Sancho regarded Don Quixote earnestly while he was giving him this rating, and was so touched by remorse that the tears came to his eyes, and in a piteous and broken voice he said to him, "Master mine, I confess that, to be a complete ass, all I want is a tail; if your worship will only fix one on to me, I'll look on it as rightly placed, and I'll serve you as an ass all the remaining days of my life.
Miraba Sancho a don Quijote de en hito en hito, en tanto que los tales vituperios le decía, y compungióse de manera que le vinieron las lágrimas a los ojos, y con voz dolorida y enferma le dijo: -Señor mío, yo confieso que para ser del todo asno no me falta más de la cola; si vuestra merced quiere ponérmela, yo la daré por bien puesta, y le serviré como jumento todos los días que me quedan de mi vida.
