But hardly had he sallied forth from the inn when it struck the curate that he was doing wrong in rigging himself out in that fashion, as it was an indecorous thing for a priest to dress himself that way even though much might depend upon it; and saying so to the barber he begged him to change dresses, as it was fitter he should be the distressed damsel, while he himself would play the squire's part, which would be less derogatory to his dignity; otherwise he was resolved to have nothing more to do with the matter, and let the devil take Don Quixote.
Mas, apenas hubo salido de la venta, cuando le vino al cura un pensamiento: que hacía mal en haberse puesto de aquella manera, por ser cosa indecente que un sacerdote se pusiese así, aunque le fuese mucho en ello; y, diciéndoselo al barbero, le rogó que trocasen trajes, pues era más justo que él fuese la doncella menesterosa, y que él haría el escudero, y que así se profanaba menos su dignidad; y que si no lo quería hacer, determinaba de no pasar adelante, aunque a don Quijote se le llevase el diablo.
