by Yosef al Katib (d. 1042), as El Escriba

Tant' amare
Language: Old Spanish (Castellano antiguo) 
Tant' amare, tant' amare,
Habib tant' amare
enfermaron velyos nidio
e dolen tan male.

Note: acording to «Et Amicorum»: estudios en honor al profesor Carlos Carrete Parrondo, ed. by Efrem Yidiz, the original spelling looked like the following:

tnt 'm'ry tnt 'mry
hbyb tnt 'm'ry
'nfrmyrwn wlywš gydš.
y dwln tn m'ly
One reconstructed version (Frenk Alatorre, 1966) looks like the following:
¡Tant' amare, tant' amare,
habib, tant'amare!
Enfermaron wueyos, ¡guay Deus!
e duelen tan male.
