\nAcabadas estas palabras, todos los que estaban presentes comenzaban a llorar, así hombres como mujeres, despediéndose el que se partía. Y después comían y bebían todos.
\noffend them in any way. And if it is the will of our lord to finish my life on this road, this is my statement, and I depart duly comforted with it, no matter what happens next.”
\nWhen he had finished saying these words, all those present would start weeping, both the men and the women, as they said good-bye to the one who was leaving. And afterward, they would all eat and drink.

\nwill our lord grant? Perchance I shall yet come to look you in the face. For now I leave you. See to the sweeping and cleaning—the little tasks of sweeping, gathering of rubbish, and laying of fires. Let it not grow dark, nor rubbish stand cast about, in my humble house. Continue to do this. I go leaving only my beloved mother, my beloved great aunt, my beloved elder sister,1 my beloved aunt, etc. For I go troubled and saddened on their account. Do your duty to them; advise them. Let no one make sport of them. Perchance our lord may somewhere destroy me. So all I thus entrust to you, and my heart is content.”
\nThen all his household wept over it. There were tearful greetings by all the old merchants, men and women. But he who could not weep only continued to sob behind the others, seeming to weep. And afterwards there was a little rejoicing, consolation, and drinking, to drive away and disperse sorrow. So afterwards all departed and went, and each one entered his own home.
