by Clément Marot (1496 - 1544)

J'ay contenté
Language: French (Français) 
J'ay contenté
Ma voulenté
Suffisamment,
Car j'ay esté
D'amours traicté
Differemment.
J'ay eu tourment,
Bon traictement,
J'ay eu doulceur, et cruaulté:
Et ne me plainds fors seulement
D'avoir aymé si loyaulment
Celle, qui est sans loyaulté.

Cueur affeté
Moins arresté
Qu'ung seul moment,
Ta lascheté
M'a dejecté
Fascheusement.
Prend hardiment
Amandement.
Et vous Dames de grand beaulté
Si l'honneur aymez cherement,
Vous n'ensuyvrez aulcunement
Celle, qui est sans loyaulté.
