| Back | I am that lowly peasant girl whom thou in thy goodness or for thy pleasure wouldst raise high enough to call herself thine; I am she who in the seclusion of innocence led a contented life until at the voice of thy importunity, and thy true and tender passion, as it seemed, she opened the gates of her modesty and surrendered to thee the keys of her liberty; a gift received by thee but thanklessly, as is clearly shown by my forced retreat to the place where thou dost find me, and by thy appearance under the circumstances in which I see thee. |

| Front | Yo soy aquella labradora humilde a quien tú, por tu bondad o por tu gusto, quisiste levantar a la alteza de poder llamarse tuya. Soy la que, encerrada en los límites de la honestidad, vivió vida contenta hasta que, a las voces de tus importunidades, y, al parecer, justos y amorosos sentimientos, abrió las puertas de su recato y te entregó las llaves de su libertad: dádiva de ti tan mal agradecida, cual lo muestra bien claro haber sido forzoso hallarme en el lugar donde me hallas, y verte yo a ti de la manera que te veo. |
