            <text>Venez brave bourgeois&#13;
d'Estaire &amp; de Merville&#13;
pour la derniere fois&#13;
Venez femmes &amp; filles&#13;
voir Pierre Antoine mourir&#13;
S'en vont ses jours finir&#13;
Pour n'avoir su bien vivre&#13;
Entre vous paysans&#13;
Qui demeurez au champs&#13;
Gardez bien de le suivre. &#13;
&#13;
Il estoit bon Censier&#13;
Prés de la Ville d'Estaire&#13;
Connus dans ces quartier&#13;
Faisant bien ses affaires&#13;
Il pouvoit dans ce lieu&#13;
vivre en homme heureux&#13;
S'il eust esté sage&#13;
Il ne serois point ainsi&#13;
En peine &amp; en soucis&#13;
Par son mechant courage&#13;
&#13;
Par ma vie debordée&#13;
&amp; mon libertinage&#13;
je me mis à voler&#13;
Pres d'un petit Bocage&#13;
Depouillant les passans&#13;
En prenant leur argent&#13;
Du soir à la brunette&#13;
Enfin nuls estrangers&#13;
N'osoient plus la passer&#13;
En craignant leur defaite&#13;
&#13;
Un jour l'esprit malin&#13;
Luy mit dedans la teste&#13;
de prendre un sac de grain&#13;
A un Batelier honneste&#13;
Et hors de son Batteau&#13;
Qui estoit dessus l'eau &#13;
Il luy cria arrette&#13;
Mais l'entendant crier&#13;
A tué ce Battelier&#13;
Comme une pauvre Bette&#13;
