He was afraid he might have dealt with his love affairs in some indecorous fashion, that might tend to the discredit and prejudice of the purity of his lady Dulcinea del Toboso; he would have had him set forth the fidelity and respect he had always observed towards her, spurning queens, empresses, and damsels of all sorts, and keeping in check the impetuosity of his natural impulses. Absorbed and wrapped up in these and divers other cogitations, he was found by Sancho and Carrasco, whom Don Quixote received with great courtesy.
Temíase no hubiese tratado sus amores con alguna indecencia, que redundase en menoscabo y perjuicio de la honestidad de su señora Dulcinea del Toboso; deseaba que hubiese declarado su fidelidad y el decoro que siempre la había guardado, menospreciando reinas, emperatrices y doncellas de todas calidades, teniendo a raya los ímpetus de los naturales movimientos; y así, envuelto y revuelto en estas y otras muchas imaginaciones, le hallaron Sancho y Carrasco, a quien don Quijote recibió con mucha cortesía.
