SONNET
CONSTANT LOVE
Explicación de la firmeza del verdadero amor
Before the sky will lack stars,
Dangers to the sea, birds to the wind,
to the sun its radiance and movement,
and bright sparks in the blazing fire;
before to the field beautiful productions,
to the mount horror, to plain recreation,
clumsy envies of merit,
and to the not admitted love sad quarrels;
before its flowers to spring,
the inclement burning in the summer,
in the autumn, flattering abundance,
and to the chilly winter ice and cold,
let him give a point of his first faith,
the less my love is missing.
Vicente García de la Huerta
