I thought to marry without fighting, for the girl had taken my fancy; but my scheme had a very different result, for as soon as your worship had left the castle my lord the duke had a hundred strokes of the stick given me for having acted contrary to the orders he gave me before engaging in the combat; and the end of the whole affair is that the girl has become a nun, and Dona Rodriguez has gone back to Castile, and I am now on my way to Barcelona with a packet of letters for the viceroy which my master is sending him.
Yo pensé casarme sin pelear, por haberme parecido bien la moza, pero sucedióme al revés mi pensamiento, pues, así como vuestra merced se partió de nuestro castillo, el duque mi señor me hizo dar cien palos por haber contravenido a las ordenanzas que me tenía dadas antes de entrar en la batalla, y todo ha parado en que la muchacha es ya monja, y doña Rodríguez se ha vuelto a Castilla, y yo voy ahora a Barcelona, a llevar un pliego de cartas al virrey, que le envía mi amo.
