"If there were not so many of them," said the curate, "they would be more relished: this book must be weeded and cleansed of certain vulgarities which it has with its excellences; let it be preserved because the author is a friend of mine, and out of respect for other more heroic and loftier works that he has written."
-Como ellas no fueran tantas -dijo el cura-, fueran más estimadas; menester es que este libro se escarde y limpie de algunas bajezas que entre sus grandezas tiene. Guárdese, porque su autor es amigo mío, y por respeto de otras más heroicas y levantadas obras que ha escrito.
