y bien haya el que invento el sueno, capa que cubre todos los humanos pensamientos, manjar que quita la hambre, agua que ahuyenta la sed, fuego que calienta el frio, frio que templa el ardor, y, finalmente, moneda general con que todas las cosas se compran, balanza y peso que iguala al pastor con el rey y al simple con el discreto.

Este, pues, por abreviar el cuento de mi desventura, te dire en breves palabras la que me ha causado. Viome, requebrome, escuchele, enamoreme, a hurto de mi padre; porque no hay mujer, por retirada que este y recatada que sea, a quien no le sobre tiempo para poner en ejecucion y efecto sus atropellados deseos. Finalmente, el me prometio de ser mi esposo, y yo le di la palabra de ser suya, sin que en obras pasasemos adelante.

En resolucion: el me adulo el entendimiento y me rindio la voluntad con no se que dijes y brincos que me dio, pero lo que mas me hizo postrar y dar conmigo por el suelo fueron unas coplas que le oi cantar una noche desde una reja que caia a una callejuela donde el estaba, que, si mal no me acuerdo, decian: De la dulce mi enemiga nace un mal que al alma hiere, y, por mas tormento, quiere que se sienta y no se diga.

So I pretended humility whenever I wanted to enter the service of a household, having first cased the place to ascertain that it could maintain and accommodate a large dog. Then I parked myself by the door and, when an apparent stranger came up, I barked at him. The lord of the house would come out and I'd lower my head, wag my tail, go up to him, and lick his brogans with my tongue.

Pero Cavalcanti se volvio hacia ellos, guino los ojos, inflo la mejilla con la lengua, e hizo oir un sonido con los labios, que equivale a mil signos de inteligencia entre los bandidos y les obliga a callarse. Aquel signo masonico lo aprendio de Caderousse. Reconocieron en seguida a uno de los suyos.

Sancho asked the landlord what he had to give them for supper. To this the landlord replied that his mouth should be the measure; he had only to ask what he would; for that inn was provided with the birds of the air and the fowls of the earth and the fish of the sea. "There's no need of all that," said Sancho; "if they'll roast us a couple of chickens we'll be satisfied, for my master is delicate and eats little, and I'm not over and above ..

As I said, I went back to my dog's rations, and to the bones that a household serving slave threw me, and even those I had to fight over with two spotted cats. Free and easy, they thought nothing of snatching whatever fell outside the radius of my chain.

When I found my comprehension somewhat improved by this habit, I determined, as if I already knew how to talk even then, to take advantage of this exercise whenever I could--but not as some ignoramuses do. There are those who interlard their conversations from time to time with some brief, pithy Latin phrase, giving strangers to understand that they're great Latinists when they hardly know how to decline a noun or conjugate a verb.

Today they make a law and tomorrow they break it, and maybe it's better that way. After all, no sooner does somebody promise to change his habits than he immediately falls into worse ones. It's one thing to extol discipline and another to exercise it, and there's a vast chasm between the saying and the doing.

There I was, fat and happy with my second master and my new responsibilities. I watched the fold carefully and diligently except at siesta time, which I used to spend in the shade of some tree or bank, or a ravine or an orchard, next to one of the creeks that ran all through there. I didn't pass these hours of tranquility idly, either. I occupied my memory by remembering many things, especially the life my old master and everyone like him l..

may it please your highness to give him leave that, with your permission, approbation, and consent, he may come and carry out his wishes, which are, as he says and I believe, to serve your exalted loftiness and beauty; and if you give it, your ladyship will do a thing which will redound to your honour, and he will receive a most distinguished favour and happiness.

That way, when the wolf came, I'd stand a better chance of catching him. Week in and week out they'd raised the alarm, and one sable-black night I lay in ambush for those wolves against whom I'd failed to protect the flock. While the other dogs tore out ahead of me, I lay doggo behind a bush and watched two shepherds mark out one of the best lambs in the fold and kill it--and in such a way that in the morning, everyone would think the wolf ..

They just want to pile up and hoard money, and to get it they work almost without eating. Once a coin strays into their clutches, no matter how small, they condemn it to life imprisonment and eternal darkness. In this way, always acquiring and never spending, they're amassing Spain's biggest fortune. They are its strongbox, its vault, its guardians and custodians. They gather everything, hide everything, and swallow everything.

Do not issue many edicts, and if you do, try to make them good ones, and, above all, ones that are carried out and obeyed; for edicts that are not carried out are as good as nonexistent, and they let it be known that the prince who had the intelligence and authority to issue them did not have the courage to enforce them; laws that intimidate but are not enforced become like the log that was king of the frogs: at first it frightened them, bu..
