S'ensuit l'art et science de rhetorique pour congnoistre tous les termes / formes et patrons / exemples / couleurs et figures de dictiers tailles modernes qui maintenant sont en usage. C'est assavoir / comme lignes doublettes / vers sizains / vers septains / vers huitains / vers alexandrains / rigme batelee / rigme brisee / rigme enchainee / rigme a double queue / rigme en forme de complainte amoureuse / rondeaulx simplex de une / de deux / de trois de .iiii. et de cinq sillabes / rondeaulx jumeaulx et rondeaulx doubles / simples virlais / doubles virlais et responce / fatras simples et fatras doubles / ballades communes / ballades balladante / ballade fatrisee / simple lay / lay renforcé / champt royal / servantois / ricquerac & baguenaude. De laquelle rhethorique ensuivent les exemples.

Exemple

Rhethorique vulgaire est une espece de musique appellee regna musique laquelle contient certain nombre de sillabes avecques aucune suavité en forme de doulceur et de equisonance. Et ne se peut sans diction / ne diction sans sillabe ne sillabe sans lettre. La lettre est sillabe qui ne se peut diviser / comme A B C d E &c. desquelles lettres les unes sont voielles et les autres consonantes. Les voielles sont A E I O V. La sillabe est une assemblee de lettres soubz ung seul accent indistamment proferee / comme Ar Bar Bal &c. Et la diction est celle qui contient une ou plusieurs sillabes / comme Art Artus / Balam &c. Et ja soit ce que toutes dictions latines aient parfaitz sons: tousjours en langaige rommant qui l'ensuit ce qu'il peut sont trouvees aucunes dictions ou sillabes imparfaictes. C'est a dire qu'ilz n'ont point parfaicte resonance. Lesquels aucuns nomment femenines dictions et les parfaictes masculines. Les masculines ont parfaictes dictions & sont / c'est assavoir comme dormir Aimer / Chanter et Aller. Et les feminines ont dictions imparfaictes / c'est assavoir comme donnent / chantent / aiment et allent. Et est assavoir que toutes dictions imparfaictes et de singulier nombre finent par imparfection et faintement consonant. C'est assavoir / comme vierge mere dame royne. Et le plus elles se finent en .t. ou en .s. comme / rent et comme pucelles gentes.

Item toutes et quanteffois que la sillabe imparfaicte finissant en .E rencontre en mettre une desdictes voielles aiant vray son de voielles ladicte sillabe se boute avecques ladicte voielle et ne font ensemble que une sillabe / comme se on disoit. Ma dame aime ung autre que moy. Ceste sillabe me qui est la moitié de dame s'en treboute avecques ceste autre sillabe da / qui aussi est la moitié de dame. Et le residu de aime qui est me sillabe imparfaicte se compte avecques ceste diction ung et n'est compté le dessusdit mettre que pour huit sillabes. Et est assavoir que tous mettres dont la derreniere sillabe est imparfaicte de quelque quantité qu'il soit excede le mettre parfait d'une sillabe.

Comme par cest exemple

Autre taille de rigme qui se nomme doublette la plus facile & commune que l'on puist faire: Et se peut faire en toutes quantités de sillabes et le plus souvent en huit ou en neuf sillabes. De ceste maniere de rigme est composé le rommant de la rose. Et plusieurs histoires et farces en sont composees.

Exemple

Autre taille de vers sisains qui se font en moralitez et jeus de personnages en responce ou redargutions. Et sont communement de trois lignes / de quatre lignes et de sept lignes et composees de six sillabes.

Exemple

Autres vers septains de huit sillabes et de sept lignes sont trouvez en plusieurs euvres dont la derreniere ligne chet en commun proverbe.

Exemple

De ceste taille brisee septaine descend une autre mode de vers brisez laquelle est reduicte ad ce mesmes. Et n'ont les lignes des parfaictes sillabes que trois sillabes en ligne pour ce que la tierce est prononcee en double tierce contre l'imparfaicte. Ceste espece de rigme fut mise avant au jeu de rendre compte et reliqua.

Exemple

Autre taille de vers huitains appellez vers françois sont assez communs en plusieurs livres et traictiez comme en la belle dame sans mercy / l'ospital d'amours et le champion des dames. Desquelz la croisure des mettres ensemble la quantité des sillabes est notoire par cest exemple.

Exemple

Doubles rondeaulx se font par lignes doublettes avecques quelque une sengle qui se consone avecques l'une des autres. Et ceste maniere de rondeler sert aux chansons de musique comme le serviteur et autres de cinq lignes.

Exemple

Autre taille de rondeaulx doubles qui se nomment simples virlais pour ce que gens lais les mettent en leurs chançons rurales comme gente de corps et se font en ceste maniere

Exemple

Doubles virlais se font comme le premier couplet dessusdit. Et puis ung autre vert sisain ou croisé de differente termination au premier.

