About
Amis lecteurs, qui ce blog lisez,
Despouillez-vous de toute affection,
Et, le lisant, ne vous scandalisez :
Il ne contient mal ni infection.
Vray est qu’icy peu de perfection
Vous apprendrez, sinon en cas de rire ;
Autre argument ne peut mon coeur eslire,
Voyant le deuil qui vous mine et consomme:
Mieux est de ris que de larme escrire,
Pour ce que rire est le propre de l’homme.
With thanks (and also just to show off that I once used to be able to read medieval French fairly easily!)
