    • Life of St. Gilles, Guillaume de Berneville
      Cele part unt le lof turné
      A l'ysle vunt sigle levé,
      Trovent le port durement bel.
      En la mer lancent lur batel;
      Mult par agreient ben lur nef:
      Funt un tialz desus le tref,
      E puis s'en issent el graver
      Pur lur funain appariller
