Sancho Panza, who was coming on close behind puffing and blowing, seeing him fall, cried out to his assailant not to strike him again, for he was poor enchanted knight, who had never harmed anyone all the days of his life; but what checked the clown was, not Sancho's shouting, but seeing that Don Quixote did not stir hand or foot; and so, fancying he had killed him, he hastily hitched up his tunic under his girdle and took to his heels across the country like a deer.
Sancho Panza, que jadeando le iba a los alcances, viéndole caído, dio voces a su moledor que no le diese otro palo, porque era un pobre caballero encantado, que no había hecho mal a nadie en todos los días de su vida. Mas, lo que detuvo al villano no fueron las voces de Sancho, sino el ver que don Quijote no bullía pie ni mano; y así, creyendo que le había muerto, con priesa se alzó la túnica a la cinta, y dio a huir por la campaña como un gamo.
