by François Villon (1431 - 1463)

Rondel
Language: French (Français) 
Tu te brusles à la chandelle !
Helas ! mon cueur, ne vois tu pas
Que danger est tousjours au pas,
Qui fait à tous guerre mortelle ?
Soyes seur que tu l’auras belle
Se tu n’y vas bien par compas ;
Tu te brusles à la chandelle.

Sont-ce chastaignes qu’on y pelle,
A ton advis, pour ton repas ?
Nennil. Retrais toy tout le pas,
Ains qu’on te frape au cul la pelle.
Tu te brusles à la chandelle.
