| Back | "And then, what do you say to the good Cirongilio of Thrace, that was so stout and bold; as may be seen in the book, where it is related that as he was sailing along a river there came up out of the midst of the water against him a fiery serpent, and he, as soon as he saw it, flung himself upon it and got astride of its scaly shoulders, and squeezed its throat with both hands with such force that the serpent, finding he was throttling it, had nothing for it but to let itself sink to the bottom of the river, carrying with it the knight who would not let go his hold; and when they got down there he found himself among palaces and gardens so pretty that it was a wonder to see; and then the serpent changed itself into an old ancient man, who told him such things as were never heard. |

| Front | Pues, ¿qué me dirán del bueno de don Cirongilio de Tracia, que fue tan valiente y animoso como se verá en el libro, donde cuenta que, navegando por un río, le salió de la mitad del agua una serpiente de fuego, y él, así como la vio, se arrojó sobre ella, y se puso a horcajadas encima de sus escamosas espaldas, y le apretó con ambas manos la garganta, con tanta fuerza que, viendo la serpiente que la iba ahogando, no tuvo otro remedio sino dejarse ir a lo hondo del río, llevándose tras sí al caballero, que nunca la quiso soltar? Y, cuando llegaron allá bajo, se halló en unos palacios y en unos jardines tan lindos que era maravilla; y luego la sierpe se volvió en un viejo anciano, que le dijo tantas de cosas que no hay más que oír. |
