by Charles, Duc d'Orléans (1394 - 1465)

Dedens mon Livre de Pensee
Language: French (Français) 
Dedens mon Livre de Pensee, 
J'ay trouvé escripvant mon cueur 
La vraye histoire de douleur, 
De larmes toute enluminee, 
En deffassant la tresamee 
Ymage de plaisant doulceur, 
Dedens mon Livre de Pensee.

Helas ! ou l'a mon cueur trouvee ? 
Lez grossez gouttez de sueur 
Lui saillent, de peinne et labeur 
Qu'il y prent, et nuit et journee, 
Dedens mon livre de Pensee.

About the headline (FAQ)

Modernized version:
Dedans mon Livre de Pensée, 
J'ai trouvé écrivant mon cœur 
La vraie histoire de douleur, 
De larmes toute enluminée,
En effaçant la très aimée 
Image de plaisant douceur, 
Dedans mon Livre de Pensée !
Hélas ! où l'a mon cœur trouvée ? 
Les grosses gouttes de sueur 
Lui saillent, de peine et labeur 
Qu'il y prend, de nuit et journée, 
Dedans mon Livre de Pensée !
