| Back | The muleteers, who had no idea of a joke and did not understand all this about battles and spoils, seeing that Don Quixote was some distance off talking to the travellers in the coach, fell upon Sancho, knocked him down, and leaving hardly a hair in his beard, belaboured him with kicks and left him stretched breathless and senseless on the ground; and without any more delay helped the friar to mount, who, trembling, terrified, and pale, as soon as he found himself in the saddle, spurred after his companion, who was standing at a distance looking on, watching the result of the onslaught; then, not caring to wait for the end of the affair just begun, they pursued their journey making more crosses than if they had the devil after them. |

| Front | Los mozos, que no sabían de burlas, ni entendían aquello de despojos ni batallas, viendo que ya don Quijote estaba desviado de allí, hablando con las que en el coche venían, arremetieron con Sancho y dieron con él en el suelo; y, sin dejarle pelo en las barbas, le molieron a coces y le dejaron tendido en el suelo sin aliento ni sentido. Y, sin detenerse un punto, tornó a subir el fraile, todo temeroso y acobardado y sin color en el rostro; y, cuando se vio a caballo, picó tras su compañero, que un buen espacio de allí le estaba aguardando, y esperando en qué paraba aquel sobresalto; y, sin querer aguardar el fin de todo aquel comenzado suceso, siguieron su camino, haciéndose más cruces que si llevaran al diablo a las espaldas. |
