| Back | They told me they trusted and confided their honour and good name to my virtue and rectitude alone, and bade me consider the disparity between Don Fernando and myself, from which I might conclude that his intentions, whatever he might say to the contrary, had for their aim his own pleasure rather than my advantage; and if I were at all desirous of opposing an obstacle to his unreasonable suit, they were ready, they said, to marry me at once to anyone I preferred, either among the leading people of our own town, or of any of those in the neighbourhood; for with their wealth and my good name, a match might be looked for in any quarter. |

| Front | Decíanme mis padres que en sola mi virtud y bondad dejaban y depositaban su honra y fama, y que considerase la desigualdad que había entre mí y don Fernando, y que por aquí echaría de ver que sus pensamientos, aunque él dijese otra cosa, mas se encaminaban a su gusto que a mi provecho; y que si yo quisiese poner en alguna manera algún inconveniente para que él se dejase de su injusta pretensión, que ellos me casarían luego con quien yo más gustase: así de los más principales de nuestro lugar como de todos los circunvecinos, pues todo se podía esperar de su mucha hacienda y de mi buena fama. |
