Helas! pour quoy se demente et complaint

Helas! pour quoy se demente et complaint
Mon cuer dolent de sa dure dolour?

Quant ma dame ne puet oïr son plaint, -
Helas! pour quoy se demente et complaint -

Ne riens aidier ne li puet, s'il se plaint,
Puis qu'Amours n'a de li nulle tenrour.
Helas! pour quoy se demente et complaint
Mon cuer dolent de sa dure dolour?

by Guillaume de Machaut (c1300-1377)
