"Ilu ja inetus keskajal"
Selline
distants mis tähistab nende suhteid on selline, et tema soov on kuulda Beatricet
teda teervitades: Salute (mis tähendab pääset).Siis ta kirjutab luulet tema kiituseks:
So long a time has Love kept me a slave
And in his lordship fully seasoned me
That even though at first I felt him harsh,
Now tender is his power in my heart.
But when he takes my strength away from me
So that my spirits seem to run away,
My fainting soul then feels overcome1 And my face is drained of all its colour,
For in me Love is working up such power
He makes my spirits rant and wander of
That rushing out they call1 My Lady, begging her to grant me grace.
This happens every time she sees me
and I am humbled more than you'll believe.
