CHAP.
I.
The
Condition
and
Quality
of
DON
QUIXOTE
;
with
the
Reasons
and
Manner
of
his
first
Engageing
Himself
in
Hazardous
Enterprizes
and
Noble
Atchievements
.
IN
some
part
of
Mancha
,
of
which
the
Name
is
at
present
slipt
out
of
my
Memory
,
not
many
years
ago
,
there
liv'd
a
certain
Country
Squire
,
of
the
Race
of
King
Arthur's
Tilters
,
that
formerly
wander'd
from
Town
to
Town
,
Cas'd
up
in
Rusty
old
Iron
,
with
Lance
in
Rest
,
and
a
Knight-Templers
Target
;
bestriding
a
forlorn
Pegasus
,
as
Lean
as
a
Dover
Post-Horse
,
and
a
confounded
Founder'd
Jade
to
boot
.
Beef-steaks
stew'd
in
a
Nasty
Pipkin
,
with
a
Red-Herring
to
taste
his
Liquor
a
Nights
;
Fasting
and
Prayer
a
Fridays
,
parch'd
Pease
a
Saturdays
,
with
a
Lark
now
and
then
a
Sundays
to
mend
his
Commons
,
consum'd
three
parts
of
his
Estate
.
The
rest
he
as
prodigally
wasted
in
an
extravagant
Wardrobe
:
In
which
was
an
ancient
Plush-Jacket
,
purchas'd
from
a
Mountebanks
Widow
;
a
Pair
of
Black
Bays
Breeches
for
Holidays
,
purchas'd
of
the
Hangman
;
and
a
Pair
of
Boots
,
first
Exchang'd
for
Heath-Brooms
,
and
then
new
Vamp't
by
the
Cobler
;
with
one
Spur
and
Spur-Leather
;
well
knowing
,
that
if
one
side
of
the
Horse
went
forward
,
the
other
must
follow
.
And
you
may
add
to
these
his
Extravagances
,
one
Sute
more
of
Irish
Frize
for
Worky-days
.
He
kept
in
his
House
a
grave
Matron
of
Fifty
for
Service
,
a
Niece
of
Twenty
for
private
Recreation
,
and
a
Skip-kennel
to
Saddle
his
Horse
,
and
F●ob
Orchards
for
Second
Course
.
The
Master
himself
was
in
his
Fortieth
year
;
strong
of
Constitution
,
but
the
Skin
of
his
Face
wither'd
like
a
Winter-Pippin
;
an
Early
Riser
,
and
a
great
Night-Walker
.
Some
there
are
who
assert
,
that
he
bore
the
Sirname
of
Quixada
,
or
Quesada
(
tho
they
who
write
his
Life
are
at
great
variance
one
amongst
another
as
to
this
particular
)
,
yet
by
most
probable
conjectures
the
Addition
of
Quixada
may
be
well
enough
allow'd
him
.
But
let
that
pass
,
it
not
being
a
straw
matter
to
our
purpose
what
his
Sirname
was
,
or
whether
he
had
a
Sirname
or
no
;
For
it
is
our
business
to
Write
the
Truth
,
the
whole
Truth
,
and
nothing
but
the
Truth
.
Know
then
,
That
this
same
Worshipful
Gentleman
,
whenever
he
had
any
leisure
time
to
spare
(
which
was
for
the
most
part
all
the
Year
long
)
dedicated
his
vacant
Hours
to
the
Reading
Stories
of
Knight
Errantry
;
which
he
did
with
such
an
eager
Appetite
and
earnest
Devotion
,
that
he
forgot
all
his
other
Exercises
,
and
let
his
Estate
go
at
six
and
sevens
.
Nay
,
such
was
the
Folly
of
this
Country
Squire
in
the
prosecution
of
his
vain
Studies
,
that
he
made
his
Lands
Errant
before
himself
,
and
sold
a
fair
Estate
to
buy
Books
of
Knight-Errantry
to
gratifie
his
Curiosity
;
insomuch
,
that
he
stufft
his
small
Cottage
with
whole
Wheel-barrow
Loads
of
that
sort
of
Waste
Paper
.
Yet
none
of
those
famous
Writers
tickl'd
his
Fancy
like
the
Works
of
the
Renown'd
Feliciano
de
Sylva
:
For
he
look'd
upon
the
clearness
of
his
Stile
,
enterlac'd
and
embellish'd
with
certain
quaint
Ginglings
and
chiming
Expressions
,
as
so
many
Jewels
of
Eloquence
;
especially
when
he
came
to
read
the
Love-Letters
and
Amorous
Billets
of
the
Knights
to
their
Ladies
;
and
the
haughty
Challenges
which
the
disgusted
Champions
sent
one
to
another
.
As
where
he
found
these
Charms
of
his
Understanding
:
The
Reason
of
your
Unreasonableness
,
which
has
affronted
my
Reason
,
has
incens'd
my
Reason
in
such
a
manner
,
that
I
have
just
Reason
to
Complain
of
your
Beauty
.
And
when
in
another
place
he
met
with
the
following
Rapture
:
The
Sublime
Heavens
of
your
Divinity
,
that
raise
you
to
the
Stars
,
and
make
you
the
Deserver
of
the
Desert
which
your
Grandeur
Deserves
.
Such
Conceits
and
Whimsies
as
these
,
had
so
disturb'd
the
Thoughts
of
our
distracted
Knight
,
that
he
took
no
Repose
Day
or
Night
,
but
continually
plagu'd
and
tormented
his
Brains
,
to
unravel
those
profound
Mysteries
which
Aristotle
himself
would
ne're
have
been
able
to
have
done
,
could
they
have
rais'd
him
from
the
Dead
to
that
intent
.
He
could
by
no
means
endure
to
hear
of
those
unreasonable
and
inhuman
Cuts
and
Gashes
which
Don
Belianis
both
gave
to
others
and
receiv'd
himself
.
For
he
consider'd
,
that
such
cursed
Slashes
as
those
,
let
the
Surgeon
be
never
so
skilful
,
could
ne're
be
Cur'd
without
the
Face
and
Body
being
strangely
disfigur'd
with
the
Scars
and
Marks
of
Quarrelsom
Honour
.
Nevertheless
,
he
highly
applauded
in
that
Author
,
the
concluding
his
Book
with
a
Promise
of
the
Remaining
part
of
those
wond'rous
Adventures
.
And
many
times
,
not
finding
Him
so
good
as
his
word
,
he
had
an
itching
desire
to
have
turn'd
Romancer
,
and
to
have
supply'd
the
unfortunate
neglect
of
that
forgetful
Gentlemen
,
by
putting
an
end
to
the
Story
himself
:
Which
others
say
he
certainly
had
done
,
had
not
his
Thoughts
been
wholly
employ'd
upon
far
more
important
and
weighty
Designs
.
Moreover
,
this
Scorbutic
Humour
of
his
had
like
to
have
been
prejudicial
to
his
Soul's
Health
:
For
the
Curate
of
the
Parish
and
He
could
never
meet
over
a
Pot
of
Nappy
Drink
and
a
Game
at
Back-Gammon
,
but
they
were
always
at
Daggers-drawing
about
who
was
the
bravest
Kill-Giant
,
Palmerin
of
England
or
Amadis
de
Gaul
:
But
Didymus
,
a
Barber
of
the
same
Village
,
affirm'd
to
his
Teeth
,
that
there
was
none
to
compare
with
the
Knight
of
the
Sun
;
yet
if
any
one
came
near
him
,
for
fore-stroke
and
back-stroke
,
't
was
Don
Galaor
the
Brother
of
Amadis
de
Gaul
;
for
besides
that
he
was
better
born
by
the
Mothers
side
,
and
better
bred
,
for
a
true
Bear-Garden
Cut
and
Slash
there
was
no
man
living
out-did
him
.
Fix'd
in
his
Resolutions
he
betook
himself
so
passionately
and
with
so
much
eagerness
to
his
Studies
,
that
a
Nights
he
por'd
on
from
Sun-set
to
Sun-rise
,
and
a
Days
from
Sun-rise
to
Sun-set
.
And
thus
,
by
Sleeping
so
little
and
Reading
so
much
,
he
exhausted
the
moisture
of
his
Brain
to
that
Degree
,
that
the
Vehicle
of
his
Understanding
being
quite
dry'd
up
,
his
Senses
forsook
their
Quarters
.
In
the
mean
time
,
his
empty
Pericranium
was
stufft
with
nothing
but
the
Lumber
of
Enchantments
,
Quarrels
,
Encounters
,
Battels
,
Challenges
,
Wounds
,
Love-Letters
,
Amorous
Addresses
,
Torments
of
Despair
,
Horrible
Woes
,
Dire
Distresses
,
Labyrinths
,
Intrigues
,
Possibilities
,
Impossibilities
,
and
a
World
of
other
Trompery
.
And
these
charming
Follies
had
taken
so
deep
a
root
in
his
Fancy
,
that
he
believ'd
for
Gospel
all
the
frivolous
Fables
and
Chimera's
that
he
read
.
He
admir'd
the
Cid
Rudiaz
for
a
most
Valiant
Knight
;
but
not
to
be
compar'd
with
the
Knight
of
the
Burning
Pestle
;
for
he
with
one
back
swinge
of
his
Faulchion
cut
in
two
i'
the
middle
two
famous
Gyants
,
both
near
as
tall
as
two
ordinary
Steeples
,
and
about
ten
Yards
about
i'
the
Wast
.
But
he
had
an
extraordinary
opinion
of
Bernardo
del
Carpio
,
who
sent
the
Enchanted
Roldan
to
the
Devil
,
lifting
him
up
from
the
Ground
by
the
Buttocks
with
one
Hand
,
and
griping
his
Wezant
so
hard
with
the
other
,
that
he
Choak'd
him
in
four
Minutes
,
as
Hercules
did
Anteus
.
He
always
spoke
very
Honourably
of
the
Gyant
Morgante
;
who
tho
he
were
descended
from
the
most
cruel
and
savage
Race
of
all
the
Gyants
,
yet
always
carried
himself
like
a
person
that
had
something
of
Breeding
and
Gentility
in
him
.
But
above
all
the
rest
he
Extoll'd
to
the
Skies
Raynaldo
of
Montalbon
;
among
whose
Atchievements
,
there
was
none
pleas'd
him
so
to
the
Life
,
as
when
he
Sally'd
out
of
his
Castle
and
Rob'd
all
that
he
met
upon
the
Road
,
Man
,
Woman
,
and
Child
:
And
then
again
,
when
he
stole
the
Idol
of
Mahomet
,
which
was
all
of
Gold
,
and
pawn'd
it
when
he
had
done
to
new
Rig
his
Harlot
.
In
short
,
having
thus
lost
his
Wits
,
the
strangest
Whimsie
enter'd
his
Noddle
,
that
ever
pester'd
a
Distracted
Skull
.
For
now
,
such
was
the
Result
of
all
his
Studies
and
Meditations
,
That
as
a
thing
that
was
not
only
convenient
,
but
absolutely
necessary
,
as
well
for
the
increase
of
his
Honour
as
for
the
public
Good
,
nothing
else
in
the
World
would
serve
him
,
but
he
must
needs
Dub
himself
and
turn
Knight
Errant
;
with
a
design
to
roam
about
the
World
in
quest
of
Adventures
,
and
to
put
in
practice
whatever
he
had
Read
,
in
imitation
of
those
wand'ring
Champions
in
former
times
,
that
trotted
from
Post
to
Pillar
,
Pot
valiant
and
Fool-hardy
,
seeking
all
occasions
to
pick
Quarrels
for
the
Relief
of
injur'd
Virgins
,
abus'd
Marry'd
Women
,
and
oppress'd
Widows
,
in
defiance
of
all
Danger
;
and
after
great
Atchievements
thus
perform'd
,
to
rest
his
weary
Bones
and
Bruis'd
Limbs
in
the
Bed
of
immortal
Honour
.
Poor
in
Purse
,
but
Rich
in
Conceit
,
he
had
already
in
Imagination
the
Diadem
of
Persia
.
And
therefore
flatter'd
with
these
bewitching
Dreams
,
and
pufft
up
with
a
thousand
soaring
Thoughts
,
he
prepares
with
expedition
to
take
the
Field
.
The
first
thing
he
did
,
was
to
scour
an
old
Suit
of
Armour
,
that
had
been
his
Father's
Grandfather's
Great-Grandfather's
Father's
;
as
Rusty
as
the
Keyhole
of
a
Miser's
Powdering
Tub
,
which
for
many
Ages
had
been
laid
up
and
forgotten
in
a
mouldy
Hamper
among
the
Garret-Lumber
.
But
when
he
had
Rubb'd
with
a
dry
Brick
(
as
bright
as
their
Age
would
permit
)
the
Cuirace
,
Vambraces
,
and
Gauntlets
,
the
Devil
of
any
Helmet
could
be
found
,
but
only
a
single
Head
piece
.
However
his
Industry
and
Ingenuity
supply'd
that
defect
,
by
pasting
together
several
pieces
of
Brown
Paper
;
of
which
he
made
himself
a
most
complete
Vizor
to
defend
his
Nose
and
Eyes
.
This
Invention
pleas'd
him
wonderfully
;
nevertheless
to
make
Tryal
whether
it
were
proof
against
a
Gyants
strong
Arm
and
keen
Cutlace
to
boot
,
he
presently
drew
forth
his
own
Sword
.
But
so
it
was
,
shame
light
on
all
ill
luck
,
that
with
one
puissant
stroke
he
spoil'd
the
Toil
and
Labour
of
a
whole
Week
.
Scorning
,
however
,
to
be
daunted
by
his
first
Misfortune
,
he
fell
again
to
work
with
his
brown
Paper
and
Paste
;
and
warn'd
by
his
first
Miscarriage
,
he
bethought
himself
of
putting
a
thin
Plate
of
Iron
between
every
piece
of
Paper
;
which
he
did
so
artificially
,
as
if
he
had
been
Tubal-Cain
himself
,
that
now
fully
satisfi'd
with
the
strength
and
sufficiency
of
his
Workmanship
,
he
resolv'd
to
confide
in
his
Ingenuity
,
without
any
farther
Trial
.
In
the
next
place
,
he
went
to
visit
his
Warlike
Steed
;
which
tho
a
lean
ill-favour'd
Jade
,
whose
Bones
stuck
out
like
the
Corners
of
a
Spanish
Reyal
,
with
more
Defects
than
a
Brewer's
Mill-horse
,
yet
he
valu'd
equal
to
Alexander's
Bucephalus
,
or
Cesar's
cloven-footed
Barb
.
Four
Days
together
he
spent
in
considering
what
Name
to
give
him
;
for
(
as
he
argu'd
very
well
with
himself
)
there
was
no
Reason
that
a
Hobby
,
which
carry'd
so
famous
a
Knight
,
should
be
without
a
remarkable
Name
,
especially
a
Beast
so
serviceable
as
he
was
;
and
therefore
he
labour'd
to
give
him
such
a
Name
,
as
should
demonstrate
as
well
what
he
had
been
before
he
had
the
Honour
to
bear
the
burthen
of
a
Knight-Errant
,
as
what
he
was
afterwards
.
Besides
,
he
thought
it
but
fit
,
since
the
Master
had
chang'd
his
Condition
,
that
the
Horse
also
should
change
his
Name
,
and
get
him
a
new
one
,
a
brave
sonorous
Word
,
to
make
a
noise
in
the
Air
,
as
it
parted
from
Tongue
,
befitting
the
Respect
and
Esteem
that
was
due
to
the
Quality
and
Profession
of
his
Owner
.
And
so
at
length
,
after
several
Names
,
which
with
long
Study
and
Meditation
,
came
into
mind
,
rejecting
some
,
blotting
out
others
,
chopping
and
changing
,
dashing
out
,
putting
in
,
scratching
his
Pate
,
rubbing
his
Forehead
,
twitching
his
Beard
,
at
last
he
pitch'd
upon
the
celebrated
and
altisonant
Name
of
Rozinante
.
A
Name
to
his
heart's
desire
,
a
lofty
,
loud
sounding
,
Riddle-unfolding
,
Sense-explaining
Name
,
pointing
from
his
first
Condition
of
a
Pack
horse
,
to
the
high
Degree
of
a
Hackney-Errant
.
Now
having
found
out
a
Name
,
so
much
to
his
satisfaction
for
his
Horse
,
his
next
care
was
to
find
out
some
signal
Appellative
for
himself
;
to
which
purpose
he
sate
in
serious
Council
with
his
own
Thoughts
Eight
Days
more
.
At
the
end
of
which
,
he
concluded
upon
the
Worshipful
,
Right-Worshipful
,
Honourable
,
Right-Honourable
Name
of
Don
Quixote
:
From
whence
the
most
celebrated
Authors
of
this
unquestionable
History
infer
,
That
his
true
Name
was
Quixada
,
and
not
Quesada
,
as
others
erroneously
conjecture
.
And
finding
that
the
valiant
Amadis
,
not
content
with
the
bare
plain
Name
of
Amadis
,
without
the
Addition
of
his
Nation
and
Country
,
to
lace
it
,
and
render
it
famous
,
gave
himself
the
Title
of
Amadis
de
Gaul
;
he
deem'd
it
most
highly
proper
to
embellish
his
own
Name
like
a
fring'd
Pair
of
Gloves
,
with
the
Trimming
of
his
Country's
Denomination
,
and
therefore
call'd
Himself
Don
Quixote
of
the
Mancha
,
as
well
to
honour
the
Hamlet
of
his
Nativity
,
as
to
let
the
World
know
the
place
of
his
Birth
.
And
thus
having
scour'd
his
Arms
,
made
himself
a
Beaver
to
his
Iron
Sculcap
,
and
found
out
a
Name
both
for
his
Beast
and
Himself
;
he
consider'd
,
that
there
was
nothing
now
wanting
more
,
but
to
find
out
a
Gypsie
Mort
for
the
exercise
of
his
Courtship
,
and
to
be
the
Lady
of
his
Affections
;
for
that
a
Knight-Errant
without
a
Doxie
,
was
like
a
Tree
without
Leaves
,
or
a
Body
without
a
Soul
.
Said
he
to
himself
,
should
it
happen
,
for
the
punishment
of
my
Sins
,
or
for
some
spite
the
Devil
may
owe
me
,
that
I
should
meet
with
some
Giant
,
as
it
is
usual
for
Knight-Errants
to
do
,
and
I
should
lay
him
sprawling
at
the
first
Encounter
,
or
sliver
him
into
two
equal
parts
,
and
so
become
the
Lord
and
Master
of
his
miraculous
Carkace
,
would
it
not
be
proper
for
me
to
send
these
Trophies
of
my
Valour
to
some
Lady
or
other
?
