| Front | -Señor -replicó el mancebo-, yo llevo en este envoltorio unos greguescos de terciopelo, compañeros desta ropilla; si los gasto en el camino, no me podré honrar con ellos en la ciudad, y no tengo con qué comprar otros; y, así por esto como por orearme, voy desta manera, hasta alcanzar unas compañías de infantería que no están doce leguas de aquí, donde asentaré mi plaza, y no faltarán bagajes en que caminar de allí adelante hasta el embarcadero, que dicen ha de ser en Cartagena. Y más quiero tener por amo y por señor al rey, y servirle en la guerra, que no a un pelón en la corte. |
