Note 200 — FIRST SECTION. History of Spanish Poetry and Eloquence, from the Introduction of the Italian Style to the Age of Cervantes and Lope de Vega.

Thomasina Ross translation

The following is a specimen:—

Sola me dexaste En aquel hiermo, Villano malo Gallego. Voyme a do te fuyste, Voyme no sè a donde. El valle responde, Tu no respondiste. Moça sola ay triste, Que llorando ciego Tu passaslo en juego. Por hiermos agenos Lloro, y grito en vano. Gallego, y villano, Que esperava yo menos? Ojos de agua llenos, Vòs pecho de fuego Quando avreis sossiego?