And
that
the
Giant
,
vanquish'd
and
mangl'd
as
he
was
,
should
,
at
his
first
entry
into
her
presence
,
throw
himself
at
her
Feet
,
and
with
a
low
and
trembling
Voice
,
should
cry
,
Fairest
of
Ladies
,
I
am
the
Giant
Caraculiambro
,
Lord
of
the
Island
of
Malindrama
,
vanquish'd
in
single
Fight
by
the
ever
,
as
he
ought
to
be
,
most
renown'd
and
valiant
Knight
,
Don
Quixote
of
the
Mancha
,
who
has
here
sent
me
to
present
my self
a
prostrate
Captive
to
your
Illustrious
Sublimity
,
for
your
Highness
to
dispose
of
at
your
own
most
absolute
Will
and
Pleasure
.
You
cannot
imagine
how
the
Knight
was
transported
with
Joy
,
after
he
had
thus
discours'd
with
himself
;
more
especially
,
having
withal
bethought
himself
where
to
find
a
Trugmallion
fit
for
his
turn
.
For
,
as
concurring
Fates
would
have
it
,
there
liv'd
,
it
seems
,
in
a
Village
adjoining
to
his
own
Lordship
,
a
young
fresh-colour'd
smerking
Country-Wench
that
went
for
a
Maid
,
but
in
truth
,
was
a
crackt
piece
of
Ware
,
with
whom
the
Knight
had
formerly
been
in
Love
;
tho
for
her
part
,
she
knew
nothing
of
it
,
nor
took
any
Cognizance
of
his
Kindness
.
Her
Name
was
Aldonça
Lorenço
;
and
this
was
she
of
whom
he
made
choice
to
be
the
Idol
of
his
amorous
Devotions
;
and
then
pumping
for
a
Name
to
call
her
by
,
that
might
be
sutable
to
his
own
,
and
correspond
with
the
Dignity
of
so
great
a
Lady
and
Princess
,
as
she
was
like
to
be
;
at
length
he
pitch'd
upon
the
Name
of
Dulcinea
del
Toboso
,
for
that
his
Mistress
was
a
Native
of
that
Village
.
An
Invention
that
wonderfully
pleas'd
him
,
to
hear
the
smooth
,
musical
,
poetical
Running
of
the
Syllables
,
so
proper
for
Sonnets
,
Madrigals
,
and
Serenades
;
and
the
Majesty
of
Toboso
,
that
brought
up
the
Tail
of
the
Name
.
CHAP.
II
.
Of
Don
Quixote's
first
Frolick
;
or
his
solemn
Departure
from
his
Native
Habitation
.
HAving
made
these
Provisions
,
and
secured
himself
against
all
Accidents
,
he
resolv'd
no
longer
to
delay
his
entrance
upon
the
Stage
of
the
World
,
as
now
believing
himself
guilty
of
all
the
Mischiefs
,
all
the
Wrongs
and
Injustices
committed
among
mortal
men
,
which
he
had
power
both
to
redress
and
prevent
.
And
so
,
one
morning
before
day
,
in
the
Summer-heat
of
July
,
without
imparting
his
Design
so
much
as
to
his
Shirt
,
or
being
perceiv'd
by
any
Creature
living
,
he
cases
himself
in
Iron
from
top
to
toe
,
laces
on
his
Helmet
,
hangs
his
Target
at
his
left
shoulder
,
takes
Lance
in
Hand
,
and
then
mounting
Rozinante
,
away
he
sneak'd
out
at
a
private
Gate
of
a
Back-yard
into
the
free
and
open
Field
,
transported
at
the
prosperous
Success
of
such
a
noble
Design
.
But
hardly
had
he
jogg'd
on
above
a
hundred
slow
Paces
from
his
Habitation
,
when
a
most
terrible
scruple
of
Conscience
had
like
to
have
ruin'd
all
,
and
put
him
upon
the
dismal
Resolution
of
renouncing
the
whole
Enterprise
.
For
it
came
into
his
Mind
,
wretched
Man
as
he
was
,
that
he
had
never
yet
been
Dubb'd
,
as
the
Laws
of
Knighthood
requir'd
;
and
therefore
that
he
neither
could
,
nor
ought
to
Challenge
,
or
Combate
any
profess'd
Knight
.
And
,
which
was
more
,
that
as
a
Probationer
only
,
it
became
him
to
wear
white
Armour
,
and
not
to
carry
any
Device
or
Motto
in
his
Shield
,
till
he
had
signaliz'd
himself
by
some
remarkable
Encounter
.
These
weighty
Considerations
put
him
in
a
strange
Quandary
,
till
at
length
his
Vanity
having
surmounted
his
Reason
,
he
resolv'd
to
be
dubb'd
by
the
next
Person
he
met
,
in
imitation
of
several
others
,
who
had
done
the
like
,
as
he
had
observ'd
in
the
continual
Progress
of
his
Studies
.
As
for
that
Nicety
concerning
the
Colour
of
his
Arms
,
he
was
soon
rid
of
it
,
when
he
bethought
himself
that
he
had
both
powder'd
Brick
,
and
leisure
sufficient
,
to
pollish
and
burnish
'em
,
that
they
should
look
as
white
as
the
driv'n
Snow
.
And
thus
having
appeas'd
these
mutinous
Qualms
,
on
he
troop'd
the
pace
of
a
Butter-woman's
old
Mare
,
leaving
it
to
the
Discretion
of
his
Horse
to
go
which
Way
he
pleas'd
;
believing
assuredly
,
that
it
was
only
in
that
,
wherein
the
very
Essence
and
Being
of
all
Adventures
consisted
.
In
this
slow
March
,
a
thousand
Dreams
and
Fancies
rocking
his
delighted
Soul
;
What
a
charming
Pleasure
will
it
questionless
be
,
said
he
,
for
Ages
to
come
,
to
read
the
Story
of
my
famous
Acts
!
When
the
grave
and
serious
Penman
of
this
my
first
Career
in
Search
of
Fame
,
shall
thus
begin
.
Scarce
had
the
Bright-hair'd
Phoebus
began
to
dishevel
his
gold'n
Tresses
o're
the
silent
Earth
;
and
scarce
the
little
Birds
had
tun'd
their
Pipes
to
sing
their
early
Welcomes
to
the
beautiful
Aurora
,
who
having
newly
left
her
jealous
Paramour's
Bed
,
began
to
shew
her self
to
drowzie
Mortals
,
from
the
Balconies
of
La
Mancha's
Horizon
,
when
the
renowned
Knight
,
Don
Quixote
disdaining
effeminate
Repose
,
and
the
soft
Pleasures
of
voluptuous
Dreams
,
mounting
his
fierce
Courser
,
Rosinante
,
entred
the
ancient
and
delightful
Plains
of
Montiel
.
For
to
tell
ye
truth
,
that
was
the
very
Road
he
took
.
And
then
proceeding
;
Oh
happy
Age
,
said
he
,
and
happy
Sons
of
Men
,
which
now
the
Gods
have
deem'd
worthy
to
behold
transcendent
Acts
of
Valour
,
and
be
the
Witnesses
of
my
Atchievements
,
more
fit
to
be
engraven
on
Columns
of
Brass
,
and
cut
in
Marble
Pillars
,
as
Monuments
of
my
Glory
,
and
Examples
for
future
Ages
.
And
thou
,
whose
Fate
soever
it
shall
be
to
register
th'
Effects
of
my
astonishing
Prowess
,
Forget
not
,
I
beseech
thee
,
to
publish
to
the
World
the
Vigour
and
Courage
of
my
Rosinante
,
the
faithful
and
constant
Companion
of
my
Adventures
.
Out
of
these
he
rambl'd
into
other
Discourses
;
and
,
as
if
he
had
been
really
and
truly
up
to
the
hard
Ears
in
Love
.
Oh
,
Princess
Dulcinea
,
quo
He
,
sole
Mistress
of
this
Captive
Heart
!
Justly
must
I
complain
of
your
Injustice
in
thus
condemning
me
to
live
an
Exile
from
your
Presence
,
and
imposing
on
me
your
severe
and
rigorous
Commands
never
to
behold
your
Beauties
more
.
Remember
,
most
illustrious
Lady
,
and
th'
only
Empress
of
my
Thoughts
,
remember
,
I
say
,
the
Pains
I
take
,
and
the
Hardship
which
I
undergo
,
all
for
love
of
Thee
.
With
raving
,
such
as
these
,
he
entertain'd
his
Thoughts
,
and
such
like
Ejaculations
,
which
he
had
cond
'
by
Heart
from
Volumes
of
Romances
;
and
these
enchanting
Dotages
had
so
possess'd
and
stupify'd
his
Reason
,
that
he
never
minded
the
parching
Heat
of
the
Sun
,
which
now
shot
down
his
Beams
so
perpendicular
upon
his
Coxcomb
,
enough
to
have
broil'd
his
Brains
,
had
he
but
had
a
Scull
to
have
contain'd
a
Dram
of
Intellect
.
He
travel'd
all
that
Day
however
,
without
meeting
any
Adventure
worthy
the
Trouble
of
Relation
,
which
put
him
into
a
kind
of
Despair
;
such
was
his
Impatience
to
try
the
Strength
of
his
Arm.
Now
here
it
is
that
Authors
disagree
;
for
some
aver
,
That
the
first
Adventure
which
flesh'd
our
Knight-Errant
,
was
that
of
the
Lapicean
Gate
:
Others
,
that
of
the
Wind-mills
:
But
all
that
I
can
discover
in
this
matter
,
and
what
I
meet
with
in
the
Annals
of
La
Mancha
,
is
only
this
;
That
all
that
Day
,
his
Horse
and
He
stept
on
,
travelling
fair
and
softly
;
and
that
toward
the
Evening
they
were
both
ready
to
perish
for
Hunger
,
and
so
tir'd
,
that
Rosinante
could
hardly
stand
upon
his
Legs
.
At
what
time
,
Don
Quixote
looking
wistly
about
him
,
in
hopes
to
discover
either
some
Castle
,
or
Shepherd's
lowly
Cottage
,
where
to
rest
himself
and
his
weary
Steed
,
by
and
by
espy'd
an
Inn
;
a
Sight
more
welcome
than
a
Land
mark
to
a
Tempest-driv'n
Pilot
.
Thereupon
,
Necessity
vanquishing
Compassion
,
he
quickn'd
feeble
Rosinante
with
a
Spur
,
and
arriv'd
at
the
Inn
upon
the
shutting
in
of
Daylight
.
Now
it
happen'd
,
that
at
the
same
time
two
young
Females
,
otherwise
call'd
Daughters
of
Joy
,
who
were
to
go
the
next
Day
to
Sevile
with
the
Carrier
,
stood
cooling
themselves
at
the
Inn
Door
.
This
fell
luckily
out
;
for
the
Knight-Errant
,
whose
Head
was
intoxicated
with
Romances
,
and
made
all
his
Conjectures
by
his
Reading
,
no
sooner
saw
the
Inn
,
but
he
imagin'd
it
to
be
a
Castle
with
four
Towers
,
which
his
strong
Fancy
as
soon
had
fortify'd
with
Motes
and
Draw-bridges
,
and
all
those
other
Securities
of
Fortification
describ'd
in
the
Stories
of
Knight-Errantry
.
Therefore
he
stopp'd
a
while
at
a
distance
from
the
Gate
of
this
imaginary
Fortress
,
expecting
when
some
Dwarf
would
sound
his
Horn
upon
the
Plat-form
,
to
give
Notice
of
the
Arrival
of
a
strange
Knight
.
But
finding
that
no
Dwarf
appear'd
,
and
that
Rosinante
had
more
mind
to
he
i'
the
Scable
,
he
advanc'd
to
the
Inn
Gate
,
where
espying
the
two
young
Hackney-Sinners
before
mention'd
,
he
took'em
for
Ladies
of
great
Quality
standing
for
the
benefit
of
the
fresh
Air
,
at
the
Gate
of
the
Castle
.
It
happen'd
also
at
the
instant
Time
,
as
Luck
would
have
it
,
that
a
Swineherd
hard
by
,
sounded
his
Horn
three
times
to
call
home
his
Hoggs
;
which
was
delicious
Musick
in
Don
Quixote's
Ear
,
who
now
believed
,
that
the
Dwarf
had
given
notice
of
his
Approach
.
Thereupon
,
with
a
Joy
unspeakeable
,
he
rode
gravely
up
to
the
two
Jilts
;
who
beholding
a
Man
so
formidable
cas'd
in
Iron
up
to
his
very
Teeth
,
and
loaden
beside
with
his
War-like
Lumber
of
Lance
and
Buckler
,
as
those
that
were
more
us'd
to
naked
Conversation
,
and
disarm'd
Carnality
,
were
about
to
run
for
't
.
But
then
,
Don
Quixote
rightly
conjecturing
their
Terror
by
their
Flight
,
lifting
up
his
Past
board
Visor
,
and
discovering
his
wither'd
,
dusty
Countenance
,
with
a
comely
Grace
,
and
grave
Delivery
:
Ladies
,
quo
he
,
be
not
afraid
;
for
be
secure
,
your
Flight
is
groundless
:
The
Order
of
Knighthood
,
which
I
profess
,
permits
me
not
to
injure
any
Person
,
much
less
such
fair
and
vertuous
Ladies
as
your selves
.
Those
soft
Expressions
stopt
their
Career
,
so
that
they
turn'd
back
to
,
and
viewed
with
Admiration
the
ridiculous
Figure
of
the
rusty
Apparition
,
that
spoke
with
so
much
Affability
,
and
yet
they
could
not
see
any
Mouth
he
had
.
But
that
which
made
'em
most
merry
,
was
to
hear
themselves
call'd
Ladies
,
a
Title
they
had
never
been
accustom'd
to
;
insomuch
that
it
put
'em
into
a
loud
fit
of
Laughter
,
which
so
incens'd
Don
Quixote
,
who
thought
himself
the
Subject
of
their
Mirth
,
that
with
a
Countenance
overcast
of
a
sudden
,
like
a
serene
Sky
;
Give
me
leave
to
tell
ye
,
Ladies
,
quo
he
,
That
Modesty
and
Discretion
would
better
become
Damsels
of
Quality
,
which
I
take
you
to
be
;
whereas
Laughter
without
Ground
,
is
an
Imprudence
next
to
Folly
:
Nevertheless
,
bright
Pair
of
matchless
Beauties
,
quo
he
,
I
speak
not
this
out
of
any
ill
Will
,
but
by
way
of
wholesom
Advice
to
those
whom
I
am
bound
to
serve
and
honour
.
This
high
flown
Mixture
of
Reproof
and
Ceremony
,
set
the
two
young
Wenches
a
gigling
ten
times
worse
than
before
,
and
made
the
poor
Knight
as
mad
as
a
March
Hare
:
so
that
't
is
hard
to
conjecture
what
would
have
been
the
Issue
,
had
he
not
at
the
same
time
seen
the
Inkeeper
appear
:
who
observing
such
a
strange
Disguise
of
human
Shape
,
so
odly
accouter'd
with
an
old
Wardrobe
of
Marshal
Furniture
,
could
hardly
refrain
bearing
a
part
with
the
two
Harlots
himself
.
But
having
more
reason
than
they
to
fear
such
a
World
of
Warlike
Preparation
,
he
resolv'd
to
use
him
with
more
Respect
,
and
therefore
submissively
accosting
Don
Quixote
;
Sir
Knight
,
said
he
,
if
you
seek
for
Accommodation
in
this
Place
,
you
will
fail
of
nothing
but
a
Bed
;
for
all
things
else
are
here
at
your
Service
in
abundance
.
Don
Quixote
,
mov'd
with
the
Humility
of
the
Lord
of
the
Castle
(
for
such
he
had
fancy'd
the
Innkeeper
to
be
)
and
willing
to
return
a
becoming
Answer
;
Worthy
Paladine
,
quo
he
,
the
meanest
trifle
in
the
World
suffices
me
,
I
am
not
a
Person
that
studies
Delicacy
of
Diet
,
or
gaudy
Curtains
and
Valence
,
as
you
may
well
see
;
my
Arms
are
all
the
Ornament
and
Equipage
that
I
admire
,
and
Combate
is
my
Bed
of
Repose
.
The
Inn-keeper
could
not
well
apprehend
at
first
why
Don
Quixote
gave
him
the
Apellation
of
Paladine
.
But
having
been
an
Andaluzian
Bully
,
a
Jamaican
Buckaneer
,
as
true
a
Thief
as
ever
sung
Psalm
at
Tyburn
,
and
still
as
wicked
as
a
Northern
Ostler
or
a
French
Page
,
it
was
not
long
before
he
took
the
Elevation
of
the
Knight
Errant's
Pole
,
and
so
having
his
Answer
soon
ready
:
Why
then
,
Sir
Knight
,
said
he
,
considering
the
course
of
Life
which
you
profess
,
methinks
a
good
clean
Pavement
of
hard
Stones
should
be
the
best
Bed
in
the
World
for
your
purpose
;
for
I
dare
say
your
Worship
sleeps
no
more
then
a
Sentinel
.
Therefore
Sir
,
't
is
but
alighting
,
and
I
'le
secure
ye
a
Lodging
that
shall
not
only
keep
ye
awake
for
one
Night
,
but
all
the
Year
long
,
if
you
please
.
And
having
so
said
,
he
went
and
held
Don
Quixote's
Stirrup
;
who
,
what
with
his
ponderous
Load
of
old
Iron
,
and
with
Fasting
all
day
,
dismounted
with
great
trouble
and
difficulty
:
However
,
as
soon
as
he
found
his
Feet
upon
the
firm
ground
,
his
first
care
was
of
his
Steed
,
which
he
recommended
to
the
more
especial
charge
of
the
Paladine
;
assuring
him
,
that
of
all
the
Beasts
that
ever
tasted
Hay
,
there
was
not
a
Better
in
the
World
.
Upon
which
the
Inn-keeper
view'd
him
narrowly
,
with
both
his
Eyes
;
but
could
not
believe
half
so
much
as
Don
Quixote
spoke
in
his
Praise
.
Nevertheless
,
he
led
him
to
his
Lodging
in
the
Stable
,
rubb'd
him
down
,
litter'd
him
,
fill'd
his
Rack
;
and
so
leaving
the
Horse
,
he
came
to
see
what
the
Knight
his
Master
wanted
;
whom
he
found
pulling
off
his
Armour
by
the
assistance
of
the
two
Female
Traders
,
to
whom
he
was
by
this
time
perfectly
reconcil'd
.
They
had
got
off
his
Corslet
and
his
Cuirace
,
but
do
what
they
could
for
their
Lives
they
could
not
unclasp
his
Gorget
;
and
which
was
worse
,
his
Helmet
was
ty'd
so
fast
under
his
Chin
,
with
two
Green
Ribbands
,
that
it
was
impossible
to
unloose
the
Knots
without
the
help
of
a
Knife
,
which
the
Knight
would
by
no
means
permit
to
come
so
near
his
Throat
.
