According to his satirical wife, this soldier earns nothing, goes to Mass, stands gossiping at the Guadalajara Gate, comes home to dinner at two, spends the afternoon and evening gambling, and returns at midnight, when he has supper, if there is any, makes the sign of the Cross, yawns, and goes to bed, where he tosses composing a sonnet, for he is a poet...
