    Ben s’eschai qu’en bona cort
    chan qui chantar sap:
    et ieu atendrai mon gap
4   don mi tenran plus per lort,
    car sabran li sec e·il sort
    qu’ieu n’aurai pretz, qui qu’en jap,
    dels vint que serem el trap.
   
8   Donc l’endeman del beort
    levarai el cap
    la gran corona de drap:
    an Mita ab lo nas cort!
12   e qui l’apella dreg tort,
    lau que la lenga s’arap,
    que mais fols motz no·ill escap!
   
    Aissi ai bastit en gaug
16   mon cor nou e fresc,
    c’ades sort e saill e tresc
    si qu’apenas veig ni aug;
    e sapcha·l donz de Talaug
20   qu’ieu non sui cel que paresc,
    que·n autre sen m’entrebesc.
   
    E qui·s vol corn, crit e flaug
    d’amor, pos ieu cresc
24   sobre totz c’als qu’en fol pesc:
    qu’eu am des Luc tro ad Aug
    la gensor, e m’en pelaug
    tot hom c’autra per fadesc
28   egal’ab lieis en palesc.
   
    Per midonz ai cor estout
    et humil e baut,
    car s’a lieis non fos d’azaut
32   ieu m’estera en luoc d’un vout
    que d’als non pensera mout,
    mas manjera e tengra·m chaut
    et agra nom Raembaut.
   
36   E qui vol ap[r]enre escout
    d’amar ben cum saut,
    eu saill plus que nuills hom aut;
    e·l janglos saill per so mout,
40   sol que s’apil e s’acout:
    cui’ab lauzengas d’espaut
    dir so don ma domna faut.
   
    Ma chansos non vuoill que saut,
44   mas per cels de cui m’azaut.
   
    Per enseignamen m’azaut
    de moutz que·m fan de lur chaut.
   
    Joglars, per que·m desazaut?
48   ma domna e vos mi faitz baut.

Metrica: a7 b5 b7 a7 a7 b7 b7 (Frank 475:1). Sei coblas doblas (a: ort, aug, out; b: ap, esc, aut) e tre tornadas di due versi (con b: aut).

Nota: Ben s’eschai č la seconda di quattro canzoni (A mon vers [Aa], Ben s’eschai [Aab], Non chant [Aa], Un vers farai [ACDcNN2a]) che si presentano nella stessa sequenza sia in A (nn. 10-13) che in a (nn. 2, 4, 8, 12). Pattison, Life and Works, p. 85: «… Raimbaut’s first seven poems in A are in the same order as they occur in IK, although they are not consecutive in the latter. It is as if someone turned the pages of a ms., copying only here and there a poem which struck his fancy or which was needed to complete his collection. Then come (in A) two poems whose text is closely related to N and which are in the same order in both mss. Finally we encounter the four poems also appearing in a, and of which the first three exist only in Aa. […] In this series the order of the works in the two mss. Aa is identical, although again the poems are not consecutive in a. The only valid conclusion is that the scribe of A or its prototype, having finished those works he wished to take from his source ms. of the type of ADIKN etc., turned to another ms., either the ancestor of a or a closely related text, to take his last four selections from Raimbaut».