So
that
he
was
forc'd
to
keep
on
his
Head-piece
all
Night
;
which
was
not
a
little
pleasant
to
behold
.
However
,
that
he
might
not
appear
ingrateful
to
the
two
Jilts
that
had
tugg'd
and
pull'd
and
moyl'd
to
help
him
from
his
Load
,
whom
he
took
for
no
less
then
persons
of
Honour
,
and
Ladies
that
belong'd
to
the
Castle
,
he
made
his
Courtlike
Addresses
to
their
Ladyships
in
the
following
manner
:
Certainly
,
Ladies
't
is
past
Belief
,
that
ever
Knight
was
thus
Honourably
attended
in
a
strange
place
,
as
Don
Quixote
.
Noble
Ladies
,
take
care
of
Him
,
and
of
his
Horse
.
O
Rosinante
!
For
that
is
my
Horses
Name
,
and
Don
Quixote
of
the
Mancha
is
mine
,
which
I
never
thought
to
have
discover'd
,
till
I
had
render'd
it
famous
by
some
Atchievement
,
for
your
sakes
.
But
Necessity
constraining
me
to
apply
that
ancient
Romance
of
Lancelot
to
my
present
Occasion
,
has
enforc'd
me
to
reveal
a
Secret
e're
I
thought
it
seasonable
:
Yet
I
hope
the
time
will
come
,
when
you
shall
be
pleas'd
to
honour
me
with
your
Commands
;
and
then
I
doubt
not
but
to
give
you
full
Assurances
of
my
Obedience
,
and
to
let
you
see
by
the
Terror
of
my
Arm
,
both
my
Ability
and
Readiness
to
serve
ye
.
To
this
the
two
young
Wagtails
,
altogether
unaccustom'd
to
such
kind
of
Romantick
Rhetorick
,
and
understanding
as
little
the
meaning
of
his
Courtship
,
that
signify'd
nothing
to
their
Employment
,
made
no
Reply
;
only
they
ask'd
him
,
if
he
pleas'd
to
go
to
Supper
;
with
all
my
Heart
,
quo
Don
Quixote
;
for
I
'le
assure
ye
,
I
think
it
high
time
.
But
as
ill
luck
would
have
it
,
it
happen'd
to
be
upon
a
Friday
Night
,
when
there
was
nothing
in
the
Inn
,
but
some
few
Remnants
of
a
small
Trout
;
tho
others
affirm
,
it
was
only
a
Piece
of
insiped
Poor
John
.
However
,
they
gave
it
the
Name
of
little
Trout
,
and
ask'd
him
,
whether
he
thought
he
could
fancy
such
a
sort
of
Diet
,
especially
when
there
was
nothing
else
to
be
had
.
't
is
the
same
thing
to
me
,
quo
Don
Quixote
,
provided
there
be
more
then
one
;
for
many
little
Trouts
make
a
large
Salmon-Trout
.
For
what
is
't
to
me
,
whether
I
am
paid
five
Shillings
in
ten
several
Six-pences
,
or
a
whole
Crown-piece
?
And
besides
,
't
is
probable
a
little
Trout
may
prove
the
better
Meat
,
as
we
find
Lamb
to
be
far
more
delicate
then
Mutton
.
In
short
,
whate're
it
be
,
bring
it
in
;
for
the
Weight
of
Armour
,
and
the
Hardships
of
Travel
,
are
neither
to
be
supported
without
a
full
Belly
.
Thereupon
they
laid
the
Cloth
at
the
Inn
Gate
,
for
the
Benefit
of
the
fresh
Air
;
where
the
Knight
was
no
sooner
sate
down
,
but
the
Hoast
brought
him
a
small
Commons
of
his
young
Trout
,
as
he
call'd
it
,
but
so
ill
dress'd
,
as
if
it
had
been
Cook'd
in
Ram-Alley
,
or
White-Fryers
,
with
a
slice
or
two
of
a
Bran
loaf
,
and
that
mouldy
to
boot
.
But
you
would
have
split
your
sides
to
have
seen
him
eat
:
For
by
reason
that
his
Helmet
was
ty'd
so
straight
under
his
chin
,
his
chaps
had
not
liberty
to
play
;
and
such
was
the
position
of
his
Beaver
above
,
that
it
was
impossible
for
him
to
feed
himself
without
help
.
So
that
his
condition
had
been
very
ill
,
had
not
the
Damsels
that
sate
by
him
been
so
kind
as
to
mince
his
Meat
fit
for
his
swallow
,
and
then
put
it
into
his
Mouth
.
But
then
how
to
get
the
Glass
to
his
Nose
the
Devil
himself
could
not
find
a
way
,
till
the
Inn-keeper
,
more
suttle
then
he
,
supply'd
that
defect
with
another
Invention
,
by
setting
one
end
of
a
hollow
Cane
to
his
Mouth
,
and
pouring
the
Wine
in
at
the
other
.
All
this
while
the
poor
Gentleman
suffer'd
with
patience
all
these
inconveniences
,
and
would
have
endur'd
a
thousand
more
,
rather
then
cut
the
Ribbands
that
occasion'd
all
his
Misery
.
Hardly
was
this
Pastime
over
,
when
it
happen'd
that
a
Sow-gelder
drawing
near
the
Inn
,
blew
his
Horn
some
three
or
four
times
as
he
came
along
;
and
that
pleasing
Harmony
put
all
things
out
of
doubt
:
For
that
he
took
to
be
a
Consort
of
Musick
sent
to
play
at
his
Table
.
And
therefore
now
more
then
ever
confirm'd
that
the
Poor
John
was
Trout
,
that
the
brown
Loaf
was
Kingston
white
bread
,
that
the
two
Strumpets
were
Ladies
of
Honour
,
and
the
Inn-keeper
some
Potent
Paladine
,
to
whom
the
Castle
belong'd
,
he
fell
into
an
extasie
of
joy
for
the
happy
fortune
of
his
first
Cariere
;
the
success
of
which
flatter'd
him
with
so
fair
a
Prospect
of
future
Prosperity
.
Nothing
troubled
him
,
but
that
he
yet
wanted
the
Ceremony
of
Dubbing
,
without
which
he
could
not
lawfully
undertake
any
meritorious
Enterprize
.
CHAP.
III
.
The
Pleasant
Relation
of
Don
Quixote's
being
Dubb'd
a
Knight-Errant
.
BUT
that
vexatious
care
tormenting
his
mind
with
restless
Anguish
,
caus'd
him
to
make
all
the
quick
dispatch
imaginable
of
his
short
and
homely
Commons
.
So
that
after
he
had
clean'd
his
Trencher
and
his
Dish
with
the
remainder
of
his
Bread
,
up
he
rose
in
great
hast
,
and
carried
the
Inn-keeper
along
with
him
into
the
Stable
,
where
after
he
had
shut
the
Door
,
Don
Quixote
fell
at
his
feet
,
and
in
an
unwonted
transport
of
Grief
and
Melancholy
,
This
is
the
Place
,
cry'd
he
,
most
Noble
Paladine
,
from
whence
I
never
mean
to
rise
again
,
till
your
Lordship
has
vouchsaf'd
to
grant
me
one
single
Boon
,
which
I
have
to
request
,
and
which
will
no
less
redound
to
your
Honour
,
then
the
Benefit
of
the
Universe
.
The
Inn-keeper
amaz'd
to
see
the
Knight
prostrate
at
his
feet
,
and
talking
at
such
a
rate
,
was
in
a
peck
of
troubles
,
either
what
to
say
,
or
what
to
do
;
finding
all
that
he
could
possibly
do
or
say
,
was
to
importune
him
to
rise
;
but
all
in
vain
,
till
he
had
assur'd
him
to
fulfil
his
desires
.
't
was
no
more
then
what
I
always
never
question'd
from
your
Magnanimity
,
reply'd
Don
Quixote
.
Then
proceeding
,
The
Boon
,
said
he
,
which
I
crave
,
and
which
you
so
obligingly
condescend
to
grant
me
,
is
no
more
then
this
,
that
to
morrow
by
break
of
day
,
you
will
do
me
the
favour
to
dubb
me
into
the
Order
of
Knight-hood
;
and
that
this
Night
you
will
permit
me
to
keep
my
Vigils
arm'd
in
the
Chappel
belonging
to
your
Castle
,
and
prepare
my self
for
that
Illustrious
Character
which
I
so
passionately
thirst
after
;
to
the
end
I
may
be
in
a
condition
to
seek
Adventures
in
all
Quarters
of
the
World
,
and
like
another
Theseus
,
to
relieve
the
distressed
,
and
rid
the
Earth
of
Violence
and
Injustice
,
according
to
the
Laws
of
Knight-Errantry
,
which
I
profess
.
The
Inn-keeper
,
who
was
as
arch
as
the
Devil
could
make
him
,
and
now
had
made
a
full
discovery
of
the
soft
place
in
Don
Quixote's
Head
,
which
he
suspected
before
,
to
make
himself
sport
,
and
for
a
jolly
Scene
of
Mirth
to
invite
Customers
to
his
House
,
resolv'd
to
gratifie
his
Humour
.
To
that
purpose
,
he
applauded
his
judgment
in
the
choice
of
such
a
Design
,
then
which
there
could
be
nothing
more
Honourable
,
or
more
gloriously
enterpriz'd
by
a
Brave
and
Valiant
Knight
,
such
he
judg'd
him
to
be
,
by
his
Graceful
Aspect
and
Deportment
.
That
he
himself
had
pursu'd
the
same
Chace
of
Honour
in
his
Youth
,
travelling
through
all
parts
of
the
World
in
search
of
bold
Adventures
;
to
which
purpose
he
had
left
no
corner
unvisited
of
the
Kings-Bench
Rules
,
the
skulking
holes
of
Alsatia
,
the
Academy
of
the
Fleet
,
the
Colledge
of
Newgate
,
the
Purliews
of
Turnboll
,
and
Pickt-Hatch
;
the
Bordello's
of
St.
Giles's
,
Banstead-Downs
,
Newmarket-Heath
:
The
Pits
of
Play-Houses
,
the
Retirements
of
Ordinaries
,
the
Booths
of
Smithfield
and
Sturbridge
;
not
a
Publick
Bowling-Green
where
he
had
not
exercis'd
his
heels
;
nor
an
Execution-crowd
,
nor
a
Hedge-Tavern
,
where
he
had
not
employ'd
his
pauming
,
topping
,
cogging
Fingers
;
bubling
young
Heirs
,
solliciting
Widows
,
abusing
Virgins
;
and
in
a
word
,
that
he
had
signaliz'd
his
Name
in
all
the
Sessions-Houses
,
Criminal
Courts
of
Judicature
,
and
Pillories
of
the
Nation
;
till
at
length
he
came
to
retire
to
that
Castle
,
where
he
liv'd
upon
his
own
Revenues
,
and
the
Spoils
of
others
,
Entertaining
all
Knights
Errant
,
of
what
Quality
or
Condition
soever
,
out
of
that
respect
which
he
bare
to
their
Profession
,
and
to
partake
of
what
they
got
in
recompence
of
the
good
which
they
did
in
the
World
.
As
for
any
Chappel
,
he
confess'd
he
had
none
at
that
time
,
having
pull'd
it
down
,
out
of
a
design
to
build
another
much
more
beautiful
;
however
he
knew
well
that
in
a
case
of
Necessity
,
a
Probationer
might
keep
his
Vigils
where
he
pleas'd
;
which
he
might
therefore
do
in
a
Tower
of
the
Castle
,
that
seem'd
to
have
been
built
for
the
same
purpose
;
and
that
in
the
Morning
he
would
not
fail
to
compleat
the
Ceremony
,
so
that
he
might
assure
himself
of
being
as
true
a
Knight
as
any
in
the
World
.
Have
you
any
Money
?
then
added
the
Inn-keeper
.
Money
!
reply'd
Don
Quixote
;
not
a
Groat
.
Nor
did
I
ever
read
in
any
Story
,
that
ever
any
Knight-Errant
but
one
ever
carry'd
Money
about
him
.
That
's
your
mistake
,
cry'd
the
Inn-keeper
:
for
tho
you
do
not
read
of
any
such
Custom
in
your
Books
,
it
was
not
because
it
was
not
so
,
but
because
the
Writers
could
not
imagine
their
Readers
to
be
such
sots
,
as
to
believe
that
Knights-Errant
went
unprovided
of
two
such
necessary
Accommodations
,
as
Money
and
change
of
fresh
Linnen
.
Otherwise
he
might
as
well
believe
that
all
Knights-Errant
were
lousie
,
and
went
a
begging
:
And
therefore
he
might
well
think
,
they
carry'd
both
Money
and
clean
Shirts
along
with
'em
,
besides
a
little
Box
of
Oyntment
to
dress
their
Wounds
.
For
it
so
happens
many
times
that
your
Knight-Errants
may
be
Engag'd
in
a
desperate
Combat
in
the
midst
of
a
wild
and
spacious
Desart
,
where
they
may
ride
a
hundred
Miles
before
the
meet
with
they
Sign
of
an
Anatomy-Lecture
,
and
so
a
Knight-Errant
might
rot
before
he
could
find
a
Surgeon
;
unless
,
which
rarely
falls
out
,
he
has
some
kind
Enchantress
for
his
Friend
,
to
send
him
some
fair
Damsel
or
Dwarf
in
a
Cloud
with
a
Box
of
Balm
of
Gilead
;
of
which
one
single
drop
tented
into
the
Wound
upon
the
tip
of
the
Dwarf
or
Damsels
Tongue
,
makes
him
as
sound
in
three
Minutes
as
ere
he
was
in
this
World
.
But
because
there
is
no
depending
upon
such
accidents
as
these
,
therefore
in
former
days
,
your
Knight-Errants
had
their
Squires
to
carry
their
Money
and
other
Necessaries
;
as
their
Dressing-Box
,
Lint
,
and
Rags
:
Or
else
if
they
had
no
Squires
,
they
carry'd
those
things
themselves
in
a
little
Bag
fitted
so
neatly
to
their
Saddles
,
that
it
was
hardly
to
be
discern'd
.
So
that
it
is
not
only
my
Advice
,
but
a
Charge
which
I
lay
upon
you
,
as
to
my
Son
and
Darling
in
Chivalry
,
never
to
ride
without
Money
and
other
Necessaries
,
which
you
will
find
to
stand
you
in
stead
,
when
your
best
Friends
forsake
ye
.
Don
Quixote
having
listen'd
with
great
attention
to
the
pretended
Paladine
,
promis'd
punctual
Obedience
to
all
his
Commands
,
and
then
prepar'd
himself
for
the
watch
of
his
Arms.
To
which
purpose
,
he
went
and
fetch'd
all
his
rusty
Furniture
together
,
and
plac'd
it
all
in
great
Order
in
a
Horse-Trough
,
close
by
a
Well
in
the
Yard
,
which
he
fancy'd
to
be
the
Tower
;
and
then
embracing
his
Target
and
his
Lance
,
he
took
several
turns
before
the
Horse-Trough
with
an
Aspect
no
less
fierce
and
haughty
then
graceful
and
pleasant
at
the
same
time
.
In
the
mean
while
,
the
Inn-keeper
,
to
make
himself
sport
,
discover'd
to
all
that
were
in
the
Inn
,
the
Extravagancies
of
Don
Quixote
,
his
watching
his
Arms
,
and
his
impatience
to
be
Dubb'd
a
Knight
;
who
all
admiring
at
the
Folly
of
the
Person
,
desir'd
to
be
Spectators
of
the
Scene
;
and
so
standing
at
a
distance
,
they
beheld
Don
Quixote
with
a
grave
and
serious
countenance
,
sometimes
dancing
step-stately
before
the
Trough
;
sometimes
leaning
upon
his
Lance
,
with
his
Eyes
all
the
while
wistly
fix'd
upon
his
Arms
;
for
the
Moon
,
that
by
this
time
began
to
shine
as
clear
as
in
a
frosty
Night
,
discover'd
the
whole
Ceremony
.
But
while
the
Knight
was
thus
performing
his
Vigils
,
one
of
the
Carriers
that
lodg'd
in
the
Inn
,
came
forth
to
Water
his
Mules
,
which
he
could
not
do
without
removing
the
Arms
out
of
the
Trough
.
Don
Quixote
no
sooner
espy'd
him
,
but
he
knew
his
design
,
and
therefore
by
way
of
prevention
,
cry'd
out
to
him
in
a
loud
and
furious
tone
,
Fool-hardy
Knight
,
who
ere
thou
art
,
that
daringly
thus
presum'st
to
approach
the
Arms
of
the
most
valiant
Combatant
that
was
ever
girt
with
a
Sword
,
take
heed
what
thou
dost
,
and
be
not
so
adventurous
to
touch
those
Arms
,
unless
weary
of
thy
Life
,
thou
hast
a
mind
to
forfeit
it
,
for
the
punishment
of
thy
headlong
Temerity
.
A
warning
sufficient
,
one
would
have
thought
,
but
the
indiscreet
Carrier
was
so
far
from
regarding
Don
Quixote's
terrible
Menaces
,
that
as
if
he
had
rather
scorn'd
his
Threats
,
he
took
the
Arms
and
toss'd
'em
from
the
Trough
,
as
if
he
had
been
playing
at
Coits
.
But
he
had
better
have
been
asleep
in
his
Bed
.
For
then
it
was
,
that
Don
Quixote
lifting
up
his
Eyes
to
Heav'n
,
and
elevating
his
thoughts
to
his
fair
Mistress
,
Assist
me
,
Madam
,
cry'd
he
,
in
the
Revenge
of
this
Affront
,
the
first
ere
offer'd
to
your
Vassal
;
and
while
my
injur'd
Honour
lies
at
stake
,
let
not
your
Protection
bauk
the
first
Tryals
of
my
Courage
.
Which
short
Ejaculation
ended
,
he
laid
by
his
Target
,
took
his
Lance
in
both
hands
,
and
letting
drive
with
all
his
force
at
the
audacious
Carrier
,
gave
him
such
a
blow
upon
his
inconsiderate
Pate
,
that
he
laid
him
sprawling
at
his
feet
;
one
more
such
,
and
the
sawcy
Rascal
had
ne're
known
who
had
hurt
him
.
Which
Exploit
thus
valiantly
perform'd
,
Don
Quixote
gather'd
up
the
scatter'd
pieces
of
his
Armour
,
put
'em
into
the
Horse-trough
again
,
and
renew'd
his
Ceremonies
as
before
,
without
the
least
Disturbance
or
Discomposure
i'
the
World
.
