by Guillaume de Machaut (c1300 - 1377)

Pas de tor en thiès païs
Language: French (Français) 
 Pas de tor en thiès païs,
 Qui portez douceur et biauté,
 Blanc et vermeil, com rose ou lis,
 En un escu de loyauté,
 La clarté de vostre bonté
 Resplent plus que la tresmonteinne
 Seur toute creature humeinne.

 Gens corps, cointe, apert et faitis,
 Maintieng plein de toute honnesté,
 Se je vous aim, serf, loe et pris,
 N'est merveilles, qu'en verité
 Vous avez si tout seurmonté
 Que vous estes fleur souvereinne
 Seur toute creature humeinne.

 Si seroie à tous jours garis
 Ne ja mais n'aroie grieté,
 Se vos nobles cuers et gentis,
 Courtois, frans et pleins de pité
 Savoit que d'umble volenté
 Li miens de vous server se peinne
 Seur toute creature humeinne.
