Les tres doulx yeux
Language: French (Français) 
Our translations:  ENG
Les tres doulx yeux du viaire madame
Me font souvent rire et joye mener
Son doulx maintieng et son tres doulx parler
M'ont mis ans feu d'amours droit en la flamme.

Helas, souvent mon pouvre cuer se pasme
Des griefs doulours qui me fault endurer
  Les tres doulx yeux du viaire madame
  Me font souvent rire et joye mener.

Nient mains la vueil servir de corps et d'ame
Car j'espoir quel la belle sans per
En acuns temps me vendra conforter
Par se biaux mos car ils sont doulx que ame.

  Les tres doulx yeux du viaire madame
  Me font souvent rire et joye mener
  Son doulx maintieng et son tres doulx parler
  M'ont mis ans feu d'amours droit en la flamme.
