| Back | To attain to eminence in letters costs a man time, watching, hunger, nakedness, headaches, indigestions, and other things of the sort, some of which I have already referred to. But for a man to come in the ordinary course of things to be a good soldier costs him all the student suffers, and in an incomparably higher degree, for at every step he runs the risk of losing his life. |

| Front | Alcanzar alguno a ser eminente en letras le cuesta tiempo, vigilias, hambre, desnudez, váguidos de cabeza, indigestiones de estómago, y otras cosas a éstas adherentes, que, en parte, ya las tengo referidas; mas llegar uno por sus términos a ser buen soldado le cuesta todo lo que a el estudiante, en tanto mayor grado que no tiene comparación, porque a cada paso está a pique de perder la vida. |
