Always the best epitaphs to be found in books are those composed by versifiers for their own and the reading public's amusement, and always the best in the collection are the humorous ones. The first collection I ever read was by the Spanish poet, Martinez de la Rosa, and although I was a boy then, I can still remember one: Aqui Fray Diego reposa, Jamas hiso otra cosa.
and assuredly the famous quintillas beginning Aqui la envidia y mentira: these compositions were probably composed during, or after, the writer's imprisonment at Valladolid, that is to say between the spring of 1572 and the winter of 1576, when Luis de Leon was from forty-four or forty-five to forty-eight or forty-nine.

"He is here now my own attendant will do. He is below in the court you need lose no time." "No. Roblado," added the Comandante, "your horse is ready you cannot do better than go at once." "Then go I shall: your guide, padre?" "Esteban! Hola! Esteban!" cried the padre, leaning over the wall. "Aqui, Senor," answered a voice. "Sube! sube! anda!"
BRUNO. Aquí tengo la llave; pero antes reflexione usted, hija mía, la pesadumbre que va usted a dar a su padre con este escándalo ... y lo que.... DOÑA MATILDE. ¿Oyes ahora la media? DOÑA MATILDE. ¡Cómo! ¿A quién gritas? BRUNO. Nada, nada. DOÑA MATILDE. ¡Ah traidor! ya te entiendo ... pero antes que vengan a sorprendernos apelaré a mi último recurso.
To express, what a slop is here! they say acco fa lac aqui, which is a sentence composed of two Italian words, one French, and one Spanish. This is nearly the proportion in which these three languages will be found mingled in the Patois of Nice; which, with some variation, extends over all Provence, Languedoc, and Gascony.
Alas! before a woman who is cold, how mad a man must appear when desire renders him alternately angry and tender, insolent and abject, biting as an epigram and soothing as a madrigal; when he enacts with more or less sprightliness the scene where, in Venice Preserved, the genius of Orway has represented the senator Antonio, repeating a hundred times over at the feet of Aquilina: "Aquilina, Quilina, Lina, Aqui, Nacki!" without winning from her aught save the stroke of her whip, inasmuch as he has undertaken to fawn upon her like a dog.
But what can an individual soul in a world of matter actually be? Is it the rock or the mountain that is the individual? Is it the tree? And nevertheless the fact always remains that spirit and matter are at strife. This is the thought that Espronceda expressed when he wrote: Aquí, para vivir en santa calma, o sobra la materia, o sobra el alma.
Here is part of the inscription in somewhat rough Castillan, Aqui quedan las orejas de los Comprachicos, y las bolsas de los robaniños, mientras que se van ellos al trabajo de mar. You see the confiscation of ears, etc., did not prevent the owners going to the galleys. Whence followed a general rout among all vagabonds. They started frightened; they arrived trembling.
Thus, the Regency of Anne of Austria had opened under the most brilliant auspices. Entry in Carnet, iii. p. 10, in Spanish: "Sy yo creyera lo que dicen que S.M. se sierve di mi per necessidad, sin tener alguna inclination, no pararia aqui tres dias."
The sun, which rose that morning on a proud army and a defiant metropolis, set at even on a shattered, haggard band, and a city full of woe-stricken wretches who did nothing all night but quake with terror, and cry, at every noise, "Aqui viene los Yanquies!"
