Compleynt of a gentleman who has been waiting outside for some timeG
-
O plasmatour and true celestial lightF
Lord powerful engirdled all with mightF
Give my good fellow aid in fools' despiteF
Who stirs not forth this nightF
And day comes onH
'Sst my good fellow art awake or sleepingI
Sleep thou no more I see the star upleapingI
That hath the dawn in keepingI
And day comes onH
'Hi Harry hear me for I sing arightF
Sleep not thou now I hear the bird in flightF
That plaineth of the going of the nightF
And day comes onH
Come now Old swenkin Rise up from thy bedF
I see the signs upon the welkin spreadF
If thou come not the cost be on thy headF
And day comes onH
And here I am since going down of sunJ
And pray to God that is St Mary's sonJ
To bring thee safe back my companionJ
And day comes onH
'And thou out here beneath the porch of stoneK
Badest me to see that a good watch was doneJ
And now thou'lt none of me and wilt have noneJ
Of song of mineL
Bass voice from insideF
'Wait my good fellow For such joy I takeI
With her venust and noblest to my makeI
To hold embraced and will not her forsakeI
For yammer of the cuckoldF
Though day break '-

When the springtime is sweetF
And the birds repeatF
Their new song in the leavesN
Tis meetF
A man go where he willM
-
But from where my heart is setF
No message I getF
My heart all wakes and grievesN
DefeatF
Or luck I must have my fillM
-
Our love comes outF
Like the branch that turns aboutF
On the top of the hawthorneO
With frost and hail at nightF
Suffers despiteF
'Till the sun come and the green leaf on the boughP
-
I remember the young dayF
When we set strife awayF
And she gave me such gesningI
Her love and her ringI
God grant I die not by any man's strokeI
'Till I have my hand 'neath her cloakI
-
I care not for their clamourD
Who have come between me and my charmerD
For I know how words run looseQ
Big talk and little useQ
Spoilers of pleasureD
We take their measureD
Guilhem de PeitieuF

Descant on a Theme by CerclamonO
-
When the sweet air goes bitterD
And the cold birds twitterD
Where the leaf falls from the twigI
I sough and singI
-
that Love goes outF
Leaving me no power to hold himR
-
Of love I have naughtF
Save trouble and sad thoughtF
And nothing is grievousS
as I desirousS
Wanting only whatF
No man can get or has gotF
-
With the noblest that stands in men's sightF
If all the world be in despiteF
I care not a gloveT
Where my love is there is a glitter of sunO
God give me life and let my course runO
-
'Till I have her I loveT
To lie with and proveU
-
I do not live nor cure meV
Nor feel my ache great as it isW
For love will giveX
me no respiteF
Nor do I know when I turn left or rightF
nor when I go outF
-
For in her is all my delightF
And all that can save meV
-
I shake and burn and quiverD
From love awake and in swevynO
Such fear I have she deliverD
me not from painO
Who know not how to ask herD
Who can notF
Two years three years I seekI
And though I fear to speak outF
Still she must know itF
-
If she won't have me now Death is my portionO
Would I had died that dayF
I came into her swayF
God How softly this killsY
When her love look steals on meV
Killed me she has I know not how it wasZ
For I would not look on a womanO
-
Joy I have none if she make me not madF
Or set me quiet or bid me chatterD
Good is it to me if she floutF
Or turn me inside out and aboutF
My ill doth she turn sweetF
-
How swift it isW
For I am traist and looseQ
I am true or a liarD
All vile or all gentleM
Or shaking betweenO
as she desireD
I Cerclamon sorry and gladF
The man whom love hadF
and has everD
Alas who'er it please or painO
She can me retainO
I am gone from one joyA2
From one I loved never so muchB2
She by one touchB2
Reft me awayF
So doth bewilder meV
I can not say my sayF
nor my desireD
And when she looks on meV
It seems to meV
I lose all wit and senseC2
-
The noblest girls men loveT
'Gainst her I prize not as a gloveT
Worn and oldF
Though the whole world run rackI
And go dark with cloudF
Light isW
Where she standsD2
And a clamour loudF
in my earsE2

In orchard under the hawthorneO
She has her lover till mornO
Till the traist man cry out to warnO
Them God how swift the nightF
And day comes onO
-
O Plasmatour that thou end not the nightF
Nor take my beloved from my sightF
Nor I nor tower man look on daylightF
'Fore God How swift the nightF
And day comes onO
-
'Lovely thou art to hold me close and kisstF
Now cry the birds out in the meadow mistF
Despite the cuckold do thou as thou listF
So swiftly goes the nightF
And day comes onO
-
My pretty boy make we our play againO
Here in the orchard where the birds complainO
'Till the traist watcher his song unreinO
Ah God How swift the nightF
And day comes on '-
-
Out of the wind that blows from herD
That dancing and gentle is and thereby pleasanterD
Have I drunk a draught sweeter than scent of myrrhD
Ah God How swift the nightF
And day comes on '-
-
Venust the lady and none lovelierD
For her great beauty many men look on herD
Out ofmy love will her heart not stirD
By God how swift the nightF
And day comes onO
