Language: French (Français)
Yver, vous n'estes qu'un vilain; Esté est plaisant et gentil En témoing de may et d'avril Qui l'accompaignent soir et main. Esté revet champs, bois et fleurs De sa livrée de verdure Et de maintes autres couleurs Par l'ordonnance de nature. Mais vous, Yver, trop estes plein De nège, vent, pluye et grézil. On vous deust banir en éxil. Sans point flater je parle plein, Yver, vous n'estes qu'un vilain.
