Le serviteur hault guerdonné
Language: French (Français) 
Our translations:  ENG
Le serviteur hault guerdonné,
Assouvi et bien fortune,
L'eslite des heureux de France,
Me treuve par la pourveance
D'un tout seul mot bien ordonné.

Il me semble en prime estrenne;
Car apres dueil desordonné
Sui fait par nouvelle alliance
Le serviteur hault guerdonné,
Assouvi et bien fortune,
L'eslite des heureux de France.

J'estoye l'homme habandonné
Et le dolent infortuné,
Alors que vostre bienvouliance
Veult confermer mon esperance,
Quant ce beau nom me fut donné,

Le serviteur hault guerdonné,
Assouvi et bien fortune,
L'eslite des heureux de France,
Me treuve par la pourveance
D'un tout seul mot bien ordonné.
