Je dirai le lai d’Ysabeau, L’hermine précieuse: l'histoire, mon cadeauWhen stunning feast she richly laid; Music, games of all sorts were played,And Ysabeau did make a placeFor all in need, and on her faceNo hint of feelings deeply troubled, Or, by a little anger, ruffled,
Though she had much work yet to do.As the warm festivities grewThey marveled at her, time again,All who saw her, men and women.
Her hospitality drew cheersOne count for each the many yearsFine Ysabeau had spun fine cloth,Always clothing someone else, by troth.
Speaking of, had she on the loomYet one more brocade yet to bloom. So, that night, continued harps and songWere distant as she left the throng,
La baronne went to quiet wood; For there her loom had often stood. She doffed her cloak (the better thenPrepared for work) to weave again.
Soon enough, she heard the crowd, Of beloved neighbors, not loud,Come gather round with drinks, and sitFor they had quickly noticed it:
Her disappearance, not to bed,But to work for their good instead. So Ysabeau worked her brocade,While friends and neighbors nearby laid
On the green in sweet company: Jovial friends, students ‘neath the trees.To love them through her works, and blessThem--it's who she is, and no less.
In glad support, and good service, Of Ysabeau, I do know this: La Dauphine Dorée certaine,béni par nous, le roi et la reine.
