So much business and so much business.
West to give so much excellent sugar
Peel drugs inúteis, what abelhuda

You tenho to perdoar more empenhado.

It is enough for you to go so much sin,
To embrace-you sovereign um only groan:
That to the same fault, that you have offended,
You were flattering or sorry.

Glory such a sudden prazer
You deu, as you affirm na sacra historia,

Eu sou, Senhor, a torn ovelha,
Cobrai-a; e não queirais, divine shepherd,
Losing na vossa ovelha a vossa glória.

Aged years, and tears shed in the absence of the lady to whom she wanted to bem

Ardor em firm Heart born;
pranto for beautiful olhos poured out;
fire in seas of water disfarçado;
river of neve in converted fire:
you, that em um peito you burn hidden;
you, that in a face you run unleashed;
when fire, you're imprisoned in crystals;
When glass, em chamas melted.
It is fiery, as you pass bramente,
Is it neve, how do you know how to please?
But ai, that I am loving you prudent!
Pois, to temper tyranny,
How I wanted it to be burning here,
I allowed it to look like a cold girl.

No case of Aged years, and tears shed in the absence of the lady to whom she wanted to bem, or love and seen how a luta enters a dor e a paixão.

Is this or love?

Mandai-me Senhores, hoje
that in brief features descreva
love to illustrious prospia,
e of Cupid's exploits.
I say that from clara escuma,
I say that do mar nascera,
What a paste from this d’agua
As weapons that love carries.
Or maybe a pipe bow,
maybe to mushroom,
dismissal like um maroto,
blind like uma toupeira
Is this or Love? It's like.
Is this or Cupid? Má peça.
I advise that I do not buy
Ainda that lhe achem sell
O love is finally
a pregnant with legs,
a union of bellies,
a brief tremor of arteries
Uma confusion of mouths,
a battle of veias,
um reboliço of haunches,
Quem diz outra coisa é besta.

Em E isso é or love? or writer questions or love sentiment placed in a romantic way and with mythological inspiration. He affirms that love is, a reality, a carnal event, that surrounds the prazeres da junção two bodies two lovers.

It ends, still, in an outrageous way, saying that I don't agree with him as stupid.
