    "Ab la dolcher del temps novel"
    By William IX, Duke of Aquitaine

    Out of the sweetness of the spring,
    The branches leaf, the small birds sing,
    Each one chanting in its own speech,
    Forming the verse of its new song,
    Then is it good a man should reach
    For that for which he most does long.

    From finest sweetest place I see
    No messenger, no word for me,
    So my heart can't laugh or rest,
    And I don't dare try my hand,
    Until I know, and can attest,
    That all things are as I demand.

    This love of ours it seems to be
    Like a twig on a hawthorn tree
    That on the tree trembles there
    All night, in rain and frost it grieves,
    Till morning, when the rays appear
    Among the branches and the leaves.

    So the memory of that dawn to me
    When we ended our hostility,
    And a most precious gift she gave,
    Her loving friendship and her ring:
    Let me live long enough, I pray,
    Beneath her cloak my hand to bring.

    I've no fear that tongues too free
    Might part me from Sweet Company,
    I know with words how they can stray
    In gossip, yet that's a fact of life:
    No matter if others boast of love,
    We have the loaf, we have the knife!

    "For any of the later Provençals, i.e., the high-brows, we have to...'put ourselves into the Twelfth Century' etc. Guillaume, writing a century earlier, is just as much of our age as of his own."

    And Poictiers, you know, Guillaume Poictiers,
    had brought the song up out of Spain
    with the singers and viels...
