LA CAPA

g La capa todo 10 tapa
dice un refran castellano,
Y hay muchos que en- 81 verano
echan de manos la capa,
por que al sol canicular,
que es un gran denunciador,
ensenan, hasta en- su honor
10 mucho que hay que tapar.
Cuando ell otono comienza,
aunque haya calor de estfo,
hay quien va pretexta el frfo
For taparse la verguenza,
y anticipa IN par de meses
el embozo hasta los ojos,
por no dar con los enojos
de sus terribles iagIeses.
Porque, en- esta core Y villa,
la capa que puso ell dueno
por seis pesetas de empeao
a salvo>de la pelilla,
por siete meses 6 mas
es disfraz interesante,
tapa- manchas por delante,
sobre- deudas por detras.
7 hay quien en- la calle cuida
de evitar, con la paTlosa,
8 sorpresas de la esposa,
8 insultos de la querida.
Pero ay 5! 81 al llegar la dana,
Sc halla 81 precavido mozo,
con que le arranoa 81 embozo
un soplo del Guadarrama
Los que va me tienen hsrto
son los que, con facha fera
de la epoca aventurera
del rey don Felipe c1arto,
llevan la capa terciada
y. para que mas los noten,
sacan por debajo el rotten,
que es hoy del ru6an espada.
Otro refran castellano
habla de ese largo abrigo,
con one SO We alg1n mendigo
darse aires de soberano
"El que tiene capa escapa,"
mas creo que hay que contar
con que empieza por soltar,
para escapar bien la capa.
Pero / habra alg1n tonic ahora.
tan casio y de buena fe,
que la suelte q 10 Jose
a una bella tentadora ?
Antes monje de la Trapa
que hacer tai majaderia;
yo siempre me quedaria
con la hermosa-- y con la capa.
