    Adam Lay Bound
    (15th century)

    Adam lay ybounden, bounden in a bond,
    Four thousand winter thoughte he not too long;
    And al was for an apple, and apple that he took,
    As clerkes finden writen, writen in hire book.
    Ne hadde the apple taken been, the apple taken been,
    Ne hadde nevere Oure Lady ybeen hevene Queen.
    Blessed be the time that apple taken was:
    Therfore we mown singen Deo Gratias.

    Willam Byrd: The Faithless Shepherdess

    WHILE that the sun with his beams hot
    Scorched the fruits in vale and mountain,
    Philon the shepherd, late forgot,
    Sitting beside a crystal fountain
    In shadow of a green oak tree,
    Upon his pipe this song play'd he:
    Adieu, Love, adieu, Love, untrue Love!
    Untrue Love, untrue Love, adieu, Love!
    Your mind is light, soon lost for new love.

    So long as I was in your sight
    I was your heart, your soul, your treasure;
    And evermore you sobb'd and sigh'd
    Burning in flames beyond all measure:
    --Three days endured your love to me,
    And it was lost in other three!
    Adieu, Love, adieu, Love, untrue Love!
    Untrue Love, untrue Love, adieu, Love!
    Your mind is light, soon lost for new love.

    Another shepherd you did see,
    To whom your heart was soon enchained;
    Full soon your love was leapt from me,
    Full soon my place he had obtained.
    Soon came a third your love to win,
    And we were out and he was in.
    Adieu, Love, adieu, Love, untrue Love!
    Untrue Love, untrue Love, adieu, Love!
    Your mind is light, soon lost for new love.

    Sure you have made me passing glad
    That you your mind so soon removed,
    Before that I the leisure had
    To choose you for my best beloved:
    For all my love was pass'd and done
    Two days before it was begun.
    Adieu, Love, adieu, Love, untrue Love!
    Untrue Love, untrue Love, adieu, Love!
    Your mind is light, soon lost for new love.

    CRABB'D Age and Youth
    Cannot live together:
    Youth is full of pleasance,
    Age is full of care;
    Youth like summer morn,
    Age like winter weather;
    Youth like summer brave,
    Age like winter bare.
    Youth is full of sport,
    Age's breath is short;
    Youth is nimble, Age is lame;
    Youth is hot and bold,
    Age is weak and cold;
    Youth is wild, and Age is tame.
    Age, I do abhor thee;
    Youth, I do adore thee;
    O, my Love, my Love is young!
    Age, I do defy thee:
    O, sweet shepherd, hie thee!
    For methinks thou stay'st too long.

    Dom Dinis "O que vos nunca cuidei a dizer"

    Dom Dinis "Non chegou, madr', o meu amigo"

    [YOUTUBE]hclnF8l7Ay8[/YOUTUBE]

    Ora faz ost’o senhor de Navarra
    —Agora faz isso o senhor de Navarra,
    pois em Provença é o rei de Aragão;
    não têm medo, nem do seu pico, nem à sua Marra
    em Tarazona, nem que está perto;
    não têm medo de lhes colocar aríetes
    e serão rir muito Inzura e Darren;
    mas, se Deus traz o senhor de Monção
    estou certo de que lhes destruirá a bacia.

    Se o bom Rei lhes arrasa a Escudela,
    que de Pamplona ouvistes chamar,
    mal ficará o outro em Tudela,
    não tem outra coisa de que se preocupar:
    pois verá o bom Rei em acampamento
    e destruir até o burgo de Estella:
    verás sofrer os navarros e ao senhor
    que a todos comanda.

    Quando o senhor sai de Tudela, lança
    ele a sua hoste e todo o seu poder;
    bem sofrem aí de sacrifício e de pena,
    pois saem para roubos e voltam correndo;
    o Rei procura, como perito,
    que não amanheça em terra alheia,
    e de onde partiu, ele torna a dormir,
    o almoço ou então o jantar.,

    João Soares de Paiva 1204/1213(?)Porto- Portugal

    Gil Vicente (c. 1470 )

    Full of grace exceedingly,
    As she hath charm and loveliness;
    Speak, O sailor of the sea,
    And from out thy bark, confess
    That never ship nor sail can be
    Beautiful as she.
    Speak, thou knightly man-at-arms,
    Boasting of thy panoply,--
    Are horse or sword or war-alarms
    Beautiful as she?
    Speak, thou shepherd of the hills,
    Where thine idle flocks are free,--
    Are there peaks or vales or rills
    Beautiful as she?

    '' Questa fanciull', Amor '' by Francesco Landini, sung in 1300 tuscan.


    Questa fanciull', Amor, fàllami pia,
    Che m'ha ferito 'l cor nella tuo via.

    Tu m'a', fanciulla, sì d'amor percosso,
    Che solo in te pensando trovo posa.

    El cor di me da me tu a' rimosso
    Cogl'occhi belli et la faccia gioiosa.

    Però al servo tuo, de'!, sie piatosa:
    Merçè ti chero alla gran pena mia.

    Questa fanciull', Amor, fàllami pia,
    Che m'ha ferito 'l cor nella tuo via.

    Se non soccorri alle dogliose pene,
    Il cor mi verrà meno che tu m'a' tolto.

    Che la mia vita non sente ma' bene,
    Se non mirando 'l tuo veçoso volto.

    Da poi fanciulla che d'amor m'a involto
    Priego ch'alquanto a me benigna sia.

    Questa fanciull', Amor, fàllami pia,
    Che m'ha ferito 'l cor nella tuo via.

    ^^^ I love that piece called Greensleeve. It's so melodic and so medieval. I hear it all the time at Christmas time.

    Here is one from Serbia called Skomraska Igra
