A villancico by Milán for accompanied voice. The rubric is slightly ambiguous through awkward wording: “This next villancico in the manner that is hear sounded: the singer can gloss the melody adn the vihuela has to polay very slowly”

Song Text
Sospiró una señora que yo vi
¡Oxallá fuesse por mí!
Sospiró una señora
y he me dado atender
Que sospira por tener
gran pesar de quien llora.
Ya yo sé que burladora, aunque assí,
¡Oxallá fuesse por mí!
Sighed a lady that I saw.
I wish it were for me.
Sighed a lady
And it gave me understanding.
That she sighs for having
the great weight for who she cries
I now know she’s a mocker
And even though it is so.
I wish it were for me.
