When we were collected together we debated whether it would be better first to go for Zoraida, or to make prisoners of the Moorish rowers who rowed in the vessel; but while we were still uncertain our renegade came up asking us what kept us, as it was now the time, and all the Moors were off their guard and most of them asleep.
Como estuvimos juntos, dudamos si sería mejor ir primero por Zoraida, o rendir primero a los moros bagarinos que bogaban el remo en la barca. Y, estando en esta duda, llegó a nosotros nuestro renegado diciéndonos que en qué nos deteníamos, que ya era hora, y que todos sus moros estaban descuidados, y los más dellos durmiendo.