Soon
after
,
another
Carrier
,
not
knowing
what
had
happen'd
,
came
with
design
to
water
his
Mules
.
But
,
as
he
was
going
to
clear
the
Trough
of
that
which
he
only
thought
to
be
old
Lumber
;
Don
Quixote
,
without
speaking
a
word
,
or
imploring
the
assistance
of
Male
or
Female
,
a
second
time
laid
by
his
Shield
,
and
taking
his
Lance
a
second
time
with
both
Hands
,
laid
on
so
like
a
Kettle-Drummer
,
that
he
broke
the
Carrier's
Pate
in
three
or
four
places
.
Immediately
the
Fellow
roar'd
out
Murder
,
and
his
Outcry
summon'd
forth
all
the
rest
of
the
Carriers
and
Passengers
in
the
Inn
,
to
know
what
was
the
matter
.
Don
Quixote
seeing
them
coming
,
brac'd
on
his
Target
,
and
with
his
Sword
drawn
in
his
Hand
,
Goddess
of
Beauty
(
cry'd
he
to
his
Dulcinea
)
,
Thou
Strength
and
Vigor
of
my
Heart
,
in
season
now
enliven
with
the
Beams
of
thy
Grandeur
,
thy
Captive
Champion
,
ready
to
engage
environing
Dangers
.
And
having
thus
invok'd
his
Female
Deity
,
he
found
himself
inspir'd
with
such
a
Reinforcement
of
Courage
and
Resolution
,
that
all
the
Carriers
in
the
world
could
ne're
have
made
him
budg'd
an
Inch.
On
the
other
side
,
the
Carriers
,
tho
they
were
wary
how
they
came
too
near
,
yet
willing
to
revenge
the
Sufferings
of
their
Fellow-Travellers
,
gave
the
Knight
such
a
Volley
of
Stones
,
that
Don
Quixote
was
forc'd
to
shelter
himself
under
the
covert
of
his
Shield
(
that
began
to
Ring
as
if
the
Women
had
been
Charming
down
a
Swarm
of
Bees
)
resolving
not
to
stir
a
foot
,
for
fear
of
abandoning
his
beloved
Armour
.
The
Inn-keeper
,
on
the
other
side
,
bawl'd
out
to
the
Carriers
to
let
him
alone
;
crying
out
,
that
he
had
told
them
already
what
a
Fool
he
was
;
adding
farther
,
that
the
Law
would
acquit
him
for
a
Madman
should
he
kill
all
the
Carriers
in
the
Kingdom
.
All
this
while
the
undaunted
Hero
made
more
noise
than
all
the
〈◇〉
reproaching
the
Carriers
for
Rogues
and
Cowards
,
and
calling
the
●aladine
of
the
Castle
Villain
and
Traitor
,
for
suffering
a
Knight
Errant
to
be
so
abus'd
:
But
I
would
make
thee
know
,
said
the
Knight
,
what
a
perfideous
Rascal
thou
art
,
had
I
but
receiv'd
the
Order
of
Knighthood
.
But
for
you
Scoundrels
,
Fling
on
,
said
he
,
do
your
worst
;
come
near
and
receive
the
wages
of
your
Insolence
,
which
I
question
not
but
to
pay
ye
without
abatement
.
And
this
he
utter'd
with
so
much
fury
and
resolution
,
that
he
stroke
a
terror
into
all
his
Assailants
:
So
that
what
with
the
dread
that
invaded
the
Carriers
,
and
the
loud
perswasions
of
the
Inn-keeper
,
the
storm
of
Gravel
and
Stones
ceas'd
;
and
Don
Quixote
permitting
the
Enemy
to
carry
off
their
wounded
,
return'd
to
watch
his
Armour
with
such
calmness
of
Temper
,
and
moderation
of
Mind
,
as
if
he
had
never
been
disturb'd
.
But
now
the
Inn-keeper
having
had
pastime
sufficient
,
and
weary'd
with
the
Follies
of
his
Guest
,
resolv'd
to
dispatch
him
forthwith
,
and
to
gratifie
the
Squire
with
the
Curse
of
unfortunate
Knighthood
,
to
prevent
any
mischief
in
his
House
.
So
that
after
he
had
excus'd
the
insolence
of
those
sawcy
Bumpkins
,
as
being
done
without
his
privity
or
consent
;
he
gave
him
to
understand
,
that
he
had
no
Chappel
in
his
Castle
,
as
he
had
told
him
before
,
and
that
it
was
indeed
needless
;
for
that
the
remaining
part
of
the
Ceremony
which
consisted
only
in
the
striking
him
upon
the
Neck
and
Shoulders
with
the
Sword
,
might
as
well
be
perform'd
in
the
Field
as
in
any
other
place
,
as
he
had
Read
in
the
Register
of
the
Ceremonies
of
the
Order
.
Don
Quixote
,
who
was
greedy
of
being
Dubb'd
,
as
a
hungry
Kite
of
a
dead
Horse
,
easily
submitted
to
the
Inn-keepers
arguments
,
desiring
the
Paladine
to
make
haste
;
for
that
if
he
were
once
Knighted
,
and
should
be
once
assail'd
,
as
he
had
lately
been
,
he
did
not
believe
he
should
leave
a
Man
alive
in
his
Castle
,
but
such
as
the
Paladine
should
request
him
to
spare
.
Immediately
the
Inn-keeper
,
like
a
Person
that
would
do
nothing
rashly
,
went
and
fetch'd
his
Book
where
he
set
down
the
Carrier's
Accompts
for
Straw
and
Provender
,
and
then
returning
with
the
two
young
Harlots
already
mention'd
,
and
a
Boy
that
carry'd
before
him
a
lighted
Candle's
End
,
he
caus'd
Don
Quixote
to
kneel
:
Then
reading
in
his
Manual
,
as
if
he
had
been
mumbling
some
sort
of
devout
Prayer
,
he
lifted
up
his
Hand
in
the
midst
of
his
Devotions
,
and
gave
him
such
a
Dabb
i'
th
Neck
,
that
he
made
him
kiss
the
Buttons
of
his
Doublet
,
and
at
the
same
time
,
with
the
flat
of
his
Sword
,
such
a
slap
upon
the
Blade-bone
,
as
made
him
shrink
up
his
Shoulders
agen
.
Which
done
,
he
order'd
one
of
the
Truls
to
gird
the
Sword
about
the
Knight's
Waste
;
which
she
did
with
an
extraordinary
Grace
and
Dexterity
,
considering
how
hard
a
thing
it
was
to
forbear
laughing
at
every
particular
of
the
Ceremony
,
had
not
her
Experience
admonish'd
her
,
by
what
she
had
seen
the
Knight
so
lately
perform
,
that
he
was
not
a
Person
to
be
droll'd
with
.
So
far
from
that
,
that
when
she
had
girded
on
the
Sword
,
Heaven
,
quo
she
,
with
a
low
Curtsie
,
grant
ye
Success
in
all
your
Combates
and
Adventures
.
In
return
of
which
,
the
Knight
desir'd
to
know
her
Name
,
that
he
might
understand
to
whom
he
was
oblig'd
for
so
great
a
Favour
,
and
make
her
a
Sharer
in
all
the
Honour
of
his
valorous
Atchievements
.
To
which
the
Lady
answer'd
with
all
Humility
▪
That
her
Name
was
Betty
,
the
Daughter
of
a
Cobbler
in
Southwark
,
that
kept
a
Stall
under
a
Chandler's
Shop
in
Kent-street
;
and
that
she
would
be
his
humble
Servant
in
all
Places
where
she
should
have
the
Happiness
to
meet
him
.
I
beseech
ye
,
reply
d
Don
Quixote
,
hereafter
,
for
my
sake
,
assume
the
Title
of
Madam
,
and
call
your self
Madam
Betty
;
which
she
gratefully
promis'd
to
do
.
The
t'other
Nymph
put
on
his
Spurrs
,
which
occasion'd
a
Dialogue
of
the
same
Nature
between
them
two
:
For
nothing
would
serve
him
,
but
he
must
know
her
Name
likewise
;
who
modestly
answer'd
him
,
That
her
Name
was
Nancy-cock
,
that
her
reputed
Father
liv'd
in
Chick-lane
,
and
was
call'd
,
The
End
of
the
Law
,
as
being
the
Common
Executioner
of
all
Malefactors
in
the
Palatinate
of
Tyburn
.
Thereupon
the
new
Knight
oblig'd
,
her
also
to
call
her self
Madam
Nancy-cock
,
returning
her
a
thousand
Thanks
and
making
her
large
Proffers
of
his
Service
.
These
wonderful
Ceremonies
,
the
like
to
which
were
never
heard
of
before
,
being
thus
perform'd
with
a
kind
of
Tantivy
speed
,
Don
Quixote
,
who
was
almost
out
of
his
Wits
to
be
gadding
after
new
Adventures
,
made
haste
to
saddle
Rosinante
;
and
being
mounted
,
he
embrac'd
the
Inn-keeper
a
Horse-back
,
returning
him
a
whole
Ship's
Lading
of
Thanks
for
Dubbing
him
,
in
a
tedious
Complement
so
full
of
Extravagances
,
as
would
argue
a
greater
Folly
to
repeat
'
em
.
To
which
the
Inkeeper
,
over-joy'd
to
be
rid
of
him
,
made
short
Replies
,
and
glad
he
was
gone
,
discharg'd
him
without
stopping
his
Horse
for
the
Reck'ning
.
CHAP.

.
What
befel
the
new
Knight
after
he
had
left
the
Inn.
AUrora
now
began
to
display
her
Vermillion
Beauties
,
when
Don
Quixote
quitted
the
Inn
,
so
well
pleas'd
,
so
frolick
,
so
jocond
,
to
find
himself
Dubb'd
a
Knight
,
that
he
infus'd
the
same
Satisfaction
into
his
Horse
,
who
was
ready
to
burst
his
Girts
for
Joy
.
But
calling
to
mind
the
Advice
which
the
Inn-keeper
had
giv'n
him
,
touching
the
Provision
of
necessary
Accommodations
for
his
Travels
,
he
resolv'd
to
return
home
,
to
furnish
himself
with
Money
and
Shirts
,
and
to
get
him
a
Squire
.
For
which
Employment
he
had
already
design'd
a
Neighbour
of
his
,
a
poor
labouring
Man
,
with
a
great
Charge
of
Children
,
the
fitter
therefore
to
make
a
Shield-Porter
.
With
this
Resolution
he
took
the
Road
back
to
his
own
Village
;
at
what
time
,
Rosinante
,
as
if
he
had
divin'd
his
Master's
Design
,
carry'd
him
a
round
Trot
so
nimbly
,
and
so
lightly
,
that
you
could
hardly
perceive
his
Heels
to
touch
the
Ground
.
But
Don
Quixote
had
scarce
rid
two
hundred
Paces
,
when
he
fancy'd
that
he
heard
a
mournful
Voice
that
pierc'd
his
Ears
,
from
a
Thicket
upon
the
right
Hand
.
Thereupon
he
listen'd
with
both
Ears
,
and
being
confirm'd
that
he
was
under
no
mistake
,
he
gave
Thanks
to
Heaven
,
that
had
sent
him
an
Opportunity
to
perform
the
Duty
of
his
Profession
,
and
reap
the
Fruit
of
his
pious
Designs
.
These
Moans
,
said
he
,
are
questionless
the
Moans
of
some
distressed
Creature
,
that
has
need
of
my
Assistance
,
which
it
behoves
me
to
give
;
and
so
saying
,
he
gave
Rosinante
a
gentle
Remembrance
with
his
Spurr
of
Knighthood
,
and
hasten'd
to
that
side
of
the
Wood
.
Whither
he
was
no
sooner
come
,
but
he
beheld
a
most
doleful
Spectacle
;
a
young
Lad
of
about
fifteen
Years
of
Age
,
naked
from
the
Waste
upward
,
and
ty'd
to
a
Tree
.
This
was
he
that
sent
forth
those
miserable
Lamentations
,
and
not
without
good
Reason
.
For
a
lusty
Raw-bon'd
Country
Fellow
was
there
tawing
the
Hide
of
the
poor
Stripling
with
a
Brawny
Arm
,
and
an
unmerciful
Twist
of
Leather
Thongs
,
and
between
every
Lash
he
tuter'd
him
with
a
Proverb
;
crying
ever
and
anon
,
A
short
Tongue
,
Sirrah
,
and
watchful
Eyes
.
To
which
the
young
Varlet
made
no
other
Reply
,
but
,
Good
Master
,
I
will
never
do
so
agen
;
for
the
Passion
of
God
,
good
Master
,
I
will
never
do
so
agen
—
Pray
Master
,
Indeed
Master
,
I
will
be
more
careful
for
the
future
.
Don
Quixote
beholding
this
barbarous
Cruelty
of
the
Country
Fellow
,
mov'd
with
Indignation
in
the
surly
Tone
of
Anger
,
Discourteous
Knight
,
cry'd
he
,
't
is
a
base
and
unworthy
Act
,
to
assail
a
naked
Person
that
is
not
able
to
defend
himself
;
but
mount
thy
Steed
,
and
handle
thy
Lance
(
for
he
took
the
Farmer's
Mole-sticker
that
lay
by
him
upon
the
Ground
,
for
a
Lance
)
and
then
I
'le
make
thee
know
thou
hast
done
like
a
Coward
,
and
the
Son
of
a
Whore
.
The
Country-fellow
giving
himself
over
for
lost
at
the
sight
of
such
an
Apparition
in
Armour
,
with
a
Lance
fix'd
to
his
Breast
,
quaking
and
shivering
,
made
Answer
;
Sir
Knight
,
this
young
Hedge-bird
,
whom
I
am
chastizing
,
is
my
Servant
,
imploy'd
by
me
to
look
after
my
Sheep
,
but
such
a
careless
Rascal
,
that
he
loses
one
or
two
every
Day
,
and
therefore
I
punish
him
for
his
Carelesness
,
or
rather
his
Knavery
:
't
is
true
,
he
complains
that
I
do
not
pay
him
his
Wages
,
but
upon
my
Life
and
Soul
,
he
tells
a
most
impudent
Lye
.
The
Lye
in
my
Presence
,
Dog
,
cry'd
Don
Quixote
,
by
the
Sun
that
shines
,
I
could
find
in
my
Heart
to
run
my
Lance
quite
through
thy
Lungs
.
Unbind
the
Boy
,
and
pay
him
without
more
words
,
or
else
by
him
that
made
me
,
I
'le
immediately
annihilate
thee
.
The
Countryman
not
daring
to
speak
a
word
more
,
made
him
a
low
Bow
,
and
presently
unbound
the
Boy
;
of
whom
Don
Quixote
demanded
how
much
was
owing
him
?
Nine
Months
,
said
he
,
at
four
Shillings
and
eight
Pence
a
Month
;
which
Don
Quixote
having
cast
up
,
and
finding
to
be
two
and
forty
Shillings
,
order'd
the
Farmer
to
pay
the
Fellow
his
Money
down
,
unless
he
intended
to
be
sent
forthwith
to
the
other
World
.
The
poor
Countryman
ready
to
sink
into
the
Earth
for
fear
,
reply'd
,
That
he
would
not
forswear
himself
in
that
Condition
he
was
in
for
all
the
World
;
yet
by
his
Oath
already
sworn
,
he
did
not
owe
the
Lad
so
much
:
besides
that
,
he
was
to
abate
for
three
Pair
of
Shoes
,
and
Six-pence
for
his
being
let
Blood
when
he
was
Sick
.
That
may
be
,
reply'd
Don
Quixote
,
but
the
Blood-letting
and
the
Shoes
must
go
in
Satisfaction
for
the
Stripes
which
you
have
giv'n
him
without
a
Cause
;
for
if
he
have
made
use
of
your
Leather
in
his
Shoes
,
you
have
slash'd
off
as
much
of
his
Skin
;
and
if
the
Surgeon
let
him
Blood
when
he
was
ill
,
you
have
drawn
Blood
from
him
when
he
was
in
Health
;
so
there
's
Tit
for
Tott
,
reck'n
one
for
t'other
.
Alas
,
Sir
!
cry'd
the
Countryman
,
't
is
my
Misfortune
not
to
have
so
much
,
Money
about
me
;
but
let
Andrew
go
home
along
with
me
,
and
I
'le
pay
him
to
a
Farthing
.
Go
along
with
him
!
Cry'd
the
young
Rogue
,
finding
himself
to
be
o'
the
better
side
the
Hedge
,
God
preserve
me
,
Sir
,
should
I
go
along
with
him
,
he
would
flea
me
like
another
St.
Bartholomew
.
How
!
reply'd
Don
Quixote
,
never
fear
,
young
Man
,
he
had
better
eat
,
than
touch
thy
Skin
.
I
shall
forbid
him
to
offer
any
such
thing
,
and
then
I
suppose
he
will
not
dare
to
incur
my
Displeasure
;
and
therefore
provided
he
will
swear
by
the
Order
of
Knighthood
,
of
which
he
is
a
Companion
,
I
will
not
only
let
him
go
,
but
secure
thy
Money
.
Take
heed
what
you
say
,
reply'd
the
young
Rogue
,
for
my
Master
is
no
Knight
,
nor
ever
was
of
any
Order
in
his
Life
;
he
's
no
more
then
plain
Gaffer
Haldudo
,
the
rich
Cuff
,
that
lives
at
Quintanar
.
That
's
nothing
to
the
Purpose
,
reply'd
Don
Quixote
,
there
may
be
Knights
among
the
Haldudo's
;
besides
that
,
he
who
bravely
does
,
is
a
Herauld
to
himself
,
since
every
man
is
the
Son
of
his
own
Works
.
Oh
but
,
Sir
,
of
what
Works
is
he
the
Son
,
cry'd
the
young
Crack-rope
,
who
denies
to
pay
me
what
I
have
earn'd
by
the
Sweat
of
my
Brows
.
I
do
not
refuse
to
pay
thee
,
honest
Andrew
,
God
knows
my
Heart
,
for
by
all
the
Orders
that
ever
were
in
the
World
,
if
thou
wilt
go
home
along
with
me
,
I
'le
pay
thee
to
a
Farthing
,
not
only
in
hard
Six-pences
and
Shillings
,
but
Perfum'd
to
boot
.
Spare
your
Perfume
,
reply'd
Don
Quixote
,
only
pay
the
Lad
his
Money
,
and
I
am
satisfy'd
;
but
be
sure
you
be
true
to
your
Word
and
your
Oath
:
For
if
thou
failst
,
tho
but
a
Half-peny
,
by
the
same
Oath
I
swear
,
to
find
thee
out
,
tho
hid
as
deep
within
the
Bowels
of
the
Earth
as
a
Lizard
.
