TextEn la saison que toute riens s'enclinede resjouir apres le tems d'iver. en un jardin aloye a le serine a part ouquel trouvay un olivier. Dessus avoyt un noir aigle posant. Quant l'aperchu, vi une grant merveille. car a deus becs soustenoit en estant un escu blanch a la barre vermeille. Cis oliviers tenoit de sa rachine une pierre - ne l'en puet nus sachier - laquelle avoyt la coulor cristalline. Tant blanche estoyt que me fist merveyller. que l'olivier estoyt senefiant celui qu'amours si doucement treveille. qui en armes, con l'aigle, va portant un escu blanch a [la barre vermeille.] EmprFs [je] di que la pierre desine une dame et que molt fait apreyer de sens, d'onnor et, pour ce, d'amour fine l'ame rachine portee au vergier. Ensi vous ay declarT de l'amant et de la flour sur toutes non pareille. liqual porte avec l'aigle volant un escu blanch [a la barre vermeille]. TranslationIn the season when everything submitsto rejoicing after winter time. in a garden I went at evening time. There I found an olive tree. Above, there was a black eagle, resting. When I saw it, I saw a great marvel. for in its beak, motionless, it held a white shield with crimson bar. This olive tree held in its root a stone - none could know of it - which had a crystalline colour. So white was it that I was astonished. for the olive tree signified he who Love torments so sweetly. who in arms, like the eagle, bears a white shield with crimson bar. Afterwards I say that the stone stands for a lady, and that it is greatly inflamed by good sense and honour, and, for this reason. the soul of the root in the orchard dies of love. Thus I have explained to you the story of the lover and the flower, above all without peer. who bears, with the flying eagle. a white shield with crimson bar.
