"Oh, señora nieta y hija mía, paloma y doncella muy tierna y muy amada! ¿Cómo estáis? ¿Qué sentís? Gran fatiga habéis padecido. Gra trabajo habéis tenido. Gran fatiga habéis pasado. Habéis ayudado, habéis os igualado, habéis imitado a vuestra madre la señora Cihuacóatl Quilaztli. Muchas gracias hacemos a nuestro señor al presente porque ha tenido por bien que veniese y saliese a luz esta preciosa piedra, este rico quetzal. Llegado ha la uña y el cabello de nuestros señores que ya fallecieron, que ya se fueron. Brotado ha y florecido ha su planta y su generación de los señores cónsules y reyes. Salido ha, manifestádose ha la espina de maguey y la caña de humo, la cual dexaron plantada profundamente nuestros señores y reyes pasados que fueron famosos y valerosos. De vos, señora, ha coxido una piedra preciosa, de vos ha tomado un plumaxe rico nuestro hijo Quetzalcóatl.

Por ventura será la voluntad de nuestro señor que viva. O por ventura morirá él primero. Por ventura, tierno como está, hará pedazos el señor del mundo a esta
