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

Chancon
Language: French (Français) 
Ma seule, plaisant, doulce joye, 
La maistresse de mon vouloir,
J'ay tel desir de vous veoir,
Que mander ne le vous sauroye.
Helas ! pensez que ne pourroye 
Aucun bien, sans vous recevoir.
Ma seule, etc. 
La maistresse, etc. 

Car, quant desplaisir me guerroye
Souventeffoiz, de son povoir,
Et je vueil reconfort avoir,
Esperance vers vous m'envoye.
Ma seule, etc.
