| Back | When she had done reading the letter the duchess said to Sancho, "On two points the worthy governor goes rather astray; one is in saying or hinting that this government has been bestowed upon him for the lashes that he is to give himself, when he knows (and he cannot deny it) that when my lord the duke promised it to him nobody ever dreamt of such a thing as lashes; the other is that he shows himself here to be very covetous; and I would not have him a money-seeker, for 'covetousness bursts the bag,' and the covetous governor does ungoverned justice." |

| Front | En acabando la duquesa de leer la carta, dijo a Sancho: -En dos cosas anda un poco descaminado el buen gobernador: la una, en decir o dar a entender que este gobierno se le han dado por los azotes que se ha de dar, sabiendo él, que no lo puede negar, que cuando el duque, mi señor, se le prometió, no se soñaba haber azotes en el mundo; la otra es que se muestra en ella muy codicioso, y no querría que orégano fuese, porque la codicia rompe el saco, y el gobernador codicioso hace la justicia desgobernada. |
