Isti duce falar de los astures
Contién abondes voces celto–iberes,
Greco llatines, gótiques, caseres,
Coyendo del romance les ulás pures.

Del provenzal y l’árabe, y mestures
D’italianu y francés pa menesteres,
Que mezclándose toes de maneres
Formen l’idioma pa dicer tenrures.

Pa galantiar los mozos pela aldea,
O platicar del campu y sos llabores,
O al par del llar si un vieyu venerable

Con histories y cuintos nos ricrea,
Con puesíes, y páxarros, y flores,
Diches y penes en sabrosu bable.
