| Back | The ill-luck of the unfortunate Sancho so ordered it that among the company in the inn there were four woolcarders from Segovia, three needle-makers from the Colt of Cordova, and two lodgers from the Fair of Seville, lively fellows, tender-hearted, fond of a joke, and playful, who, almost as if instigated and moved by a common impulse, made up to Sancho and dismounted him from his ass, while one of them went in for the blanket of the host's bed; but on flinging him into it they looked up, and seeing that the ceiling was somewhat lower what they required for their work, they decided upon going out into the yard, which was bounded by the sky, and there, putting Sancho in the middle of the blanket, they began to raise him high, making sport with him as they would with a dog at Shrovetide. |

| Front | Quiso la mala suerte del desdichado Sancho que, entre la gente que estaba en la venta, se hallasen cuatro perailes de Segovia, tres agujeros del Potro de Córdoba y dos vecinos de la Heria de Sevilla, gente alegre, bien intencionada, maleante y juguetona, los cuales, casi como instigados y movidos de un mesmo espíritu, se llegaron a Sancho, y, apeándole del asno, uno dellos entró por la manta de la cama del huésped, y, echándole en ella, alzaron los ojos y vieron que el techo era algo más bajo de lo que habían menester para su obra, y determinaron salirse al corral, que tenía por límite el cielo. Y allí, puesto Sancho en mitad de la manta, comenzaron a levantarle en alto y a holgarse con él como con perro por carnestolendas. |
