A ce jour de saint Valentin
Language: French (Français)
A ce jour de saint Valentin Qu’il me convient choisir ung per, Et que je n’y puis esohapper, Pensée prens pour mon butin. Elle m’a resveillé matin, En venant à mon huis frapper, A ce jour de saint Valentin Qu’il me convient choisir ung per. Ensemble nous arons hutin, S’elle veult trop mon cueur happer ; Mais, s’Espoir je pense atrapper, Je parlasse d’autre latin, A ce jour de saint Valentin.
