VALENTINE’S DAY – February 14th
The earliest surviving
valentine is a 15th-century rondeau
written by Charles, Duke of Orléans to his wife,
which commences.
Je suis desja d'amour tanné
Ma tres doulce Valentinée...
Ma tres doulce Valentinée...
—Charles d'Orléans, Rondeau VI, lines 1–2
At the time, the duke was
being held in the Tower of London following his capture at the Battle of Agincourt, 1415.
The earliest surviving
valentines in English appear to be those in the Paston
Letters, written in 1477 by Margery Brewes to her future husband
John Paston "my right well-beloved Valentine".
The verse Roses are red
echoes conventions traceable as far back as Edmund
Spenser's epic The Faerie
Queene (1590):
She bath'd with roses red, and violets blew,
And all the sweetest flowres, that in the forrest grew.
And all the sweetest flowres, that in the forrest grew.
The modern cliché
Valentine's Day poem can be found in the collection of English nursery rhymes Gammer
Gurton's Garland (1784):
The rose is red, the violet's blue,
The honey's sweet, and so are you.
Thou art my love and I am thine;
I drew thee to my Valentine:
The lot was cast and then I drew,
And Fortune said it shou'd be you.
The honey's sweet, and so are you.
Thou art my love and I am thine;
I drew thee to my Valentine:
The lot was cast and then I drew,
And Fortune said it shou'd be you.
In case you've forgotten:
Roses
Are Red
Roses
are red.
Violets are blue.
Sugar is sweet.
And so are you.
Violets are blue.
Sugar is sweet.
And so are you.
