honrados y ricos. Finalmente, pobrecito mancebo, si alguna buenaventura os ha de dar nuestro señor, si nuestro señor te tiene en algo, primero te conviene que experimentes trabajos y pobrezas y sufras fatigas intolerables, como se ofrecen a los que andan de pueblo en pueblo, que son grandes cansancios y grandes sudores y grandes fríos y grandes calores. Andaréis lleno de polvo; fatigaros ha el mecapal en la frente; iréis limpiando el sudor de la cara con las manos; augmentarse ha vuestro trabajo, en que seréis compelido a dormir al rincón y detrás de la puerta de casas ajenas, y allí estaréis cabizbaxo y avergonzado, y tendréis la barriga pegada a las costillas de hambre, y andaréis de pueblo en pueblo discorriendo. Y demás desto, os afligirá la duda de la venta de vuestras mercaderías, que por ventura no se venderán, y desto tendréis tristeza y lloro. Antes que alcancéis algún caudal o buenaventura, habéis de ser afligido y trabajado hasta lo último de potencia. Y allende desto, muchas veces os será necesario dormir en algu[na]
