• Lai del Kievrefuel (Anonyme)

Through courtliness I strip away
low behavior and all pride,
for what my eyes have pursued
I am moved to commit it to paper;
I begin a lay about it, the Lay of the Honeysuckle.
Sustained by love, I wish to begin
The melody of the honeysuckle;
no longer do I lament
over the ills which usually distress me,
but now I receive
a generous welcome from love.
My friend, I greet you
first in my lay.
Sweet friend, accept my salutation
at the beginning,
for it has served me well
since, so graciously,
you have set store by my love;
otherwise, I would have died.
You have shown me great goodness,
sweet friend, gracious being,
and so I have tamed your heart,
so that the heart is both yours and mine.
Now there will be no recounting
of the ills which have so distressed me,
for they have turned into great good for me;
of all blessing I seek only this one.
I seek no other joy,
no other good nor other pleasure
except that each day I may hear of you,
for I aspire to nothing so much
as that I should please you
and that I should never vex you
Wherever I may ever be,
I am with you day and night.
Never more will my heart leave
you for as long as I may live,
and, if it does leave, where will it go ?
Be sure, sweet friend,
that, if it did leave, it would break;
Have no doubt about this.
Cursed be the one who would
leave such sweet company!
We must never separate:
God protect us from that!
Rather should mine break
than that yours should think,
sweet friend, of saying goodbye.
Think of my love!
Let me become a martyr
before this could ever come about!
Friend, let there be neither war nor dispute
between us;
sweet friend, by the faith
that I, your friend, bear you,
bore and must bear you,
never, through myself or through my fault
or for any act of madness,
will I ever accuse you.
Never may my sin be such
that I arouse your anger;
may all the good things which my heart feels rather be destroyed!
I possess all benefits forever
and I have all the pleasures,
as many as the Lord God created,
in heaven above and on earth below.
Never has a living man
loved so well
for as long as all the winds
blow the sea this way and that.
Lady, for this give you thanks,
you through whom I declare myself
to be the one who no longer feels pain
nor any bitterness.
I bear no one envy
for anything in this world;
never more do I wish in my life
of all the benefits to be found there
to have anything except your love, dear friend,
you from whom my purest thoughts come
and to whom they go
and accomplish all through you.
Sweet one, sweeter than honey,
this lay, which is good and fine,
is newly composed for you,
and, if it grows old, at least
each day it will become more pleasing
to clerks and ay folk.
Let young and old know
that, because the honeysuckle
is sweeter and smells better
than any plant discovered in the woods,
this sweet lay is called
the joyous honeysuckle.
