Labe 127-28: "Lut, compagnon de ma calamite, / De mes soupirs temoin irreprochable, / De mes ennuis controlleur veritable, / Tu as souvent avec moy lamente: // Et tant le pleur piteus t'a moleste, / Que commencant quelque son delectable, / Tu le rendois tout soudein lamentable, / Feignant le ton que plein avoit chante.
