Marginalia - Alysoun

Текст с Bandcamp’а: “Alysoun - Harley Lyrics - Middle English Circa 1340 A lovers song in praise of his sweethearts beauty. “From all women my love is taken, To alight on Alysoun Oh fair fortune“ Bytuene Mershe and Averil When spray biginneth to springe, The lutel foul hath hire wyl On hyre lud to synge: Ich libbe in love-longinge For semlokest of alle thynge, He may me blisse bringe, Ich am in hire baundoun. An hendy hap ichabbe y-hent, Ichot from hevene it is me sent, From alle wymmen my love is lent And lyht on Alysoun. On heu hire her is fayr ynoh, Hire brow broune, hir eye blake; With lossum chere he on me loh; With middel smal and wel y-make; Bote he me wolle to hire take For to buen hir owen make, Long to lyven ichulle forsake And feye fallen adoun. An hendy hap, etc. Nihtes when I wende and wake, For-thi myn wonges waxeth won, Levedi, al for thine sake Longinge is y-lent me on. In world nis non so wyter mon That al hire bounté telle con; Hire swyre is whittore than the swon, And feyrest may in toune. An hendy hap, etc. Ich am for wowyng al for-wake, Wery so water in wore; Lest eny reve me my make Ichabbe y-yerned yore. Betere is tholien whyle sore Then mournen evermore. Geynest under gore, Herkne to my roun. An hendy hap, etc. from Marginalia, released December 16, 2015“
