Quotes
edit- De chantar farai
Una esdemessa,
Que temps ven e vai,
E reman promessa,
E de gran esmai
Fai deus tost esdessa.
Segur estem, seignors,
E ferms de ric socors.- I'll make a song shall utter forth
My full and free complaint,
To see the heavy hours pass on,
And witness to the feint
Of coward souls, whose vows were made
In falsehood, and are yet unpaid.
Yet, noble sirs, we will not fear,
Strong in the hope of succours near. - Chanson, st. 1, as translated by Edgar Taylor, Lays of the Minnesingers and Troubadours (1825), p. 254
