RONDEL by JEAN FROISSART

First Line: LOVE, LOVE, WHAT WILT THOU WITH THIS HEART OF MINE?
Last Line: NAUGHT SEE I PERMANENT OR SURE IN THEE!
Subject(s): LOVE;
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!
