Of all that were there Sancho was the only one who was at once in his senses and in his own proper character, and he, though he was within very little of sharing his master's infirmity, did not fail to perceive who all these disguised figures were; but he did not dare to open his lips until he saw what came of this assault and capture of his master; nor did the latter utter a word, waiting to the upshot of his mishap; which was that bringing in the cage, they shut him up in it and nailed the bars so firmly that they could not be easily burst open.
Sólo Sancho, de todos los presentes, estaba en su mesmo juicio y en su mesma figura; el cual, aunque le faltaba bien poco para tener la mesma enfermedad de su amo, no dejó de conocer quién eran todas aquellas contrahechas figuras; mas no osó descoser su boca, hasta ver en qué paraba aquel asalto y prisión de su amo, el cual tampoco hablaba palabra, atendiendo a ver el paradero de su desgracia; que fue que, trayendo allí la jaula, le encerraron dentro, y le clavaron los maderos tan fuertemente que no se pudieran romper a dos tirones.
