La Esperança çercana.
Ottava rhima.
De tempestad contina maltratada
Està nuestra ciudad, y
solo resta
Esp’rança de salud muy esperada,
Como la nave que en alta mar puesta
Siendo del fiero viento fatigada
Espera de sus curas sola esta,
Venir los dos
hermanos[1] de la Helena [M]
Con quien el ayre escuro se serena.
[Marginalia - link to text]Castor y Polux vulgamente sanselmo.
1. ‘The brothers of Helen’, i.e., as the Spanish side-note explains, the stars Castor and Pollux, the Dioscuri, protectors of sailors.
