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

A qui vendez vous vos coquilles
Language: French (Français) 
A qui vendez vous vos coquilles 
Entre vous, amans pelerins ? 
Vous cuidez bien, par voz engins, 
A tous pertuis trouver chevilles. 

Sont ce coups d'esteufs, ou de billes 
Que ferez tesmoing voz voisins ?
A qui vendez vous voz coquilles 
Entre vous, amans pelerins ? 

On congnoist tous voz tours d'estrilles 
Et bien clerement voz latins ;
Trotez, reprenez voz patins,
Et troussez voz sacs et voz quilles ;
A qui vendez vous voz coquilles !
