La Ballade des seigneurs du temps jadis (Ballad of the Lords of former times) is one of the poems by François Villon which follows the Ballade des dames du temps jadis and precedes Ballade en vieil langage françoys which constitute the triptych of the ballads at the center of his Testament or Grand Testament, at the opposite of the Small Testament, whose very name appears undue, even according to him (the Lais, "the legacy" in modern French, written well before).
