como de una mujer que andaba llorando y decía desta manera: "Oh, hijos míos! Ya estamos a punto de perdernos". Otras veces decía: "¡Oh, hijos míos! ¿A dónde os llevaré?"
\nEl séptimo agüero fue que los pescadores o cazadores del agua tomaron en sus redes un ave del tamaño y color de una grulla, la cual tenía en medio de la cabeza un espejo. Esta ave fue nunca vista, y así lo tuvieron por milagro. Y luego la llevaron a Motecuzoma, que estaba en su palacio, en una sala que llaman Tlillan Calmécac. Esto era después de medio día. Y Motecuzoma miró al ave y miró al espejo que tenía en la cabeza, el cual era redondo y muy polido. Y mirando en él vio las estrellas del cielo, los Mastelejos que ellos llaman mamalhuaztli. Y Motecuzoma espantóse desto, y apartó la vista, haciendo semblante de espantado. Y tornando a mirar al espejo que estaba en la cabeza del ave, vio en él gente de a caballo, que venían todos juntos en gran tropel, todos armados. Y viendo esto se espantó más. Y luego envió a llamar a los adivinos y astrólogos y a los sabios en cosa de agüeros, y preguntólos: "Qué es esto que aquí me ha parecido? ¿Qué quiere decir?" Y estando así todos espantados, desapareció el ave, y todos que[daron]
