| Back | "I know his worship," said the curate; "that is where Senor Reinaldos of Montalvan figures with his friends and comrades, greater thieves than Cacus, and the Twelve Peers of France with the veracious historian Turpin; however, I am not for condemning them to more than perpetual banishment, because, at any rate, they have some share in the invention of the famous Matteo Boiardo, whence too the Christian poet Ludovico Ariosto wove his web, to whom, if I find him here, and speaking any language but his own, I shall show no respect whatever; but if he speaks his own tongue I will put him upon my head." |

| Front | -Ya conozco a su merced -dijo el cura-. Ahí anda el señor Reinaldos de Montalbán con sus amigos y compañeros, más ladrones que Caco, y los doce Pares, con el verdadero historiador Turpín; y en verdad que estoy por condenarlos no más que a destierro perpetuo, siquiera porque tienen parte de la invención del famoso Mateo Boyardo, de donde también tejió su tela el cristiano poeta Ludovico Ariosto; al cual, si aquí le hallo, y que habla en otra lengua que la suya, no le guardaré respeto alguno; pero si habla en su idioma, le pondré sobre mi cabeza. |
