Burlesque Of Some Lines Of Lopez De Vega

________________________________________________
Title:     Burlesque Of Some Lines Of Lopez De Vega
Author: Samuel Johnson [More Titles by Johnson]

AN IMPROMPTU.

Se a quien los leones vence
Vence una muger hermosa,
O el de flaco avergonze,
O ella di ser mas furiosa.

If the man who turnips cries,
Cry not when his father dies,
'Tis a proof, that he had rather
Have a turnip than his father.






[The end]