Exemple

Respons en taille palernode est une espece de rhetorique en maniere de champt eclesiastique ou plusieurs nombres se rejectent ou corps principal

Exemple

Autre espece de rhetorique nommee fatras Et sont convenables en matiere joieuse pour la repetition des mettres qui sont de sept et de huit / desquelz les ungs sont simples & n'ont que ung seul couplet. Les autres sont doubles et ont deux couplets et pareille substance et termination. Mais la premiere ligne du premier couplet sera seconde au second couplet

Exemple

Balade commune doit avoir refrain et trois couplets et renvoy de prince. Le refrain est la derreniere ligne des dessusdis couplets et du renvoy de prince duquel refrain se tire toute la substance de la balade ainsi que la saiette au signe de bersial. Et doit chascun couplet par rigueur d'examen avoir autant de lignes que le refrain contient de sillabes. Si le refrain a huit sillabes et la derreniere est parfaicte. La balade doit tenir forme de vers huitains. Se le refrain a neuf sillabes les couplets seront de neuf lignes dont les quatre premieres se croisent La cinquieme / la sixieme / la huitieme sont de pareilles terminations differentes aux premieres. Et la septieme ligne / la neufvieme pareilles et distinguees a toutes autres. Si le refrain a dix sillabes les couplets de la balade seront de dix lignes. dont les quatre premieres se croisent: La cinquieme pareille a la quatrieme / la sixieme / la septieme et la neufvieme de pareille termination. La huitieme et la dixieme egalles en consonances. Se le refrain a six sillabes les couplets auront unze lignes / les quatre premieres se croisent / la cinquieme et la sixieme pareilles en rime. La septieme / huitieme et dixieme egales en consonance. La neufvieme et unzieme de pareille termination. Et est aussi a noter que tout renvoy lequel a la fois se commence a son refrain est pareil comme les autres couplets mais il ne contient que cinq lignes au plus. Et prent ses terminations et remettez en rimant selon les derrenieres lignes desdis couplets

Exemple de balade commune

Balade baladant tient pour les termes de termes de balades communes si non que les couplets sont comme vers septains / d'autres huitains. Aucuns dient que elles sont de vi. de x. et de xi. sillabes. Et est batellee a la .iiii. sillabe en certaines lignes. Car en toutes les lignes de x. ou de xi. sillabes soit en balades ou en autres tailles tousjours la iiii. sillabe ou pied doit estre de mot complect. Et doit on illecques reposer en la prononçant.

Exemple de balade baladant

Balade fatrisee ou jumelle sont deux balades communes tellement annexees ensemble que le commencement de l'une donne refrain a l'autre. Ceste couleur de rhethorique descend a faire regret comme il appert de saint quentin ou l'escuier trouva saint maurice mutilé sur les champs.

Les simples doubles lignes / formés de demies lignes en contradictions

Exemple

Quant une longue ligne est enlacee entre la longue et la courte adonc est lay renforcé. La forme en est clere en l'oroison de la glorieuse vierge marie qui se commence. En protestant. Et avecques ce que ledit lay est renforcé a la fois est il fatrisé par la reprinse des deux premieres lignes comme cy apres est declaré

Exemple

Champt royal se recorde es puis ou se donnent couronnes & chapeaulx a ceulx qui mieulx le sçavent faire. Et se fait a refrain comme ballade / mais il y a cinq couplets et renvoy.

Exemple

Les servantois servent pareillement au puis et aux rondeaulx Ausquelz il y a certaines rigles que les princes desdis puis y mettent affin de contraindre le facteur sans trop ouvrer de sa puissance par son mouvement lequel prent laict et terminations es premieres lignes / l'une amoureuse laquelle traicte de matiere d'amours Et contient cinq couplets et l'envoy sans refrain. Mais lesdis couplets de pareille consonante sont Et lesdis servantois le plus souvent sont fais en l'onneur de la vierge marie et pour l'onneur de sa tresglorieuse naissance / saincteté et tresparfaicte vie.

Exemple

La ricqueracque est en maniere d'une longue chanson faicte par couplets de six ou de sept sillabes la ligne et chascun couplet a deux diverses croisees la premiere ligne et la tierce de sillabes imparfaictes. La seconde et la quarte de parfaictes et pareillement la seconde croisee distinguees et differentes en termination. Et doit tenir ceste mode de sillabes et tous ses couplets affin qu'elle soit convenable au champt de ceste taille couloura messire georges chastellain ses croniques abregees

Exemple

Bagnenaudes sont couplets fais a voulenté contenant certaines quantités de sillabes sans rime et sans raison pou recommandee ymo repulsee de bons ouvriers et fort auctorisee du temps maistre jehan de virtoc

Exemple

De rigmes en goret et plusieurs autres menues tailles ne font les rhetoriciens quelque estime pour ce qu'elles sont vicieuses & condemnables. Mais qui voult practiquer la science choisisse plaisans equivoques termes leonismes et laissent les bergiers des champs user de leur theorique et rhetorique rurale. Et quant une seule diction nuyst signifie porter dommage & privation de l'euvre par ses exemples declarez

Exemple

Rigme leonisme est quant deux dictions sont semblables et en pareille consonance en sillabes comme il appert ou chapitre de jalousie

Exemple

Rime ruralle est quant les derrenieres sillabes n'ont pas totale consonance ains participent en aucunes lettres.

