Question

They all offered their services to Eugenio but he who showed himself most liberal in this way was Don Quixote, who said to him, "Most assuredly, brother goatherd, if I found myself in a position to attempt any adventure, I would, this very instant, set out on your behalf, and would rescue Leandra from that convent (where no doubt she is kept against her will), in spite of the abbess and all who might try to prevent me, and would place her in your hands to deal with her according to your will and pleasure, observing, however, the laws of chivalry which lay down that no violence of any kind is to be offered to any damsel. But I trust in God our Lord that the might of one malignant enchanter may not prove so great but that the power of another better disposed may prove superior to it, and then I promise you my support and assistance, as I am bound to do by my profession, which is none other than to give aid to the weak and needy."

Accepted Answer

Todos se ofrecieron a Eugenio; pero el que más se mostró liberal en esto fue don Quijote, que le dijo: -Por cierto, hermano cabrero, que si yo me hallara posibilitado de poder comenzar alguna aventura, que luego luego me pusiera en camino porque vos la tuviérades buena; que yo sacara del monesterio, donde, sin duda alguna, debe de estar contra su voluntad, a Leandra, a pesar de la abadesa y de cuantos quisieran estorbarlo, y os la pusiera en vuestras manos, para que hiciérades della a toda vuestra voluntad y talante, guardando, pero, las leyes de la caballería, que mandan que a ninguna doncella se le sea fecho desaguisado alguno; aunque yo espero en Dios Nuestro Señor que no ha de poder tanto la fuerza de un encantador malicioso, que no pueda más la de otro encantador mejor intencionado, y para entonces os prometo mi favor y ayuda, como me obliga mi profesión, que no es otra si no es favorecer a los desvalidos y menesterosos.
