Ce n'est pas jeu 
Language: Old French (Ancien français) 
Our translations:  ENG
Ce n'est pas jeu desloignmer ce qu'on ame
Mais c'est ennuy impossible de dire
Acompaigné de dueil de soucy d'ire
Et de regretz que l'on ne dit à ame

La plus de temps je semble ung corps sans ame
Hors de povoir d'acorder ou de dire
    Ce n'est pas jeu desloignmer ce qu'on ame
    Mais c'est ennuy impossible de dire

En vostre amour a toute heure me pasme
Par souvenir que me puis contredire
Qui au retour ne cesse ne redire
Se tu t'en sens croy qu'aussi fait ta dame

    Ce n'est pas jeu desloignmer ce qu'on ame
    Mais c'est ennuy impossible de dire
    Acompaigné de dueil de soucy d'ire
    Et de regretz que l'on ne dit à ame.
