by Charles, Duc d'Orléans (1394 - 1465)

Pour ce que Plaisance est morte
Language: French (Français) 
Our translations:  ENG
Pour ce que Plaisance est morte
Ce may, suis vestu de noir;
C'est grand pitié de véoir
Mon coeur qui s'en désconforte.

Je m'abille de la sorte
Que doy, pour faire devoir,
Pour ce que Plaisance est morte,
Ce may, suis vestu de noir.

Le temps ces nouvelles porte
Qui ne veut déduit avoir;
Mais par force du plouvoir
Fuit des champs clore la porte,
Pour ce que Plaisance est morte.
