HIMENEO. But go and bring me the vihuela:
perhaps I will deliver a canción,
so wrapped up in my passion
that all the world will grieve
except she
who cannot feel sorrow.

1st SINGER What shall we do?
HIMENEO Sirs, we should begin.
1st SINGER Finish [adjusting] those frets.
2nd SINGER Will you shut up, idiot?
SINGER He isn't half polite!
Shall we perform what you
commanded?
HIMENEO Yes, good. The canción first,
and then the villancico.
But yet, I beg you
let it be done in such a way
that my grief should be made plain
in your voices and music.

Ymeneo. Mas vame por la viuela
quiça dire vna cancion
tan enbuelta en mi passion
que todo el mundo se duela
sino aquella
que dolor no cabe en ella.

can [1°) como sobras de cortes
diremos lo que ordenastes
yme: si bien Ia cancion primero
y el villancico despues
pero yo os ruego portanto
que vaya Ia cosa tal
que se descubra mi mal
en vuestras bozes y canto.
