Too noble to suspect
Read the full text in our reader
Álvaro, valente e corajoso, desprezava muito o seu inimigo para ter o menor receio dele; demais a sua alma nobre e leal, incapaz da mais pequena vilania, não pensava na traição. Nunca podia lembrar-lhe que um homem que o viera provocar e ia medir-se com ele num combate franco, levasse a infâmia a ponto de querer feri-lo pelas costas.
Álvaro, brave and courageous, despised his enemy too much to feel the least fear of him; besides, his noble and loyal soul, incapable of the smallest villainy, did not think of treachery. It could never occur to him that a man who had come to provoke him and was going to meet him in open combat would carry infamy to the point of wanting to wound him in the back.
