RONDEAU, by                     Poet's Biography
First Line: My heart enjoys the fragrance of the rose
Last Line: Tis raptured when it sees my lady fair.
Alternate Author Name(s): Froissart, Jehan


MY heart enjoys the fragrance of the Rose,
'Tis raptured when it sees my Lady fair;
The first more profit that the last bestows,
My heart enjoys the fragrance of the Rose.

Wholesome the scent, but by my soul I swear,
To gaze is greater danger than I dare;
My heart enjoys the fragrance of the Rose,
'Tis raptured when it sees my Lady fair.
