Hijo mío muy amado y muy tierno, cata aquí la doctrina que nos dexaron nuestro señor Yoaltecuhtli y la señora Yoaltícitl, tu padre y madre. De medio de ti corto tu ombligo. Sábete y entiende que no es aquí tu casa donde has nacido, porque eres soldado y criado, eres ave que llaman quéchol, eres ave que llaman zacuan, que eres ave y soldado del que está en todas partes. Pero esta casa donde has nacido no es sino un nido donde has nacido, es una posada donde has llegado. Es tu salida en este mundo. Aquí brotas y aquí floreces; aquí te apartas de tu madre como el pedazo de la piedra donde se corta. Ésta es tu cuna y el lugar donde reclines tu cabeza. Solamente es tu posada esta casa. Tu propria tierra otra es; en otra parte estás prometido, que es el campo donde se hacen las guerras, donde se traban las batallas.
