To the Catalan and Spanish writers of the Renaissance he was a model of courtly love who had attained gran fama (great fame).
Only one complete poem, Dompna gentil, vos m'enculpats a tort, survives despite Pau's subsequent fame.
A fragment, Per fembre fo Salamo enganat, of a lost poem by Pau is preserved in the Conhort of Francesc Ferrer.
In this fragment Pau lists the names of famous men who were the victims of woman's lies: Solomon, David, Samson, Adam, Aristotle, Virgil, John the Baptist, and Hippocrates.
It is unknown whether he really died of love or it is a legend that merely arose from his reference to la mort qui.m corre (death that chases me) in Dompna gentil.
