Sancho Panza, seeing his master treated in this fashion, attacked the madman with his closed fist; but the Ragged One received him in such a way that with a blow of his fist he stretched him at his feet, and then mounting upon him crushed his ribs to his own satisfaction; the goatherd, who came to the rescue, shared the same fate; and having beaten and pummelled them all he left them and quietly withdrew to his hiding-place on the mountain.
Sancho Panza, que de tal modo vio parar a su señor, arremetió al loco con el puño cerrado; y el Roto le recibió de tal suerte que con una puñada dio con él a sus pies, y luego se subió sobre él y le brumó las costillas muy a su sabor. El cabrero, que le quiso defender, corrió el mesmo peligro.
