Fool that I am! now that I am far away, and out of danger, I say I should have done what I did not do: now that I have allowed my precious treasure to be robbed from me, I curse the robber, on whom I might have taken vengeance had I as much heart for it as I have for bewailing my fate; in short, as I was then a coward and a fool, little wonder is it if I am now dying shame-stricken, remorseful, and mad.
¡Ahora que dejé robar mi cara prenda, maldigo al robador, de quien pudiera vengarme si tuviera corazón para ello como le tengo para quejarme! En fin, pues fui entonces cobarde y necio, no es mucho que muera ahora corrido, arrepentido y loco.
