Lo que yo merezco, señor, es ceguedad de los ojos y tollimiento y pudrimiento de los miembros, andar vestido de un andraxo y de una manta rota. Éste es mi merecido y lo que se me debía dar. Y yo soy el que tengo necesidad de ser regido y de ser traído a cuestas, pues que tenéis muchos amigos y muchos conocidos a quien pudéis encomendar este cargo. Pero, pues que ya tenéis determinado de ponerme en escarnio y risa del mundo, hágase vuestra voluntad y vuestro querer, y cúmplase vuestra palabra.
