To which Sancho made answer that by the law of chivalry his master had received he would not pay a rap, though it cost him his life; for the excellent and ancient usage of knights-errant was not going to be violated by him, nor should the squires of such as were yet to come into the world ever complain of him or reproach him with breaking so just a privilege.
A lo cual Sancho respondió que, por la ley de caballería que su amo había recebido, no pagaría un solo cornado, aunque le costase la vida; porque no había de perder por él la buena y antigua usanza de los caballeros andantes, ni se habían de quejar dél los escuderos de los tales que estaban por venir al mundo, reprochándole el quebrantamiento de tan justo fuero.
