full_question: This man included a refrain about being "Welcomed gladly, and spurned by everyone" in a poem which opens with a description of himself "dying of thirst beside the fountain." Shortly before his death, this man published a joking quatrain proclaiming "my neck will learn the weight of my ass." A poem by this man describes men "rinsed and laundered by the rain, And by the sunlight dried and blackened too," who "to and fro sway at the wind's fantasy." Jean Buridan's apocryphal death by drowning in the Seine is referenced in one of this man's poems, which mentions the burning of Joan of Arc before exhorting "Nay, never ask this week, fair lord, Where they are gone, nor yet this year." Dante Gabriel Rossetti translated that poem, which features the refrain "But where are the snows of yesteryear?" For 10 points, name this French ne'er-do-well who wrote The Testament, which includes "The Ballad of Dead Ladies."
