Long live the memory of Amadis and let him be imitated so far as is possible by Don Quixote of La Mancha, of whom it will be said, as was said of the other, that if he did not achieve great things, he died in attempting them; and if I am not repulsed or rejected by my Dulcinea, it is enough for me, as I have said, to be absent from her.
Viva la memoria de Amadís, y sea imitado de don Quijote de la Mancha en todo lo que pudiere; del cual se dirá lo que del otro se dijo: que si no acabó grandes cosas, murió por acometellas; y si yo no soy desechado ni desdeñado de Dulcinea del Toboso, bástame, como ya he dicho, estar ausente della.
