Mi querido Gonzalo: en esta carta
        quiero dar expansión al sentimiento
        que del trato común tanto me aparta.
              Y no imagines que exagero o miento;
         pienso más bien que en mi interior batallo
         temiendo dar a la calumnia aliento.
              Dirán que en todo imperfecciones hallo,
         sin entender que es poco lo que sigo,
         y que es mucho y más grave lo que callo.
              Dirán que contra propios atestigo,
         que con maligno e indiscreto celo,
         a la que dio a mi cuna dulce abrigo,
               a Cuba hermosa, le desgarro el velo
         con que sus faltas encubrir procura,
         y aplico a sus entrañas mi escalpelo.
              Que es mi mano muy torpe e insegura
         y si una línea acaso me deslizo,
         muere el paciente y se acabó la cura.

               “¿Quién cirujano, me dirán, te hizo?
         “En qué universidad tomaste el gradoo,
         “que en tan poco saber se satisfizo?
              “¡Cirujano con faldas! te he pescado!
          “¡ya enseñaste la punta de la oreja!
          “¡perteneces al bando emancipado!”
               ¿Quién en la empresa, tímido no ceja,
          oyendo tan furiosas invectivas,
          y en su egoísmo vil no se aconseja?
                Tú, que la ciencia con afán cultivas,
          sabes que es bueno escudriñar la llaga,
          y no vendar sus podredumbres vivas.
              Y pues gangrena horrible nos amaga,
          descubramos de Cuba todo el seno,
          que quien más la idolatra más indaga.
