The Reign of Evil

Peire Vidal (12th century), "A per pauc de chantar no.m lais," lines 5-8, in Samuel N. Rosenberg et al., edd., Songs of the Troubadours and Trouvères: An Anthology of Poems and Melodies (New York: Garland Publishing, Inc., 1998), p. 114:
And I see evil reign so fully
That it has conquered and dominated the world,
So that one can scarcely find a country
Whose head is not caught in its trap.

E vei tant renhar malvestat
Que .I segl' a vencut e so brat,
Si qu'apenas truep nulh paes
Qu'el cap non aj'a son latz pres.
