Translations

From the French. Rondel

By Jean Froissart

LOVE, love, what wilt thou with this heart of mine?

Naught see I fixed or sure in thee!

I do not know thee,—nor what deeds are thine:

Love, love, what wilt thou with this heart of mine?

Naught see I fixed or sure in thee!

Shall I be mute, or vows with prayers combine?

Ye who are blessed in loving, tell it me:

Love, love, what wilt thou with this heart of mine?

Naught see I permanent or sure in thee!
