New Site Announcement: Over the past several years, the METS team has been building a new website and new digital edition, in collaboration with Cast Iron Coding. This next phase of METS' editions includes improved functionality and accessibility, an increased focus on transparency, and conformity to best practices for open access and digital editions, including TEI markup. We are currently in a "soft launch" phase in which we will monitor the new site for bugs and errors. We encourage you to visit our new site at https://metseditions.org, and we welcome feedback here: https://tinyurl.com/bdmfv282

We will continue to publish all new editions in print and online, but our new online editions will include TEI/XML markup and other features. Over the next two years, we will be working on updating our legacy volumes to conform to our new standards.

Our current site will be available for use until mid-December 2024. After that point, users will be redirected to the new site. We encourage you to update bookmarks and syllabuses over the next few months. If you have questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to contact us at robbins@ur.rochester.edu.

 		 7. Rondel: «Belle, pour hair faulceté»

Belle, pour hair faulceté
Et vous servir de cuer d’amy,
M’out Amours mis en tel party
Que je pers plaisance et senté.

Car savoir ne puis ce vo gré
Est qu’ayez ja de moy mercy,
Belle, pour hair faulceté
Et vous servir de cuer d’amy.

Mais, s’il vous plaisoit qu’asseuré
En feusse par ung doulx octry,
De tous poins seroye gary
Du gré mal qui tant m’a duré.

Belle, pour hair faulceté
Et vous servir de cuer d’amy,
M’out Amours mis en tel party
Que je pers plaisance et senté.
 		 7. Rondeau: “Fair one, in order to hate falsehood”

Fair one, in order to hate falsehood
And to serve you with a lover’s heart,
Love has put me in such a state
That I lose both pleasure and health.

For I cannot know if it is your will
Ever to have mercy on me,
Fair one, in order to hate falsehood
And to serve you with a lover’s heart.

But if it pleased you that reassured
I might be with a sweet gift,
In every respect I would be cured
Of the sorrow that has lasted me so long.

Fair one, in order to hate falsehood
And to serve you with a lover’s heart,
Love has put me in such a state
That I lose both pleasure and health.
