Excerpt from Le Roman de la Rose, Vol. 3
Par lequel prennent le château Ceux qui l'avoir ont grand et beau.
Pensant à la Rose nouvelle, Près d'une claire fontenelle, En un délicieux pourpris, Dame honorable et belle vis, Gente de corps, belle de forme Prendre le frais dessous un orme. Seyait près d'elle son ami; Ne sais le nom de celui-ci, Mais la dame avait nom Richesse Qui moult était de grand' noblesse Et d'un sentier le seuil gardait, Mais toutefois dedans n'était. Vers eux céans je m'évertue Et tête basse les salue. Ils m'ont assez tôt mon salut Rendu c'est tout ce qui m'êchut. Car me répondit la première Richesse, par parole fière.
