Sy celle la qui oncques ne fut myenne
Language: French (Français) 
Sy celle la qui oncques ne fut myenne
Avoit regret de ne me veoir plus sien
J'estimeroys ma prison en tienne
Bien raisonnable et heureux le lien.
Mais elle m'a voulu tant peu de bien
Que celle a dueil croyez certeinement
Que ce n'est point pour veoir l'eslongnement
D'une personne a elle tant offerte
Mais pour me veoir eslongner de tourment
Plaignant mon gaing assez plus que sa perte.
