"Thou needst not doubt it, Sancho," replied Don Quixote, "for in the same manner, and by the same steps as I have described here, knights-errant rise and have risen to be kings and emperors; all we want now is to find out what king, Christian or pagan, is at war and has a beautiful daughter; but there will be time enough to think of that, for, as I have told thee, fame must be won in other quarters before repairing to the court.
-No lo dudes, Sancho -replicó don Quijote-, porque del mesmo y por los mesmos pasos que esto he contado suben y han subido los caballeros andantes a ser reyes y emperadores. Sólo falta agora mirar qué rey de los cristianos o de los paganos tenga guerra y tenga hija hermosa; pero tiempo habrá para pensar esto, pues, como te tengo dicho, primero se ha de cobrar fama por otras partes que se acuda a la corte.
