Que mal se logra lo mal ganado.[1]

TERCETOS.

Un comedor milano vomitava
Aquello de que antes se avia enchido,[2]
Y que echava sus tripas se quexava.
Amansale su madre aquel quexido
Diziendo que porque suyas pensava
Las tripas ser que de otro avia comido.

Notes:

1.  The title is proverbial. See Cicero, Philippics, 2.65.

2.  The kite was a figure of greed and extortion.
