On seeing this, Don Fernando, persuaded that Luscinda had befooled, slighted, and trifled with him, assailed her before she had recovered from her swoon, and tried to stab her with the dagger that had been found, and would have succeeded had not her parents and those who were present prevented him.
Todo lo cual visto por don Fernando, pareciéndole que Luscinda le había burlado y escarnecido y tenido en poco, arremetió a ella, antes que de su desmayo volviese, y con la misma daga que le hallaron la quiso dar de puñaladas; y lo hiciera si sus padres y los que se hallaron presentes no se lo estorbaran.
