A woman such as the one I know noble and well formed well proportioned personally and gay with kind and friendly words if she accepted my pleas and supplications should be honored, cherished and cared for because in her nothing is lacking that there should be in a noble woman / if not for the fact that in her, Cupid loses his power She is worth more than the best and is the kindest that / ever was but possesses such rich and authentic virtue / and her character is so joyous and she so pleasantly speaks and does what she wants / and is highly appreciated in high places / that she is proud of this, which goes against the laws of love; this is all the bad things I could say. Since she deigns to enjoy my songs in praise of her, the greatest joy this gives me is a complete recompense. if only I knew how to succeed as I would have heart, will and desire to do and I would have good reason to flaunt my rights to her but I know all good things to say of her that could be said My lady, I can not lie in my praise of you in you is all the good I can speak of and in addition there is what I couldn’t speak of the rest will always be your own.
