Victor Hugo includes a proto-parody of the Aznar view of the current state of Spanish politics in his Spanish adventure, Ruy Blas:
Un tas de nains difformes
Se taillent des pourpoints dans ton manteau de roi;
Et l’aigle impérial, qui, jadis, sous ta loi,
Couvrait le monde entier de tonnerre et de flamme,
Cuit, pauvre oiseau plumé, dans leur marmite infâme!
Se taillent des pourpoints dans ton manteau de roi;
Et l’aigle impérial, qui, jadis, sous ta loi,
Couvrait le monde entier de tonnerre et de flamme,
Cuit, pauvre oiseau plumé, dans leur marmite infâme!
In Googlish:
A deformed heap of dwarves
Cuts pourpoints in your coat of king;
And the imperial eagle, which, formerly, under your law,
Covered the whole world of thunder and flame,
Cuit, poor plucked bird, in their infamous pot!
Cuts pourpoints in your coat of king;
And the imperial eagle, which, formerly, under your law,
Covered the whole world of thunder and flame,
Cuit, poor plucked bird, in their infamous pot!
