RONDEAU OF HYS LADYE by JEAN FROISSART

First Line: SOE BLITHE AM I WHEN I A ROSE DOE SMELL
Last Line: SOE FULL OF BLISS WHEN I MY LADYE SEE.
Subject(s): FLOWERS; HAPPINESS; LOVE; ROSES; JOY; DELIGHT;

SOE blithe am I when I a rose doe smell;
Soe full of bliss when I my Ladye see;
Of twayne one onlye soothes the heart of me:
Soe blithe am I when I a rose doe smell.
Sweet is the scent; whereas her sighte doth quell
My heart soe that myne eyes ashaméd be:
Soe blithe am I when I a rose doe smell,
Soe full of bliss when I my Ladye see.
