A fair maid sits at the foot of the tower and weeps and sighs and grieves full sore. Her father asks her: 'What is it, daughter? Do you want a husband, or do you want a lord?' 'I do not want a husband, I do not want a lord, I want my true love who pines in the tower!' 'By God, dear daugther, he will not be yours, for tomorrow he will be hung at dawn!' 'Father, if they hang him, bury me underneath, and people will say: '"This is true love!" (transl. Micrologus2, youtube) "Guillaume Dufay (Du Fay, Du Fayt) (August 5, 1397? - November 27, 1474 in Cambrai) was a Franco-Flemish composer of the early Renaissance. As the central figure in the Burgundian School, he was the most famous and influential composer in Europe in the mid-15th century. From the evidence of his will, he was probably born in Beersel, in the vicinity of Brussels. He was the illegitimate child of an unknown priest and a woman named Marie Du Fayt."
