Language: French (Français)
Our translations: ENG
Dedans Paris, ville jolie Un jour, passant mélancolie, Je pris alliance nouvelle A la plus gaie demoiselle Qui soit d'ici en Italie. D'honnêteté elle fut saisie, Et crois _ selon ma fantaisie _ Qu'il n'en est guère de plus belle Dedans Paris. Je ne vous la nommerai mie, Sinon que c'est ma grande amie, Car l'alliance se fit telle, Par un doux baiser que j'eus d'elle Sans penser aucune infamie Dedans Paris.
