Thomasina Ross translation

For instance, the following passage from a song by Juan de Mena:—

Ya dolor del dolorido, Que con olvido cuydado, Pues que antes olvidado Me veo, que fallecido. Ya fallece mi sentido &c.

Or:—

Cuydar me hace cuydado Lo que cuydar no devria, Y cuydando en lo passado Por mi no passa alegria.

Such plays of words are to be found throughout the whole Cancionero.
