| Back | The duke ordered his huntsmen to go to the help of knight and squire, and they raised Don Quixote, sorely shaken by his fall; and he, limping, advanced as best he could to kneel before the noble pair. This, however, the duke would by no means permit; on the contrary, dismounting from his horse, he went and embraced Don Quixote, saying, "I am grieved, Sir Knight of the Rueful Countenance, that your first experience on my ground should have been such an unfortunate one as we have seen; but the carelessness of squires is often the cause of worse accidents." |

| Front | El duque mandó a sus cazadores que acudiesen al caballero y al escudero, los cuales levantaron a don Quijote maltrecho de la caída, y, renqueando y como pudo, fue a hincar las rodillas ante los dos señores; pero el duque no lo consintió en ninguna manera, antes, apeándose de su caballo, fue a abrazar a don Quijote, diciéndole: -A mí me pesa, señor Caballero de la Triste Figura, que la primera que vuesa merced ha hecho en mi tierra haya sido tan mala como se ha visto; pero descuidos de escuderos suelen ser causa de otros peores sucesos. |
