"Si dos con el alma Se amaron en vida, Y al fin se separan En vida las dos; Sabeis que es tan grande Le pena sentida Que con esa palabra Se dicen adios. Y en esa palabra Que breve murmura, Ni verse prometen Niamarse se juran; Que en esa palabra Se dicen adios. No hay queja mas honda, Suspiro mas largo; Que aquellas palabras Que dicen adios.

Ther is no man that hath to do to giue sentence vpon any case but the king. The mooste parte of the Sabeis apply husbandrie. The residewe gatheringe of spices and drugges. They sayle into Ethiope for trade of marchaundise, in barkes couered with leather. The refuse of their cinamome and Cassian they occupy for firing. Their chiefe citie is called Saba, and stondeth vpon a hyll.

They that are about the king of the Sabeis: haue plate bothe of siluer and golde of all sortest curiously wrought and entallied. They haue also Galeries buylte vppon great pillours, whose coronettes are of golde and of siluer.
