The Vicereine having already baptized her child, the poet offers congratulations on his birth

I have not wanted, dear Lysi, to send my felicitations for the child God has given you until you returned him to God: in your religion, señora, though your beauty engenders him, you would not want to call him yours if he does not belong to God.
