agudeza de su ingenio por el humo
rismo mortificante y severe de sus
frases que, con la causticidad de una
critica bien dirigida, fagelaban el ros
tro del burlon del blasfemo que Sc
atrevia mofarse del honrado trabaja
dor que llevaba
"El rostro macilento, el cuerpo
faco,
Fran recuerdos del trabajo hon
(roso,
Y honra y provecho andaban en-
(un saco"
Entire sus obras satiricas mas i'm
portantes estan Los SueHos, La Ctdo
del gran TacaHo, La hora dc todos d
La Fortuna con .SeBO.
Fue un gran preceptista, y como
tai escribio Ia PoNtica de Dios y 90
bierno de Cristo, que servia de guia a
los reyes. En- sus pcnsamientos Sc di-
rigia al joven que busca 10 rosa, 10
azul, diciendole: "No debemos consen
tir en- nosotros nj en- los demas las
tinieblas del error Ia ignorancia !;
y a hombre de rostro grave y mirada
