Que el que en mal anda en tal acaba.
Ottava rhima.
Llevava à un escorpion un cuervo assido,
Don conveniente a su gula atrevida,
Porque de su mortal veneno herido
(Como lo mereçiò)
perdiò la vida.
O caso digno de ser bien reido,
Que con la muerte que està aperçebida
Para otro, muere aquel quela apercibe,
Y por su proprio mal mas mal
recibe.[1]
1. This is based on Anthologia graeca 9.339. See Erasmus, Adagia 58, Cornix scorpium, where the Greek epigram is again translated.
