by Garcilaso de la Vega
Do not lose more who has lost so much,
enough, love, what has happened to me;
good for me, I have never tried
to defend me from what you have wanted.
I have dressed your temple and its walls
of my wet clothes and adorned,
as it happens to who has already escaped
Free from the storm in which I was seen
I had sworn never to get in again,
at my power and my consent,
in another such danger, as vain.
But what comes I will not be able to use;
and in this I do not go against the oath;
that it is neither like the others nor in my hand.
