Described by Fuenllana as a “soneto” the text of this work does not correspond to the poetic structure of a sonnet and therefore should be understood more along the lines of a villanesca, a generic Spanish term for madrigal. No vocal original survives, but the work was also intabulated by Vincenzo Galilei in Fronimo (1568/2, no 3, p. 13, and 1584/5, no 7, fol. 23.). The bass voice of the original polyphony is printed in red ciphers so it can be sung. The text is placed below the tablature.
D’un spritu triste y sin consuelo
te plugo hazer alegre y consolado
tornandole la ymagen que es del cielo.
D’un hombre que pensó siempre hazer duelo
lo has hecho complazer y sin cuidado.
O venturoso yo pues en el suelo
alcance a conocer
mas auentajada que otra sculptura.
