Ex bello pax.
Peace succeeding to war
En galea, intrepidus quam miles gesserat: & quae
Saepius hostili sparsa cruore fuit.
Parta pace apibus tenuis concessit in usum
Alveoli: atque favos grataque mella gerit.
Arma procul iaceant: fas sit tunc sumere bellum:
Quando aliter pacis non potes arte frui.[1]
See here a helmet which a fearless soldier previously wore and which was often spattered with enemy blood. After peace was won, it retired to be used as a narrow hive for bees; it holds honey-combs and nice honey. - Let weapons lie far off; let it be right to embark on war only when you cannot in any other way enjoy the art of peace.
1. Cf. Anthologia graeca, 6.236, where bees nest in what were once the beaks (projections at the prow) of war-galleys.

El amor de los hijos.
Ottava rhima.
En medio d’el invierno hizo su nido
Una blanca paloma, y despojada
(Por cobijar sus huevos) del vestido
Muriņ del grave frio trespasada.[1]
Por este exemplo dobla tu gemido
Progne, y tu Colchis, se mas afrontada [M]
De tal verguenza que un ave os demuestre
Quan grande amor la madre a’l hijo preste.[2]
[Marginalia - link to text]Golondrina y Medea
