Marking that she made no doubt but that the girl was to be his wife, and yet spoke never a whit the less sweetly, Gualtieri caused her to sit down beside him, and: -- "Griselda," said he, "'tis now time that thou see the reward of thy long patience, and that those, who have deemed me cruel and unjust and insensate, should know that what I did was done of purpose aforethought, for that I was minded to give both thee and them a lesson, that thou mightst learn to be a wife, and they in like manner might learn how to take and keep a wife, and that I might beget me perpetual peace with thee for the rest of my life; whereof being in great fear, when I came to take a wife, lest I should be disappointed, I therefore, to put the matter to the proof, did, and how sorely thou knowest, harass and afflict thee.

Gualtieri, viendo que creía firmemente que aquélla iba a ser su mujer, y no por ello decía algo que no fuese bueno, la hizo sentarse a su lado y dijo: -Griselda, tiempo es ya de que recojas el fruto de tu larga paciencia y de que quienes me han juzgado cruel e inicuo y bestial sepan que lo que he hecho lo hacía con vistas a un fin, queriendo enseñarte a ser mujer, y a ellos saber elegirla y guardarla, y lograr yo perpetua paz mientras contigo tuviera que vivir; lo que, cuando tuve que tomar mujer, gran miedo tuve de no conseguirlo; y por ello, para probar si era cierto, de cuantas maneras sabes te herí y te golpeé.
