Dan muchos en- decir que tn incontante
favor repartes, aturdida y loca;
que no es tn pecho endurecida roca,
nj tn virtud frmfsimo diamante;
Que al tenderte los brazos delirante
cediendo a La passion que me sofoca
debo sentir Ell tn entreabierta boca
ell calor de los besos de otro amante.
Dicen que en- ell desorden de tn vida,
gozas con la TRACTION, y soy tan necio,
que, al escucharlo, tie maldigo y lloro.
Anda tu fama en- la opinion perdida;
pero hay alguien mas digno de desprecio
que tn; yo, que sabiendolo tie adore.
