by Francisco Gómez de Quevedo y Santibáñez Villegas (1580 - 1645)

Que vos me permitáis sólo pretendo
Language: Spanish (Español) 
Que vos me permitáis sólo pretendo,
y saber ser cortés y ser amante;
esquivo los deseos, y constante,
sin pretensión, a sólo amar atiendo.

Ni con intento de gozar ofendo
las deidades del garbo y de semblante;
no fuera lo que vi causa bastante,
si no se le añadiera lo que entiendo.

Llamáronme los ojos las facciones;
prendiéronlos eternas jerarquías
de virtudes y heroicas perfecciones.

No verán de mi amor el fin los días:
la eternidad ofrece sus blasones
a la pureza de las ansías mías.
