la bebida." Dícese por metáfora del que por alguna tristeza ni come ni bebe ni duerme ni se quiere alegrar. A este tal, consolándole sus amigos, dícenle: "No dexéis la comida ni la bebida. Alegraos, comed y bebed y dormid, porque no cayáis en alguna emfermedad de que no os puedan remediar."
\nEsta letra quiere decir: "La noche o obscuridad, y el que se transfigura en diversas formas". Por metáfora quiere decir: "El dios Tezcatlipuca, o por mejor decir Diablo, ¿por ventura hablaros ha como persona? Y Huitzilopuchtli, ¿hablaros ha como persona? No es posible, sino como aire, y toma figura de obscuridad."
\nDice esta letra: "Resbalan y deslízanse muchos en presencia del trono y del estrado, y nadie se escapa." Por metáfora quiere decir: "El que caye en la ira del señor o rey no se puede escapar de sus manos."
\nEsta letra quiere decir: "Vive pacíficamente y muy humilmente; inclínate y recógete entre los otros." Ésta era exhortación de los pilles y nobles con que los avisaban para que mostrasen toda humildad y subjección delante los principales señores
