| Front | Oyendo lo cual Sancho, dijo: -Tan de valientes corazones es, señor mío, tener sufrimiento en las desgracias como alegría en las prosperidades; y esto lo juzgo por mí mismo, que si cuando era gobernador estaba alegre, agora que soy escudero de a pie, no estoy triste; porque he oído decir que esta que llaman por ahí Fortuna es una mujer borracha y antojadiza, y, sobre todo, ciega, y así, no vee lo que hace, ni sabe a quién derriba, ni a quién ensalza. |
