by Pédro Calderón de la Barca y Henao (1600 - 1681)

Érase cierto Sampayo
Language: Spanish (Español) 
Chispa:
 "Érase cierto Sampayo
 la flor de los andaluces,
 el jaque de mayor porte,
 y el jaque de mayor lustre;
 éste, pues, a la Chillona
 topó un día..."

Rebolledo:
                 No le culpen
 la fecha, que el consonante
 quiere que haya sido en lunes.

Chispa:
 "Topó, digo, a la Chillona,
 que, brindando entre dos luces,
 ocupaba con el Garlo
 la casa de los azumbres.
 El Garlo, que siempre fue
 en todo lo que le cumple
 rayo de tejado abajo,
 porque era rayo sin nube,
 sacó la espada, y a un tiempo
 un tajo y revés sacude."
