44 l Vesme, Alcino, que atada a la cadena... ? Look at Me, Alcino. See the Chain? 45 [3.95.233.107] Project MUSE (2024-03-19 02:26 GMT) 46 lVesme, Alcino, que atada a la cadena de Amor, paso en sus hierros aherrojada misera esclavitud, desesperada de libertad, y de consuelo ajena? l Yes de dolor y angustia el alma llena, de tan fieros tormentos lastimada, y entre las vivas llamas abrasada juzgarse por indigna de su pena? l Vesme seguir sin alma un desatino que yo misma condeno por extrafio? lVesme derramar sangre en el camino, siguiendo los vestigios de un engafio? lMuy admirado estas? lPues ves, Alcino? Mas merece la causa de mi dafio. Look at me, Alcino. See the chain? It's iron; this is how they handle slaves. It tightens if I try to move. Love did this to me-it's a life sentence. See me tortured, burned, by iron, by fire? Living flames kiss me, and I judge myself unworthy. See what I am? Twistedeven I can see it. Look at me, spilling my blood in the street hot on the scent of a lie. Surprised, Alcino? Look again: the one I'm being flayed alive for is worth even more. 1 !po .~.. t _ :..,. - . ,",'.". . . -' .' . ~ . 47 ...
