Song underlaid with text. One of the pieces on the two folios of tablature in the manuscript Archivo General de Simancas, Casa y Sitios Reales, leg. 394, fol. 130-31. Found by Cristina Bordas c.1985 and described by Corona-Alcalde (corona1986-2). Corona describes the notation as “standard six-course Italian tablature, as used in the extant vihuela books, and also shares the peculiar use of dots to indicate the alignment of the numbers and rhythmic signs, found only in the vihuela sources? Dots are used, too, in order to indicate the figures for the singing voice in the last two songs and at the beginning of the first one, following the practice employed by Mudarra and Daza in their books.6 The note-heads of the rhythmic signs are round, not square as in the vihuela books; but this round shape is found in the book for keyboard, harp, and vihuela by Antonio de Cabezon, and in the manuscript pieces at the back of the vihuela books.7 An interesting detail is the undulating line at the beginning of the Pm/rmilla which perhaps suggests an arpeggio.” (corona1986-2, 3-4)

Ribera uerde y vnbrosa
prados floridos y arboles amenos
A do mi ninfa hermosa
fortuna me hizo menos
y a mis cansados ojos
de agua llenos.
