5. Rondel: «Bien appert, Belle, a vo bonté»

Bien appert, Belle, a vo bonté
Et a vostre maintenement
Que vous aimez tresloiaument
La ou vostre cuer c’est donné.

Pour ce est cil tresbien euré
Qui vous aime non faintement.
Bien appert, Belle, a vo bonté
Et a vostre maintenement.

S’en doit mieulx faire vostre gré
De cuer et plus songneusement,
Car pour vivre amoureusement,
Il ne est nul mieulx assené.

Bien appert, Belle, a vo bonté
Et a vostre maintenement
Que vous aimez tresloiaument
La ou vostre cuer c’est donné.
 
5. Rondeau: “Well does it seem, my beautiful lady”

Well does it seem, my beautiful lady,
From your goodness and from your manner,
That you love very loyally
There where you have given your heart.

Therefore is he very fortunate,
The one who loves you devotedly.
Well does it seem, my beautiful lady,
From your goodness and from your manner.

Thus he ought better to do your will
With all his heart, and more attentively,
For to live a life of love,
There is no one who is better placed.

Well does it seem, my beautiful lady,
From your goodness and from your manner,
That you love very loyally
There where you have given your heart.
