| Back | "My meaning is," said Sancho, "let us set about becoming saints, and we shall obtain more quickly the fair fame we are striving after; for you know, senor, yesterday or the day before yesterday (for it is so lately one may say so) they canonised and beatified two little barefoot friars, and it is now reckoned the greatest good luck to kiss or touch the iron chains with which they girt and tortured their bodies, and they are held in greater veneration, so it is said, than the sword of Roland in the armoury of our lord the King, whom God preserve. |

| Front | -Quiero decir -dijo Sancho- que nos demos a ser santos, y alcanzaremos más brevemente la buena fama que pretendemos; y advierta, señor, que ayer o antes de ayer, que, según ha poco se puede decir desta manera, canonizaron o beatificaron dos frailecitos descalzos, cuyas cadenas de hierro con que ceñían y atormentaban sus cuerpos se tiene ahora a gran ventura el besarlas y tocarlas, y están en más veneración que está, según dije, la espada de Roldán en la armería del rey, nuestro señor, que Dios guarde. |
