| 總結: | Rhythmica sacra, moral y laudatoria [Sacred, moral and laudatory rhythmics] (1703), by Álvarez de
Velasco y Zorrilla, is a unique Neogranadian document that studies the diverse expressions of laughter
in Colonial poetry. Firstly, we show the exclusion of laughter in the “high culture”, and the consequent
writing of non-burlesque satires. As a side objective, in these poems we also analyze the creole appropriation of Peninsular models. Secondly, we study the works associated with religious rituals and the
persistence of laughter in the common people. Thirdly, we propose an intermediate field in the laudatory
letters to Sor Juana, where laughter becomes independent from these rituals and initiates the way to
modernity
