Dafne and her arms grew

At the entrance of a valley, in a desert

Love, love, a habit I wore

Boscán, weapons and the fury of Mars

Boscán, you are avenged, with my decline

Very clear Marquis, in whom he pours

Like the tender mother

With extreme eagerness to see what you have

With such force and vigor they are concerted

When I stop to contemplate my state (Garcilaso de la Vega)

From that good and excellent view

Within my soul was begotten of me

The foundation is overthrown

The evil in me has made its foundation

Anyway, into your hands I have come

As of rose and lily

Your gesture is written in my soul

I am still in tears bathed

Thank heaven I give that already from the neck

· Beautiful nymphs, who, in the river tucked

Illustrious honor of Cardona's name

July, after I left crying

The sea between and lands I have left

Mario, the ungrateful Love, as a witness

My tongue goes through the pain the guide

Not the French hateful weapons

Do not lose more who has lost so much

Oh jealousy of love, terrible brake

Oh that executive fate in my sorrows

Oh sweet garments, for me badly found

Passing the sea Leandro the spirited

Thinking that the road was going straight

By rough roads I have come

My lady, if I am absent from you

If at your will I am made of wax

If to restrain this desire

If complaints and regrets can both

I feel the pain diminish little by little

You suspect that in my sad fantasy

A while my hope rises

Compliments:

That honest and pure will

The sweet lament of two shepherds

· In the middle of winter it is warm