Exemple

Rime en goret est quant les derrenieres sillabes de la ligne participent en aucunes lettres

Exemple

Redictes en sens sont sinonismes dictions qui signifient une mesme chose

Exemple

Plate redicte estant deux dictions sont mises en rime l'une contre l'autre & sont pareilles en voix et en signification.

Exemple

Autre exemple

Autre taille de vers huitains se fait par autre croisure de laquelle monseigneur l'indiciaire fut principal inventeur

Exemple

Pareille taille de vers huitains est maintenant en usage et n'y a difference si non que les mettres sont de dix et de xi piedz

Exemple

En pareille forme de vers huitains se fait rhetorique batellee Et est dicte batelee pour ce qu'elle a sa volee de resonance en la finable sillabe comme dessus elle a ung autre son et raison en la .iiii. sillabe en maniere de batellage. de ceste nouvelle mode sont coulourez la complainte de gresse : le trosne d'onneur / le temple de mars / les ouvrages de la pucelle : et la resource du petit peuple. Et en a esté inventeur maistre jehan molinet de valenciennes.

Exemple

Autre taille de rime nommee vers douzains ou deux estaz. Et en sont plusieurs histoires & oroisons richement decorees comme O digne preciosité et autres : dont le formulaire & croisure se demonstre par cest exemple

Exemple

Vers alexandrains sont de xii. ou de xiii. sillabes pour mettre. Et n'a que une seule termination le nombre des lignes et est a la voulenté de l'acteur. Ilz sont nommez alexandrains pource que les histoires de alixandre sont faictes en ceste forme. Et plusieurs autres rommans des batailles anciennes tiennent ceste taille mesme l'abregé de troyes ensuit ce train

Exemple.

Autre taille de rime qui se nomme queue annuee pour ce que la fin du mettre est pareille en voix au commencement de l'autre et est divers en signification. Et se peut ceste taille causer en balades vers huitains et rondeaulx de chanson

Exemple

Rhetorique a double queue se veult engendrer par les tailles dessusdictes tant la penultime et la derreniere sillabes ont pareille termination

Exemple

Pour faire amoureuses complainctes et autres doleances ainsi que a fait maistre arnoul grebert qui en fut premier inventeur de belle rhetorique

Exemple

De toutes quantités de sillabes et dictions se font rondeaulx simples et dictiers communs de chançons et autres

Exemple

Rondeau d'une sillabe

Rondeau de deux sillabes

Rondeau de trois sillabes

Rondel de quatre sillabes fait sur la devise du duc philippe de bourgongne

Rondel de v. sillabes

Rondeaulx jumeaulx composez ensemble et tient le petit partie du grant & le grant partie du petit.

Exemple sur le mot du duc charles de bourgongne

Tant les plates redictes que les redictes finies en goret & ricquerac sont contees en termes de rhetorique et condamnees en rigoreux examen il les fault eviter de toute puissance & querir termes plus riches & mieulx recommandez come dictions aucunement pareilles sans estre equivoquees & contraires en signification. Et est de necessité prendre ces termes cy dessoubz transcripz.

Exemple

Pareillement doit le facteur querir et serchier aucuns vers composez de proportions comme a / de / re / com / par / sub. Car lesdis verbes enchainent en riche rime et ont diverses significations

Exemples

Exemple de equivoques a quatre

Section  2.  Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg-tm

Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the
assistance they need, is critical to reaching Project Gutenberg-tm's

remain freely available for generations to come.  In 2001, the Project
Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure
and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future generations.

($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt
status with the IRS.

The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating
charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United
States.  Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a
considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up
with these requirements.  We do not solicit donations in locations
where we have not received written confirmation of compliance.  To
SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any
particular state visit http://pglaf.org

While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we
have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition
against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who
approach us with offers to donate.

International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make
any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from
outside the United States.  U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff.

Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation
methods and addresses.  Donations are accepted in a number of other
ways including checks, online payments and credit card donations.

Section 5.  General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
works.

Professor Michael S. Hart is the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm
concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared
with anyone.  For thirty years, he produced and distributed Project
Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support.


Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed
editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the U.S.
unless a copyright notice is included.  Thus, we do not necessarily
keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition.

including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary
Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to
