(Verses on the death of his father)
...
What did King Don Juan? Infants of Aragon
what are they?
What was so gallant,
which was as much invention
brought?
The jousts and tournaments,
vestments, embroideries
and crests, but delusions
were they?
but what were the ages
vegetables?
What happened to the ladies,
their headdresses, their dresses,
its smells?
What made the
flames lit the fires
of amateurs?
What did that trovar, the music
agreed
harping?
What did that dance, those clothes plated
bringing?
For another, his heir,
Don Enrique, what powers reached
!
How soft, how halaguero
the world with its pleasures
was given! But see how
enemy
how contrary, how cruel was shown
;
Having been a friend,
how little hard on him
giving him!
The excessive gifts,
actual buildings full of gold, so Febres
tableware, and real
enriques
the treasury;
the trappings, horses
of its people and so is every
ornaments, where do you go
in search of him?
but what were the meadows
sprays?
As your brother innocent in his life
successor was named,
what
had such an excellent cut and how much Mr.
followed him!
But as was mortal, after death metióle
in his forge.
Oh, divine view,
when more burning fire, you threw
water!
Constable For that great, we met Master
as private, does not meet
that it is spoken, but only
saw it stuck.
His infinite treasures,
its towns and places,
his command,
but what were you crying? What were
but regrets leaving?
And the other two brothers, so prospered
masters like kings,
that large and medium
brought so subjugated to its laws that prosperity
how high was uploaded
and exalted,
what was not clear when set afire
was amata? So many excellent
Dukes, Marquises, and Counts
many men
and as we saw so powerful,
di, death, what DO Los hide
and converted? And its clear
deeds they did in war and peace
,
when you, raw, enrage you, your strength
and get rid of panic.
The hosts countless
pennants, banners and flags
,
challenged castles, walls
and
defenses and barriers, the sparkling wine
deep, plated, or any other repair
,
what good is it?
that if you come angry, raisins
clear all
with your arrow.
