enojo. Recogelda ya dentro de vuestro pecho para que no haga mas daño. Descanse ya y recójase ya vuestro coraje y vuestro enojo, que a la verdad de la muerte no se pueden escapar ni huir para ninguna parte. Debemos tributo a la muerte, y sus vasallos somos cuantos vivimos en el mundo, y este tributo todos le pagan a la muerte. Nadie dexará de seguir a la muerte, que es vuestro mensajero, a la hora que fuere enviada, que esta muerte tiene hambre y sed de tragar a cuantos hay en el mundo y es tan poderosa que nadie se le podrá escapar. Entonces todos serán castigados conforme a sus obras.
\n¡Oh, señor piadosísimo, a lo menos apiadaos y habed misericordia de los niños que están en las cunas y de los niños que aún no saben andar ni tienen otro oficio sino burlarse con las pedrecillas, y hacer montoncillos de tierra! Habed también misericordia, señor de los pobres misérrimos que no tienen qué comer ni con qué cubrirse ni en qué dormir, ni saben qué cosa es un día bueno. Todos sus días pasan con dolor y aflicción y tristeza. No convendría, señor, que os olvidásedes de haber misericordia de los soldados y hombres de guerra que en algún tiempo los habréis menester, y mejor será que muriendo en la guerra vayan a la casa del Sol y allí sirvan de comida y bebida, que no que mueran desta pestilencia y vayan al Infierno.
\n¡Oh, señor valerosísimo, amparador de todos y señor de la tierra y gobernador del mundo y señor de todos! Baste ya el pasatiempo y contento que habéis tomado en el castigo que está hecho.
