All this village is very much pleased that your ladyship has made a governor of my good man Sancho; though nobody will believe it, particularly the curate, and Master Nicholas the barber, and the bachelor Samson Carrasco; but I don't care for that, for so long as it is true, as it is, they may all say what they like; though, to tell the truth, if the coral beads and the suit had not come I would not have believed it either; for in this village everybody thinks my husband a numskull, and except for governing a flock of goats, they cannot fancy what sort of government he can be fit for.
De que vuestra señoría haya hecho gobernador a Sancho, mi consorte, ha recebido mucho gusto todo este lugar, puesto que no hay quien lo crea, principalmente el cura, y mase Nicolás el barbero, y Sansón Carrasco el bachiller; pero a mí no se me da nada; que, como ello sea así, como lo es, diga cada uno lo que quisiere; aunque, si va a decir verdad, a no venir los corales y el vestido, tampoco yo lo creyera, porque en este pueblo todos tienen a mi marido por un porro, y que, sacado de gobernar un hato de cabras, no pueden imaginar para qué gobierno pueda ser bueno.
