Partiendo de Roma, passando Marino Outside of Rome, crossing Marino,
fuera del monte, en una grand plana, Out of the woods, in a large plain,
executando tras un puerco espino, Chasing a porcupine,
a muy grandes saltos uenia la serrana. The mountain woman came [to me] in big leaps.
5
Vestida muy corta de panno de eruage, Dressed in a short coarse woolen cloth, la rucia cabeça traya tresquilada, Her gray hair she had sheared,
las piernas pelosas bien como saluage, Her legs were hairy like those of a savage,
los dientes muy luengos, la fruente arrugada; Her teeth were very long, her forehead was wrinkled,
las tetas disformes atras las lançaua, Her deformed tits were swinging backwards,
10
calva, çeiunta et muy nariguda, Bald, unibrow, with such a big nose, tuerta de un oio, ynbifia, barbuda, Blind in one eye, hunchbacked, bearded,
galindos los pies que diablo semblaua. Her feet all twisted, she looked like a devil.
