Juan Ruiz

Juan Ruiz (ca. 1283 – ca. 1350), known as the Archpriest of Hita (Arcipreste de Hita), was a medieval Castilian poet. He is best known for his ribald, earthy poem, Libro de buen amor (The Book of Good Love).

Biography

Origins

He was born either in Alcalá de Henares. Little is known about him today, save that he was a cleric and probably studied in Toledo. Though his birth name is known to be Juan Ruiz, he is widely referred to by his title of "archpriest of Hita."

Imprisonment

According to his own book, he was imprisoned for years, thought to be between 1337 to 1350, as punishment for some of his deeds (if the poem is any guide, they were quite inconsistent with his position as priest). However, the poem has long been considered as pseudo-autobiography and the verses that mention his imprisonment appear at the end of the book and are generally thought to have been added after the fact. One of his poems states that he was imprisoned on the order of Gil Albornoz, An Archbishop of Toledo. It is not known whether he was sentenced for his irregularities of conduct, or on account of his satirical reflections on his ecclesiastical superiors. Nor is it possible to fix the precise date of his imprisonment. Albornoz nominally occupied the see of Toledo from 1337 to 1368, but he fell into disgrace in 1351 and fled to Avignon. A consideration of these circumstances points to the probable conclusion that Ruiz was in prison from 1337 to 1350, but this is conjecture. What seems established is that he finished the Libro de buen amor in 1343. Indeed, almost nothing is known about the author(s) of the poem or if he was even named Juan Ruiz. One scholarly study found hundreds of clerics in mid-fourteenth-century Castile named Juan Ruiz. The name appears to be the equivalent of John Smith and may have been chosen to represent everyman.

I'm into winning it and I can do anything,
That's what real champs do, they just pretending it.
You starting now I'm finishing, everything is simple when,
You get past the struggle, use your muscle then you win again.
Ain't nobody stopping this, they prolly just jocking this,
Why they steady hating I should tell you put a sock in it.
I remember back when I felt I wasn't cool enough,
Now look at your boy (laughter) ain't I cool or what?

Looks as if you sitting still, you say that you prevailing how?
Hard in the paint, if I'm in anything I tear it down.
Trust me I'm the best, if not then I'm the next
And I ain't settling for second I'm a knock them out there nest.
I ain't playing man, feels like I'm weighing in,
Where's my heavyweight belt? Everyday I play to win.
That's how you got to do it when you feel like there's somewhere that you need to go,
It's on you, hustle hard, one day you gone be the show.
Stop saying that you need a show, be the show,
And every time you do it make sure everybody see the show.
