[Footnote 146: #lo que fué#, _the past_.]

[Footnote 147: #Tan mal como tú hiciste#, _as well as you did badly._]

[Footnote 148: #que hicieron#, _which was done_. The third person plural is sometimes used with an indefinite subject to replace the English passive.]

[Footnote 149: #para que no salga de los tres#, _so that it may never go farther than us three_.]

[Footnote 154: #si se han sentado tres curas#, _¿qué remedio hay?_ It seems that a true apodosis is to be supplied here. The phrase two lines above, #¡Si no lo hay!# illustrates the transition stage, in which the apodosis is more vague, and _si_ is best rendered 'but'.]

[Footnote 164: _Pasan veinte años_, etc. This is Campoamor's _Dolora_ number XLIII, entitled _Cosas del tiempo_. It is quoted here in its entirety. _Mañana de sol_ is hardly more than a genial expansion of this tiny poem.]
