Passava Amor su arco elesarmado, los ojos baxos, blando y muy modesto; dexava m'ya atras muy descuidado. Quam poco espacio pude gozar esto. Fortuna de embidiosa dixo luego: "Teneos, Amor; porque vays tam presto? Bolvio do presto a mi el niño ciego, muy enojado en versé reprehendido que no ha reprehensión do sta su fuego. Ay prados, bosques, selvas, que criastes, tan libre corazón como ere el mio, porque tan grande mal no te estorbastes.
