Poetry or just versification, the pieces inhaled in La Lira Argentina (1824) constitute a way of action on the way of building the Patria or native landby means of word. The dominant aesthetic in this collection is paradoxically the heritage of colonial, cult, literacy and neoclassical tradition. Nevertheless it coexists with other notes in discord with the major tone, particularly in the production of Bartolomé Hidalgo and Francisco de Paula Castañeda. As an example of the neoclassical rhetoric it is commented a sketch of the "Marcha Patriótica" de Vicente López y Planes, where it can be seen the nationema that are constructed to give account of the new political situation of reference, most of them taken from the Homeric and Virgilian tradition. Oppositely, the resting aesthetics of the Lira are studied, the one popular and citizen; the other also popular but rural. In these ones is abandoned, firstly shy, the classical rhetoric, goes on then with decision the expression of the national referent, by means mostly of popular genres, particularly as,  the cielito which rhetorical and lexical strategies denote the voice and the cultural practices of oral actors who get present in writing by the fiction of the poem. The coexistence of the dominant neoclassical aesthetic with the romantic and gauchescos outlines shows a kind of tension between the reproduction of heritage and the rhetoric innovation, in analogy with political and institutional changes.
