Soneto a la soberbia

Soneto a la soberbia

La soberbia es montaña deslumbrada,
en donde el propietario es un gran necio,
y mira a sus hermanos con desprecio,
sin advertir jamás su cruel bajada.

Y caerá a pedazos su morada,
del ególatra, tonto, rudo, recio,
que se hará acreedor del vil desprecio,
su pobreza será  ya demostrada.

Quedará solitaria esa ave altiva;
espejismos sembró en la casa tierra,
no tuvo fundamento su delirio.

Aquel que de soberbia se motiva,
soportará su propia muerte y guerra;
la soledad será su vil martirio.

Sonnet to pride


Haughtiness is a dazzled mountain,

where the owner is a great fool,

and look at his brothers with contempt,

never noticing his cruel descent.


And his dwelling will fall to pieces,

the egomaniac, stupid, rude, tough,

who will be the creditor of vile contempt,

your poverty will be already demonstrated.


That haughty bird will remain lonely;

mirages sowed in the earth house,

his delirium was not founded.


He who is proud is motivated,

he will endure his own death and war;

loneliness will be his vile martyrdom.
