Question

Does she bring with her a basket of fair linen, shirts, kerchiefs, socks-not that wear any—to coax me? No, nothing but one piece of abuse after another, though she knows the proverb they have here that 'an ass loaded with gold goes lightly up a mountain,' and that 'gifts break rocks,' and 'praying to God and plying the hammer,' and that 'one "take" is better than two "I'll give thee's."'

Accepted Answer

¿Qué canasta de ropa blanca, de camisas, de tocadores y de escarpines, anque no los gasto, trae delante de sí para ablandarme, sino un vituperio y otro, sabiendo aquel refrán que dicen por ahí, que un asno cargado de oro sube ligero por una montaña, y que dádivas quebrantan peñas, y a Dios rogando y con el mazo dando, y que más vale un "toma" que dos "te daré"?
