| Back | The Yanguesans, seeing themselves assaulted by only two men while they were so many, betook themselves to their stakes, and driving the two into the middle they began to lay on with great zeal and energy; in fact, at the second blow they brought Sancho to the ground, and Don Quixote fared the same way, all his skill and high mettle availing him nothing, and fate willed it that he should fall at the feet of Rocinante, who had not yet risen; whereby it may be seen how furiously stakes can pound in angry boorish hands. |

| Front | Los gallegos, que se vieron maltratar de aquellos dos hombres solos, siendo ellos tantos, acudieron a sus estacas, y, cogiendo a los dos en medio, comenzaron a menudear sobre ellos con grande ahínco y vehemencia. Verdad es que al segundo toque dieron con Sancho en el suelo, y lo mesmo le avino a don Quijote, sin que le valiese su destreza y buen ánimo; y quiso su ventura que viniese a caer a los pies de Rocinante, que aún no se había levantado; donde se echa de ver la furia con que machacan estacas puestas en manos rústicas y enojadas. |
