«Pues amarga la verdad
quiero echarla de la boca
pues si a el alma su hiel toca
esconderla es necedad.
Sépase, pues, libertad
ha engendrado en mi pereza
la Pobreza».
“For the truth is bitter
I want to throw it out of my mouth
for if its gall touches the soul
to hide it is foolishness.
Let it be known, then, that freedom
has engendered in my laziness
Poverty."
Letrilla satírica VIII, Tomo II, p. 256, 1772.
~Francisco de Quevedo, (14 September 1580 – 8 September 1645)
