And so, senor, let your goodness reinstate the father that begot me in your good opinion, and be assured that he was a wise and prudent man, since by his craft he found out such a sure and easy way of remedying my misfortune; for I believe, senor, that had it not been for you I should never have lit upon the good fortune I now possess; and in this I am saying what is perfectly true; as most of these gentlemen who are present can fully testify.
Así que, señor mío, vuestra bondad vuelva la honra al padre que me engendró, y téngale por hombre advertido y prudente, pues con su ciencia halló camino tan fácil y tan verdadero para remediar mi desgracia; que yo creo que si por vos, señor, no fuera, jamás acertara a tener la ventura que tengo; y en esto digo tanta verdad como son buenos testigos della los más destos señores que están presentes.
