Meanwhile the knight has taken his departure; he fights in the war, conquers the king's enemy, wins many cities, triumphs in many battles, returns to the court, sees his lady where he was wont to see her, and it is agreed that he shall demand her in marriage of her parents as the reward of his services; the king is unwilling to give her, as he knows not who he is, but nevertheless, whether carried off or in whatever other way it may be, the princess comes to be his bride, and her father comes to regard it as very good fortune; for it so happens that this knight is proved to be the son of a valiant king of some kingdom, I know not what, for I fancy it is not likely to be on the map.
Ya se es ido el caballero: pelea en la guerra, vence al enemigo del rey, gana muchas ciudades, triunfa de muchas batallas, vuelve a la corte, ve a su señora por donde suele, conciértase que la pida a su padre por mujer en pago de sus servicios. No se la quiere dar el rey, porque no sabe quién es; pero, con todo esto, o robada o de otra cualquier suerte que sea, la infanta viene a ser su esposa y su padre lo viene a tener a gran ventura, porque se vino a averiguar que el tal caballero es hijo de un valeroso rey de no sé qué reino, porque creo que no debe de estar en el mapa.
