The end of it was that the licentiate reckoned up for him by thrusts every one of the buttons of the short cassock he wore, tore the skirts into strips, like the tails of a cuttlefish, knocked off his hat twice, and so completely tired him out, that in vexation, anger, and rage, he took the sword by the hilt and flung it away with such force, that one of the peasants that were there, who was a notary, and who went for it, made an affidavit afterwards that he sent it nearly three-quarters of a league, which testimony will serve, and has served, to show and establish with all certainty that strength is overcome by skill.
Finalmente, el licenciado le contó a estocadas todos los botones de una media sotanilla que traía vestida, haciéndole tiras los faldamentos, como colas de pulpo; derribóle el sombrero dos veces, y cansóle de manera que de despecho, cólera y rabia asió la espada por la empuñadura, y arrojóla por el aire con tanta fuerza, que uno de los labradores asistentes, que era escribano, que fue por ella, dio después por testimonio que la alongó de sí casi tres cuartos de legua; el cual testimonio sirve y ha servido para que se conozca y vea con toda verdad cómo la fuerza es vencida del arte.
