An English song from c.1400

lyrics

I have set my hert so hy, me likyth no love that lower ys; and all the payn that y may dry, me thenk hyt doth me good, ywis, me thenk yt doth, ywis.
For on that lord that loved us all so hertely have I set my thowght, yt ys my joie on hym to call, for love me hath in balus browght; me thenk yt hath, ywis.

I have set my heart so high, no love that is lower pleases me; and all the suffering that I can endure, it seems to me it does me good, indeed - it seems it does, indeed.
For on that lord who loved us all I have so heartily set my mind, it is my joy to call on him, for love has laid me on the rack - it seems it has, indeed.
(Medieval English Songs, Dobson and Harrison 1979)
