E se fist vieler e harper un nouvel son

Coment danz Eneas ama dame Didon,

E coment s’en ala par mer od son dromon,

Cum ele s’en pleint sus as estres en son,

E cum au de roin se art en sa meson.

Pensive en est Candace del torn de la chançon.

Es vous donc son fiz! Candeules ot non,

E tient par le poing destre son noble compaignon.

And she had them playing on viol and harp a new tune

How lord Eneas loved lady Dido,

And how he went off to sea in his swift galley,

How she cried her lament up to the rooftop,

And how at last she burned herself in her palace.

Candace was pensive at the close of that song,

When behold! Here’s her son, Candeules was his name,

Holding his noble companion by the right hand.
