A Jannette sa mignonne.

Puis fit à ses compagnons
Un banquet d'aux et d'oignois;
Faissant courir par le troupe
D'un vin d'Anjou mainte coupe.
Quant au reste, O Dieu cornu,
O croc de ce pin congneu
Pour ton offrande rapporte
La peau de la biche morte.
