Que se à de resisitir à lo que appremia.

Ottava rhima.

Quanto de mayor carga es opprimida
La palma, tanto mas resiste y se alça
Y lleva fruta dulce y escogida.[1]
Aquesta fruta tu Christiano alcança,
Que el que paciente fuere en esta vida
Que por suffrir en la otra mas se ensalça
D’este contraste el pręmio merecido
Acançarà por el trabajo avido.

Notes:

1.  The reaction of palm to a heavy weight is mentioned in various ancient sources, e.g. Pliny, Natural History 16.81.223; Aulus Gellius, Noctes Atticae 3.6.
