I.
Quar etz de pretz al sim                                       
en la plus alta cima,                                          
e de valor al prim                                             
que part las valens prima;                                    
abdos son senes crim                                          
que Beutatz vos escrima;                                     
vas vos mon cor aym                                           
que ren tan non s’ayma,                                        
que tan vos dezir prim,                                        
prima men, que m’aprima;                                        
no faria hom tan prim                                           
fil prim ab prima lima.

E mon cor port la lima                                         
ab que mos cars motz lim,                                      
e·ls fatz en cara rima                                         
quar de car loc los rim;

que sus del cor lagrim,                                         
que midons no m’estima                                        
et ieu, las, la estim,                                         
que mos mals no s’ayma                                         
et ieu sos bes aym;                                            
e retrac sus en yma                                            
e no vuelh dire ym.

Li entendedor vil,

e qu’ieu trop vuelh dir d’il                                    
e de prima e d’ila;                                            
mas tan fermat m’apil                                           
on ferms sabers s’apila,                                        
que non tem dezapil                                             
que·ls nescis dezapila,

on ferms sabers s’afila.

Mas afilat s’afila                                             
el dezafilat fil,

mos bos digz non esvila                                         
ni eu non los dic en vil;                                      
e quar tan gen gentila

mos bos motz non esquila                                        
per lieys don muer ses quil;                                  
e quar gen senhorila                                           
tenc car son senhoril.
