I encountered a chaplet or string of miserable and unfortunate people, and did for them what my sense of duty demands of me, and as for the rest be that as it may; and whoever takes objection to it, saving the sacred dignity of the senor licentiate and his honoured person, I say he knows little about chivalry and lies like a whoreson villain, and this I will give him to know to the fullest extent with my sword;" and so saying he settled himself in his stirrups and pressed down his morion; for the barber's basin, which according to him was Mambrino's helmet, he carried hanging at the saddle-bow until he could repair the damage done to it by the galley slaves.
Yo topé un rosario y sarta de gente mohína y desdichada, y hice con ellos lo que mi religión me pide, y lo demás allá se avenga; y a quien mal le ha parecido, salvo la santa dignidad del señor licenciado y su honrada persona, digo que sabe poco de achaque de caballería, y que miente como un hideputa y mal nacido; y esto le haré conocer con mi espada, donde más largamente se contiene. Y esto dijo afirmándose en los estribos y calándose el morrión; porque la bacía de barbero, que a su cuenta era el yelmo de Mambrino, llevaba colgado del arzón delantero, hasta adobarla del mal tratamiento que la hicieron los galeotes.
