Description: "De tous biens plaine" was originaly a chanson written by Hayne van Ghizeghem.

This version is written in compound time and is usually considered to be only suited for instruments.

De tous biens plaine est ma maistresse
Chacun lut doibt tribut d'onneur
Car assouvye est en valeur
Autant que jamais fut sans cesse.
