At length, after a night spent in bitter moanings and lamentations, day came, and by its light Sancho perceived that it was wholly impossible to escape out of that pit without help, and he fell to bemoaning his fate and uttering loud shouts to find out if there was anyone within hearing; but all his shouting was only crying in the wilderness, for there was not a soul anywhere in the neighbourhood to hear him, and then at last he gave himself up for dead.
Finalmente, habiendo pasado toda aquella noche en miserables quejas y lamentaciones, vino el día, con cuya claridad y resplandor vio Sancho que era imposible de toda imposibilidad salir de aquel pozo sin ser ayudado, y comenzó a lamentarse y dar voces, por ver si alguno le oía; pero todas sus voces eran dadas en desierto, pues por todos aquellos contornos no había persona que pudiese escucharle, y entonces se acabó de dar por muerto.
