y esta manera de muerte es deseada de muchos, y muchos tienen envidia a los que así mueren, y por esto todos desean esta muerte, porque los que así mueren son muy alabados. Y dícese que un mancebo generoso de Huexotzinco, el cual se llamaba Mixcóatl, murió en la guerra de los mexicanos, y ellos le mataron en la guerra. Dícese un cantar en su loor: "¡Oh, bienaventurado Mixcóatl, bien mereces ser loado con cantares, y bien mereces que tu fama viva en el mundo, y que los que bailan en los areitos de traigan en la boca, en rededor de los atabales y tamboriles de Huexotzinco, para que regocijes y aparezcas a tus amigos los nobles y generosos, tus parientes!" Síguese otro cantar1 del loor deste mancebo, en que le loan de la virginidad de limpieza y pureza de su corazón: ¡Oh, glorioso mancebo, digno de todo loor, que ofreciste tu corazón al Sol, limpio como un sartal de piedras preciosas que se llaman zafiros! Otra vez tornarás a brotar, otra vez tornarás a florecer

And this kind of death is desired by many, and many are envious of those who die like this; and this is why everyone desires this [kind of] death, because those who die like this are praised very much. And it is said that a wellborn young man from Huexotzinco, who was called Mixcoatl, died in the war against the Mexicans and that [the Mexicans] killed him in battle. A song is sung in his praise: “Oh, blessed Mixcoatl, you truly deserve to be praised with songs; and you truly deserve your fame to live in the world and for those who dance in the areitos to carry [your name] on their lips, all around the drums and tambourines of Huexotzinco, so that you may delight and appear before your noble and wellborn friends and relatives!” Here follows another song1 in praise of this young man, in which they praise him for the clean virginity and purity of his heart: “Oh, glorious young man, worthy of every praise, who offered your heart to the sun, as clean as a string of precious stones called sapphires! You will return to sprout again, you will return to blossom again
\n“Song”: cantar (LAGQ). The word cantar does not appear here in the manuscript but is marked by a symbol indicating it. See the note at LAGQ 2:572.↩
