Que d’el estudio de las letras nasçe la immortalidad.
Ottava rhima.
Triton que es
de Neptuno trompetero
Medio hombre y medio pez, està çercado
De una serpiente que por lo postrero
Tiene su cola asida de un bocado,[1]
La Fama favoreze à el hombre entero
En letras, y pregona ansi su estado
Que le haze retumbar hasta que asombre
La tierra y mar con gloria de su nombre.
Notes:
1. The conch/trumpet represents fame, the encircling serpent eternity.
