Poems

This book is a selection from the work of a mid-fifteenth-century French poet known for his wild and unconventional lifestyle.
His verses are divided into several thematic areas – he writes humorous testaments, reflects extensively on death and turns his thoughts into contemplations on dying, with another section containing poems aimed at his detractors, while at other times he describes the transience of love, beauty, or fame. In his verses, he often flaunts his physical and spiritual imperfections.
The arrangement of this selection is an attempt to achieve at least an approximate chronology based on the available facts from the poet's life.
