Cipriano: “What made him wish to betray his master?”
Guards: “His heart is a grey dog, and a woman, a grey bitch, enticed him forth.”
Cipriano: “What woman enticed the grey dog forth?”
The guards came forward with the woman.
Guards: “This woman, Maruca, my Lord, with the grey bitch heart.”
Cipriano: “Is it she, indeed?”
Guards: “It is she.”
Cipriano: “The grey dog, and the grey bitch, we kill, for their mouths are yellow with poison? Is it well, men of Huitzilopochtli?”
Guards: “It is very well, my Lord.”
