La viçiosa delicadeza.

Ottava rhima.

Muestra el Armiño la delicadeza
Viçiosa,[1] mas la causa no se dello.
Por aventura es porque en su terneza
Se halla luxuria? ò porque el tierno vello
D’el orna de las damas la belleza?
Llamaron à la Marta unos zibello,[2]
Por ser de la luxuria afęminada
(Como el Almizque) señal apropiada.

Notes:

1.  The ‘white mouse’ of the original Latin is here given as ‘armiño’ = ermine.

2.  marta / zibello, ‘civet cat’, one source of musk, an ingredient in many perfumes.
