"Ningun hombre se llame desdichado Aunque le siga el hado executivo, Supuesto que en Argel viva cautivo, O al remo en las galeras condenado. Ni el propio loco por furioso atado, O el que perdido llora estado altivo Ni el que á deshonra truxo el tiempo esquivo, O por necesidad á humilde estado. Sufrir qualquiera pena es fácil cosa, Que ninguna atormenta tan deveras, Que no la venza el sufrimiento tanto; Mas el que tiene la muger zelosa, Ese tiene desdicha, Argel, galeras, Locura, perdicion, deshonra y llanto."
