The carter at once unyoked the oxen and left them to roam at large about the pleasant green spot, the freshness of which seemed to invite, not enchanted people like Don Quixote, but wide-awake, sensible folk like his squire, who begged the curate to allow his master to leave the cage for a little; for if they did not let him out, the prison might not be as clean as the propriety of such a gentleman as his master required.
Desunció luego los bueyes de la carreta el boyero, y dejólos andar a sus anchuras por aquel verde y apacible sitio, cuya frescura convidaba a quererla gozar, no a las personas tan encantadas como don Quijote, sino a los tan advertidos y discretos como su escudero; el cual rogó al cura que permitiese que su señor saliese por un rato de la jaula, porque si no le dejaban salir, no iría tan limpia aquella prisión como requiría la decencia de un tal caballero como su amo.
