Une pastourelle gentille, 
Et ung Bergier en ung Verger 
L'autrhyer jouant à la Bille 
S'entredisoient pour abreger,
Roger 
Bergier, 
Legere 
Bergiere, 
C'est trop à la Bille joué.
Chantons Noé, Noé, Noé.

Te souvient il plus du Prophete
Qui nous dist cas de si hault faict, 
Que d'une Pucelle parfaicte 
Naistroit ung Enfant tout parfaict?
L'effect
Est faict;
La belle
Pucelle
A eu un Filz au Ciel voué,
Chantons Noé, Noé, Noé.
