Commentary
Intabulation of a work by Pedro Guerrero that he calls “soneto” but which sets a text in octava rima by Juan Boscán. It is the unique source. The identity of the author is established in the book’s tabla of contents where it is the first of a group of “Sonetos y madrigales de Pedro Guerrero” (fol. † 9v).

Song Text
Amor es voluntad dulce y sabrosa,
Que todo corazon duro enternece;
El amor es el alma en toda cosa,
Por quien remoça el mundo y reuerdece;
El fin de todos en amor reposa,
En él todo comiença y permanece,
Deste mundo y del otro la gran traça:
Con sus braços amor toda la abraça.
