Gobin de Reims

Gobin de Reims (or Reins) was a thirteenth-century trouvère, most likely from Reims. He possibly wrote two satires against women: On soloit ça en arrier and Pour le tens qui verdoie. Quotes Mult seraie bone vie  De bien amer,Qui aurait bele amie  Pour deporter;Sanz orgueil, sanz folie,  Et sanz guiler,Ne ja n'eust envie  d'autrui amer;Ne me vousist fausser;Mes, com loial amie,    Celui amerQui de fin cuer la prie. Sweet life indeed it were,  His joy to prove,Who in his lady fair  Finds a true love:No guile, no folly there,  No fickle pride;Seeking her heart to share  With none beside,To treachery unknown,  Faithful and fervent proved,Loving that only one,  By whom beloved!
