Note 92 — 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

It is a Vilancete resembling the Spanish Villancicos.

Adoray montanhas o Deos das alturas; tambem as verduras Adoray, desertos et serras floridas, o Deos dos secretos o Senhor das vidas. Ribeyras crecidas, louuay nas alturas Deos das criaturas. Louuay aruoredos de fruto prezado; digam os penedos Deos seja louuado. E louue meu gado nestas verduras o Deos das alturas.
