que sería próspero en la guerra y tomaría tantos captivos cuantas espinas recibió, y que sería próspero y reverenciado en este mundo, con riquezas y honras y insignies de valiente hombre. También se decía que el que la asía del corazón a la fantasma y se le arrancaba de presto sin decirle nada, echaba a huir con el corazón y le escondía y le guardaba con gran diligencia, envolviéndole y atándole fuertemente con algunos paños. Y después, a la mañana, desenvolvíale y miraba qué era aquello que había arrancado, y si vía alguna cosa buena en el paño, como es pluma floxa como algodón o algunas espinas de maguey, como una o dos, tenía señal que le había de venir buenaventura y prosperidad. Y si por ventura hallaba en el paño carbones o algún andraxo o pedazo de manta roto y sucio, en esto conocía que le había de venir malaventura y miseria. Y si aquel que oía estos golpes nocturnos era algún hombre de poco ánimo y cobarde, ni la perseguía ni iba tras ella, sino temblaba de temor y cortábase de miedo.
