Por un alegre prado De flores esmaltado, Y de una clara fuente Con la dulce corriente De aljófares regado; Mi dueño idolatrado Iba cogiendo flores Más bella y más lozana Que ninfa de Diana. Los risueños amores En torno la cercaban, Y en su falda jugaban. Y en tanto que ella hermosa Ora un clavel cogia, Ora una linda rosa, Ora un tierno jacinto; Más flores producia Aquel fresco recinto Orgulloso y ufano: Pues al punto otras tantas, Como tronchó la mano De mi dueño tirano, Brotaron á sus plantas.

Par une belle prairie Décorée de fleurs Et que d'une source claire Le doux courant Arrose de perles, Ma maîtresse adorée Allait cueillant des fleurs, Plus belle et plus fraîche Qu'une nymphe de Diane. Des amours rieurs L'entouraient Et jouaient dans sa jupe. Et pendant qu'elle, si belle, Cueillait un œillet, Une belle rose, Une douce jacinthe, Plus de fleurs produisait Cet espace frais, Orgueilleux et fier. Car un aussi grand nombre Que coupaient la main De ma maîtresse impitoyable Jaillissaient à ses pieds.
