Este si que es corredor este si que los otros no; Ha de espantar las estrellas Con maravillas estrañas Que alfin es hombre de cañas Por parecer hecho de ellas todos le siguen las huellas Y el bue la comoun azor

Des courriers voilà le roi, Toujours leste et toujours fringant. Il devancerait le vent, Des courriers, oui sur ma foi Lorsqu'il traverse la nue A son balcon toute émue Apparait mainte ingénue. Captivés par tant de grâce Les coeurs volent sur sa trace Sans y prendre garde il passe Plus rapide que le vent
