| Back | Thus talking, and surrounded by boys and a crowd of people, they reached the castle, where in one of the corridors the duke and duchess stood waiting for them; but Sancho would not go up to see the duke until he had first put up Dapple in the stable, for he said he had passed a very bad night in his last quarters; then he went upstairs to see his lord and lady, and kneeling before them he said, "Because it was your highnesses' pleasure, not because of any desert of my own, I went to govern your island of Barataria, which 'I entered naked, and naked I find myself; I neither lose nor gain.' |

| Front | En estas pláticas llegaron, rodeados de muchachos y de otra mucha gente, al castillo, adonde en unos corredores estaban ya el duque y la duquesa esperando a don Quijote y a Sancho, el cual no quiso subir a ver al duque sin que primero no hubiese acomodado al rucio en la caballeriza, porque decía que había pasado muy mala noche en la posada; y luego subió a ver a sus señores, ante los cuales, puesto de rodillas, dijo: -Yo, señores, porque lo quiso así vuestra grandeza, sin ningún merecimiento mío, fui a gobernar vuestra ínsula Barataria, en la cual entré desnudo, y desnudo me hallo: ni pierdo, ni gano. |
