| Back | "The fact is," continued Sancho, "that, as your worship knows better than I do, we are all of us liable to death, and to-day we are, and to-morrow we are not, and the lamb goes as soon as the sheep, and nobody can promise himself more hours of life in this world than God may be pleased to give him; for death is deaf, and when it comes to knock at our life's door, it is always urgent, and neither prayers, nor struggles, nor sceptres, nor mitres, can keep it back, as common talk and report say, and as they tell us from the pulpits every day." |

| Front | -Es el caso -replicó Sancho- que, como vuestra merced mejor sabe, todos estamos sujetos a la muerte, y que hoy somos y mañana no, y que tan presto se va el cordero como el carnero, y que nadie puede prometerse en este mundo más horas de vida de las que Dios quisiere darle, porque la muerte es sorda, y, cuando llega a llamar a las puertas de nuestra vida, siempre va depriesa y no la harán detener ni ruegos, ni fuerzas, ni ceptros, ni mitras, según es pública voz y fama, y según nos lo dicen por esos púlpitos. |
