The song ended with a deep sigh, and again the listeners remained waiting attentively for the singer to resume; but perceiving that the music had now turned to sobs and heart-rending moans they determined to find out who the unhappy being could be whose voice was as rare as his sighs were piteous, and they had not proceeded far when on turning the corner of a rock they discovered a man of the same aspect and appearance as Sancho had described to them when he told them the story of Cardenio. He, showing no astonishment when he saw them, stood still with his head bent down upon his breast like one in deep thought, without raising his eyes to look at them after the first glance when they suddenly came upon him.
El canto se acabó con un profundo suspiro, y los dos, con atención, volvieron a esperar si más se cantaba; pero, viendo que la música se había vuelto en sollozos y en lastimeros ayes, acordaron de saber quién era el triste, tan estremado en la voz como doloroso en los gemidos; y no anduvieron mucho, cuando, al volver de una punta de una peña, vieron a un hombre del mismo talle y figura que Sancho Panza les había pintado cuando les contó el cuento de Cardenio; el cual hombre, cuando los vio, sin sobresaltarse, estuvo quedo, con la cabeza inclinada sobre el pecho a guisa de hombre pensativo, sin alzar los ojos a mirarlos más de la vez primera, cuando de improviso llegaron.
