Or what greater absurdity can there be than putting before us an old man as a swashbuckler, a young man as a poltroon, a lackey using fine language, a page giving sage advice, a king plying as a porter, a princess who is a kitchen-maid?
Y ¿qué mayor que pintarnos un viejo valiente y un mozo cobarde, un lacayo rectórico, un paje consejero, un rey ganapán y una princesa fregona?
