But in spite of this, Don Quixote did not leave off discharging a continuous rain of cuts, slashes, downstrokes, and backstrokes, and at length, in less than the space of two credos, he brought the whole show to the ground, with all its fittings and figures shivered and knocked to pieces, King Marsilio badly wounded, and the Emperor Charlemagne with his crown and head split in two.
Mas no por esto dejaba de menudear don Quijote cuchilladas, mandobles, tajos y reveses como llovidos. Finalmente, en menos de dos credos dio con todo el retablo en el suelo, hechas pedazos y desmenuzadas todas sus jarcias y figuras: el rey Marsilio, mal herido, y el emperador Carlomagno, partida la corona y la cabeza en dos partes.
