lines peculiar to C
S. ni nulha res ta mal no·m fa
quo so qu’anc de mos huelhs no vi
U. s’em breu merce no·l pren de mi
e anc hom tan gen no mir
ab tan dous mal ni no·n s’escha
T. a la belha que mon cor a
on mey voler fan dreg cami
W. e pot ben dir s’aman m’auci
que mais tan fizel non aura
Y. Un’ amor lonhdana m’ auci
e·l do us dezirs propdas m’esta
e quan m’albir qu’ieu me n’an la
en forma d’un bon pellegri
mey voler son siey anc issi
de ma mort qu’estiers no sera
Z. Peironet, passa riu; di li
que mos cors a lieys passara,
e si li platz, alberguar m’a
per que·l parlamen sera fi;
mal me faderon mey pairi
s’amors m’auci per lieys que m’a

de l’amor no sai qo·m penra (a a M)
lines peculiar to a
R. senes pro qe ja no n’aura
Q. E si tan fai qe zo devi
ma domna cossi m’amara
pos messatgiers lai non ira
ni eu m’en metrai el cami;
e s’anc per le is null mal suffri,
ja per mon grat non o sabra
Compare the treatment of love in this song with Cercamon No. 6. This is the only song for which Jeanroy did not use C as a base. Here he uses E, and we follow him. Note below, however, his deviations from E’s text and spelling.
