La piedad de los hijos para con
los padres.
SEMIOTTAVA.
Dezia Eneas,
quando por consejo
De Hector con su padre hizo desvio,
Quan poca gloria os es vencer à un viejo
Tanta es librar a’l padre el hijo
pio.[1]
1. This is based on Anthologia graeca 9.163, a much translated epigram. It refers to the celebrated incident of Aeneas’ rescue of his old father at the sack of Troy, carrying him on his shoulders through the occupied and burning city. See Vergil, Aeneid 2.634ff.
