Dilo tu, amor, si lo viste;
¡Mas ay! que de lastimado
Diste otro nudo á la venda,
Para no ver lo que ha pasado.
I am sorry to find so poor a conceit deforming so spirited a
composition as this old ballad, but I have preserved it in the
version. It is one of those extravagances which afterward became so
common in Spanish poetry, when Gongora introduced the _estilo culto_,
as it was called.
