Another song from The Mediæval Bæbes I've been listening to lately.
Love me broughte
And love me wroughte,
Man, to be thy fere.
Love me fedde
And love me ledde
And love me lettet here.
Love me slou
And love me drou
And love me layd on bere.
Love is my pes,
for love I ches,
Man to buyen dere.
Ne dred thee nought,
I have thee sought
Bothen day and night,
To haven thee;
well is me,
I have thee wonnen in fight. | Love delivered me
And love created me,
To be your companion, mankind.
Love sustained me
And love guided me
And love abandoned me here.
Love killed me
And love dragged me
And love laid me on the bier.
Love is my peace,
And for love I chose,
To redeem mankind at great cost.
So you should fear nothing,
For I have looked for you
Both day and night,
In order to be your haven;
I have done well,
For I have won you in battle. |
Words: From the Commonplace Book of John Grimstone (1372)
