Note 89 — CHAP. II. HISTORY OF PORTUGUESE POETRY AND ELOQUENCE FROM THE EPOCH OF THE INTRODUCTION OF THE ITALIAN STYLE, TILL TOWARDS THE END OF THE SIXTEENTH CENTURY.
Thomasina Ross translation
She tells, with a humorous simplicity, that her ungrateful husband has robbed her garden of its fruits before they were ripe; that he never does any thing, but leads a sottish life, eating and drinking all day, &c.
Vayseme aas ameyxieyras antes que sejam maduras, elle quebra as cereygeyras, elle vendima as parreyras, et nam sey que faz das vuas. Elle nam vay aa laurada, elle todo dia come, elle toda noyte dorme, elle nam faz nunca nada et sempre me diz que ha fome. Jesu Jesu, posso te dizer et jurar, et tresjurar, et prouar, et reprouar, et andar, et reuoluer, que he milhor pera beber que nam pera maridar. O demo que o fez marido! que assi seco como he beberaa a torre da see, entam arma hum arroydo assi debayxo do pee.