And
to
the
end
thou
mayst
understand
who
it
is
thou
art
either
to
oblige
with
Safety
,
or
offend
at
thy
Peril
;
know
I
am
the
Valiant
Don
Quixxote
of
the
Mancha
,
the
Flail
of
Oppression
,
and
the
Scourge
of
Injustice
.
So
Peace
be
with
ye
,
upon
Condition
of
exact
Performance
,
as
you
will
answer
the
contrary
at
your
Peril
.
And
having
so
said
,
he
put
Spurs
to
his
Rosinante
,
and
rode
away
.
So
soon
as
he
was
gone
,
the
crafty
old
Hunks
of
a
Farmer
follow'd
him
with
both
his
Eyes
,
as
far
as
he
could
see
him
;
and
when
he
was
quite
out
of
sight
,
away
goes
he
back
to
his
young
Ne're-be-good
,
and
in
a
Tone
of
seeming
Kindness
;
Come
,
honest
Andrew
,
said
he
,
't
is
now
that
I
intend
to
pay
thee
thy
Arrears
,
according
to
my
Obligation
,
and
as
the
Flail
of
Oppression
,
and
the
Scourge
of
Injustice
has
commanded
me
to
do
.
Assuredly
,
said
Andrew
,
if
you
do
not
fulfil
the
Orders
of
this
same
Noble
Knight
,
whose
Valour
and
Justice
God
reward
with
a
long
and
prosperous
Life
,
I
will
go
seek
him
out
where
ever
he
is
,
and
bring
him
back
to
chastise
your
contempt
,
according
to
his
Oath
.
Content
,
cry'd
the
Farmer
;
and
to
shew
thee
how
I
love
thee
,
I
am
resolv'd
to
increase
the
Debt
,
that
I
may
advance
the
Payment
.
And
with
that
,
binding
Andrew
again
to
the
Tree
,
he
fell
anointing
the
poor
Boy
's
back
with
such
a
detestation
of
Compassion
,
till
he
had
almost
kill'd
the
young
Miscreant
.
Now
call
,
said
the
Farmer
,
your
Scourge
of
Injustice
,
thou
shalt
find
,
he
'l
ne'r
be
able
to
undo
what
I
have
done
,
tho
't
is
but
the
half
of
what
I
should
do
;
for
thou
Rogue
thou
,
I
could
find
i'
my
heart
to
flea
thee
alive
.
However
,
he
unty'd
the
Rascal
at
length
,
and
gave
him
free
liberty
to
go
and
seek
out
his
Patron
to
revenge
his
Quarrel
.
But
the
Country
Farmer
having
had
his
Plenary
satisfaction
,
fell
a
laughing
with
his
Rustick
Ho
,
Ho
,
Ho's
,
till
his
sides
were
ready
to
crack
,
to
see
the
Boy
go
limping
away
,
shrugging
his
flea'd
shoulders
,
in
search
of
a
Needle
in
a
Bottle
of
Hay
.
In
the
mean
time
the
valiant
Don
Quixote
,
believing
he
had
perform'd
a
most
signal
Act
of
Justice
,
was
strangely
transported
in
his
thoughts
,
and
ravish'd
with
this
successful
beginning
,
Most
beautiful
of
Beauties
,
fair
Dulcinea
del
Toboso
,
said
he
,
well
may'st
thou
account
thy self
the
most
Fortunate
of
all
Women
living
,
who
hast
for
thy
Vassal
so
Famous
a
Knight
as
Don
Quixote
of
the
Mancha
,
who
,
as
all
the
World
knows
,
was
dubb'd
a
Knight
but
yesterday
,
and
this
very
day
prevented
the
most
terrible
Cruelty
that
ever
Injustice
invented
,
by
wresting
this
young
Lad
out
of
the
hand
of
his
inhumane
and
merciless
Executioner
.
And
having
so
said
,
he
perceiv'd
himself
to
be
in
a
place
where
four
Roads
met
;
at
what
time
it
came
into
his
mind
,
that
it
was
usual
for
Knights-Errant
to
stop
at
such
places
,
there
to
consult
with
themselves
which
way
to
take
;
which
that
he
might
be
punctual
in
every
thing
,
he
resolv'd
to
do
.
But
not
being
able
to
determine
with
himself
,
he
gave
Rosinante
his
own
Head
,
leaving
it
absolutely
to
his
discretion
to
make
his
own
choice
;
upon
which
,
Rosinante
,
govern'd
by
natural
instinct
,
took
the
way
that
led
to
his
own
Stable
.
Don
Quixote
had
not
rode
above
two
Miles
,
but
he
perceiv'd
a
great
company
of
People
that
follow'd
him
upon
the
same
Road
,
who
afterwards
prov'd
to
be
Merchants
of
Toledo
,
that
were
going
to
buy
Silks
at
Murcia
;
being
six
in
number
well
mounted
,
with
three
Servants
on
Horse-back
,
and
three
on
foot
,
that
led
their
Mules
.
Don
Quixote
no
sooner
had
'em
in
view
,
but
he
imagin'd
this
to
be
some
new
Adventure
;
and
therefore
with
a
sowr
and
resolute
courage
fixing
himself
in
his
Stirrups
,
couching
his
Lance
,
and
covering
himself
with
his
Target
,
he
posted
himself
in
the
middle
of
the
High-way
,
till
the
supposed
Knights-Errants
came
up
;
and
no
sooner
were
they
come
,
as
he
thought
,
within
hearing
,
but
in
a
haughty
and
imperious
tone
,
That
Man
,
said
he
,
who
adventures
to
stir
an
Inch
farther
,
moves
at
his
Peril
,
until
he
has
acknowledg'd
the
Empress
of
the
Mancha
,
the
Incomparable
Dulcinea
del
Toboso
,
to
be
the
Peerless
Beauty
that
surpasses
all
the
Beauties
of
the
Universe
.
At
those
words
,
the
Merchants
stopp'd
,
to
consider
the
strange
Disguise
and
Posture
of
their
Opponent
,
and
easily
conjecturing
as
well
by
his
Obsolete
Figure
,
as
by
his
words
,
what
sort
of
Creature
he
was
;
yet
no
less
willing
to
have
a
little
sport
,
then
to
understand
the
meaning
of
that
extravagant
Confession
,
for
which
their
very
Bowels
themselves
were
to
be
so
rudely
ransackt
:
One
of
the
Company
in
smooth
and
calm
Language
,
Sir
Knight
,
said
he
,
we
never
saw
this
Lady
you
talk
of
in
our
lives
,
but
let
us
have
a
sight
of
her
,
and
then
if
she
be
such
a
Phoenix
as
you
say
she
is
,
we
shall
readily
comply
with
your
desires
.
What
Obligation
will
that
be
,
reply'd
Don
Quixote
,
when
you
have
seen
her
,
to
acknowledge
a
Truth
so
visible
to
your
Eyes
?
't
is
your
Duty
to
believe
,
confess
,
avouch
,
to
swear
,
and
maintain
this
certain
Truth
,
whether
you
see
or
no
.
And
therefore
make
me
this
acknowledgment
forthwith
in
due
form
,
or
else
he
challeng'd
and
defy'd
'em
for
Sons
of
Whores
,
and
Lyars
.
For
whether
you
come
one
by
one
,
as
the
Laws
of
Chivalry
require
,
or
all
at
once
,
as
it
is
the
usual
custom
of
Ragamuffins
and
Ruffins
,
know
I
am
ready
singly
to
abide
the
Encounter
in
confidence
of
the
Justice
on
my
side
.
Sir
Knight
,
reply'd
the
Merchant
,
I
beseech
ye
in
the
name
of
all
the
Princes
here
present
,
that
for
the
discharge
of
our
Consciences
,
which
will
not
permit
us
to
swear
hand
overhead
to
a
thing
so
prejudicial
to
all
the
Empresses
,
Queens
,
Dutchesses
,
and
Countesses
in
Europe
,
you
will
do
us
the
kindness
to
let
us
but
see
the
Portraiture
of
your
Lady
,
tho
it
were
no
bigger
then
a
Cherry-stone
;
for
by
a
single
thread
we
may
judge
of
the
whole
Skean
,
and
so
with
peace
and
quiet
of
Conscience
be
able
to
give
you
satisfaction
to
your
hearts
content
.
For
to
tell
you
truth
,
we
find
our selves
already
so
enclin'd
to
favour
your
Mistress
,
that
tho
your
Picture
should
represent
her
blind
with
one
Eye
,
and
the
other
distilling
Brimstone
and
Quick-silver
,
yet
we
should
be
apt
to
be
as
partial
in
her
favour
,
as
ever
Paris
was
to
Venus
.
Distill
!
ye
damn'd
Scoundrel
,
reply'd
Don
Quixote
,
in
a
hideous
rage
,
there
's
nothing
distills
from
her
but
Civit
and
Amber
;
she
is
neither
blear-ey'd
,
nor
cupboard-back'd
,
but
as
straight
as
a
Bulrush
;
and
therefore
know
,
you
shall
severely
pay
for
the
Blasphemies
you
have
utter'd
against
Beauty's
matchless
Paragon
.
And
so
saying
,
with
his
Lance
couch'd
he
ran
with
so
much
fury
at
the
spokes-man
Merchant
,
that
had
not
Rosinante
chanc'd
to
have
flounder'd
and
fallen
down
in
the
midst
of
his
Career
,
the
audacious
Merchant
had
paid
dear
for
his
fleering
.
But
Rosinante
fell
,
and
so
threw
his
Master
,
who
lay
rolling
and
tumbling
in
the
dust
,
and
using
all
his
skill
and
strength
to
get
upon
his
leggs
again
,
but
could
not
for
his
Guts
,
so
encumber'd
was
he
with
his
Lance
,
his
Spurs
,
his
Target
,
and
the
weight
of
his
rusty
Harness
.
However
,
in
this
helpless
condition
,
he
play'd
the
Hero
with
his
Tongue
,
crying
out
,
Hold
,
Scoundrels
,
hold
—
abide
my
Fury
,
white-liver'd
Fugitives
;
stay
till
I
get
up
again
,
Dastards
,
Cowards
,
and
suffer
me
to
redeem
my
Honour
lost
,
not
by
my
own
,
but
the
misfortune
of
a
damn'd
stumbling
Jade
.
Upon
this
,
one
of
the
Mule-drivers
,
who
no
doubt
was
none
of
those
that
were
endu'd
with
the
most
Saint-like
Patience
,
not
enduring
the
Reproaches
and
Bravado's
of
the
wallowing
Knight
,
adventur'd
to
wrest
his
Lance
out
of
his
hand
,
and
having
broke
it
in
two
pieces
,
with
the
butt-end
did
so
be
labour
Don
Quixote's
Ribs
,
that
you
would
have
thought
he
had
been
threshing
a
Wheat-sheaf
.
At
length
,
the
Merchants
call'd
to
him
,
and
bid
him
hold
;
but
the
fellow
was
so
pleas'd
with
his
Exercise
,
that
he
could
not
forbear
rib-roasting
the
poor
Knight
,
till
he
had
almost
pounded
him
into
green-sawce
:
For
after
he
had
broken
one
end
of
the
Lance
,
he
took
the
other
,
laying
on
without
ceasing
,
till
he
had
splinter'd
both
ends
upon
the
disgrac'd
Cavalier's
Iron
enclosure
;
who
notwithstanding
all
that
storm
of
Bastinadoes
,
lay
all
the
while
banning
the
Villains
that
had
tak'n
him
at
that
advantage
,
and
threatning
Heaven
and
Earth
for
the
injury
he
had
receiv'd
.
But
at
last
the
Mule-driver
surceast
,
and
the
Merchants
pursu'd
their
Journey
,
furnish'd
with
matter
for
Discourse
and
Mirth
.
Don
Quixote
,
finding
himself
alone
,
made
a
new
attempt
to
get
upon
his
feet
;
but
if
he
could
not
before
,
you
may
be
sure
he
was
less
able
to
rise
of
himself
,
when
his
Joints
were
almost
dislocated
,
and
his
Flesh
half
bruis'd
to
a
Gelly
.
Nevertheless
this
was
his
comfort
,
that
his
misfortune
was
a
misery
frequently
incident
to
Knight-Errantry
;
and
a
farther
consolation
it
was
,
that
this
mischance
had
befall'n
him
not
through
his
own
want
of
Courage
,
but
through
the
fault
of
his
Horse
.
CHAP.
V.
A
farther
continuation
of
the
Knight's
Misfortunes
.
WHEN
Don
Quixote
found
that
he
had
no
way
in
the
World
to
help
himself
up
upon
his
Leggs
,
he
had
recourse
to
his
usual
Remedy
,
which
was
to
bethink
himself
what
Stratagem
he
had
read
among
his
Authors
.
Nor
had
he
study'd
long
before
his
fruitful
folly
brought
to
his
remembrance
the
stories
of
Balduin
and
the
Marquess
of
Mantua
,
when
Charlot
left
the
former
wounded
in
the
Mountain
.
A
story
known
both
to
old
and
young
,
and
as
true
as
the
Miracles
of
Mahomet
.
This
Romance
seeming
to
him
as
if
made
on
purpose
for
the
condition
he
was
in
,
he
fell
a
rolling
and
wallowing
in
the
dust
like
a
man
in
despair
,
and
with
a
languishing
voice
to
breath
out
the
same
expressions
,
which
the
same
Author
puts
into
the
Knight
of
the
Wood
.
Where
art
thou
,
fairest
Lady
,
that
thou
art
so
little
mov'd
with
my
misfortunes
?
Either
thou
know'st
nothing
of
my
Sufferings
,
or
else
thou
art
become
false
and
disloyal
.
As
he
was
thus
going
on
,
just
as
he
came
to
these
words
,
O
Noble
Marquess
of
Mantua
,
my
Uncle
,
good
luck
so
order'd
it
,
that
a
poor
Labouring-man
,
that
liv'd
in
his
own
Village
,
and
not
far
from
his
own
House
,
happen'd
to
pass
by
with
a
Sack
of
Meal
which
he
had
fetch'd
from
the
Mill
,
who
seeing
a
thing
in
Humane
shape
lying
all
along
upon
the
ground
,
ask'd
him
who
he
was
,
and
wherefore
he
made
such
a
doleful
Complaint
?
Don
Quixote
,
who
fancy'd
himself
to
be
Balduin
,
and
took
the
Labouring-man
for
the
Marquess
of
Mantua
his
Uncle
,
made
him
no
Answer
,
but
continu'd
repeating
his
Verses
,
and
recounting
all
his
Misfortunes
,
with
the
Amours
of
his
Wife
with
the
Emperor's
Son
,
word
for
word
as
they
are
set
down
in
the
story
.
The
Labouring-man
astonish'd
to
hear
such
a
world
of
Romantic
Gibrish
,
lifted
up
the
Visor
of
his
Helmet
,
bruis'd
and
batter'd
as
it
was
by
the
Mule-driver's
Mallets
,
and
after
he
had
wash'd
the
dust
off
his
face
,
presently
knowing
who
he
was
;
Good
God
,
Master
Quixada
,
cry'd
the
Labourer
,
who
was
your
Taylor
,
to
make
ye
this
Iron
Suit
?
How
came
ye
into
this
Condition
?
But
do
what
he
could
for
his
life
,
the
other
would
give
him
no
other
Answer
but
what
he
went
on
repeating
out
of
his
Romance
.
Which
the
poor
man
observing
,
took
off
his
Breast-plate
and
Corslet
,
and
sell
a
searching
for
his
Wounds
,
but
finding
no
sign
of
any
Blood
,
or
any
gashes
in
his
Skin
,
with
a
great
deal
of
trouble
he
got
him
upon
his
Leggs
,
and
then
heav'd
him
upon
his
Ass
,
as
being
the
more
easie
and
gentle
Carriage
.
And
so
careful
he
was
of
the
Knights
Arms
,
that
he
pickt
all
the
very
splinters
of
his
Lance
,
and
having
bound
them
up
together
,
fasten'd
'em
to
Rosinante's
Saddle
;
and
so
driving
the
Ass
softly
before
him
,
and
leading
Rosinante
by
the
Bridle
in
his
Hand
,
he
made
toward
the
Village
with
a
slow
Pace
,
musing
with
himself
,
yet
not
able
to
apprehend
the
Meaning
of
those
Extravagancies
which
Don
Quixote
utter'd
all
the
Way
.
On
the
other
side
Don
Quixote
was
no
less
afflicted
;
for
he
felt
himself
so
crush'd
and
mortify'd
,
that
he
could
hardly
sit
the
gentle
Animal
,
that
crept
no
faster
hardly
then
a
Snail
;
and
all
along
he
breath'd
forth
such
loud
Sighs
and
Lamentations
,
that
pierc'd
the
very
Skies
;
so
that
the
compassionate
Labourer
could
not
forbear
once
more
to
demand
the
Cause
of
his
Grief
.
But
as
if
the
Devil
himself
had
still
put
him
in
mind
of
Stories
accommodated
to
his
Condition
,
he
quitted
that
of
Balduin
,
and
call'd
to
mind
the
History
of
the
Moor
Abyndaraxe
,
when
Rodrigo
of
Narvaez
,
Governour
of
Antequera
,
took
him
,
and
carry'd
him
away
Prisoner
.
So
that
when
the
poor
labouring
Man
ask'd
him
a
third
Time
the
cause
of
his
Sorrows
,
he
answer'd
Word
for
Word
what
the
Prisoner
Abencerrage
reply'd
to
Don
Rodrigo
in
Diana
of
Monte
Mayor
,
applying
every
Thing
so
odly
to
himself
,
that
the
labouring
Man
curs'd
him
to
the
Pit
of
Hell
for
his
Extravagancies
;
and
thence
at
length
concluding
,
that
the
poor
Gentleman
was
become
a
meer
Sot
,
he
made
all
the
haste
he
could
to
the
Village
to
be
rid
of
his
Impertinences
.
For
,
Don
Quixote
still
continuing
the
Series
of
the
Story
,
you
must
know
,
Don
Rodrigo
de
Narvaez
,
said
he
to
the
Labourer
,
that
this
beautiful
Princess
,
of
whom
I
have
given
ye
an
account
,
is
at
present
the
Incomparable
Dulcinea
del
Toboso
,
for
whose
sake
I
have
done
,
still
do
,
and
will
perform
the
most
famous
Exploits
of
Chivalry
that
ever
were
known
before
,
ever
seen
in
our
Days
,
or
that
future
same
shall
record
.
Alas
!
reply'd
the
poor
labouring
Man
,
as
I
am
a
Sinner
to
God
,
I
am
neither
Rodrigo
de
Narvaez
,
nor
the
Marquess
of
Mantua
,
but
only
poor
Peter
Alonso
,
your
honest
Neighbour
;
nor
are
you
either
Balduin
or
Abyndaraxe
,
but
a
good
honest
Country-Gentleman
of
this
Village
,
that
ever
since
you
came
to
your
Means
,
have
gone
by
the
Name
of
Squire
Quixada
.
