I am trying to translate a Mexican villancico from the 17th century.
The lyrics are:
HERMOSO AMOR
Hermoso amor que forxas tus flechas de las paxas
Temblando a mis rigores ardiendo te a tus ancias.
De que suerte zeñido [ceñido]
Podras vibrar las jareas
Si te_apriçiona_el yelo y te nieua la escarcha.
Si no es que dan tus ojos Rayos que soles fraguan
Quando te ven qual niño con las manos faxadas.
Mas ay que disparas suspiros ardientes que el pecho me abrasan
y con lagrimas tiernas Rindes las almas.
Yngenioso artificio tuuo tu idea rara en humanas finezas
Por Redimir desgracias.

in what manner
this is perhaps a bit of a cheat but this lyric is translated on this early music site:
De que suerte zeñido In what manner will you, held fast,.
Podras vibrar las jaras be able to let fly your arrows.
si te apriçiona el yelo if ice holds
www.houstonearlymusic.org/archives/776
I don't know that it is 100% correct but you can check it out

Note from asker:
I am aware of this site, and I am reworking this translation because it has some obvious errors. |

: "de suerte que" = "de manera que", so I think you're right.

Charles Davis
: Yes, "suerte" means "manera". The translation in context will be simply "How?"
