Don Antonio's wife came up and said, "I know not what to ask thee, Head; I would only seek to know of thee if I shall have many years of enjoyment of my good husband;" and the answer she received was, "Thou shalt, for his vigour and his temperate habits promise many years of life, which by their intemperance others so often cut short."
Llegóse la mujer de don Antonio, y dijo: -Yo no sé, cabeza, qué preguntarte; sólo querría saber de ti si gozaré muchos años de buen marido. Y respondiéronle: -Sí gozarás, porque su salud y su templanza en el vivir prometen muchos años de vida, la cual muchos suelen acortar por su destemplanza.