I
know
who
I
am
,
reply'd
Don
Quixote
,
and
I
know
,
moreover
,
that
I
not
only
deserve
to
be
the
same
that
I
have
nam'd
,
but
the
Twelve
Peers
of
France
likewise
,
and
the
Nine
Worthies
,
all
in
one
,
since
all
their
famous
Exploits
being
added
together
,
cannot
equal
my
Atchievements
.
In
this
,
and
such
other
Discourses
they
spent
their
Time
,
till
they
came
to
the
Village
,
where
they
arriv'd
toward
the
Evening
.
But
the
Labourer
unwilling
that
the
Squire
should
be
seen
so
ill
mounted
,
stay'd
at
a
small
distance
under
a
Hedge
till
't
was
Dark
,
and
then
led
him
home
to
his
own
House
,
where
there
was
nothing
but
Confusion
,
by
reason
of
the
Master's
Absence
,
which
made
the
labouring
Man
willing
to
tarry
a
while
and
listen
.
There
at
the
same
time
were
the
Curate
and
the
Barber
,
his
usual
Companions
,
with
whom
his
Servant-maid
,
it
seems
,
was
just
then
discoursing
the
Point
.
Lord
bless
me
!
quo
she
,
Mr.
Doctor
,
what
d'
you
think
of
this
Misfortune
that
has
befall'n
my
Master
?
't
is
now
six
Days
ago
since
we
have
seen
either
Him
,
or
his
Horse
,
and
he
must
have
carry'd
away
his
Lance
and
his
Arms
too
;
for
we
can
find
'em
no
where
about
the
House
:
It
makes
me
almost
at
my
Wits
end
.
But
as
I
was
born
to
die
,
I
'le
be
hang'd
if
those
cursed
Books
of
Knight-Errantry
have
not
been
the
Occasion
of
all
this
.
I
remember
,
I
have
often
heard
him
say
,
He
intended
to
turn
Knight-Errant
,
and
wander
about
the
World
in
Search
of
Adventures
;
the
Devil
and
his
Friend
Barabbas
take
all
those
confounded
Volumes
that
have
thus
debauch'd
the
best
Headpeice
in
Mancha
.
His
Neice
made
the
same
loud
Complaint
to
Mr.
Nicholas
the
Barber
:
My
Unkle
,
quo
she
,
was
wont
to
read
these
devilish
Books
for
two
Days
and
two
Nights
together
;
at
the
end
of
which
he
would
lay
aside
his
Book
,
and
fall
a
Fencing
against
the
Walls
like
a
meer
Bedlamite
;
and
when
he
had
sufficiently
hac'kd
and
hew'd
the
Posts
and
Doors
,
he
would
cry
,
He
had
slain
four
Giants
as
big
as
Steeples
;
and
then
he
fancy'd
the
Sweat
,
occasion'd
by
the
violent
Motion
of
his
Body
,
to
be
the
Blood
of
his
Wounds
,
which
he
had
receiv'd
in
the
Combate
;
then
drinking
a
large
Glass
of
cold
Water
,
which
he
dream't
to
be
a
sort
of
precious
Liquor
sent
him
by
the
Sorcerer
Esquife
,
he
conceited
himself
whole
and
sound
again
.
Now
I
durst
not
speak
a
Word
of
this
,
for
fear
the
World
should
think
my
Uncle
distracted
;
so
that
indeed
I
am
the
wretched
Cause
of
all
his
Misfortunes
,
for
not
giving
notice
of
his
Follies
in
time
,
that
so
proper
Remedies
might
have
been
apply'd
,
er'e
't
was
too
late
,
and
all
these
excommunicated
Authors
might
have
been
burnt
for
Hereticks
.
May
I
be
broil'd
for
a
Martyr
,
reply'd
the
Curate
,
if
they
be
not
all
condemn'd
and
executed
before
to
morrow
Night
.
They
have
lost
me
one
of
my
best
Friends
,
but
beshrew
my
Heart
,
they
shall
never
do
any
more
Mischief
.
All
which
Discourse
,
when
the
listn'ing
Labouring
Man
had
heard
,
no
longer
doubting
the
Truth
of
what
he
suspected
before
;
House
there
,
cry'd
he
,
as
loud
as
he
could
yaul
,
open
the
Gates
there
for
the
Marquess
of
Mantua
,
and
the
Lord
Balduin
,
who
is
return'd
home
very
dangerously
wounded
,
as
also
for
the
valiant
Rodrigo
de
Narvaez
,
Governour
of
Antiquera
,
who
brings
along
with
him
the
Moor
Abyndaraxe
,
Prisoner
.
At
which
Words
they
open'd
the
Gate
;
at
what
time
the
Curate
and
the
Barber
knowing
their
Intimate
Friend
,
the
Neice
her
Uncle
,
the
Servant
her
good
Master
;
they
all
ran
to
embrace
,
and
welcome
him
home
.
To
whom
Don
Quixote
,
Forbear
,
said
he
,
with
a
faint
Voice
,
I
am
sore
wounded
by
reason
my
Horse
fail'd
me
,
therefore
let
me
be
gently
carry'd
to
Bed
;
and
if
it
be
possible
let
the
Enchantress
Urganda
be
sent
for
to
cure
my
Wounds
.
Now
,
as
I
hope
to
be
sav'd
,
cry'd
the
Servant-maid
,
did
not
I
guess
right
,
when
I
told
ye
my
Master's
Disease
?
But
get
him
to
Bed
,
and
let
that
Gypsie
go
to
the
Devil
,
we
'll
cure
him
,
my
Life
for
yours
,
without
Enchantments
.
Millions
of
Cankers
consume
those
cursed
Legends
that
brought
him
to
this
Condition
.
Thereupon
they
carry'd
the
crazie
Gentleman
up
to
his
Bed
,
and
search'd
for
his
Wounds
,
but
could
find
none
.
No
,
no
,
cry'd
Don
Quixote
,
I
am
not
wounded
,
but
only
bruis'd
by
the
Fall
of
my
Horse
,
while
I
was
fighting
against
ten
Giants
,
the
vastest
in
Bulk
,
and
most
couragious
that
ever
were
in
the
World
.
Hoy-da
—
quo
the
Curate
,
What
,
Giants
too
i'
the
Conspiracy
!
By
my
Sanctity
,
there
shall
not
one
remain
in
Being
by
to
morrow
Night
.
This
done
,
they
put
a
thousand
Questions
to
Don
Quixote
;
but
he
was
not
to
be
Catechiz'd
,
only
he
bid
'em
let
him
have
something
to
eat
,
and
then
leave
him
to
his
Rest
,
as
being
that
of
which
he
stood
most
in
need
.
Thus
while
the
Knight
was
left
to
enjoy
himself
,
and
the
Pleasure
of
his
own
Chimera's
,
the
Curate
inform'd
his
Curiosity
at
large
,
in
what
Condition
the
Labouring
Man
had
found
him
;
who
fail'd
not
to
give
a
punctual
Account
of
the
Particulars
so
far
as
he
knew
,
as
also
of
all
the
Fopperies
which
he
utter'd
upon
the
Way
;
which
confirm'd
the
Curate
to
proceed
in
his
Design
the
next
Day
;
to
which
Purpose
he
appointed
to
meet
the
Barber
at
Don
Quixote's
House
.
CHAP.
VI
.
Of
the
delightful
and
diligent
Survey
which
the
Curate
and
the
Barber
took
of
the
Squire's
Library
.
THE
Squire
quite
weary
,
sore
,
and
tir'd
,
was
now
taking
a
sweet
Nap
,
when
the
Curate
and
the
Barber
came
to
his
House
,
and
desir'd
the
Key
of
his
Study-door
,
which
was
readily
deliver'd
.
So
soon
as
the
Door
was
open
,
they
all
went
in
,
Servant-maid
and
all
;
and
there
they
found
about
a
hundred
large
Folio's
,
together
with
several
Quarto's
and
Octavo's
very
well
bound
,
and
exactly
methodiz'd
.
Presently
the
Maid
ran
out
,
and
returning
in
Post-haste
again
,
brought
a
Bason
of
Holy-water
,
desiring
the
Curate
to
sprinkle
the
Study
,
for
fear
least
some
one
of
those
Sorcerers
,
of
which
the
Books
were
full
,
should
come
and
enchant
both
him
and
the
Barber
,
for
going
about
to
send
'em
out
of
the
World
.
But
the
Curate
,
not
so
superstitious
,
desir'd
the
Barber
to
take
down
the
Volumes
one
by
one
,
to
see
what
sort
of
Punishment
they
deserv'd
,
for
that
they
might
not
all
deserve
alike
.
No
,
no
,
cry'd
the
Neice
,
never
spare
any
,
for
they
are
all
alike
guilty
of
my
Unkle's
Ruine
;
and
therefore
let
us
throw
'em
all
out
at
Window
,
and
make
a
Bone-fire
of
'em
all
together
in
the
Court-yard
:
And
this
was
the
Opinion
of
the
Maid
also
;
so
highly
were
they
resolv'd
upon
the
Destruction
of
those
poor
Innocent
Volumes
.
But
the
Curate
having
more
mind
to
read
the
several
Titles
,
determin'd
to
proceed
his
own
Way
.
So
then
,
the
first
Book
that
Mr.
Nicholas
pull'd
down
,
was
Amadis
de
Gaule
,
in
four
Volumes
.
Oh
,
ho
!
cry'd
the
Curate
,
there
is
some
Mystery
in
this
,
that
this
Book
comes
first
of
all
:
For
I
have
heard
,
that
this
was
the
first
Book
of
Knight-Errantry
that
ever
was
printed
in
Spain
,
and
that
it
has
serv'd
as
a
Model
for
all
the
rest
.
And
therefore
my
Advice
is
,
That
it
be
condemn'd
to
the
Fire
,
without
Mercy
,
as
the
Author
and
Upholder
of
a
most
pernicious
Sect
.
I
beg
his
Reprieve
,
cry'd
the
Barber
,
for
that
I
have
heard
several
understanding
People
aver
,
That
it
is
the
best
Story
that
we
have
,
of
its
kind
;
and
therefore
as
the
only
Thing
that
's
good
,
belonging
to
the
Profession
,
it
may
deserve
a
Pardon
.
Well
then
,
said
the
Curate
,
for
this
time
we
'll
spare
Amadis
—
Go
to
the
next
.
These
are
the
Atchievements
of
Esplandian
,
the
lawful
begotten
Son
of
Amadis
de
Gaule
.
What
then
,
quo
the
Curate
,
he
had
never
half
the
Wit
or
Courage
of
his
Father
—
Here
,
Mistress
Governess
,
open
the
Window
,
and
throw
it
into
the
Yard
,
't
will
serve
as
a
good
Foundation
for
the
Pile
we
intend
to
rear
.
Nor
was
the
Maid
flack
to
obey
his
Order
,
and
so
Don
Esplandian
was
sent
headlong
into
the
Court
,
till
his
Executioners
were
at
leasure
.
What
's
the
next
,
cry'd
the
Curate
?
This
,
reply'd
the
Barber
,
is
Amadis
of
Greece
;
and
I
am
apt
to
believe
,
that
all
that
stand
a'this
side
are
of
the
same
Family
.
Then
let
'em
all
be
sent
packing
into
the
Court
,
cry'd
the
Curate
:
For
rather
then
spare
from
the
Fire
Queen
Quintiquinestra
,
and
the
Shepherd
Darinel
,
with
his
Eclogues
,
and
the
Diabolical
Discourses
of
the
Author
;
I
think
I
should
burn
my
own
Father
alive
,
if
I
met
him
in
the
Disguise
of
a
Knight-Errant
.
I
am
of
the
same
Opinion
,
quo
the
Barber
,
and
I
by
my
Troth
,
quo
the
Niece
.
If
it
be
so
,
quo
the
Maid
,
let
'em
e'en
go
all
together
for
Company
;
and
so
to
save
the
Labour
of
travelling
up
and
down
Stairs
,
she
sent
'em
flying
out
at
Window
,
to
the
clearing
of
a
whole
Shelf
or
two
.
What
Bundle
of
Paper
is
that
,
quo
the
Curate
?
T
is
is
Don
Olivantes
de
Laura
,
reply'd
Mr.
Nicholas
.
The
same
Author
,
quo
the
Curate
,
if
I
mistake
not
,
wrote
the
Garden
of
Flowers
;
and
I
know
not
which
is
the
most
rascally
lying
Book
of
the
two
.
But
this
I
know
for
certain
,
that
he
shall
march
into
the
Court
for
a
Nonsensical
arrogant
Whelp
as
he
is
.
The
next
,
cry'd
the
Barber
,
is
Florismart
of
Hyrcania
.
How
!
Monsieur
Florismart
,
is
he
there
,
reply'd
the
Curate
?
Nay
then
,
since
we
have
caught
him
,
he
shall
down
y'
faith
into
the
Court
,
maugre
his
wonderful
Birth
,
and
prodigious
Adventure
;
for
the
Flatness
and
insipidness
of
his
Stile
deserve
no
better
Usage
.
Here
's
the
Cavaleir
Platir
continu'd
,
cry'd
the
Barber
.
Hang
him
,
quo
the
Curate
,
for
a
letcherous
old
Goat
,
there
's
nothing
in
him
that
deserves
a
Grain
of
Pity
.
Out
with
him
,
Mistress
Governess
,
without
any
more
ado
.
The
next
that
was
open'd
,
was
the
Knight
of
the
Cross
.
Why
truly
,
quo
the
Curate
,
one
would
think
that
he
might
deserve
some
Favour
,
for
the
sake
of
his
Holy
Title
,
sufficient
to
cover
many
Imperfections
.
But
what
saies
the
Proverb
;
The
Devil
lurks
behind
the
Cross
:
let
him
go
to
Perdition
.
Then
the
Barber
fetching
down
the
next
Volume
,
Here
,
said
he
,
is
the
Mirrour
of
Knighthood
.
Oh
,
I
have
the
Honour
to
know
him
,
cry'd
the
Curate
;
there
you
shall
find
the
Lord
Rieynald
of
Montauban
,
with
all
his
Crew
,
a
Parcel
of
Rake-Hell
and
Skim-the-Divel
,
the
Twelve
Peers
of
France
,
and
that
faithful
Historian
,
Arch-bishop
Turpin
.
However
,
I
think
fit
to
condemn
these
Gentlemen
only
to
Perpetual
Exile
,
because
their
Story
contains
something
of
the
Famous
Boyardo's
Invention
;
from
whence
that
Christian
Poet
,
Ariosto
borrow'd
several
of
his
Fancies
:
whom
indeed
,
I
would
use
with
as
little
Respect
,
if
I
should
meet
him
prating
in
any
other
Language
then
his
own
,
as
high
a
Value
as
I
have
for
him
in
his
Native
Idiome
.
Why
,
I
have
him
at
home
in
Italian
,
quo
the
Barber
,
but
I
cannot
understand
him
.
So
much
the
better
,
reply'd
the
Curate
,
't
is
not
a
Farthing
matter
;
and
we
should
have
been
highly
oblig'd
to
the
Captain
that
translated
it
into
Spanish
,
had
he
spar'd
himself
that
Trouble
;
for
,
to
say
Truth
,
he
has
done
his
Author
a
filthy
deal
of
wrong
;
a
Misfortune
that
happ'ns
to
all
Translators
of
Verse
,
who
can
never
retain
the
natural
Graces
of
the
Original
Language
,
let
their
Wit
and
Industry
be
never
so
great
.
And
therefore
,
as
for
him
,
and
all
others
that
undertake
to
write
of
the
Affairs
of
France
;
't
is
my
Opinion
,
that
we
ought
to
preserve
'em
in
some
secure
and
dry
Place
,
till
we
can
be
at
leisure
to
consider
how
to
dispose
of
'em
;
except
it
be
Bernardo
del
Carpio
,
and
one
more
call'd
Roncivalles
,
with
whom
if
ever
I
meet
,
I
will
certainly
deliver
'em
up
into
the
Hands
of
the
Secular
Power
.
To
all
which
the
Barber
readily
submitted
,
as
one
that
pinn'd
his
Faith
upon
the
Curate's
Sleeve
,
well-knowing
him
to
be
a
good
Christian
,
and
a
Friend
of
Truth
.
Thereupon
,
opening
the
next
Volume
,
they
found
it
to
be
Palmerin
de
Oliva
,
and
the
next
to
that
,
Palmerin
of
England
.
Are
ye
there
,
quo
the
Curate
,
let
that
Palmerin
de
Oliva
be
first
torn
to
flitters
,
then
burnt
,
and
lastly
let
his
Ashes
be
strew'd
i'
the
Air
,
for
the
Wind
to
carry
where
they
may
be
never
seen
more
.
But
for
Palmerin
of
England
,
let
him
be
preserv'd
as
a
Relique
of
Antiquity
;
and
let
us
put
him
in
a
Box
as
costly
as
that
which
Alexander
found
among
the
Spoils
of
Darius
,
which
he
consecrated
to
Homer's
Works
.
That
Book
,
Neighbour
,
is
to
be
valu'd
for
two
things
.
First
,
for
its
own
Excellency
;
and
secondly
,
because
it
is
said
to
have
been
written
by
a
learned
King
of
Portugal
.
All
the
Adventures
of
the
Castle
of
Miraguarda
are
well
and
neatly
fancy'd
,
the
Stile
is
easie
and
pure
;
beside
that
,
the
Author
has
taken
great
care
to
observe
a
Decorum
in
all
,
and
to
be
exact
in
his
Characters
.
And
therefore
Mr.
Nicholas
,
with
Submission
to
your
better
Advice
,
both
he
,
and
Amadis
de
Gaul
shall
be
exempted
from
the
Fire
;
but
for
all
the
rest
,
Long-tail
and
Bob-tail
,
without
any
farther
search
,
let
'em
all
go
to
the
Stake
.
Not
so
furious
,
good
Neighbour
,
reply'd
the
Barber
,
for
this
Book
here
in
my
Hand
,
is
the
famous
Don
Belianis
.
He
,
quo
the
Curate
with
his
two
,
three
,
and
four
Parts
,
had
need
of
a
good
Dose
of
Rheubarb
to
purge
off
that
dreadful
Mass
of
Choler
that
continually
inflames
his
Blood
;
besides
,
his
Castle
of
Fame
,
should
be
utterly
demolish'd
,
and
several
other
Impertinences
par'd
away
;
which
done
,
we
should
be
willing
to
shew
him
Mercy
,
or
expose
him
to
Justice
,
as
we
approv'd
or
disapprov'd
the
Emendations
made
.
