Que se à de agradeçer la buena obra.
Ottava rhima.
Insigne en la piedad en alto nido
Sus chicos pollos la cigueña cria
Esp’rando en [=un]
galardon bien mereçido
De aquella casta agradeçida è pia.
Y no se engaña, que jamas olvido
Del agradecimiento uvo en tal cria,
Antes a la vejez el hijo a’l padre
Torna à criar, y la hija a la
madre.[1]
Notes:
1. See Pliny, Natural History 10.32.63: cranes care for their parents’ old age in their turn. See also Aelian, De natura animalium 3.23.
