Alicia asked us whether we knew any good rondeaux. I have been searching and apart from the Charles D'Orléans's famous one I always stopped halfway through in disappointment at the others I have discovered up to this moment. I am sure I have read some good ones. As soon as I find one I'll post it.

Charles d’Orléans (1394-1465)

Le temps a laissie son manteau
De vent, de froidure et de pluye,
Et s'est vestu de brouderie,
De soleil luyant, cler et beau.

Il n'y a beste, ne oyseau,
Qu'en son jargon ne chant ou crie:
Le temps a laissie son manteau
De vent, de froidure et de pluye.

Riviere, fontaine et ruisseau
Portent, en livree jolie,
Gouttes d'argent d'orfaverie,
Chascun s'abille de nouveau.
Le temps a laissie son manteau.
