From Pisuerga to Arlanza;

From Tagus e’en to Manzanares.

Might I change with Dulcinea,

give her my best petticoat;

Rarest silk, of pretty colours,

Golden fringe and all to boot!

O to live within thine arms, and

O to sit beside thy bed!

O that poll so sweet to scratch, and

Brush the scurf from that dear head!
