| Back | "Art thou come, by chance, cruel basilisk of these mountains, to see if in thy presence blood will flow from the wounds of this wretched being thy cruelty has robbed of life; or is it to exult over the cruel work of thy humours that thou art come; or like another pitiless Nero to look down from that height upon the ruin of his Rome in embers; or in thy arrogance to trample on this ill-fated corpse, as the ungrateful daughter trampled on her father Tarquin's? |

| Front | -¿Vienes a ver, por ventura, ¡oh fiero basilisco destas montañas!, si con tu presencia vierten sangre las heridas deste miserable a quien tu crueldad quitó la vida? ¿O vienes a ufanarte en las crueles hazañas de tu condición, o a ver desde esa altura, como otro despiadado Nero, el incendio de su abrasada Roma, o a pisar, arrogante, este desdichado cadáver, como la ingrata hija al de su padre Tarquino? |
