At this period the meaning of "contralto" may possibly not have clearly denoted a female rather than a male voice.

Spanish text
Pues a sus luces bellas
sombras son del incendio las centellas,
suba el fuego propicio
a ceñir el amante sacrificio,
que la fe que le inflama
hoy tributa al incendio de esa llama.
Fiel la mariposa
que el incendio ama,
alma y pecho inflama
en sacro esplendor.
Porque así postrado
fervor reverente,
corone luciente
amante su ardor.
Victima sea calma que rendida,
en las llamas recobra nueva vida,
siendo fenix, que fino amante mueva,
por renacer en esa sacra gue[r]ra.
En la esfera es todo ardor,
en el orbe iluminar
su reflejo singular
que es el gozo al corazón.
Su belleza, su brillar,
obsequioso he de ensalzar
con mi voz y con mi ser,
si consigo merecer,
ser amante mi oblación.
