In 1461 François Villon
Wrote Le Grand Testament, but two years on
Like all of us, his fate was to be gone
Whether dead or no, no-one knows, but one
Can't help but wonder if he still lived on
Up to no good, judging by what had gone
Before; like snows of yesteryear, Villon
Melted, though remembered a century on
And ever since then, his known works have gone
Into books, plays and films, so he's now one
Of the most famous of his time, Villon
Writer and thief, his low-life set down on
Parchment, before he was to gallows gone
Saved from the rope because he knew someone
