| Back | The pilgrims were about to give up the whole of their little hoard, but Roque bade them keep quiet, and turning to his men he said, "Of these crowns two fall to each man and twenty remain over; let ten be given to these pilgrims, and the other ten to this worthy squire that he may be able to speak favourably of this adventure;" and then having writing materials, with which he always went provided, brought to him, he gave them in writing a safe-conduct to the leaders of his bands; and bidding them farewell let them go free and filled with admiration at his magnanimity, his generous disposition, and his unusual conduct, and inclined to regard him as an Alexander the Great rather than a notorious robber. |

| Front | Iban los peregrinos a dar toda su miseria, pero Roque les dijo que se estuviesen quedos, y volviéndose a los suyos, les dijo: -Destos escudos dos tocan a cada uno, y sobran veinte: los diez se den a estos peregrinos, y los otros diez a este buen escudero, porque pueda decir bien de esta aventura. Y, trayéndole aderezo de escribir, de que siempre andaba proveído, Roque les dio por escrito un salvoconduto para los mayorales de sus escuadras, y, despidiéndose dellos, los dejó ir libres, y admirados de su nobleza, de su gallarda disposición y estraño proceder, teniéndole más por un Alejandro Magno que por ladrón conocido. |
