| Back | Of those that began great and ended in a point, there are thousands of examples, for all the Pharaohs and Ptolemies of Egypt, the Caesars of Rome, and the whole herd (if I may such a word to them) of countless princes, monarchs, lords, Medes, Assyrians, Persians, Greeks, and barbarians, all these lineages and lordships have ended in a point and come to nothing, they themselves as well as their founders, for it would be impossible now to find one of their descendants, and, even should we find one, it would be in some lowly and humble condition. |

| Front | De los que comenzaron grandes y acabaron en punta hay millares de ejemplos, porque todos los Faraones y Tolomeos de Egipto, los Césares de Roma, con toda la caterva, si es que se le puede dar este nombre, de infinitos príncipes, monarcas, señores, medos, asirios, persas, griegos y bárbaros, todos estos linajes y señoríos han acabado en punta y en nonada, así ellos como los que les dieron principio, pues no será posible hallar agora ninguno de sus decendientes, y si le hallásemos, sería en bajo y humilde estado. |
