La Amistad que dura aun despues
de la muerte.[1]

Ottava rhima.

A’l olmo[2] viejo seco y sin verdura
La parra fresca y verde entretexida
Es encubierto exemplo en tal figura
Que al’ amistad durable nos conbida.
Pues no es perfetto amor el que no dura
A l’ menos hasta el yr de aquesta vida.
Bueno serą buscar amigos tales
Que quedos siempre esten į nuestros males.

Notes:

1.  See Erasmus’ famous variations on this theme in De copia (CWE 24. pp. 354-64).

2.  In ancient Italy young vines were often supported by elm trees. See Vergil, Georgics 1.2.
