Contra la victoria ganada por engaño.

Ottava rhima.

Sobre la tumba triste y desdichada
De Aiax llorando rasgo mis cabellos
Yo misera Virtud, ya desterrada
D’entre los hombres, que ya soy entr’ellos
(Aun siendo el Griego juez)[1] abandonada
Del engañoso engaño, que sobrellos
Dominio tiene atanto, que mi nombre
Apenas es oído de algun hombre.

Notes:

1.  The Greek assembly awarded the arms of the dead Achilles to the cunning and eloquent Ulysses, not the brave and straight-forward Ajax. For Ajax’ subsequent suicide, see [A49a038].
