| Divina Lysi m a | B |
| perdona si me atrevo | C |
| a llamarte as cuando | D |
| aun de ser tuya el nombre no merezco | E |
| - | |
| A esto no osad a | B |
| es llamarte as puesto | D |
| que a ti te sobran rayos | F |
| si en m pudiera haber atrevimientos | F |
| - | |
| Error es de la lengua | E |
| que lo que dice imperio | G |
| del due o en el dominio | H |
| parezcan posesiones en el siervo | C |
| - | |
| Mi rey dice el vasallo | A |
| mi c rcel dice el preso | F |
| y el m s humilde esclavo | C |
| sin agraviarlo llama suyo al due o | I |
| - | |
| As cuando yo m a | B |
| te llamo no pretendo | D |
| que juzguen que eres m a | B |
| sino s lo que yo ser tuya quiero | G |
| - | |
| Yo te vi pero basta | B |
| que a publicar incendios | F |
| basta apuntar la causa | F |
| sin a adir la culpa del efecto | D |
| - | |
| Que mirarte tan alta | B |
| no impide a mi denuedo | B |
| que no hay deidad segura | B |
| al altivo volar del pensamiento | B |
| - | |
| Y aunque otras m s merezcan | H |
| en distancia del cielo | A |
| lo mismo dista el valle | A |
| m s humilde que el monte m s soberbio | J |
| - | |
| En fin yo de adorarte | B |
| el delito confieso | F |
| si quieres castigarme | K |
| este mismo castigo ser premio | K |

| English | L |
| My divine Lysis | F |
| do forgive my daring | E |
| if so I address you | M |
| unworthy though I am to be known as yours | F |
| - | |
| I cannot think it bold | B |
| to call you so well knowing | E |
| you've ample thunderbolts | F |
| to shatter any overweening of mine | H |
| - | |
| It's the tongue that misspeaks | F |
| when what is called dominion | H |
| I mean the master's rule | A |
| is made to seem possession by the slave | C |
| - | |
| The vassal says my king | E |
| my prison the convict says | F |
| and any humble slave | C |
| will call the master his without offense | F |
| - | |
| Thus when I call you mine | H |
| it's not that I expect | B |
| you'll be considered such | N |
| only that I hope I may be yours | F |
| - | |
| I saw you need more be said | B |
| To broadcast a fire | G |
| telling the cause suffices | F |
| no need to apportion blame for the effect | B |
| - | |
| Seeing you so exalted | B |
| does not prevent my daring | E |
| no god is ever secure | G |
| against the lofty flight of human thought | B |
| - | |
| There are women more deserving | E |
| yet in distance from heaven | H |
| the humblest of valleys | F |
| seems no farther than the highest peak | E |
| - | |
| In sum I must admit | B |
| to the crime of adoring you | M |
| should you wish to punish me | K |
| the very punishment will be reward | B |
