by Guillaume de Machaut (c1300 - 1377)

C’est celle qui par ordonnance
Language: French (Français) 
C'est celle qui par ordenance
De parole et par la puissance
D'Esperit Saint, qui ouvra en ce,
Et par devine pourveance,
Fait au commandement dou Pere,
Conçut vierge, sans violence,
Porta vierge, sans desplaisence,
Enfanta vierge, sans grevence,
Li fil Dieu qui prist no samblance
Pour nous tous geter de misere.

Mais n'i ha point de difference,
Car cil iij font toute une essance,
Une vertus, une substance,
Un pooir, une sapience:
Ci ha trop mervilleus mistere.
Et si n'en fais nulle doubtance,
Car c'est ma foy, c'est ma creance,
C'est ma vie et ma soustenance,
Par celle qui par excellence
Est fille au pere et dou fil mere.