Till
then
,
Neighbour
,
pray
keep
him
at
home
in
your
own
Closet
,
and
be
sure
to
let
no
body
read
him
.
I
like
your
Admonitions
very
well
,
quo
the
Barber
,
and
to
save
him
the
trouble
of
reading
any
more
Titles
,
he
bid
the
Maid
take
all
the
great
Volumes
and
throw
'em
into
the
Court
.
She
that
would
have
burnt
all
the
Romances
in
the
World
for
a
new
Smock
,
had
no
need
of
being
twice
spoken
to
,
so
that
she
sent
eight
large
Folio's
presently
to
their
long
Home
.
But
the
next
Book
,
heaving
more
then
she
could
well
lift
,
she
let
fall
at
the
Barber's
Feet
,
who
being
curious
to
see
what
it
was
,
found
it
to
be
the
History
of
the
famous
White
Tyrant
.
Cuds-niggers-daggers
,
quo
the
Curate
,
what
ha'
ye
got
Monsieur
the
White
Tyrant
too
?
Let
me
see
him
pray
,
Mr.
Nicholas
;
this
is
a
Treasure
that
you
have
found
;
this
is
an
Antidote
against
Melancholy
.
Here
we
shall
find
the
Valiant
Knight
,
Don
Kyrie
Elyson
of
Montalban
,
and
Thomas
of
Montalban
his
Brother
,
with
the
Knight
Fonseca
;
the
Combate
of
the
valiant
Detriante
with
the
Mastiff
;
the
Stratagems
of
the
Lady
Pleasure-of-my-life
;
the
Amours
and
Wiles
of
the
Lady
Tranquilla
,
and
the
Empress
in
love
with
her
Page
.
The
Devil
take
me
now
,
Neighbour
,
if
I
lye
,
this
is
one
of
the
best
Books
in
the
World
,
for
the
Stile
,
and
the
most
natural
.
Here
the
Knights
eat
,
and
sleep
,
and
die
i'
their
Beds
,
and
make
their
Wills
before
they
expire
;
with
several
other
things
both
profitable
and
necessary
,
of
which
other
Books
never
speak
a
Word
.
Yet
for
all
that
,
I
have
a
good
mind
to
send
the
Author
to
spend
the
rest
of
his
days
i'
the
Gallies
for
poisoning
the
World
with
so
many
curs'd
Absurdities
,
as
it
were
,
knowingly
,
and
of
his
Malice
fore-thought
.
Carry
him
home
therefore
,
Neighbour
,
and
read
him
,
and
then
you
will
find
,
that
all
that
I
say
is
true
.
I
make
no
question
of
it
,
cry'd
the
Barber
;
but
what
shall
we
do
with
all
these
lesser
Books
that
remain
behind
?
Certainly
,
reply'd
the
Curate
,
these
can
never
be
Books
of
Chivalry
,
they
are
too
small
.
Here
are
none
but
Poets
,
and
men
of
Madrigals
,
I
'le
warrant
ye
.
And
so
it
fell
out
;
for
the
first
they
open'd
,
happen'd
to
be
Diana
de
Monte
Mayor
.
I
thought
so
,
quo
the
Curate
;
but
for
these
,
believing
all
the
rest
to
be
of
the
same
Stamp
,
they
cannot
be
thought
to
deserve
the
Punishment
of
a
Woman-Coiner
;
for
they
cause
not
that
Disorder
in
the
World
,
which
Books
of
Knight-Errantry
are
guilty
of
;
nor
are
the
Maggots
which
they
engender
,
half
so
corroding
and
prejudicial
to
the
Brain
.
O
good
Mr.
Curate
,
cry'd
the
Neice
,
let
'em
e'en
suffer
with
the
rest
;
for
should
my
Uncle
be
cur'd
of
his
Knight-Errant
Frenzy
,
and
once
betake
himself
to
reading
these
Books
,
we
should
have
him
turn
Shepherd
,
and
then
we
should
never
keep
him
from
roving
and
rambling
over
all
the
Groves
,
Meadows
,
and
Plains
o'
the
Kingdom
with
his
Croud
and
his
Flageolet
,
and
which
is
worse
,
perhaps
we
should
have
him
turn
Poet
too
;
for
they
say
,
that
Poetry
is
one
of
the
most
infectious
Diseases
i'
the
World
,
and
the
most
incurable
.
The
Lady
speaks
Reason
,
quo
the
Curate
;
't
will
do
very
well
to
remove
this
Stumbling-block
out
of
our
Friends
way
.
And
to
that
end
let
us
begin
with
Diana
de
Monte
Mayor
;
yet
I
do
not
think
it
fit
to
throw
him
into
the
Fire
,
but
only
to
geld
him
;
for
indeed
all
that
he
talks
about
the
Witch
Felicia
,
and
the
enchanted
Water
,
with
the
greatest
part
of
his
Verses
,
is
too
luxuriant
and
rampant
;
after
which
Castration
,
we
may
permit
his
Eunuch-ship
the
Honour
of
being
the
first
that
wrote
in
Prose
of
that
nature
.
Cuds-fish
,
quo
the
Barber
,
here
is
another
Diana
call'd
the
second
,
compil'd
by
one
of
Salamanca
;
Hey-day
!
and
a
third
,
written
by
one
Giles
Pole
.
Let
that
of
Salamanca
,
quo
the
Curate
,
encrease
the
number
of
the
Dead
;
but
preserve
that
of
Giles
Pole
,
as
charily
as
if
Apollo
himself
had
wrote
it
.
Now
go
on
,
Neighbour
,
for
it
grows
late
.
Nouns
,
quo
the
Barber
,
here
are
no
less
then
Ten
Books
of
the
Fortune
of
Love
,
compos'd
by
Anthony
Lefraso
,
a
Sardinian
Poet
.
By
my
Holy
Orders
,
quo
the
Curate
,
since
Apollo
was
Apollo
,
and
the
Muses
were
the
Muses
,
or
that
ever
Poets
were
in
the
World
,
there
was
never
,
in
its
kind
,
a
more
pleasant
and
witty
Book
written
;
he
that
never
read
this
Book
,
never
read
any
thing
that
was
delightful
.
Give
it
me
,
Neighbour
,
I
had
rather
have
it
then
a
Gown
and
Cassock
of
the
best
Florence
Silk
in
Tuscany
.
These
that
follow
are
the
Shepherd
of
Iberia
,
the
Nymphs
of
Enares
,
the
Cure
of
Jealousie
.
Take
'em
Jaylor
,
quo
the
Curate
,
as
they
come
together
,
let
'em
go
together
—
and
never
ask
why
,
Neighbour
,
for
then
we
shall
ne're
ha'
done
.
Here
's
another
Shepherd
,
quo
the
Barber
,
call'd
the
Shepherd
of
Filida
.
He
was
no
Shepherd
,
cry'd
the
Curate
,
but
a
compleat
Courtier
,
keep
him
as
the
Apple
of
thine
Eye
.
Bless
me
,
quo
the
Barber
,
we
shall
ne're
be
poor
now
,
here
's
the
Ware-house
it self
,
or
the
Treasury
of
Poetry
.
Ay
,
quo
the
Curate
,
't
is
a
Ware-house
indeed
,
but
like
a
Costermongers
,
there
are
a
World
of
rotten
Pippins
among
the
sound
;
were
they
less
,
they
would
be
of
more
value
:
Keep
it
however
,
because
the
Author
is
my
Friend
,
and
for
the
sake
of
some
few
soaring
Fancies
of
his
that
are
extant
.
Here
's
a
Book
of
Sonnets
and
Madrigals
,
quo
the
Barber
,
by
Lopez
Maldonado
.
That
's
my
particular
Friend
,
reply'd
the
Curate
.
Men
admire
his
Verses
when
he
reads
'em
himself
,
and
such
is
the
Sweetness
of
his
Voice
,
that
when
he
sings
'em
,
he
makes
all
the
World
dance
after
his
Pipe
.
He
is
a
little
too
tedious
in
his
Eclogues
;
preserve
him
however
from
Tribulation
.
But
how
d'
ye
call
the
next
?
This
is
Michel
Servantes's
Galatea
,
reply'd
Mr.
Nicholas
.
He
is
one
of
my
old
Acquaintance
,
quo
the
Curate
;
but
a
Person
more
remarkable
for
his
Misfortunes
,
then
his
Poetry
.
Something
there
is
of
Conceit
and
Invention
in
his
Book
;
a
great
Cry
,
and
a
little
Wool
;
for
he
promises
much
,
performs
little
.
We
must
stay
for
his
Second
Part
,
of
which
he
assure
us
;
perhaps
in
that
,
he
may
make
amends
for
his
former
Errors
.
Set
him
aside
therefore
,
and
let
us
see
who
are
they
that
stand
there
all
arow
?
Why
,
here
is
th'
Araucana
of
Don
Alonzo
d'
Hercilla
;
th'
Austriada
of
John
Ruffo
,
one
of
the
Common-Council-men
of
Cerdova
,
and
the
Monferrat
of
Christopher
de
Verves
,
a
Poet
of
Valencia
.
Those
,
quo
the
Curate
,
are
the
best
Heroick
Verses
that
ever
were
compos'd
in
Spanish
,
and
may
compare
with
the
choicest
of
the
Italians
.
Preserve
'em
therefore
charily
,
as
precious
Monuments
of
the
Excellency
of
our
Poets
.
At
length
the
Curate
,
weary
of
looking
over
so
many
Authors
,
concluded
to
throw
all
the
rest
into
his
Bone-fire
,
without
farther
Examination
.
But
the
Barber
shewing
him
one
more
that
was
already
open'd
,
and
entitl'd
,
the
Tears
of
Angelica
:
Truly
,
quo
the
Parson
,
I
should
have
wept
my self
,
had
this
Book
miscarry'd
,
by
my
Order
;
for
the
Author
was
not
only
one
of
the
best
Poets
of
Spain
,
but
in
the
whole
World
;
and
has
been
particularly
successful
in
his
Translation
of
several
of
Ovid's
Fables
.
CHAP.
VII
.
Of
Don
Quixote's
second
departure
from
his
House
.
WHile
they
were
thus
employ'd
,
they
heard
Don
Quixote
making
a
most
horrid
noise
,
and
crying
out
in
his
Bed
,
Here
,
here
,
Valiant
Knights
;
Here
it
is
that
you
ought
to
shew
the
strength
and
vigour
of
your
Arms
,
and
not
to
let
the
Courtiers
carry
away
the
Honour
of
the
Tournament
.
This
hideous
out-cry
call'd
away
the
Inquisitors
from
any
farther
examination
of
the
Study
;
so
't
is
very
probable
,
that
the
rest
of
the
Library
being
left
to
the
mercy
of
the
Maid
and
the
Niece
,
they
made
havock
of
all
,
without
minding
due
forms
of
Law
.
And
thus
't
is
thought
that
La
Carolea
,
Leo
of
Spain
,
and
the
Acts
of
the
Emperor
,
Compos'd
by
Don
Lewis
D'
Alvala
,
which
could
not
choose
but
be
in
the
same
Catalogue
,
were
all
Sacrific'd
to
the
Flames
of
Purgatory
.
A
Fate
,
perhaps
,
which
they
might
have
avoided
,
had
the
Curate
been
there
to
have
heard
their
Justifications
.
Don
Quixote
was
just
up
,
when
his
Library-Condemners
came
into
the
Chamber
,
where
they
found
him
making
a
heavy
bustle
,
tearing
his
Throat
,
full
of
Anger
,
quarrelling
with
the
Air
,
and
laying
on
upon
the
Walls
back-stroke
and
fore-stroke
;
thereupon
they
altogether
lay'd
hold
of
him
,
and
having
disarm'd
him
,
put
him
to
bed
;
where
after
he
had
repos'd
a
while
,
and
recover'd
his
strength
,
turning
to
that
side
where
the
Curate
sate
,
My
good
Lord
Arch-Bishop
Turpin
,
said
he
,
't
is
the
greatest
piece
of
shame
in
the
World
,
that
the
twelve
Peers
should
so
basely
let
the
Courtiers
go
away
with
the
Honour
of
the
Tournament
,
after
we
the
Knights
Adventurers
had
carry'd
it
for
three
days
together
before
.
Patience
is
a
Vertue
,
an
't
like
your
Worship
,
reply'd
the
Curate
:
Fortune
is
fickle
,
and
they
that
lose
to
day
,
may
win
to
morrow
.
Therefore
pray
Sir
,
mind
your
Health
at
present
;
for
of
necessity
you
must
be
extreamly
tyr'd
,
if
not
very
much
wounded
.
As
for
my
being
wounded
,
answer'd
Don
Quixote
,
there
's
no
such
thing
;
but
that
I
am
bruis'd
and
mortify'd
't
is
very
true
:
For
when
I
was
down
,
Rowland
the
Bastard
fell
a
thrashing
my
bones
with
a
huge
Ok'n
Plant
,
out
of
meer
spleen
,
because
I
pretended
to
be
more
Valiant
then
He
.
But
I
will
renounce
the
Name
of
Rinaldo
of
Montalban
,
if
,
maugre
all
his
Enchantments
,
I
do
not
quit
scores
with
Him
,
so
soon
as
I
get
well
.
And
therefore
let
'em
bring
me
my
Supper
,
't
is
that
which
I
have
most
need
of
at
present
,
and
then
let
me
alone
to
my
Revenge
.
Accordingly
they
brought
him
some
Victuals
,
which
when
he
had
eat'n
,
he
fell
asleep
again
,
at
what
time
they
left
him
to
his
slumbers
,
partly
wondring
,
partly
smiling
at
his
Follies
.
The
same
Night
the
Female
Executioner
burnt
all
the
Books
she
could
find
in
the
House
;
and
't
is
a
hundred
to
one
but
that
several
suffer'd
in
the
General
Calamity
that
deserv'd
a
better
Fate
,
according
to
the
Proverb
,
That
many
times
the
Innocent
perish
with
the
Guilty
.
Among
the
rest
of
the
Cures
,
which
the
Curate
and
Barber
had
found
out
,
as
most
proper
for
their
Friends
Distemper
,
one
was
to
stop
up
the
Study-door
,
so
that
he
might
not
be
able
to
find
it
when
he
rose
,
hoping
that
the
Effect
would
cease
,
when
the
Cause
was
taken
away
;
and
that
if
he
enquir'd
for
the
Key
,
they
should
tell
him
that
a
certain
Enchanter
had
carry'd
away
Study
,
Books
and
all
.
Two
days
after
,
Don
Quixote
being
got
up
,
the
first
thing
he
did
was
to
go
visit
his
Books
,
but
not
finding
the
Study
where
he
had
left
'em
,
he
sought
about
in
every
Room
of
the
House
for
the
door
.
At
length
,
perceiving
all
his
labour
in
vain
,
he
ask'd
the
Maid-Servant
where
his
Study
of
Books
stood
?
What
Study
,
Sir
,
reply'd
the
Maid
,
according
to
her
Instructions
?
Here
's
neither
Study
nor
Books
,
nor
so
much
as
a
piece
of
Paper
i'
this
House
,
for
the
Devil
has
carry'd
all
away
.
Not
the
Devil
,
cry'd
the
Niece
,
but
something
,
or
some
body
ten
times
worse
,
the
Lord
deliver
me
.
For
about
a
day
or
two
after
you
were
gone
,
in
the
Night
time
there
came
a
Sorcerer
as
they
call
'em
,
mounted
upon
a
Dragon
,
and
wrapt
up
in
a
Cloud
instead
of
a
Leaguer
Cloak
;
who
as
soon
as
he
came
to
the
Door
,
alighting
from
the
Dragon's
back
,
enter'd
the
House
,
went
up
to
the
Study
,
and
what
he
did
there
,
the
Lord
of
Oxford
knows
:
But
there
he
stay'd
a
while
,
and
when
he
went
away
,
he
left
such
a
smoak
and
stench
behind
him
,
that
we
were
almost
choak'd
.
At
length
,
we
went
to
see
what
he
had
done
;
but
looking
for
the
Study
,
we
could
neither
find
Books
nor
Study
,
nor
any
sign
of
a
Study
that
had
been
there
.
Only
the
Maid
and
I
remember
(
and
't
was
as
much
as
we
could
do
,
being
half
scar'd
out
of
our
Wits
)
that
as
he
was
going
away
,
the
cursed
old
Miscreant
cry'd
out
with
a
loud
voice
,
I
think
I
have
plagu'd
the
owner
of
these
Books
for
drubbing
the
Gyant
my
Friend
.
And
then
I
think
he
call'd
himself
by
the
Name
of
Munnaton
.
Wheston
you
mean
,
answer'd
Don
Quixote
.
Ay
,
Ay
,
Wheston
,
or
Whiston
,
cry'd
the
Maid
,
I
am
sure
his
Name
ended
in
Ton
.
't
is
very
true
,
reply'd
Don
Quixote
,
he
is
a
very
famous
Necromancer
,
and
my
Mortal
Enemy
;
for
he
understands
by
his
Art
,
that
I
am
one
day
,
in
despight
of
all
his
Magick
,
to
vanquish
in
single
Combat
,
a
young
Knight
,
whom
he
loves
and
protects
,
and
therefore
he
works
me
all
the
mischief
he
can
.
But
let
him
know
,
he
does
but
fool
himself
,
and
that
there
's
no
avoiding
what
the
Fates
have
ordain'd
.
There
's
no
question
to
be
made
on
't
,
reply'd
his
Neice
:
But
dear
Uncle
,
said
she
,
why
do
you
thus
engage
your self
in
all
these
Quarrels
and
Combats
?
Would
it
not
be
much
better
for
you
to
live
quiet
at
home
,
enjoy
your
Estate
,
and
take
the
pleasure
of
Hunting
,
then
to
perplex
and
weary
your self
with
roving
and
rambling
about
the
World
like
a
Vagabond
;
and
seeking
for
better
Bread
then
is
made
of
Wheat
,
not
considering
,
that
there
's
some
People
who
gad
a
great
way
for
Wool
,
that
return
home
without
Hair
.
Oh
my
dear
Neice
,
answer'd
Don
Quixote
,
thou
art
much
mistak'n
;
for
before
I
'le
be
shorn
by
any
Man
,
I
'le
tear
his
Beard
from
the
Chin
of
the
proudest
He
that
dares
but
to
look
upon
the
Curles
of
one
of
my
Locks
.
To
which
his
Neice
made
no
reply
,
perceiving
the
Knight
begin
to
be
in
wrath
.
