Don Quixote, however, paid no attention to these difficulties, and in perfect safety to himself and without any risk encountered him of the Mirrors with such force that he brought him to the ground in spite of himself over the haunches of his horse, and with so heavy a fall that he lay to all appearance dead, not stirring hand or foot.
Don Quijote, que no miraba en estos inconvenientes, a salvamano y sin peligro alguno, encontró al de los Espejos con tanta fuerza, que mal de su grado le hizo venir al suelo por las ancas del caballo, dando tal caída, que, sin mover pie ni mano, dio señales de que estaba muerto.
