Rakas tyttö kulta, kuuntele minun lauluani. Minä laulan sinun ikkunasi alla; olen sotilas ja kunnollinen peitsimies. Don, don, don, diri diri don, don, don. Pyydän, että kuuntelisit minua, minähän laulan hienosti, ja minähän pidän sinusta yhtä paljon kuin kreikkalaisesta kukkopaistista. Kun minä menen metsästämään, metsästän haukalla ja tuon sinulle lehtokurppia lihavia lehtokurppia. Jos en pysty ilmaisemaan kaikkea kaunista, mitä tunnen, se johtuu siitä, etten tunne Petrarcaa enkä Heliconin lähteitä. Kai sinä ymmärrät, etten minä mikään lurjus ole enkä roisto; minä vain suutelisin sinua koko yön ja tanssisin riemusta kuin pukki.
