What I marvel at is, that I know it to be as sure as that it is now day, that Durandarte ended his life in my arms, and that, after his death, I took out his heart with my own hands; and indeed it must have weighed more than two pounds, for, according to naturalists, he who has a large heart is more largely endowed with valour than he who has a small one.
Lo que a mí me admira es que sé, tan cierto como ahora es de día, que Durandarte acabó los de su vida en mis brazos, y que después de muerto le saqué el corazón con mis propias manos; y en verdad que debía de pesar dos libras, porque, según los naturales, el que tiene mayor corazón es dotado de mayor valentía del que le tiene pequeño.
