Anonymous, 14th Century English

lyrics

(Medieval English)

I have set my hert so hy
My lykyth no love that lower ys;
And all the payn the y may drye,
Me thenk hyt doth my good, ywis,
Me thenk it doth, ywis.

For by these dreams I am enthralled*
So hertely have I set my thowght
Yt is my joie on them to calle
For love me hath in balus browght
Me thenk yt hath, ywis.

*Katherine’s contrafactum
--
(Modern English)

I have set my heart so high,
No love that is lower pleases me;
And all the suffering that I endure,
It seems to me it does me good, indeed,
It seems it does, indeed.

For by these dreams I am enthralled*
I have so heartily set my mind
It is my joy to call on them.
For love has laid me on the rack
It seems it has, indeed.
