Gace Brulé

thumb| Gace Brulé (c. 1160 – after 1213) was a French nobleman and trouvère from Champagne. He appears to have been banished from Champagne at some point and to have found refuge in Brittany. Quotes Les oisillons de mon païs  Ai oïs en Bretaigne:A lor chant m'est il bien avisQu'en la douce compaigne  Les oï jadis,  Se gi' i ai mespris.Il m'ont en si doux penser misQu'a chançon faire me suis pris,  Tant que je parataigneCe qu'amors m'ont lonc tens promis...   The birds, the birds of mine own land      I heard in Brittany;   And as they sung, they seem'd to me   The very same I heard with thee.  And if it were indeed a dream,  Such thoughts they taught my soul to frame,  That straight a plaintive number came,    Which still shall be my song,Till that reward is mine which love hath promised long...
