Link to an image of this page [G4v p104]
Que emos de yr por donde Dios nos llama.
Ottava rhima.
Adonde occurren de una sola senda
Muchos caminos, una imagen puesta
D’el dios Mercurio estā,[1] para que entienda
Qualquier qual es la via mas honesta.
A aqueste dios de flores una prenda
Tu caminante cuelga, y mira que esta
Dubdosa via engaņa nuestro tino
Si Dios no nos empone en el camino.
Notes:
1. Mercury was, among his many other functions, the god of travellers.
