"Them at the fortilage, of which I told,
Sir Pinnabel received with semblance fair,
Next seized the ensuing night the warriors bold
In bed, nor loosed, till he had made them swear
That (he such period fixt) they in his hold
Should be his faithful champions for a year
And month; and of his horse and arms deprive
Whatever

CERVANTES
SANCHO PANZA AND HIS WIFE TERESA CONVERSE SHREWDLY
HE translator of this history, when he comes to write this fifth
chapter, says that considers it apocryphal, because in it
Sancho Panza speaks in a style unlike that which might
have been expected from his limited intelligence, and says things
so subtle that he does not think it possible he could have con-
ceived them; however,
desirous
of doing what his task imposed
upon him, he was unwilling to leave it untranslated, and there-
fore he went on to say:—
Sancho came home in such glee and spirits that his wife
noticed his happiness a bowshot off, so much so that it made her
ask him, "What have you got, Sancho friend, that you are SO
glad?
