| Back | "It appears to me, gentle sir, that your worship's discourse is intended to persuade me that there never were any knights-errant in the world, and that all the books of chivalry are false, lying, mischievous and useless to the State, and that I have done wrong in reading them, and worse in believing them, and still worse in imitating them, when I undertook to follow the arduous calling of knight-errantry which they set forth; for you deny that there ever were Amadises of Gaul or of Greece, or any other of the knights of whom the books are full." |

| Front | -Paréceme, señor hidalgo, que la plática de vuestra merced se ha encaminado a querer darme a entender que no ha habido caballeros andantes en el mundo, y que todos los libros de caballerías son falsos, mentirosos, dañadores e inútiles para la república; y que yo he hecho mal en leerlos, y peor en creerlos, y más mal en imitarlos, habiéndome puesto a seguir la durísima profesión de la caballería andante, que ellos enseñan, negándome que no ha habido en el mundo Amadises, ni de Gaula ni de Grecia, ni todos los otros caballeros de que las escrituras están llenas. |
