Et musique est une science
Qui veut qu'on rie et chante et dance.
Cure n'a de merencolie,
Ne d'homme qui merencolie
A chose qui ne puet valoir,
Eins met tels gens en nonchaloir.

Les desconfortez reconforte,
Et nes seulement de l'oir
Fait elle les gens resjoir.

Writing is sort of a game or puzzle to me — playing with words and concepts to present something new to listeners.
