Since there is no obvious reason for this single deviation—nothing in the first stanza would seem to justify it—I have not gone for the full treatment as a variant refrain along the lines of CSM 2 or 290. | 10 A | |

| 12 | mas per ren non lla podían tirar | 10 b | |

Footnotes
| E1: | The manuscript has another two staves at this point, with a decorated capital D and the text of the whole refrain (with the word mentir replacing falir at the end—see the note to lyric line 2) but without musical notation. |

When planning a concert or recording, I would recommend that you use (and credit) my more pragmatic texts and supporting materials in the preparation of your performance, but that you request permission from the Oxford database team to reproduce (and credit) their own critically edited texts in your programme or liner notes, as these adhere to stricter criteria that keep them closer to the original sources, and undoubtedly have the greater academic authority.

Estimated performance times
| Average syllables / min. | Time | |
|---|---|---|
| Very slow | 50 | 8:48 |
| Slow | 100 | 4:24 |
| Medium | 150 | 2:55 |
| Fast | 200 | 2:12 |
| Very fast | 250 | 1:45 |
These are very approximate total times for a full sung (or spoken) performance of all stanzas with all repeats of the refrain. Note that the speed is in average syllables per minute, and no particular mensural interpretation is assumed. More ornamented music will reduce the syllabic speed considerably. Remember also to add time for instrumental preludes, interludes and postludes.
Total syllables: 440
