-Cuélguese -les dijeron- la armadura en la plaza Mayor de la villa; que si el diablo la ocupa, fuerza le será el abandonarla o ahorcarse con ella.
Encantados los habitantes de Bellver con tan ingeniosa solución, volvieron a reunirse en concejo, mandaron levantar una altísima horca en la plaza, y cuando ya la multitud ocupaba sus avenidas, se dirigieron a la cárcel por la armadura, en corporación y con toda la solemnidad que la importancia del caso requería.

Been delighted the inhabitants of Bellver with so ingenious solution, met again in council, ordered to raise the highest gallows in the square, and when the multitude was already occupying his avenues, went to the jail for the armor, in corporation and with the whole solemnity that the importance of the case needed.
