Christine de Pisan: Priez, dames et damoiselles

pisanchristine 09

Christine de Pisan

(ca. 1364-1430)

Priez, dames et damoiselles

 

Priez, dames et damoiselles,

Pour les bons chevaliers vaillans

Qui, pour soustenir voz querelles,

Mettent leurs corps et leurs vaillans:

Que ja Dieu ne leur soit faillans,

Ains leur doint honneur et victoire

Encontre tous leur assaillans,

Si qu’a tousjours en soit memoire.

 

Qui l’escu vert aux dames belles

Portent sanz estre deffaillans,

Pour demonstrer que l’onneur d’elles

Veulent, aux espées taillans,

Garder contre leur mauvueillans.

Si devez prier Dieu de gloire

Que priz et loz soient cueillans,

Si qu’a tousjours en soit memoire.

 

Du bon Torsay bonnes nouvelles

Avons, com preux et traveillans

Les armes Obissecourt, celles

Facent joye a ses bienvueillans;

Castelbayart qui est veillans

A poursuivre armes, chose est voire,

A honneur en soit hors saillans,

Si qu’a tousjours en soit memoire.

 

Or priez Dieu a yeulx moillans,

Qu’on die d’eulx si bonne hystoire,

Que chascun en soit merveillans,

Si qu’a tousjours en soit memoire.
