Que los hombres no an de ser pereçosos.
SONETO.
Oya quien de pereza salir quiere,
Mas quien ya d’ella està tan
opprimido
Que no podrà el consejo à su sentido
Dar el remedio que se le offreçiere

Vayasse à do seguir lo que quisiere
Pueda sin ser de alguno reprehendido,
Que hazer asiento en el jornal medido
Nos vieda el Samio viejo,[1] y nos requiere [M]
O tu, que estas
embuelto en la pereza
Levanta, y acostumbra al exercicio
Las manos entomidas de terneza,
No esperes à merçed ò à beneficio,
Mira que este esperar es gran bajeza
Pudiendo lo adquirir por
otro officio.
[Marginalia - link to text]Pythagoras.
1. Pythagoras's advice, which became a proverbial expression of idleness, is quoted in various ancient sources (e.g. Plutarch, De Iside et Osiride10).
