What Do You Advise Me, My Heart?

Poem by Charles D'Orléans Collection RondeauxPeriod 15th century

What do you advise me, my heart?
Shall I go to the fair lady
And tell her the deadly pain
That you suffer for her in sorrow?

For your good and her honor,
It is right that your counsel keep silent.
What do you advise me, my heart,
Shall I go to the fair lady?

If you find her so full of sweetness
That I shall find mercy in her,
Soon you will have good news.
I go there, is it not for the best?
What do you advise me, my heart?

Charles D’Orléans
