The "Ballade des dames du temps jadis" ("Ballade of Ladies of Time Gone By") is a Middle French poem by François Villon that celebrates famous women in history and mythology, and a prominent example of the ubi sunt? genre.
[1] It is also known with the lyrics "le roi, la reine et le petit prince" (the king, the queen, and the little prince) and "Puisque c'est comme ça" rather than "Puisque c'est ainsi" (both "because it's like this" or "since this is how it is"). This song is used to teach the days of the week to children in French.
