I say so because Don Fernando made all haste to leave me, and by the adroitness of my maid, who was indeed the one who had admitted him, gained the street before daybreak; but on taking leave of me he told me, though not with as much earnestness and fervour as when he came, that I might rest assured of his faith and of the sanctity and sincerity of his oaths; and to confirm his words he drew a rich ring off his finger and placed it upon mine.
Digo esto porque don Fernando dio priesa por partirse de mí, y, por industria de mi doncella, que era la misma que allí le había traído, antes que amaneciese se vio en la calle. Y, al despedirse de mí, aunque no con tanto ahínco y vehemencia como cuando vino, me dijo que estuviese segura de su fe y de ser firmes y verdaderos sus juramentos; y, para más confirmación de su palabra, sacó un rico anillo del dedo y lo puso en el mío.
