Contre le tens qui devise
Yver et pluie d`este
Et la mauvais se debrise
Qui de lonc tens n`a chante
Ferai chancon car a gre
Me vient que j`ai en pense
Amores qui en moi s`est mise
Bien m`a droit son dart gete
(During that time between winter and the rains of summer
when the blackbird sings who hasn`t sung for such a long time,
I will make a song, because the desire comes to me,
and I have been thinking about it. Love, who has lodged in me,
has indeed struck me straight in the heart with his arrow.)
Toda cousa que a Virgen seja prometuda,
Dereit`e: et gran razon que lle seja teuda.
D`est`un fremoso miragre fez Santa Maria
En Chartres por hua moller que jurad`avia
Que non fezesse no sabado obra sabuda
Per que a Santa Maria ouvesse sannuda.
(All those who ever promise something to the virgin,
it is just and there is great reason that they keep that.
It is of a wonderful miracle done by Holy Mary in Chartres
for a woman who swore an oath that she would never work on Saturday...)
