There is a song (virelai/motet/ballade... I don't know) by Guillaume de
Machaut where he compares the 13 virtues of his lady to the 13 strings of
his harp. Does anyone know the title?

Thanks!
Erik

As you might know, I have Machaut's complete lyrics online, but I
was unable to find anything like this. Certainly the number 13
does not appear, nor the word harp.
