16 Divina Lysi mla My Divine Lysi 17 [44.204.164.147] Project MUSE (2024-03-19 05:41 GMT) 18 Divina Lysi mia: perdona si me atrevo a llamarte asi, cuando aun de ser tuya el nombre no merezco. Y creo, no osadia es llamarte asi, puesto que a ti te sobran rayos, si en mi pudiera haber atrevimientos. Error es de la lengua, que 10 que dice imperio del dueno, en el dominio, parezcan posesiones en el siervo. Mi rey, dice el vasallo; mi carcel, dice el preso; y el mas humilde esclavo, sin agraviarlo, llama suyo al dueno. Asi, cuando yo mia te llama, no pretendo que juzguen que eres mia, sino s610 que yo ser tuya quiero. My divine Lysi: forgive me for daring to call you mine when I'm not worthy to be called yours. I refuse to believe I've stepped out of line. If calling you mine offends you, strike me with lightning. The tongue is mistaken to say, These goods belong to the lord of the manor. The serf is the real owner. My king, says the subject. My cell, says the prisoner. It's no crime for the lowest slave to call his master his. When I say mine I don't pretend anyone thinks I own you, only that I'm hungry to be yours. 19 [44.204.164.147] Project MUSE (2024-03-19 05:41 GMT) 20 Yo te vi; pero basta: que a publicar incendios basta apuntar la causa, sin afiadir la culpa del efecto. Que mirarte tan alta, no impide a mi denuedo; que no hay Deidad segura al altivo volar del pensamiento. Y aunque otras mas merezcan, en distancia del Cielo 10 mismo dista el valle mas humilde, que el monte mas soberbio. En fin, yo de adorarte el delito confieso; si quieres castigarme, este mismo castigo sera premio. I've seen you-that's all I'll say. To expose dangerous thoughts, all you have to do is point to what started the fire. You may be on a pedestal, but you won't keep me from speaking. Even a goddess isn't safe from a mind that dares to soar. Some may be worthier than others, but low valley and exalted peak are the same distance from Heaven. Yes, I confess to the crime of adoring you. Punish me if you likepunishment from you would be a joy. 21 ...
