This essay reveals an unpublished composition by Jerónimo de Cáncer y Velasco, illustrious poet from the XVIIth Century. Found in a manuscript of the Hispanic Society of New York, it’s an excellent example of the author’s style, specialist in plays on words. This work pertains to the genre called “jácaras” referred to the divine in which Cáncer was a real expert. Influenced by Quevedo’s “jácaras” the poet makes good use of the underworld parlance as an amusement instrument with the unknown Francisco de Asís transformed into a rogue from the XVIIth Century.
