1. A tale came from Haby
Of no good in life or requital

2. And a bird once perched
On the army, ill-omened

3. When will you leave this world
Increasing sorrow in the folk?

4. Except the palm trees of sincerity
You met but ravens

5. We wore for the long days
Garments for the vain, diaphanous

6. And I spent the days of evil
Tied and shackled

7. And a specter visited in sleep
Yet you did not ask for a kiss

8. So distribute your wealth
And leave the land to roam

9. And do not clothe yourself with the folk
If they are effeminate

10. For you were not of the company
They counted as requital

11. And there remained not in the moment
But pardons in Seville
