by José Rafael de Pombo y Rebolledo (1833 - 1912)

Juan Matachín
Language: Spanish (Español) 
¡Mírenle la estampa! 
Parece un ratón 
Que han cogido en trampa 
Con ese morrión.

Fasil, cartuchera. 
Tambor y morral, 
Tiene cuanto quiera 
Nuestro general.

Las moscas se espantan 
Así que lo ven, 
Y él mismo al mirarse 
Se asusta también.

Y a todos advierte 
Con lengua y clarín 
«¡Ay de aquel que insulte 
«A Juan Matachín!»
