| Back | Not half an hour, nay, barely a minute ago, I saw myself lord of kings and emperors, with my stables filled with countless horses, and my trunks and bags with gay dresses unnumbered; and now I find myself ruined and laid low, destitute and a beggar, and above all without my ape, for, by my faith, my teeth will have to sweat for it before I have him caught; and all through the reckless fury of sir knight here, who, they say, protects the fatherless, and rights wrongs, and does other charitable deeds; but whose generous intentions have been found wanting in my case only, blessed and praised be the highest heavens! |

| Front | No ha media hora, ni aun un mediano momento, que me vi señor de reyes y de emperadores, llenas mis caballerizas y mis cofres y sacos de infinitos caballos y de innumerables galas, y agora me veo desolado y abatido, pobre y mendigo, y, sobre todo, sin mi mono, que a fe que primero que le vuelva a mi poder me han de sudar los dientes; y todo por la furia mal considerada deste señor caballero, de quien se dice que ampara pupilos, y endereza tuertos, y hace otras obras caritativas; y en mí solo ha venido a faltar su intención generosa, que sean benditos y alabados los cielos, allá donde tienen más levantados sus asientos. |
