| Back | Therein, most assuredly, not small is the share of the peerless Dulcinea, through whom her town will be famous and celebrated in ages to come, as Troy was through Helen, and Spain through La Cava, though with a better title and tradition. For another thing; I would have your graces understand that Sancho Panza is one of the drollest squires that ever served knight-errant; sometimes there is a simplicity about him so acute that it is an amusement to try and make out whether he is simple or sharp; he has mischievous tricks that stamp him rogue, and blundering ways that prove him a booby; he doubts everything and believes everything; when I fancy he is on the point of coming down headlong from sheer stupidity, he comes out with something shrewd that sends him up to the skies. |

| Front | Por otra parte, quiero que entiendan vuestras señorías que Sancho Panza es uno de los más graciosos escuderos que jamás sirvió a caballero andante; tiene a veces unas simplicidades tan agudas, que el pensar si es simple o agudo causa no pequeño contento; tiene malicias que le condenan por bellaco, y descuidos que le confirman por bobo; duda de todo y créelo todo; cuando pienso que se va a despeñar de tonto, sale con unas discreciones, que le levantan al cielo. |
