But the mischief is that until peace is made and you come into the peaceful enjoyment of your kingdom, the poor squire is famishing as far as rewards go, unless it be that the confidante damsel that is to be his wife comes with the princess, and that with her he tides over his bad luck until Heaven otherwise orders things; for his master, I suppose, may as well give her to him at once for a lawful wife."
Pero está el daño que, en tanto que se hagan las paces y se goce pacíficamente el reino, el pobre escudero se podrá estar a diente en esto de las mercedes. Si ya no es que la doncella tercera, que ha de ser su mujer, se sale con la infanta, y él pasa con ella su mala ventura, hasta que el cielo ordene otra cosa; porque bien podrá, creo yo, desde luego dársela su señor por ligítima esposa.
