Josquin des Préz (1450/55-1521)

De tous biens plaine

De tous biens plaine est ma maistresse
Chascun lui doit tribut d'onneur;
Car assouvye est en valeur
Autant que jamais fut deesse.

Meine Geliebte besitzt jede Tugend.
Jeder zollt ihrer Huldigung,
denn sie ist so wertvoll
wie jede Göttin es jemals war.

My mistress possesses every virtue.
Everybody pays her homage,
for she is as full of worth
as ever any goddess was.
