possibly by François Villon (1431 - 1463)

Une fois me dictes ouy
Language: French (Français) 
Une fois me dictes ouy,
En foy de noble et gentil femme ;
Je vous certifie, ma Dame, 
Qu'oncques ne fuz tant resjouy.

Veuillez le donc dire selon
Que vous estes benigne et doulce,
Car ce doulx mot n'est pas si long 
Qu'il vous face mal en la bouche. 

Soyez seure, si j'en jouy,
Que ma lealle et craintive ame 
Gardera trop mieulx que nul ame 
Vostre honneur... Avez-vous ouy ? 
Une fois me dictes ouy.
