"Well, then, you must know, sister, that a knight-adventurer is a thing that in two words is seen drubbed and emperor, that is to-day the most miserable and needy being in the world, and to-morrow will have two or three crowns of kingdoms to give his squire."
Pues sabed, hermana mía, que caballero aventurero es una cosa que en dos palabras se ve apaleado y emperador. Hoy está la más desdichada criatura del mundo y la más menesterosa, y mañana tendría dos o tres coronas de reinos que dar a su escudero.
