“I am dying of thirst by the side of the fountain.”
Charles D'Orleans

“Le temps a laissié son manteau
De vent, de froidure et de pluye,
Et s'est vestu de brouderie,
De soleil luyant, cler et beau.

    Il n'y a beste, ne oyseau,
Qu'en son jargon ne chante ou crie :
Le temps a laissié son manteau !

    Riviere, fontaine et ruisseau
Portent, en livree jolie,
Gouttes d'argent, d'orfaverie,
Chascun s'abille de nouveau :
Le temps a laissié son manteau !”
Charles d'Orléans

“Yver, vous n'estes qu'un villain,
Esté est plaisant et gentil,
En tesmoing de May et d'Avril
Qui l'acompaignent soir et main.

Esté revest champs, bois et fleurs,
De sa livrée de verdure
Et de maintes autres couleurs,
Par l'ordonnance de Nature.

Mais vous, Yver, trop estes plain
De nege, vent pluye et grezil;
On vous deust banie en essil.
Sans point flater, je parle plain,
Yver, vous n'estes qu'un villain ! ”
Charles d'Orléans
