guerra. Parece que se quieren regocijar el Sol y el dios de la tierra, llamado Tlaltecuhtli. Quieren dar de comer y de beber a los dioses del Cielo y del Infierno, haciéndolos convite con sangre y carne de los hombres que han de morir en esta guerra. Ya están a la mira los dioses del Cielo y del Infierno para ver quiénes son los que han de vencer y quiénes son los que han de ser vencidos, quiénes son los que han de matar y quiénes son los que han de ser muertos, cuya sangre ha de ser bebida, cuya carne ha de ser comida. De lo cual están ignorantes los padres y madres nobles cuyos hijos han de morir. Asimismo lo ignoran todos sus parientes y afines y las amas que los criaron cuando niños y los dieron la leche con que los criaron, por los cuales sus padres padecieron muchos trabajos buscándolos las cosas necesarias de comer y beber y vestir y calzar hasta ponerlos en la edad en que agora están. Ciertamente no adivinaban el fin que habían de haber los hijos que con mucho trabajo criaron, o si habían de ser captivos, o si habían de ser muertos en el campo.
\nTened otrosí por bien, ¡oh señor nuestro! Que los nobles que murie[sen]
