The splendor of the magnificent full
Oh Rose, you're the source of admiration.
Was nature at its birth
You are in purple and carmine dressed.
So be happy until you are given
Alas, not a long flowering time!
Let death come, but pleasure,
What you eat does not take away it!
It will break your hand dispassionate,
But imagine yourself to be, you happy,
That die young and beautiful.
Juana Ines de la Cruz.
