Aucassin and Nicolete · early 13th century
Section 33 (sung)
Translated by Andrew Lang (1887)
Here singeth one:
Thus she spake the bright of brow:
"Lord of Torelore and king,
Thy folk deem me a light thing,
When my love doth me embrace,
Fair he finds me, in good case,
Then am I in such derray,
Neither harp, nor lyre, nor lay,
Dance nor game, nor rebeck play
Were so sweet."
