| Back | We remained six days in Velez, at the end of which the renegade, having informed himself of all that was requisite for him to do, set out for the city of Granada to restore himself to the sacred bosom of the Church through the medium of the Holy Inquisition. The other released captives took their departures, each the way that seemed best to him, and Zoraida and I were left alone, with nothing more than the crowns which the courtesy of the Frenchman had bestowed upon Zoraida, out of which I bought the beast on which she rides; and, I for the present attending her as her father and squire and not as her husband, we are now going to ascertain if my father is living, or if any of my brothers has had better fortune than mine has been; though, as Heaven has made me the companion of Zoraida, I think no other lot could be assigned to me, however happy, that I would rather have. |

| Front | »Seis días estuvimos en Vélez, al cabo de los cuales el renegado, hecha su información de cuanto le convenía, se fue a la ciudad de Granada, a reducirse por medio de la Santa Inquisición al gremio santísimo de la Iglesia; los demás cristianos libertados se fueron cada uno donde mejor le pareció; solos quedamos Zoraida y yo, con solos los escudos que la cortesía del francés le dio a Zoraida, de los cuales compré este animal en que ella viene; y, sirviéndola yo hasta agora de padre y escudero, y no de esposo, vamos con intención de ver si mi padre es vivo, o si alguno de mis hermanos ha tenido más próspera ventura que la mía, puesto que, por haberme hecho el cielo compañero de Zoraida, me parece que ninguna otra suerte me pudiera venir, por buena que fuera, que más la estimara. |
