RONDEAU OF FARE-WELL by JEAN FROISSART

First Line: MY BODYE GOES; I LEAVE WYTH THEE MY HEART
Last Line: LADYE MOST DEARE, FARE-WELL TILL I RYDE HOME.
Subject(s): FAREWELL; LOVE; PARTING;

My bodye goes; I leave wyth thee my heart.
Ladye most deare, fare-well till I ryde home.
Ah! woe is me that I soe far must roam:
My bodye goes; I leave wyth thee my heart.
But sweet remembrances shall soothe the smarte
All the sad whyle till back to thee I come:
My bodye goes; I leave wyth thee my heart.
Ladye most deare, fare-well till I ryde home.
