La vigilancia y la guarda.
Ottava rhima.
Por que el velador gallo nos avisa
Antes que venga el dia, y nos recuerda:
Asientanle en las torres por divisa
De vigilanēia que d’el sueńo acuerda.
Y en las entradas de la iglesia ą guisa
De diligente guarda y jamas lerda
Estą el leon (mas quien
querrą creerme)
Que los ojos abiertos siempre duerme.[1]
Notes:
1. See Isidore, Etymologiae, 12.2.5: when lions are asleep, their eyes remain awake. See also Aelian, De natura animalium, 5.39.
