>>
>> This Song Wants Drink  --  French; twelfth century
>>
>> Who has good wine should flagon it out
>> And thrust the bad where the fungus sprout;
>> Then must merry companions shout:
>> This song wants drink!
>>
>> When I see wine into the clear glass slip
>> How I long to be matched with it;
>> My heart sings gay at the thought of it:
>> This song wants drink!
>>
>> I thirst for a sup; come circle the cup:
>> This song wants drink!

>> My Lady Looks So Gentle  --  Dante Alighieri
>>                                         --  Italian; thirteenth century
>>
>> My lady looks so gentle and so pure
>> When yielding salutation by the way,
>> That the toungue trembles and has nought to say,
>> And the eyes, which fain would see, may not endure.
>> And still, amid the praise she hears secure,
>> She walks with humbleness for her array;
>> Seeming a creature sent from Heaven to stay
>> On earth, and to show a miracle made sure.
>> She is so pleasant in the eyes of men
>> That through the sight the inmost heart doth gain
>> A sweetness which needs proof to know it by:
>> And from between her lips there seems to move
>> A soothing spirit that is full of love,
>> Saying for ever to the soul, "O sigh!"
>>

>>
>> Beauty in Women   --  Guido Cavalcanti
>>                              --  Italian; thirteenth century
>>
>> Beauty in woman; the high will's decree;
>> Fair knighthood arm'd for manly exercise;
>> The pleasant song of birds; love's soft replies;
>> The strength of rapid ships upon the sea;
>> The serene air when light begins to be;
>> The white snow, without wind that falls and lies;
>> Fields of all flower; the place where waters rise;
>> Silver and gold; azure in jewellery:
>> Weigh'd against these, the sweet and quiet worth
>> Which my dear lady cherishes at heart
>> Might seem a little matter to be shown;
>> Being truly, over these, as much apart
>> As the whole heaven is greater than this earth.
>> All good to kindred natures cleaveth soon.
