BISCLAVARET.
Bisclaveret ad nun en Bretan,
Garwall l'apelent li Norman.
Jadis le poët-hum oïr,
E souvent suleit avenir,
Humes plusurs Garwall devindrent
E es boscages meisun tindrent.
Marie de France: Lais.
In either mood, to bless or curse,
God bringeth forth the breath of man;
No angel sire, no woman nurse
Shall change the work that God began:
One spirit shall be like a star,
He shall delight to honour one;
Another spirit he shall mar;
None shall undo what God hath done.
