| Back | "But consider, brother," said the curate once more, "there never was any Felixmarte of Hircania in the world, nor any Cirongilio of Thrace, or any of the other knights of the same sort, that the books of chivalry talk of; the whole thing is the fabrication and invention of idle wits, devised by them for the purpose you describe of beguiling the time, as your reapers do when they read; for I swear to you in all seriousness there never were any such knights in the world, and no such exploits or nonsense ever happened anywhere." |

| Front | -Mirad, hermano -tornó a decir el cura-, que no hubo en el mundo Felixmarte de Hircania, ni don Cirongilio de Tracia, ni otros caballeros semejantes que los libros de caballerías cuentan, porque todo es compostura y ficción de ingenios ociosos, que los compusieron para el efeto que vos decís de entretener el tiempo, como lo entretienen leyéndolos vuestros segadores; porque realmente os juro que nunca tales caballeros fueron en el mundo, ni tales hazañas ni disparates acontecieron en él. |
