Don Quixote observed all, and took note of all, and from what he saw and observed he concluded that the said knight must be a man of great strength, but he did not for all that give way to fear, like Sancho Panza; on the contrary, with a composed and dauntless air, he said to the Knight of the Mirrors, "If, sir knight, your great eagerness to fight has not banished your courtesy, by it I would entreat you to raise your visor a little, in order that I may see if the comeliness of your countenance corresponds with that of your equipment."
Todo lo miró y todo lo notó don Quijote, y juzgó de lo visto y mirado que el ya dicho caballero debía de ser de grandes fuerzas; pero no por eso temió, como Sancho Panza; antes, con gentil denuedo, dijo al Caballero de los Espejos: -Si la mucha gana de pelear, señor caballero, no os gasta la cortesía, por ella os pido que alcéis la visera un poco, porque yo vea si la gallardía de vuestro rostro responde a la de vuestra disposición.
