| Back | Just then, whether it was the cold of the morning that was now approaching, or that he had eaten something laxative at supper, or that it was only natural (as is most likely), Sancho felt a desire to do what no one could do for him; but so great was the fear that had penetrated his heart, he dared not separate himself from his master by as much as the black of his nail; to escape doing what he wanted was, however, also impossible; so what he did for peace's sake was to remove his right hand, which held the back of the saddle, and with it to untie gently and silently the running string which alone held up his breeches, so that on loosening it they at once fell down round his feet like fetters; he then raised his shirt as well as he could and bared his hind quarters, no slim ones. |

| Front | En esto, parece ser, o que el frío de la mañana, que ya venía, o que Sancho hubiese cenado algunas cosas lenitivas, o que fuese cosa natural -que es lo que más se debe creer-, a él le vino en voluntad y deseo de hacer lo que otro no pudiera hacer por él; mas era tanto el miedo que había entrado en su corazón, que no osaba apartarse un negro de uña de su amo. Pues pensar de no hacer lo que tenía gana, tampoco era posible; y así, lo que hizo, por bien de paz, fue soltar la mano derecha, que tenía asida al arzón trasero, con la cual, bonitamente y sin rumor alguno, se soltó la lazada corrediza con que los calzones se sostenían, sin ayuda de otra alguna, y, en quitándosela, dieron luego abajo y se le quedaron como grillos. |
