Feeling himself so smitten, he imagined himself slain or badly wounded for certain, and recollecting his liquor he drew out his flask, and putting it to his mouth began to pour the contents into his stomach; but ere he had succeeded in swallowing what seemed to him enough, there came another almond which struck him on the hand and on the flask so fairly that it smashed it to pieces, knocking three or four teeth and grinders out of his mouth in its course, and sorely crushing two fingers of his hand.
Viéndose tan maltrecho, creyó sin duda que estaba muerto o malferido, y, acordándose de su licor, sacó su alcuza y púsosela a la boca, y comenzó a echar licor en el estómago; mas, antes que acabase de envasar lo que a él le parecía que era bastante, llegó otra almendra y diole en la mano y en el alcuza tan de lleno que se la hizo pedazos, llevándole de camino tres o cuatro dientes y muelas de la boca, y machucándole malamente dos dedos de la mano.
