Body o' me! if the historians would only say, 'Such and such a knight finished such and such an adventure, but with the help of so and so, his squire, without which it would have been impossible for him to accomplish it;' but they write curtly, "Don Paralipomenon of the Three Stars accomplished the adventure of the six monsters;' without mentioning such a person as his squire, who was there all the time, just as if there was no such being.
Aun si dijesen los historiadores: "El tal caballero acabó la tal y tal aventura, pero con ayuda de fulano, su escudero, sin el cual fuera imposible el acabarla". Pero, ¡que escriban a secas: "Don Paralipomenón de las Tres Estrellas acabó la aventura de los seis vestiglos", sin nombrar la persona de su escudero, que se halló presente a todo, como si no fuera en el mundo!
