| Back | "I do not understand that Latin," answered Don Quixote, "but I know well I did not lay hands, only this pike; besides, I did not think I was committing an assault upon priests or things of the Church, which, like a Catholic and faithful Christian as I am, I respect and revere, but upon phantoms and spectres of the other world; but even so, I remember how it fared with Cid Ruy Diaz when he broke the chair of the ambassador of that king before his Holiness the Pope, who excommunicated him for the same; and yet the good Roderick of Vivar bore himself that day like a very noble and valiant knight." |

| Front | -No entiendo ese latín -respondió don Quijote-, mas yo sé bien que no puse las manos, sino este lanzón; cuanto más, que yo no pensé que ofendía a sacerdotes ni a cosas de la Iglesia, a quien respeto y adoro como católico y fiel cristiano que soy, sino a fantasmas y a vestiglos del otro mundo; y, cuando eso así fuese, en la memoria tengo lo que le pasó al Cid Ruy Díaz, cuando quebró la silla del embajador de aquel rey delante de Su Santidad del Papa, por lo cual lo descomulgó, y anduvo aquel día el buen Rodrigo de Vivar como muy honrado y valiente caballero. |
