Don Quixote was present at the entrance of the Judge with the young lady, and as soon as he saw him he said, "Your worship may with confidence enter and take your ease in this castle; for though the accommodation be scanty and poor, there are no quarters so cramped or inconvenient that they cannot make room for arms and letters; above all if arms and letters have beauty for a guide and leader, as letters represented by your worship have in this fair maiden, to whom not only ought castles to throw themselves open and yield themselves up, but rocks should rend themselves asunder and mountains divide and bow themselves down to give her a reception.
Hallóse don Quijote al entrar del oidor y de la doncella, y, así como le vio, dijo: -Seguramente puede vuestra merced entrar y espaciarse en este castillo, que, aunque es estrecho y mal acomodado, no hay estrecheza ni incomodidad en el mundo que no dé lugar a las armas y a las letras, y más si las armas y letras traen por guía y adalid a la fermosura, como la traen las letras de vuestra merced en esta fermosa doncella, a quien deben no sólo abrirse y manifestarse los castillos, sino apartarse los riscos, y devidirse y abajarse las montañas, para dalle acogida.
