| Commentary | Reference to don Quixote and Sancho's dialogue about how knights errants can move quickly from one country to another by enchantments; "Que acaece estar uno peleando en las sierras de Armenia con algún endriago, o con algún fiero vestiglo, o con otro caballero, donde lleva lo peor de la batalla y está ya a punto de muerte, y cuando no os me cato, asoma por acullá, encima de una nube, o sobre un carro de fuego, otro caballero amigo suyo" (31:1).
