Don Quixote then mounted Rocinante, and the barber settled himself on his beast, Sancho being left to go on foot, which made him feel anew the loss of his Dapple, finding the want of him now. But he bore all with cheerfulness, being persuaded that his master had now fairly started and was just on the point of becoming an emperor; for he felt no doubt at all that he would marry this princess, and be king of Micomicon at least.
Luego subió don Quijote sobre Rocinante, y el barbero se acomodó en su cabalgadura, quedándose Sancho a pie, donde de nuevo se le renovó la pérdida del rucio, con la falta que entonces le hacía; mas todo lo llevaba con gusto, por parecerle que ya su señor estaba puesto en camino, y muy a pique, de ser emperador; porque sin duda alguna pensaba que se había de casar con aquella princesa, y ser, por lo menos, rey de Micomicón.
