I.
De trobar ai tot saber                                         
e de chantar votz e gein                                       
tal que ja hom no·m n’essein;                                   
say dir enuig e plaser.                                         
Vers es que·m so d’aitan reconogutz                             
qu’anc no fuy tan esperdutz                                    
que de solatz ajudar no·m saubes,                              
don ren del tot midons laus e merces.                           
 
II.
Car per leis jau a poder                                       
e faz e dic e aprein                                           
tan qu’entrels adreigs covein                                  
e·m faz a donas voler.                                         
Pero no·m val negus dels mieus valgutz                         
mas sol a lui qui m’adutz                                      
aitan d’onor qu’eu aver la poges,                              
car il m’a tot, c’autra no·m deina ges.                        
 
III.
Car si n’ai mon bel parer                                      
vist d’autras, c’una non dein                                  
don trob er onrat mantein,                                     
mas d’aitan m’en desesper                                      
qu’eser no vuil per midons mantengutz,                         
ab que sai fos meinscresutz.                                   
No ges! Per tal qe per leis so cortes                          
e·m platz lur pretz deforas e lur bes.                         
 
IV.
Qui de sa beutat ditz ver,                                     
tan bela dona no·s sein,                                       
e ja Dieus no·m salv ni·m sein,                               
s’ieu anc la pogui veser.                                      
Per zo·m son eu del tot a leis vendutz,                        
qu’estiers no datz ni rendutz,                                 
e si pogues, huymais fera merces                               
c’ab bel semblan a tot mon captal pres.                         
 
V.
Tan sab ma dona valer                                          
c’un’ al sieu laus non atein,                                   
c’antan de bon esdevein                                       
li mandet Deus retener.                                       
Ai, sol amics fos per leis car tengutz                         
e si tam be fos cresutz
