Question

To take an example: a man is standing unsuspectingly in the street and ten others come up armed and beat him; he draws his sword and quits himself like a man, but the number of his antagonists makes it impossible for him to effect his purpose and avenge himself; this man suffers an offence but not an insult.

Accepted Answer

Sea ejemplo: está uno en la calle descuidado, llegan diez con mano armada, y, dándole de palos, pone mano a la espada y hace su deber, pero la muchedumbre de los contrarios se le opone, y no le deja salir con su intención, que es de vengarse; este tal queda agraviado, pero no afrentado.
