Miro Celia
Miró Celia una rosa que en el prado
ostentaba feliz la pompa vana
y con afeites de carmín y grana
bañaba alegre el rostro delicado;
y dijo: Goza, sin temor del Hado
el curso breve de tu edad lozana,
pues no podrá la muerte de mañana
quitarte lo que hubieres hoy gozado.
Celia gazed at a rose in the meadow,
that was bragging its vain splendor,
and in carmin and burgundy composure
was washing joyful its delicate face;
and she said: Enjoy without fearing Fate
the short time lapse of your healthy age,
because the death that you'll face tomorrow
can't take away whatever you enjoy today.
Sor Juana Inés de la Cruz (1648-1695, MX)
