March, Ausiàs: Així com cell qui es veu prop de la mort

Així com cell qui es veu prop de la mort,
corrent mal temps, perillant en la mar,
e veu lo lloc on se pot restaurar
e no hi ateny per sa malvada sort,
ne pren a me, qui vaig afanys passant
e veig a vós, bastant mos mals delir:
desesperat de mos desigs complir,
iré pel món vostre ergull recitant.

Just like he who sees himself near death,
going through hardships, through perils at sea,
and sees a place where he can find his ease
and cannot reach it for his evil luck;
like him I pass through these hard times
and see you, who might cure all my ills:
and now despaired of achieving my desires,
I'll circle the world, telling of your pride.
