Que presto viene el mal y el
remedio tarde.
Ottava rhima.
Despues que Juppiter echō d’el cielo
A Atis,[1] ay gran mal en los mortales,
Que ella volando, no ay en este suelo
Cosa que no la enturbie con mill males
Tras esta las tres Litas con buen zelo
Remedian los desastres humanales.[2]
Mas no pueden hasta muy largos aņos
(Porque son cojas) soldar tantos daņos.
1. ‘Despues que Juppiter echōd’el cielo / A Atis’. See Homer, Iliad 19. 125ff.
2. ‘las tres Litas’. See Homer, Iliad 9.502ff. Ate means ‘Mischief’, Litae, ‘Prayers’. Ate was cast out of Olympus to bring harm to mankind, a personification of humans being led astray. The Litae were a personification of prayers offered in repentance.
