El Cypres.
Ottava rhima.
El Cypres que d’el nombre y la figura
Los hombres muestra à tratar igualmente
Acostumbrò à cubrir la sepultura,
De los illustres, qual para la gente
De baxos suelos y de sangre escura
El apio es arbol muy mas conveniente.
Tiene la copa compuesta y hermosa,
Mas su fruta jamas fue cobdiciosa.[1]
Notes:
1. See Erasmus, Adagia, 4210 (Cyparissi fructus).
