Analysis of Desmayarse
Lope de Vega 1562 (Madrid) – 1635 (Madrid)
Desmayarse, atreverse, estar furioso,
áspero, tierno, liberal, esquivo,
alentado, mortal, difunto, vivo,
leal, traidor, cobarde y animoso:
no hallar fuera del bien centro y reposo,
mostrarse alegre, triste, humilde, altivo,
enojado, valiente, fugitivo,
satisfecho, ofendido, receloso:
huir el rostro al claro desengaño,
beber veneno por licor süave,
olvidar el provecho, amar el daño:
creer que el cielo en un infierno cabe;
dar la vida y el alma a un desengaño,
¡esto es amor! quien lo probó lo sabe.
