| Back | "As to governing them well," said Sancho, "there's no need of charging me to do that, for I'm kind-hearted by nature, and full of compassion for the poor; there's no stealing the loaf from him who kneads and bakes;' and by my faith it won't do to throw false dice with me; I am an old dog, and I know all about 'tus, tus;' I can be wide-awake if need be, and I don't let clouds come before my eyes, for I know where the shoe pinches me; I say so, because with me the good will have support and protection, and the bad neither footing nor access. |

| Front | -Eso de gobernarlos bien -respondió Sancho- no hay para qué encargármelo, porque yo soy caritativo de mío y tengo compasión de los pobres; y a quien cuece y amasa, no le hurtes hogaza; y para mi santiguada que no me han de echar dado falso; soy perro viejo, y entiendo todo tus, tus, y sé despabilarme a sus tiempos, y no consiento que me anden musarañas ante los ojos, porque sé dónde me aprieta el zapato: dígolo porque los buenos tendrán conmigo mano y concavidad, y los malos, ni pie ni entrada. |
