| Back | Senor governor of my soul, this wicked man caught me in the middle of the fields here and used my body as if it was an ill-washed rag, and, woe is me! got from me what I had kept these three-and-twenty years and more, defending it against Moors and Christians, natives and strangers; and I always as hard as an oak, and keeping myself as pure as a salamander in the fire, or wool among the brambles, for this good fellow to come now with clean hands to handle me!" |

| Front | Señor gobernador de mi ánima, este mal hombre me ha cogido en la mitad dese campo, y se ha aprovechado de mi cuerpo como si fuera trapo mal lavado, y, ¡desdichada de mí!, me ha llevado lo que yo tenía guardado más de veinte y tres años ha, defendiéndolo de moros y cristianos, de naturales y estranjeros; y yo, siempre dura como un alcornoque, conservándome entera como la salamanquesa en el fuego, o como la lana entre las zarzas, para que este buen hombre llegase ahora con sus manos limpias a manosearme. |
