Iubilation de l'Amour.

Amour maistre des chants se rend l'ame Chrestiene
Pour son contentement parfaite Musiciene,
Et veut qu' elle ait tousiour à chanter en son chœur.
Il cherit tant ses airs, qu' aussy tost qu' elle chante
Vous diries à le veoir, que ceste voix l'enchante
Luy suspendant l'esprit & rauissant le cœur.

Translations
|
Jubilation of love. |
|
When some soul that is good and dedicated to inner life withdraws within itself, free and loose and unburdened by anything
[external] whatsoever, and having a heart in elevated state and opened up towards God's eternal goodness, then at that very
moment hidden heaven is open to it and from the face of divine love a sort of sudden light like a flash of lightning irradiates
a heart of that disposition, and in that light the Lord's spirit speaks to the same in its love and to the suffering heart
speaks thus: "I am yours, o man, and you are Mine". Then rises the jubilation that is love of the heart and that burns with
the flame of devotion. This is accompanied by acts of praise and gratitude and by continuous awe and reverence towards God;
it is perfected to the highest degree by strings and the organ, on well sounding cymbals, on cymbals of jubilation. |
