La fuerza de la Naturaleza.[1]

SONETO.

A'l Pan por dios (digo à Naturaleza)
Tuvieron los Gentiles figurado
Medio cabron y hombre, y an notado
El ser de la Natura en su çerteza.
Link to an image of this page  Link to an image of this page  [P5r p233] Es hombre d’el ombligo à la cabeza,
Porque del coraçon es levantado
El entender, y despues sublimado
En el cerebro adquiere su destreza.
Es lo de mas cabron, porque Natura
Multiplica con el ayuntamiento
Los hombres, aves, peçes y animales.
Y ansi el cabron declara la mistura
Que nos es con los brutos, y el assiento
De la razon nos haze divinales.

Notes:

1.  The woodcut used here is also used in ‘La luxuria’ [[A49a174]], but not that found in three emblems in the French editions of 1549. See [[FALb066]], [[FALb091]] and [[FALb115]].
