Je, Christine, qui ay plouré 
Unze ans en abbaye close
Où j'ay toujours puis demeuré 
Que Charles (c'est estrange chose !), 
Le filz du roy, se dire l'ose, 
S'en fouy de Paris, de tire,
Par la traïson là enclose :
Ore à prime me prens à rire. 

2
A rire bonement de joie
Me prens pour le temps, por vernage 
Qui se départ, où je souloie
Me tenir tristement en cage 
Mais or changeray mon langage 
De pleur en chant, quant recouvré 
Ay bon temps...
Bien me part avoir enduré.
