"¿Cuál mayor culpa ha tenido En una pasión errada: La que cae de rogada, O el que ruega de caído? ¿O cuál es más de culpar, Aunque cualquiera mal haga: La que peca por la paga, O el que paga por pecar?"

In a passion that is guilty Who bears the greater blame: She who falls on being entreated Or he who falls to make entreaty? When each is guilty of sin, Which is the most to blame: She who sins for payment, Or he who pays for the sin? — fragment from "Letra de Hombres Necios Que Acusáis", translated from the Spanish by Muriel Kittel in The Defiant Muse: Hispanic Feminist Poems (1986)
