by Bartolomé de Torres Naharro (c1485 - c1530)

Tan ufano está el querer
Language: Spanish (Español) 
Tan ufano está el querer
Con cuantos males padesce,
Que el corazon se enloquesce
De placer
Con tan justo padescer.

La pena con que fatigo
Esme tan favorecida,
Que de envidiosa la vida
Ya no quiere estar conmigo.
Ella se quiere perder:
Vuestra merced lo meresce.

Y el corazon se enloquesce
De placer
Con tan justo padescer.

Es mas preciosa ventura
Vuestra pena
Que cualquiera gloria agena.

La pena que vos causais,
Los suspiros, el tormento,
Con vuestro merescimiento
Todo lo glorificais.

Mas codiciosa dejais
Vuestra pena,
Que cualquiera gloria agena.

Los que nunca os conoscieron
Penarán por conosceros,
Y los que gozan de veros
Porque mas antes no os vieron.

Que por mayor bien tuvieron
Vuestra pena,
Que cualquiera gloria agena.
