  19. Yo vi en Salamanca la obra presente; mouime a acabarla por estas razones, es la primera, que esto en vacaciones; la otra que oy su inuentor ser sciente: y es la final, ver ya la mas gente buelta y mezclada en vicios de amor; estos amantes les pornan temor a fiar de alcahueta, ni de mal siruiente. Y assi que esta obra a mi flaco entender fue tanto breue, quanto muy sutil, vi que portaua sentencias dos mill en forro de gracias, labor de plazer: no hizo Dedalo en su officio e saber alguna mas prima entretalladura, si fin diera en esta su propia escriptura corta: vn gran hombre y de mucho valer.
