DON EDUARDO. Allí ... debajo de la cama ... y tú abre luego, y dile que he salido muy temprano, y que no volveré hasta la noche. DOÑA MATILDE. Eduardo.... DON EDUARDO. Abre ya ... antes que nos rompa la puerta. DOÑA MATILDE. Pero, Eduardo, no entiendo.... DON EDUARDO. Abre, abre. DOÑA MATILDE. ¡Dios mío! ¿Qué querrá decir esto? CASERO. ¡Vaya, y qué dormida estaba usted!
Some of them ran to the bulwarks, and shouted "Mercy! We surrender!" and the English broke into a cheer and called to them to run her alongside. "Silence!" shouted Amyas. "I take no surrender from mutineers. Senor," cried he to the captain, springing into the rigging and taking off his hat, "for the love of God and these men, strike! and surrender a buena querra."
The Carli version, reads, in connection with the two ships on that occasion: date restaurati ara V. S. M. inteso il discorso facemo con quelle armate in querra per li liti di Spagna, that is, "where being repaired, your serene majesty will have understood we made the cruize with THIS FLEET OF WAR along the coasts of Spain," from which it is to be implied only, that the cruize was for the purpose of depredating on Spanish commerce.
I answered him, I had no time to tell with him; if he would needs die, then I was the very man for him; if he would live, then, buena querra. He sends again, boasting that he was Don Pedro Valdez, and that it stood not with his honor, and that of the Dons in his company. I replied, that for my part, I was Francis Drake, and my matches burning.
DON EDUARDO. En que no se quiere recibir, ¿querrá usted decir? BRUNO. En que no se puede.... DON EDUARDO. En que no se quiere ... ¿a qué andar con rodeos? DON EDUARDO. Vaya ... ¿no es cierto que D. Pedro no quiere recibirme? Estoy por cantar de plano. DON EDUARDO. Ea, no tenga usted empacho ... ¿no es cierto?... BRUNO. Cierto ... ya que usted exige absolutamente....
"You are at liberty to assume what you please," retorted Bascomb. "I repeat that I hold no commission, no authority save that which is conferred by my own sword. And I surrender a buena querra, or not at all." "You surrender at discretion, or not at all, senor pirate. Which is it to be?" was the rejoinder. "Not at all, then," answered Bascomb.
"But as for us captains, really your excellency must consider that we are gentlemen born, and give us either buena querra, as the Spaniards say, or a fair chance for life; and so to my business." "Stay, sir. Answer this first. Have you or yours any commission to show either from the King of Spain or any other potentate?" "Never a one but the cause of Heaven and our own swords.
The Spaniard lifted his hat and bowed courteously, and answered, "Impossible, senor. No querra is good which stains my honor." "God have mercy on you, then!" "Amen!" said the Spaniard, crossing himself. She gave one awful lounge forward, and dived under the coming swell, hurling her crew into the eddies.
Then, indicating with a wave of his hand the troops present, which must have numbered some eight hundred at least, he said with a smile: "Senor, do you need any further argument than these to convince you of the desirability of surrendering at discretion?" "A buena querra?" demanded Bascomb, who had picked up a phrase or two of Spanish during his conversations with Marshall.
