by Guibert Kaukesel (flourished c1230-55)

Fins cuers enamourés
Language: Old French (Ancien français) 
Fins cuers enamourés,
Vivans en esperance,
A [de] deduis assés;
Celui ki a fiance
Ke ja n'aura amie,
Tote joie est faillie.

Espoirs et Loiautés
Et Pensee Jolie
M'afient k'iere amés;
Raisons non, ains m'afie
D'asses doloir et plaindre;
Trop haut aim pour ataindre.

Desirs et volentés
De bien servir, sans faindre,
Et sa tres grans beautés,
Fait ma volenté graindre
D'amer d'amor veraie;
N'ai voloir k'en retraie.

Gens cors bel acesmés,
Plus pres de vous se traie
Pitié, si oubliés
Raison, car trop m'esmaie;
Mais çou me rasouaige
Ke serf boin signouraige.

Cent fois me sui loés
Ke a mon douç damaige
Sui si bien assenés.
Belle, cortoise et saige,
Merci! car miex amee
Ne fu de vous ainc nee.

Jehan Erart, chantés
Mon chant, si vous agree;
Boutillier presentés
Vous est. Si soit loee
Ma cançons; la reprise
Ai a Dragon tramise.
