o te quebrarán la cabeza en una loza, o te ahogarán con una soga, o te asaetearán. O por ventura por ahí te tomarán cuando comes o cuando bebes. O por ventura llegarán sobre ti cuando estuvieres en el acto carnal con alguna mujer ajena o cuando estuvieres hurtando en alguna casa las cosas que están guardadas en las caxas o en los cofres. Y por esa misma causa te quebrantarán la cabeza con una losa y te echarán arrastrando en la plaza, o en el camino, o en la calle. Y ansí infamarás a ti a tus antepasados, y dirán dellos: "A este bellaco dexaron su padre y su madre mal castigado, mal disciplinado, mal criado, los cuales se llamaban N. Y bien los parece en las costumbres: como lo que se sembró nace semejante a la semilla." O por ventura dirán: "¡Oh, malaventurado de hombre, deshonrador de sus antepasados, los cuales dexaron y engendraron a un bellaco como este que agora los deshonra y avergüenza!" O por ventura dirán: "Gran bellaquería ha hecho éste." Y aunque seas noble y del palacio, ¿dexarán de decir de ti? ¿Aunque seas generoso y ilustre? No, por cierto.
