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

La véez‑vous là la lyme sourde
Language: French (Français) 
La véez-vous là la lyme sourde
Qui pense plus qu'elle ne dit ?
Souventesfoiz s'esbat et rit
A planter une gente bourde.

Contrefaisant la coquelourde 
Soubz ung malicieux abit :
La véez-vous là la lyme sourde
Qui pense plus qu'elle ne dit ?

Quelque part que malice sourde,
Tost congnoist s'il y a prouffit :
Benoist en soit le Saint-Esperit 
Qui de si finete me hourde, 
La véez-vous là la lyme sourde ?
