Cantiga 079 of the Cantigas de Santa Maria of Alfonso X

Musa, the Girl Taken to Paradise
A pretty girl named Musa was carefree and merry.

The Virgin appeared to her in a dream with a host of beautiful maidens.

Musa wanted to go with them, but the Virgin chided her. She told her that if she quit behaving so frivolously she could join them in thirty days.

Musa began behaving sedately. When her parents questioned her, she told them about the vision.

Musa was stricken with a fever.

At the appointed time, she died and the Virgin came to fetch her.
