"Lo ferm voler qu'el cor m'intra", considered to be one of the first known sestinas created by the troubadeur Arnaut Daniel. Arnaut Daniel de Riberac (today Arnaut Danièl) was an Occitan troubadour of the 12th century, praised by Dante as "il miglior fabbro" (the best craftsman/creator, literally "the best smith") and called "Grand Master of Love" by Petrarch. In the 20th century he was lauded by Ezra Pound as the greatest poet to have ever lived in his work The Spirit of Romance (1910).

"Schiarazula Marazula" (''Scjaraçule maraçule'' in furlan language)is a traditional fòrlan song, from Friuli (north-eastern Italy), originated in the middle ages as popular peasant song.
In the late 1500, forlan-emilian musician Gjorgi Mayner (also know with the italianized name Giorgio Mainero), wrote a lyric for the son in furlan language:
''Scjaraçule maraçule,
la lusigne, la cracule,
la piciule si niçiule,
di polvar a si tacule;
O scjaraçule maraçule,
cu la ruçule e la cocule,
la fantate jè une trapule,
il fantat un trapolon.''
