| Back | Then it was he wished for the sword of Amadis, against which no enchantment whatever had any power; then he cursed his ill fortune; then he magnified the loss the world would sustain by his absence while he remained there enchanted, for that he believed he was beyond all doubt; then he once more took to thinking of his beloved Dulcinea del Toboso; then he called to his worthy squire Sancho Panza, who, buried in sleep and stretched upon the pack-saddle of his ass, was oblivious, at that moment, of the mother that bore him; then he called upon the sages Lirgandeo and Alquife to come to his aid; then he invoked his good friend Urganda to succour him; and then, at last, morning found him in such a state of desperation and perplexity that he was bellowing like a bull, for he had no hope that day would bring any relief to his suffering, which he believed would last for ever, inasmuch as he was enchanted; and of this he was convinced by seeing that Rocinante never stirred, much or little, and he felt persuaded that he and his horse were to remain in this state, without eating or drinking or sleeping, until the malign influence of the stars was overpast, or until some other more sage enchanter should disenchant him. |

| Front | Allí fue el desear de la espada de Amadís, contra quien no tenía fuerza de encantamento alguno; allí fue el maldecir de su fortuna; allí fue el exagerar la falta que haría en el mundo su presencia el tiempo que allí estuviese encantado, que sin duda alguna se había creído que lo estaba; allí el acordarse de nuevo de su querida Dulcinea del Toboso; allí fue el llamar a su buen escudero Sancho Panza, que, sepultado en sueño y tendido sobre el albarda de su jumento, no se acordaba en aquel instante de la madre que lo había parido; allí llamó a los sabios Lirgandeo y Alquife, que le ayudasen; allí invocó a su buena amiga Urganda, que le socorriese, y, finalmente, allí le tomó la mañana, tan desesperado y confuso que bramaba como un toro; porque no esperaba él que con el día se remediara su cuita, porque la tenía por eterna, teniéndose por encantado. Y hacíale creer esto ver que Rocinante poco ni mucho se movía, y creía que de aquella suerte, sin comer ni beber ni dormir, habían de estar él y su caballo, hasta que aquel mal influjo de las estrellas se pasase, o hasta que otro más sabio encantador le desencantase. |
