You must know, too, that Malambruno told me that, whenever fate provided the knight our deliverer, he himself would send him a steed far better and with less tricks than a post-horse; for he will be that same wooden horse on which the valiant Pierres carried off the fair Magalona; which said horse is guided by a peg he has in his forehead that serves for a bridle, and flies through the air with such rapidity that you would fancy the very devils were carrying him.
Es también de saber que Malambruno me dijo que cuando la suerte me deparase al caballero nuestro libertador, que él le enviaría una cabalgadura harto mejor y con menos malicias que las que son de retorno, porque ha de ser aquel mesmo caballo de madera sobre quien llevó el valeroso Pierres robada a la linda Magalona, el cual caballo se rige por una clavija que tiene en la frente, que le sirve de freno, y vuela por el aire con tanta ligereza que parece que los mesmos diablos le llevan.
