Kalenda Maya:

Kalenda maya
ni fueills de faia
ni chans d'auzell
ni flors de glaia
non es qe-m plaia,
pros dona gaia,
tro q'un isnell
messagier aia
de vostre bell
cors, qi-m retraia
plazer novell
q'amors m'atraia
e jaia
e-m traia
vas vos
donna veraia,
e chaia
de plaia
-l gelos,
anz qe-m n'estria

Neither May Day
nor beech leaves
nor birdsong
nor gladioli
can please me,
worthy and joyous lady,
until I receive
a swift messenger
from your fair
self to tell me of
some new pleasure
and joy
that love brings me,
and I hurry
to you,
faithful lady;
and may the jealous one
fall stricken
before I must leave you.

   ...
   
Gracious lady,
everyone praises and proclaims
your pleasing virute,
and whoever
forgets you
leads a worthless life;
therefore I adore you,
distinguished lady;
for I have chosen you
as the noblest
and the best,
perfect in virtue;
I have praised
and served you
more nobly
than Erec did Enide.
Sir Engles,
I have made
and finished
the estampida.

Una panthera:

Una panthera in conpagnia de Marte, 
Candido Jove d�un sereno adorno, 
Constante e' l�arme chi la guarda intorno. 
Questa guberna lacita' Lucana. 
Con soa dolceca el cielo dispensa e dona, 
Secondo el meritar, iusta corona. 
Dando a ciascun mortal 
Che ne sia degno 
Triumpho, gloria, e parte in questo regno.

A panther in the company of Mars, 
White Jove embellished by a blue sky, 
Steadfast is the shield that surrounds it. 
This panther watches over the city of Lucca. 
In its tender mercy heaven bestows and 
Grants the crown its merits deserve. 
Granting to every mortal 
Worthy of it 
Triumph, glory and a share in that kingdom
