"I have said already," said the Trifaldi, "that it is with a peg, by turning which to one side or the other the knight who rides him makes him go as he pleases, either through the upper air, or skimming and almost sweeping the earth, or else in that middle course that is sought and followed in all well-regulated proceedings."
-Ya he dicho -respondió la Trifaldi- que con la clavija, que, volviéndola a una parte o a otra, el caballero que va encima le hace caminar como quiere, o ya por los aires, o ya rastreando y casi barriendo la tierra, o por el medio, que es el que se busca y se ha de tener en todas las acciones bien ordenadas.
