En esperant
Language: French (Français) 
En esperant, que de vous ames soye,
Dame que j’aim plus qu’aultre qui soit nee, Vous
ai m’amour entierement donee,
Car de vous vient ma souvereinne joye.
Mieux assenes estre je ne porroie;
Pour ce vous estes toudis en ma pensee,
En esperant, que de vous ames soye,
Dame que j’aim plus qu’aultre qui soit nee.
Vo douz redart si m’a mis en la voie
D’estre amoureus, si que sans desevree,
De moy seres servie et honouree
Tot mon vivant, quoy qu’avenir m’en doie.
En esperant, que de vous ames soye,
Dame que j’aim plus qu’aultre qui soit nee, Vous
ai m’amour entierement donee,
Car de vous vient ma souvereinne joye.
