| Back | "With regard to the mode in which thou shouldst govern thy person and thy house, Sancho, the first charge I have to give thee is to be clean, and to cut thy nails, not letting them grow as some do, whose ignorance makes them fancy that long nails are an ornament to their hands, as if those excrescences they neglect to cut were nails, and not the talons of a lizard-catching kestrel—a filthy and unnatural abuse. |

| Front | -En lo que toca a cómo has de gobernar tu persona y casa, Sancho, lo primero que te encargo es que seas limpio, y que te cortes las uñas, sin dejarlas crecer, como algunos hacen, a quien su ignorancia les ha dado a entender que las uñas largas les hermosean las manos, como si aquel escremento y añadidura que se dejan de cortar fuese uña, siendo antes garras de cernícalo lagartijero: puerco y extraordinario abuso. |
