| Back | "This, sirs," continued Dorothea, "is my story; it only remains to tell you that of all the attendants I took with me from my kingdom I have none left except this well-bearded squire, for all were drowned in a great tempest we encountered when in sight of port; and he and I came to land on a couple of planks as if by a miracle; and indeed the whole course of my life is a miracle and a mystery as you may have observed; and if I have been over minute in any respect or not as precise as I ought, let it be accounted for by what the licentiate said at the beginning of my tale, that constant and excessive troubles deprive the sufferers of their memory." |

| Front | -Ésta, señores -prosiguió Dorotea-, es mi historia: sólo resta por deciros que de cuanta gente de acompañamiento saqué de mi reino no me ha quedado sino sólo este buen barbado escudero, porque todos se anegaron en una gran borrasca que tuvimos a vista del puerto, y él y yo salimos en dos tablas a tierra, como por milagro; y así, es todo milagro y misterio el discurso de mi vida, como lo habréis notado. Y si en alguna cosa he andado demasiada, o no tan acertada como debiera, echad la culpa a lo que el señor licenciado dijo al principio de mi cuento: que los trabajos continuos y extraordinarios quitan la memoria al que los padece. |
