| Back | "That," said the duchess, "is more like giving oneself slaps than lashes; I am sure the sage Merlin will not be satisfied with such tenderness; worthy Sancho must make a scourge with claws, or a cat-o'-nine tails, that will make itself felt; for it's with blood that letters enter, and the release of so great a lady as Dulcinea will not be granted so cheaply, or at such a paltry price; and remember, Sancho, that works of charity done in a lukewarm and half-hearted way are without merit and of no avail." |

| Front | -Eso -replicó la duquesa- más es darse de palmadas que de azotes. Yo tengo para mí que el sabio Merlín no estará contento con tanta blandura; menester será que el buen Sancho haga alguna diciplina de abrojos, o de las de canelones, que se dejen sentir; porque la letra con sangre entra, y no se ha de dar tan barata la libertad de una tan gran señora como lo es Dulcinea por tan poco precio; y advierta Sancho que las obras de caridad que se hacen tibia y flojamente no tienen mérito ni valen nada. |
