| Back | A considerable portion of the night passed in conversation of this sort, and though Don Juan wished Don Quixote to read more of the book to see what it was all about, he was not to be prevailed upon, saying that he treated it as read and pronounced it utterly silly; and, if by any chance it should come to its author's ears that he had it in his hand, he did not want him to flatter himself with the idea that he had read it; for our thoughts, and still more our eyes, should keep themselves aloof from what is obscene and filthy. |

| Front | En estas y otras pláticas se pasó gran parte de la noche; y, aunque don Juan quisiera que don Quijote leyera más del libro, por ver lo que discantaba, no lo pudieron acabar con él, diciendo que él lo daba por leído y lo confirmaba por todo necio, y que no quería, si acaso llegase a noticia de su autor que le había tenido en sus manos, se alegrase con pensar que le había leído; pues de las cosas obscenas y torpes, los pensamientos se han de apartar, cuanto más los ojos. |
