| In anguish and torment am I because of a love that grips and holds me so that I can go neither here nor there without her holding me in her harness And now I have courage and desire to court if I can one who if the King himself were to pursue her he would show great audacity | B |
| - | |
| Alas unhappy one that I am What shall I do What counsel shall I take For she does not know the sorrow that I bear nor do I dare beg her for mercy Fool you have little understanding since she will never love you neither in name nor through intimacy Let yourself be blown away by the wind And so since I must die shall I confess to her my sorrow Truly I should do it right away I won't do it by my faith even if I knew that all Spain would be mine I would rather die of shame than to have entertained such a thought | B |
| - | |
| Since I shall not send her a messenger and it is not fitting for me to speak myself I don't know how to advise myself But one thing consoles me she knows the alphabet and how to read and I enjoy writing words and if she pleases may she read them so that I may be saved | B |
