Julio, in those libraries of death
study the bodies of those bones—an assured evil;
and learn from those characters
that they form the abecedary of death!

San Ignacio de Loyola (1666)

En tantas de la muerte liberias,
Los cuerpos de esos huesos mal seguro
Estudia Julio, y en su letra advierte,
que son abecedarios de la muerte!
