A bien grant tort
Language: Old French (Ancien français) 
Our translations:  ENG
A bien grant tort vous mauez en hayne
Moy quay prins par tousiours la peine
A vous servir et complaire 
Dont ne me puis assez fort contenter
Quelle raison a ce faire vous maine.

Modern French version:

C'est bien injustement que vous changez votre
moi qui ai toujours eu le souci amour en haine,
de vous servir et de vous être agréable,
ce dont je ne puis me lasser.
Quelle raison vous pousse à faire ainsi?
