Having thus fed him with boiled meat and broth, I was resolved to feast him the next day by roasting a piece of the kid: this I did by hanging it before the fire on a string, as I had seen many people do in England, setting two poles up, one on each side of the fire, and one across the top, and tying the string to the cross stick, letting the meat turn continually.
Lo preparé del mismo modo que lo había visto hacer a mucha gente en Inglaterra. Colgué el cabrito de una cuerda junto al fuego, clavé dos estacas, una a cada lado del fuego, y, apoyada entre ambas, coloqué una tercera estaca, alrededor de la cual até la cuerda para que la carne diera vueltas constantemente.
