Que en el matrimonio se requiere reverencia.
Ottava rhima.
Quando de Venus en furor se ençiende
La bivora y se allega à la ribera
Pidiendo con silvar lo que pretende
A la Muręna faz’ [=haz’]
salir à
fuera [M]
Que con presteça da lo que ya entiende
Mostrando à los casados la manera
Como à de ser el thalamo tratado
Con animo de entrambos conçertado.[1]

1. For the mating of the viper with the moray eel, see Pliny, Natural History 9.39.76; Aelian, De natura animalium 1.50; 9.66. The viper spits out the poison in order to be gentle and safe for the union.
