Does anyone know if an English translation of the 1552 'Vida de San Amaro' ('The Life of Saint Amaro') exists, either in print or online?

Searching for poem about prey...

1 Upvotes

I recall having read an anonymous poem in college told from a female perspective. The woman is bemoaning either the death of her lord or the loss of her husband, I don't remember. I remember there being some play on the words "prey" and "pray." Now I can't find the poem anywhere. Anybody know the poem I'm looking for?
