Commentary Reference to one of the mad tales; when a licentiate is going to be released from the madhouse of Sevilla, confesses to a chaplain: "No tenga vuestra merced pena, señor mío, ni haga caso de lo que este loco ha dicho, que si él es Júpiter y no quisiere llover, yo, que soy Neptuno, el padre y el dios de las aguas, lloveré todas las veces que se me antojare y fuere menester" (1:2).
The figure of the licentiate (see his gesture) is especially well-resolved.
