And in the next, forasmuch as we attempt a matter of some difficulty and it may be perhaps a little too saucy to call back again the Muses from Helicon to so great a journey, especially in a matter they are wholly strangers to, it will be more suitable, perhaps, while I play the divine and make my way through such prickly quiddities, that I entreat the soul of Scotus, a thing more bristly than either porcupine or hedgehog, to leave his scorebone awhile and come into my breast, and then let him go whither he pleases, or to the dogs, I could wish also that I might change my countenance, or that I had on the square cap and the cassock, for fear some or other should impeach me of theft as if I had privily rifled our masters' desks in that I have got so much divinity.
teologo-papera betetzen arituko naizenez eta arantzadi horietan sartzen naizen bitartean, hobe Eskotoren arima bere Sorbonatik, arantzurdeak eta kirikinoak baino arantza biziagoak dituen arren, nire bularretara aldatuko balitz apur batean eta gero nahi duen tokira itzuli, deabruenera ere nahi badu. Hobe beste aurpegi bat hartzeko gai izango banintz eta teologo-itxuraz jantzi.
