Troubadours (Jaurfre Rudel)

The theme of this poem is love and apparently someone loved someone else and they cannot be without them because their heart ached when they weren't with them. The poem also mentions that it cannot find the remedy for feeling this way and not being able to be away from the person that they love. It mentions at the end of the poem that god does not want him marrying anyone christian, jew, or sacren and that lust has taken her and that he will never give up on loving her.

Trobairitz (Countess of Dia)

The Theme of this is also love been in a different way than Jaurfre Rudel. I think that gay means happy in this poem and that this poem isn't a guy loving a girl but from a girls perspective loving a man. She explains in the poem that she is gay when around him which makes sense that she's happy and that a lady that loves openly should tell her man that she love him to his face.
