| Back | By this time all Don Quixote's companions had come up to where he lay; but the processionists seeing them come running, and with them the officers of the Brotherhood with their crossbows, apprehended mischief, and clustering round the image, raised their hoods, and grasped their scourges, as the priests did their tapers, and awaited the attack, resolved to defend themselves and even to take the offensive against their assailants if they could. Fortune, however, arranged the matter better than they expected, for all Sancho did was to fling himself on his master's body, raising over him the most doleful and laughable lamentation that ever was heard, for he believed he was dead. |

| Front | Ya en esto llegaron todos los de la compañía de don Quijote adonde él estaba; y más los de la procesión, que los vieron venir corriendo, y con ellos los cuadrilleros con sus ballestas, temieron algún mal suceso, y hiciéronse todos un remolino alrededor de la imagen; y, alzados los capirotes, empuñando las diciplinas, y los clérigos los ciriales, esperaban el asalto con determinación de defenderse, y aun ofender, si pudiesen, a sus acometedores; pero la fortuna lo hizo mejor que se pensaba, porque Sancho no hizo otra cosa que arrojarse sobre el cuerpo de su señor, haciendo sobre él el más doloroso y risueño llanto del mundo, creyendo que estaba muerto. |
