Zoraida Y Don Fernando Lela Al Se Llamaba

Back Don Fernando asked the captive what her name was, and he replied that it was Lela Zoraida; but the instant she heard him, she guessed what the Christian had asked, and said hastily, with some displeasure and energy, "No, not Zoraida; Maria, Maria!" giving them to understand that she was called "Maria" and not "Zoraida."
Front Preguntó don Fernando al captivo cómo se llamaba la mora, el cual respondió que lela Zoraida; y, así como esto oyó, ella entendió lo que le habían preguntado al cristiano, y dijo con mucha priesa, llena de congoja y donaire: -¡No, no Zoraida: María, María! -dando a entender que se llamaba María y no Zoraida.
