Que à las vezes caen los que alto
contemplan.
Ottava rhima.
Mientras los tordos con la liga engaña
Y las alondras con sottil pihuela,
Y mientras tira y piensa con la caña
Heryr la grulla que por alto buela,
Pisò à la sierpe que con la sed daña [M]
De lo que el caçador no se
reçela,
Mas muere como aquel que en alto mira
Y del çercano mal no se
retira.[1]
