by Guillaume de Machaut (c1300 - 1377)

Mais de tel confort
Language: French (Français) 
Mais de tel confort
Com de plourer fort
Petit me confort,
Vierge, se ne me fais fort
Qu'apaiseras l'ire
De ton Fil, que au fort
Homs n'a si grant tort
Qui n'en soit ressort,
Quar à toy vie ne mort
Ne scet escondire.

Las! or sui au port
De tout desconfort,
Quant mes maus recort;
Et si fort me desconfort
Que ne le puis dire,
Car pechiés me mort;
Anemis ne dort,
Eins fait son effort
Qu'en livre de mort, moy mort,
Me puist faire escrire.
