y reyes; por su tiranía miraban mucho en los que mostraban algún brío o presupción en su presencia, y por esto les avisaban y decían: "Si queréis vivir en paz entre los hombres, no mostréis presupción, porque la soberbia es muy mala, y el que la tiene no puede vivir en paz. El que se inclina y se recoge vive en paz."
\nEsta letra quiere decir: "Los que roen las uñas y los que traen las manos al cuello." Por metáfora se dice de los pobres hambrientos y muy necesitados. Decían desta manera: "Haz misericordia con los huérfanos y con los pobres que andan muertos de hambre y ruyendo sus uñas. Traen las manos cruzadas delante los pechos por la grande inopia, y andan demandando de puerta en puerta."
\nEsta letra quiere decir: "Eres malcriado y maldisciplinado y mal mirado." Esto se dice de los tochos y bobos y malcriados, por vía de reprensión: "¿Es posible que tu padre y tu madre no te doctrinaron? ¿No te enseñaron cómo has de vivir?"
