Lopez de Vega

A BURLESQUE OF THE FOLLOWING LINES OF LOPEZ DE VEGA.

AN IMPROMPTU.

Se a quien los leones vence
  Vence una muger hermosa,
O el de flaco avergonze,
  O ella di ser mas furiosa.
.
If the man who turnips cries,
Cry not when his father dies,
'Tis a proof, that he had rather
Have a turnip than his father.
