-It is the case -Sancho replied-, that as your mercy better knows, we are all subject to death, and that today we are and tomorrow, and how lending the lamb like the ram, and that no one can promise in this world more hours of life that God would like to give him; Because death is deaf, and when it comes to call at the gates of our life, it always goes from Priesa and will not stop it or pray, forces, nor scenes, nor mitras, according to public voice and fame, and as we are They say for those pulpit.
Sancho reflects on the inevitability of death, emphasizing that everyone is subject to it. He notes that while people may believe they can predict their lifespan, ultimately, it is beyond their control. He suggests that death arrives swiftly and unexpectedly, often disregarding pleas or rituals meant to ward it off.
Through this dialogue, Cervantes illustrates a profound truth about human existence: the unpredictability of life and the certainty of death. Sancho's words remind readers of the futility of trying to secure more time than is allotted by divine will, highlighting the need for humility in the face of mortality.
