by Guillaume de Machaut (c1300 - 1377)

Ces trois un a po de peinne, assez prouver puis
Language: French (Français) 
Ces trois un à po de peinne, 
Assez prouver puis:
Considere une fonteinne,
Le ruissel, la duis ;
Ce sont trois, mais ces trois truis
Tout un, soit petite ou pleinne,
Soit par pintes ou par muis: 
Par tous ces conduis
Est eaue d’un goust certeinne;
Tous seurs un suis.

He! roÿne souvereinne, 
Qui seur toutes luis
Plus cler que la tresmonteinne 
Es obscures nuis,
Aussi l’iaue et li dous fruis
De vie prist char humeinne
Et fourme en tes costes vuis.
S’est bien hors d’annuis
Et de fortune mondeinne 
Cils que tu conduis.

Note: in some editions, "trois" is spelled "iij"
