Don Quixote as he looked at them observed, "Those two ladies were very unfortunate not to have been born in this age, and I unfortunate above all men not to have been born in theirs. Had I fallen in with those gentlemen, Troy would not have been burned or Carthage destroyed, for it would have been only for me to slay Paris, and all these misfortunes would have been avoided."
Viendo lo cual don Quijote, dijo: -Estas dos señoras fueron desdichadísimas, por no haber nacido en esta edad, y yo sobre todos desdichado en no haber nacido en la suya: encontrara a aquestos señores, ni fuera abrasada Troya, ni Cartago destruida, pues con sólo que yo matara a Paris se escusaran tantas desgracias.
