Don Quixote renewed his thanks to the duchess; and having supped, retired to his chamber alone, refusing to allow anyone to enter with him to wait on him, such was his fear of encountering temptations that might lead or drive him to forget his chaste fidelity to his lady Dulcinea; for he had always present to his mind the virtue of Amadis, that flower and mirror of knights-errant.
De nuevo nuevas gracias dio don Quijote a la duquesa, y, en cenando, don Quijote se retiró en su aposento solo, sin consentir que nadie entrase con él a servirle: tanto se temía de encontrar ocasiones que le moviesen o forzasen a perder el honesto decoro que a su señora Dulcinea guardaba, siempre puesta en la imaginación la bondad de Amadís, flor y espejo de los andantes caballeros.
