Les desleaux
Language: Old French (Ancien français) 
Our translations:  ENG
Les desleaux ont la saison
Et des bons nessun ne tient compte
Mais bon droit de trop se mesconte
De souffrir si grant desraison

Je ne scais par quelque achoison
Fortune ainsi hault les seurmonte
    Les desleaux ont la saison
    Et des bons nessun ne tient compte

Nul ne doit parler sans moison
De paour d'avoir reprouche ou honte
Pour ce me tais mais fin de compte
Tout va sans rime et sans raison.

    Les desleaux ont la saison
    Et des bons nessun ne tient compte
    Mais bon droit de trop se mesconte
    De souffrir si grant desraison
