In una breve felicità.

On brief happiness.


A gourd growing around a pine tree.

Crebbe la zucca a tanta altezza, ch’ella
A un’altissimo pin passò la cima;
E mentre abbraccia in questa parte e in quella
I rami suoi superba oltre ogni stima:
Il Pin sen rise, e a lei cosi favella,
Breve è la gloria tua: perche non prima
Verrà il verno di nevi & ghiaccio cinto,
Che fia ogni tuo vigor del tutto estinto.

Que la bienaventurança d’esta vida no
dura mas de un momento.

Ottava rhima.

Gourd growing round a pine tree.
[Click on image to enlarge]

Creçiò una calabaza à tanta altura,
Que se ençimò à la cumbre de un gran pino
Y de ver su verdor, tan gran locura
Y vanagloria à su pensar la vino
Que pensò ser la principal criatura.
Mas esta gloria no serà contino
(Dixola el pino) que vernà el invierno
Que seque tu verdor caduco y tierno.
