by Guillaume de Machaut (c1300 - 1377)

De la duis le Pere nomme
Language: Old French (Ancien français) 
Choose for Diff
De la dus le Pere nomme,
De la fonteinne le Fil
Qui vient dou Pere et fu homme,
Dou ruissel cler et gentil
Saint Esperit; c'est la somme.
Dou Pere et dou Fil vien il.
Ces vj song iij, qui bien somme
A entendement soutil.

Mais miex vorroit estre à Romme
Outre mer en essil
Ou getés dedens la Somme,
En flun Jourdain ou en Nil
Que croire riens que predomme
Ne puist croire sans peril;
Car tout vaut il une pomme
Sans Dieu? je di que nennil.
