To die near what one loves! expressed in a hundred different fashions, was followed by a sonnet in which one saw that this soul, parted, after atrocious torments, from the frail body in which it had dwelt for three-and-twenty years, urged by that instinct for happiness natural to everything that has once existed, would not mount to heaven to mingle with the choirs of angels as soon as it should be free, and should the dread Judgment grant it pardon for its sins; but that, more fortunate after death than it had been in life, it would go a little way from the prison, where for so long it had groaned, to unite itself with all that it had loved in this world.
Ideia eder hura: Maite denarengandik hurbil hiltzea!, ehun modu desberdinez adierazia zegoen, eta, haren osagarri, soneto bat ere bazegoen, esku berberaz idatzia. Soneto horretan, garbi ikusten zen nola, hogeita hiru urtez gorputz hauskor hartan egoitza hartu ondoren, arima, oinaze ikaragarrien ondoren, gorputzetik bereizten zen, eta, behin existitu denak berez baitu zorionerako sena, arima hura ez zen aingeruen abesbatzarekin bat egitera Zerura igoko-hori, noski, epaiketa ikaragarrian bekatuen barkamena iristen bazuen-, aitzitik, bizien artean baino askoz ere zoriontsuago baitzegoen arima hura heriotzaren ondoren, espetxe ondora joango zen, luzaroan intzirika egona zen lekutik gertura, munduan gehien maite izan zuenarekin bat egitera.
