Vaxia la halla de todo,
Pero de Dios toda llena;
Compone sus pobres libros,
Barre contento la puerta.
Ya sobre el buxan las aves,
Y bolando le festejan,
Que del antecessor suyo
Solian set compañeras.
A buscar su porcion vienen,
Que tambien el no les niega,
Y unas le cubren los ombros,
Otras, manos y cabeza.
Alli los corcillos mansos
Le van a dar obediencia,
Y como a pedir limosna
Su portal humildes cercan
Con aquella soledad
El principiante se alegra,
Que hablando con Dios no siente
De los hombres ya la ausencia.
