The son of Barbarossa was so cruel, and treated his slaves so badly, that, when those who were at the oars saw that the She-wolf galley was bearing down upon them and gaining upon them, they all at once dropped their oars and seized their captain who stood on the stage at the end of the gangway shouting to them to row lustily; and passing him on from bench to bench, from the poop to the prow, they so bit him that before he had got much past the mast his soul had already got to hell; so great, as I said, was the cruelty with which he treated them, and the hatred with which they hated him.
Era tan cruel el hijo de Barbarroja, y trataba tan mal a sus cautivos, que, así como los que venían al remo vieron que la galera Loba les iba entrando y que los alcanzaba, soltaron todos a un tiempo los remos, y asieron de su capitán, que estaba sobre el estanterol gritando que bogasen apriesa, y pasándole de banco en banco, de popa a proa, le dieron bocados, que a poco más que pasó del árbol ya había pasado su ánima al infierno: tal era, como he dicho, la crueldad con que los trataba y el odio que ellos le tenían.
