Que la desventura siempre està aparejada.
Ottava rhima.
De tres donzellas que echavan en suerte
qual se avia de morir d’ellas primero,
Aquella à quien cayò
señal de muerte
Burlavase del juego verdadero.
Mas la Fortuna que en el caso fuerte
Jamas se engaña, luego de ligero
Con un ladrillo que cayò la mata.
El bien no viene, el mal no se dilata.[1]
