Abstract
The article examines how the poetic voice operates in one of the odes dedicated by Fray Luis to his friend Pedro Portocarrero. It focuses on three aspects. First, the structure of the reasoned argument that the voice presents. Second, the combination in the voice of two literary traditions, one classical, the other biblical, and how this synthesis influences the definition of true virtue that the poem celebrates. Third, the biographical context of the voice and the question of its tone, which here, as in many poems by Fray Luis, is not easy to gauge.
