GUILLAUME DUFAY (1397–1474)
bm Quel fronte signorille in paradiso That noble brow
Scorge l’anima mia, shows my soul the way to Paradise,
Mentre che in sua balia while she holds me fast in her power,
Streto mi tiene mirando il suo bel viso. beholding her fair face.
I ochi trapassa tutti dei altri el viso Her face transfixes the eyes of all who look upon it
Con sì dolce armonia, with such sweet harmony,
Che i cor nostri s’en via that our hearts are stolen away
Pian pian in suso vanno in paradiso. and gently ascend to Paradise.
HUGO DE LANTINS (fl 1420–1430)

E n tel deffault trouver, ce m’estoit vis. to see her so transgress, or so I thought.

JOHANNES HAUCOURT (fl 1390–after 1416)
bq Je demande ma bienvenue: I ask my sweetheart:
‘Il a longtemps que ne vous vi; ‘I have not seen you for a long time;
Dites, sui je plus vostre ami; tell me, am I still your love;
Avés bien vostre foy tenue? have you kept faith with me?
La meilleur desoubs la nue You are the most faithful woman on earth,
Estes se l’avés fait ensi.’ if you have.’

Je vous ai moult longtemps perdue, I have been parted from you for a very long time,
Dont j’ay esté en grant soussi, which has made me very unhappy,
Mais de tous mes maulx sui gari, but I am cured of all my ills,
Puis qu’en bon point je vous ay veue.’ now that I have found you well.’
Je demande … I ask …
