  Float in the blue skies ravishing.
  Thy song-of-life a joy doth bring

  That hath begun to show her bloom,
  Say, I send her greeting!

• Pero Tú, pero Tú, oh Vidente soberano del tiempo,
  Sino a Ti, oh Poeta de los poetas, Lengua de la sabiduría,
  sino Tú, oh mejor hombre, oh mejor amor,
  Oh vida perfecta en perfecta labor escrita,
  Oh Camarada de todos los hombres, Siervo, Rey o Sacerdote, --
  Qué SI o SI, qué lunar, qué defecto, qué lapsus,
  qué mínimo defecto o sombra de defecto,
  ¿Qué rumor, chismorreado por un enemigo,
  de inferencia suelta, qué falta de gracia
  Incluso en las garras de la tortura, del sueño o de la muerte...
  Oh, qué mal puedo perdonar en Ti,
  Jesús, buen Parangón, Tú Cristo de Cristal?
