"Look here, Sancho," said Don Quixote. "If thou art advising me to marry, in order that immediately on slaying the giant I may become king, and be able to confer favours on thee, and give thee what I have promised, let me tell thee I shall be able very easily to satisfy thy desires without marrying; for before going into battle I will make it a stipulation that, if I come out of it victorious, even I do not marry, they shall give me a portion portion of the kingdom, that I may bestow it upon whomsoever I choose, and when they give it to me upon whom wouldst thou have me bestow it but upon thee?"
-Mira, Sancho -respondió don Quijote-: si el consejo que me das de que me case es porque sea luego rey, en matando al gigante, y tenga cómodo para hacerte mercedes y darte lo prometido, hágote saber que sin casarme podré cumplir tu deseo muy fácilmente, porque yo sacaré de adahala, antes de entrar en la batalla, que, saliendo vencedor della, ya que no me case, me han de dar una parte del reino, para que la pueda dar a quien yo quisiere; y, en dándomela, ¿a quién quieres tú que la dé sino a ti?
