by Guillaume de Machaut (c1300 - 1377)

Et pour ce di que cil troy
Language: French (Français) 
Et pour ce di que cil troy
De no foy
Te firent droit fondement,
Quant li Fils se mist en toy.
Car j'en voy
Parfait le Vieil Testament
Et fait le Saint Sacrement.
Ce m'aprent
Que la duis de nostre loy
Yes et de no sauvement
Proprement
La fonteinne, ainsi le croy,

Où chascuns boit qui ha soy,
Sans anoy;
Et qui pardurablement
Vuet vivre aveuc le grant roy
Lave soy
En ruissel qui en descent.
C'est ta grace vraiement
Qui se estent
A tous ceus qui en recoy
Pleurent et plaingnent souvent.
Tendrement
De leurs pechiés le desroy.
