Ay, and goes on yet!

You pother with your glossaries to get

A notion of the Troubadour's intent

In rondel, tenzon, virlai, or sirvent—

Once; but you surely reach, at last,—or, no!

Never quite reach what struck the people so,

As from the welter of their time he drew

Its elements successively to view,
