Can someone translate this? It's from the preface to a book by Jose Faur.

Quando no es lo que quiero,
Quiera yo lo que es;
Si pesar he primero,
Plazer avre despues.
-R. Santob de Carrion.
Proverbios Morales

Thanks. LAGoff

Santob de Carrion - Moral Proverbs

My translation:

When this is not what I want,
I really want it to be.
I will first have my sorrow
and later on the pleasure.

I haven't read anything about Santob and I strongly believe that the Spanish version that you posted is incorrect. Nonetheless, if it's alright this translation will be extremely helpful to you.

Regards.
