ponto é que ella queira, que eu, n’um abrir e fechar d’olhos, atiro com ella para cima d’uma égua de chupêta, que alli tenho, e o pae e mais o primo ficam a vêr navios.

the point is that she's willing; for I, in the blink of an eye, will throw her onto a swift little mare I have there, and father and cousin are left watching the ships go by.
