Jausbert de Puycibot

[2] He probably wrote the sirventes (servant song) that, together with another by Bertran de Preissac, forms a tenso (dispute) in which the two troubadours debate the merits of old and young women.

[4] Era quan l'ivernz nos laissa E par la fuoilla en la vaissa E il lauzellet chanton c'uns no s'en laissa, Fas sirventes ses biaissa, Mas uns malastrucs m'afaissa, Car ab joves no.s te: Dieus li don aissa!

E tenc m'a gran desmesura Que, pois domna desfegura, Quar ja i fai muzel ni armadura.

Mas prezes de si tal cura Per que l'arm' estes segura, Que.l cors desvai a totz jorns e pejura.

[5] According to one of the novellas in the Flores novellarum of Francesco da Barberino, Jausbert bumped into his neglected wife while visiting a brothel.