Fifteen
whole
days
did
our
Hero
remain
at
home
to
repair
his
batter'd
Carkass
,
without
the
least
sign
of
any
Reformation
;
during
which
time
,
the
Curate
and
the
Barber
had
the
most
pleasant
disputes
in
the
World
with
him
,
while
he
maintain'd
that
there
was
nothing
so
beneficial
to
Mankind
as
Knight-Errantry
,
to
which
end
he
was
resolv'd
to
re-establish
the
Order
.
In
which
disputes
the
Curate
sometimes
contradicted
him
,
sometimes
submitted
;
for
had
he
not
us'd
that
Policy
,
he
might
have
been
thrash'd
for
a
Necromancer
.
In
the
mean
time
,
Don
Quixote
very
privately
,
but
very
earnestly
made
it
his
business
every
day
to
solicite
one
of
his
Neighbours
,
a
Labouring-man
,
and
a
good
honest
Fellow
,
if
we
may
be
permitted
to
call
a
poor
man
honest
:
for
he
was
poor
indeed
;
poor
in
Purse
,
and
poor
in
Brains
:
Which
Don
Quixote
considering
,
bestow'd
all
his
Rhetoric
upon
him
,
told
him
out
so
many
thousands
of
Promises
,
and
gave
him
so
many
fair
Arguments
,
that
at
length
he
prevail'd
with
him
to
become
his
Squire
.
Among
other
motives
this
was
one
,
that
his
prospect
of
Gain
was
great
,
but
his
Loss
could
be
nothing
:
For
that
in
Knight-Errantry
there
were
oft-times
those
lucky
hits
,
that
in
the
time
that
a
man
may
be
taking
up
two
straws
,
the
Knight
might
take
an
Island
;
and
it
might
be
his
luck
to
make
him
Governour
of
a
whole
Country
.
Thus
Sancha
Pancha
(
for
that
was
the
Name
of
the
Labouring-man
)
vanquish'd
by
these
invincible
Reasons
,
forsook
his
Wife
and
Children
to
follow
his
Neighbour
in
the
quality
of
a
Squire
,
or
Shield-Porter
.
And
now
Don
Quixote
assur'd
of
such
a
necessary
Appurtenance
,
made
it
his
business
to
furnish
himself
with
Money
:
To
which
purpose
,
putting
here
to
Sale
,
Mortgaging
there
,
and
all
the
while
selling
Robin
Hood's
Pennoth's
,
he
got
a
good
round
Sum
together
.
After
that
,
he
borrow'd
another
Target
of
one
of
his
Neighbours
,
and
having
repair'd
his
Head-piece
and
Visor
the
best
he
could
,
he
gave
notice
to
his
Squire
of
the
day
and
hour
that
he
intended
to
depart
,
to
the
end
he
might
furnish
himself
with
all
things
necessary
;
more
especially
he
bid
him
be
careful
not
to
forget
a
Wallet
.
Sancha
promis'd
all
Obedience
,
and
moreover
signify'd
his
desire
to
take
his
Ass
along
with
him
,
which
was
strong
and
in
good
case
.
The
mentioning
of
the
Ass
put
Don
Quixote
into
a
brown
study
for
a
time
,
being
in
a
great
Quandary
whether
it
were
lawful
for
him
to
permit
his
Squire
that
Priviledge
;
not
being
able
to
call
to
mind
that
of
all
the
Knights
which
he
had
read
,
ever
any
one
carry'd
along
with
him
a
Squire
mounted
upon
an
Ass.
However
at
last
he
resolv'd
to
give
Pancha
his
liberty
,
hoping
in
time
to
mount
him
more
honourably
,
the
first
unmannerly
Knight
that
he
should
happ'n
to
unhorse
.
He
also
furnish'd
himself
with
Shirts
,
and
other
Necessaries
,
according
to
the
Inn-keepers
Instructions
.
Which
being
done
with
all
the
secrecy
imaginable
,
Sancha
,
without
so
much
as
kissing
his
Wife
,
or
bidding
his
Children
God-buy
;
and
Don
Quixote
,
leaving
both
his
Maid
and
his
Niece
fast
asleep
,
stole
out
of
the
House
one
Night
,
and
having
got
the
Village
upon
their
backs
,
they
made
such
hast
,
that
by
break
of
day
they
were
quite
out
of
the
danger
of
being
pursu'd
.
As
for
Sancha
Pancha
,
he
rode
like
a
Patriarch
,
with
his
Wallet
and
his
Bottle
,
and
with
a
strange
impatience
to
see
himself
Governour
of
the
Island
which
his
Master
had
promis'd
him
.
They
took
the
same
Road
which
Don
Quixote
had
done
the
time
before
,
that
is
to
say
,
over
the
Plains
of
Montiel
,
through
which
they
travell'd
with
less
annoyance
,
then
when
Don
Quixote
rode
alone
,
by
reason
it
was
very
early
in
the
Morning
,
at
what
time
a
brisk
breeze
of
Wind
cool'd
the
fresh
Air
.
And
all
this
while
they
had
not
spok'n
a
word
one
to
another
;
but
Sancha
Pancha
,
whose
Tongue
was
never
wont
to
lie
still
so
long
,
at
length
breaking
silence
,
Sir
Knight-Errant
,
quo
he
to
his
Master
,
pray
do
not
you
forget
the
Island
which
you
have
promis'd
me
.
Heark
ye
me
,
Friend
Sancha
,
reply'd
Don
Quixote
,
you
must
know
that
in
all
Ages
,
this
has
been
the
constant
practice
of
Knight-Errants
,
to
give
their
Squires
the
Government
of
those
Islands
and
Kingdoms
which
they
conquer
;
which
laudable
Custom
I
am
resolv'd
to
keep
up
to
that
degree
,
that
whereas
other
Knights
never
rewarded
their
Squires
,
till
they
were
grown
old
,
and
incapable
of
starving
by
Day
,
and
watching
a
Nights
,
and
then
gave
'em
only
some
little
Province
or
other
,
with
the
Title
of
Count
or
Marquess
:
For
my
part
,
should
it
be
my
hap
,
before
we
have
liv'd
six
days
together
,
to
gain
an
Empire
,
to
which
many
other
Kingdoms
were
subject
,
I
would
cause
thee
to
be
Crown'd
King
of
one
of
those
Kingdoms
.
Nor
do
thou
think
this
to
be
a
strange
thing
:
For
such
good
Fortune
oft-times
befals
a
Knight-Errant
,
and
that
by
ways
and
means
so
un-foreseen
and
unexpected
,
that
I
may
chance
to
give
thee
much
more
then
I
promis'd
.
If
this
should
come
to
pass
,
reply'd
Sancha
Pancha
,
assuredly
my
Wife
Joan
Guthridge
will
be
a
Queen
,
and
all
my
Children
Infanta's
and
Dolphins
.
There
's
no
doubt
on
't
,
reply'd
Don
Quixote
.
I
do
a
little
question
it
,
answer'd
Sancha
;
for
I
am
perswaded
,
if
it
should
rain
Crowns
,
we
should
hardly
meet
with
one
that
would
fit
my
Wives
Head
:
For
to
tell
ye
truth
,
Sir
,
she
's
no
more
fit
to
make
a
Queen
,
then
a
pickl'd
Herring
;
I
believe
she
would
prove
a
better
Countess
,
and
yet
,
so
God
help
me
,
if
she
be
able
to
manage
that
Place
well
,
I
believe
't
is
as
much
as
she
can
do
.
Leave
that
to
God
a'
mighty
,
reply'd
Don
Quixote
,
he
will
give
thee
what
is
most
convenient
for
thee
;
and
therefore
pluck
up
a
good
Heart
,
and
scorn
to
content
thy self
with
less
then
a
Vice-Roy-ship
,
or
an
Earldom
at
least
.
No
more
I
will
,
reply'd
Don
Sancha
;
especially
since
I
have
so
good
and
so
discreet
a
Master
,
that
knows
what
to
give
me
,
and
what
I
am
able
to
discharge
.
CHAP.
VIII
.
Of
Don
Quixote's
good
Success
in
his
dreadful
and
unheard-of
Encounter
with
the
Windmills
.
WHile
they
were
thus
familiarly
talking
together
,
Don
Quixote
and
his
Squire
discover'd
at
a
distance
some
thirty
or
forty
Windmills
;
which
so
soon
as
the
Knight
espy'd
,
Fortune
now
conducts
us
better
then
we
can
guide
our selves
.
See
yonder
(
Friend
Sancha
)
no
less
then
thirty
Giants
of
enormous
stature
;
all
which
I
am
resolv'd
not
only
to
encounter
,
but
to
dis-embowel
.
't
will
be
a
good
beginning
to
enrich
our selves
with
their
Spoils
;
for
the
Quarrel
is
just
,
and
the
extirpation
of
this
detested
Race
will
be
an
acceptable
piece
of
Service
to
God
.
What
Giants
?
reply'd
Sancha
Pancha
.
Why
those
Giants
which
thou
seest
yonder
,
quo
Don
Quixote
,
with
their
hugeous
Arms
,
of
which
Race
there
are
some
whose
Arms
will
reach
two
Leagues
in
length
.
Mind
what
you
say
,
reply'd
Sancha
;
for
an
't
like
your
Worship
,
those
things
which
you
suppose
to
be
Giants
,
are
no
Giants
,
but
Windmills
;
and
the
Arms
you
fancy
,
are
only
the
Sails
that
turn
about
the
Wheels
when
they
grind
the
Corn
.
I
see
,
said
Don
Quixote
,
that
thou
art
a
Ninny
in
matters
of
Chivalry
.
They
are
Giants
,
Fool
;
and
therefore
if
thou
art
afraid
,
go
aside
and
say
thy
Pray'rs
:
for
my
part
,
I
am
resolv'd
to
encounter
'em
,
tho
as
many
more
.
And
so
saying
,
he
spurr'd
Rosinante
forward
,
tho
Sancha
still
swore
himself
to
the
Devil
,
that
they
were
no
Giants
,
but
Windmills
.
But
let
him
swear
himself
to
his
Damm
to
boot
,
he
so
strongly
fancy'd
'em
to
be
Giants
,
that
he
never
regarded
the
Oaths
of
his
Squire
;
and
the
nearer
he
rode
,
the
more
he
was
confirm'd
in
his
imagination
.
So
that
as
soon
as
he
came
within
hearing
,
he
tore
his
Throat
,
crying
out
,
Stand
,
Caitiffs
;
stand
your
Ground
,
vile
Miscreants
as
ye
are
,
and
flye
not
basely
from
a
single
Knight
,
that
fears
not
to
encounter
ye
all
in
a
heap
together
.
By
and
by
the
Wind
rising
,
made
the
Sweeps
begin
to
move
:
But
that
made
him
ten
times
madder
.
Then
he
swore
Nouns
and
Pronouns
,
what
!
defie
him
to
his
Teeth
!
But
ye
shall
pay
for
your
arrogance
,
quo
he
,
tho
ye
had
as
many
Arms
as
the
Giant
Briareus
.
After
that
,
he
most
devoutly
recommended
himself
to
his
Lady
Dulcinea
,
imploring
her
aid
in
that
extremity
of
danger
;
and
so
covering
himself
with
his
Buckler
,
and
couching
his
Lance
in
his
Rest
,
he
ran
with
all
Rosinante's
might
against
the
first
Windmill
,
pushing
his
Lance
through
one
of
the
Winlow's
,
which
with
the
swiftness
of
its
motion
whirling
away
the
Lance
,
shiver'd
it
into
several
pieces
;
and
then
throwing
Horse
and
Man
after
it
,
lay'd
the
poor
Knight
sprawling
i'
the
Field
,
at
the
distance
of
more
Yards
,
then
would
have
measur'd
Long
Megg
of
Lincoln
a
Gown
and
Petticoat
.
Which
Don
Sancha
perceiving
,
hasten'd
with
his
Ass
a
Dog-trot
;
and
finding
his
Master
almost
doz'd
with
the
fall
,
Mercy
save
me
,
quo
he
,
did
I
not
worry
your
Worship
to
take
care
what
ye
did
?
and
told
ye
they
were
Windmills
?
Which
no
body
but
might
have
seen
,
that
had
not
more
Windmills
in
his
Head
.
Peace
,
Friend
Sancha
,
peace
,
reply'd
Don
Quixote
,
there
is
nothing
so
subject
to
Fortune
as
War
,
for
it
fluctuates
in
perpetual
inconstancy
.
But
let
me
tell
thee
what
I
think
,
and
am
certain
't
is
true
;
that
cursed
Necromancer
,
Wheston
,
that
carry'd
away
my
Study
and
my
Books
,
as
sure
as
a
Gun
has
chang'd
the
Giants
into
Windmills
,
on
purpose
to
deprive
me
of
the
Honour
which
I
intended
,
of
grinding
them
to
powder
;
such
is
his
rage
and
malice
against
me
:
But
all
his
Enchantments
in
the
end
must
yield
to
the
edge
of
my
Sword
.
Pray
God
ye
be
John
,
reply'd
Sancha
;
and
so
heaving
him
up
again
upon
his
Leggs
,
by
the
help
of
a
Shrieve's
Block
,
he
mounted
the
unfortunate
Rosinante
once
more
,
half
Shoulder-sprain'd
,
poor
Beast
,
with
his
fall
.
This
Atchievement
thus
perform'd
,
they
took
the
Road
that
leads
to
the
Passage
through
the
Mountains
,
and
all
the
way
the
last
Adventure
was
the
subject
of
their
Discourse
;
Don
Quixote
believing
that
he
could
not
miss
of
Adventures
in
a
Road
so
greatly
frequented
.
However
the
loss
of
his
Lance
extreamly
tormented
him
,
for
which
,
after
he
had
express'd
his
grief
to
Sancha
,
I
remember
,
said
the
Knight
,
that
I
have
read
of
a
certain
Cavalier
,
whose
Name
was
Don
Pedro
de
Vargas
,
who
having
brok'n
his
Lance
,
tore
down
a
huge
massie
Arm
of
an
Oak
,
and
slew
so
many
Moors
,
that
he
won
to
himself
and
his
Posterity
the
Sirname
of
Machuca
,
or
the
Oak-render
.
I
tell
thee
this
,
Sancha
,
because
I
intend
to
tear
down
from
the
next
Oak
I
meet
,
an
Arm
as
sturdy
and
as
fit
for
the
work
as
you
can
imagine
that
to
be
,
with
which
I
will
perform
such
feats
of
Arms
,
that
thou
shalt
bless
thy self
,
that
ever
thou
hadst
the
Honour
to
see
me
,
and
be
the
witness
of
Exploits
almost
surmounting
belief
.
By
the
Ghost
of
St.
Jago
,
reply'd
Don
Sancha
,
I
believe
't
is
true
,
because
you
say
it
.
But
pray
,
Sir
,
sit
upright
i'
your
Saddle
,
you
ride
upon
one
Buttock
,
as
if
you
had
a
Bile
upon
t'
other
.
No
Bile
,
good
Sancha
,
but
a
plaguy
bruise
upon
the
Crupper-bone
:
However
,
a
Knight-Errant
must
never
complain
,
tho
his
Guts
were
coming
out
of
his
Belly
.
Then
I
shall
say
no
more
,
reply'd
Don
Sancha
;
and
yet
God
knows
my
heart
,
I
should
be
glad
to
hear
you
complain
a
little
sometimes
,
when
you
have
receiv'd
a
hurt
.
For
my
part
,
I
am
sure
I
shall
cry
like
a
sucking
Calf
if
a
Giant
does
but
hold
a
Cudgel
over
my
Pate
,
unless
the
Squires
are
under
the
same
Law
with
their
Masters
.
Don
Quixote
laugh'd
at
the
simplicity
of
his
Squire
,
and
assur'd
him
he
might
cry
as
much
as
he
would
,
and
when
he
would
,
whether
he
had
any
cause
or
no
;
for
that
he
had
never
found
any
thing
to
the
contrary
in
all
his
reading
.
Pray
,
Sir
,
then
,
said
Sancha
,
is
it
not
high
time
to
set
our
Teeth
a
going
,
for
I
find
't
is
not
Lawful
for
you
to
complain
of
Hunger
?
I
do
not
find
my
Stomack
yet
up
,
reply'd
Don
Quixote
;
but
for
thy
own
part
,
do
as
thy
Belly
requires
.
Sancha
having
thus
obtain'd
leave
,
open'd
his
Wallet
,
as
he
sate
upon
his
Ass
,
and
having
cut
himself
a
good
Lunchin
of
Bread
and
Cheese
,
fell
a
munching
behind
his
Master
,
ever
and
anon
lifting
his
Bottle
to
his
Nose
,
as
would
have
made
a
Dutch-man
a-dry
to
have
seen
him
.
And
thus
as
he
sate
cramming
his
Guts
at
ease
,
and
drinking
at
leisure
,
he
went
his
Asses
pace
,
minding
neither
Family
at
home
,
nor
his
Master's
great
Promises
,
but
only
to
fortifie
himself
against
Hunger
and
Drowth
.
That
Night
they
made
their
Beds
under
the
Trees
;
from
one
of
which
Don
Quixote
pull'd
down
a
lusty
,
thumping
long
Branch
,
to
serve
him
instead
of
a
Lance
,
and
fix'd
to
it
the
head
and
steeling
of
his
broken
Weapon
.
After
that
,
he
compos'd
himself
to
his
Rest
;
but
alas
,
he
could
not
sleep
a
wink
for
thinking
upon
his
dear
Dulcinea
,
in
imitation
of
what
he
had
read
in
his
Romances
,
where
the
Knights-Errant
never
shut
their
Eyes
,
but
spend
their
Nights
in
Desarts
and
Forests
,
contemplating
upon
the
Beauty
of
their
absent
Mistresses
.
But
Sancha
,
who
was
of
a
coarser
Mettle
,
and
more
earthy
substance
,
could
not
hold
up
so
briskly
against
the
Charms
of
Morpheus
.
For
he
,
having
fill'd
his
Paunch
with
something
more
then
Wind
,
fell
fast
asleep
,
without
the
help
of
Succory-water
,
and
made
but
one
napp
of
it
,
from
the
time
that
he
lay'd
himself
forth
upon
the
Grass
,
till
Sun-rise
.
Nor
would
the
heat
of
the
scorching
Planet
,
nor
the
melody
of
the
Birds
that
warbl'd
on
every
side
,
have
made
him
stir
,
had
not
his
Master
wak'd
him
with
five
or
six
huzza's
,
as
loud
as
St.
Pulcher's
Tenor
.
However
,
being
thus
rous'd
,
he
forgot
not
to
wash
his
Eyes
with
a
dram
of
the
Bottle
,
where
he
took
two
or
three
long-winded
swiggs
,
not
a
little
pensive
to
find
it
then
so
light
,
and
no
possibility
of
a
Recruit
upon
the
Road
they
were
to
Travel
.
As
for
Don
Quixote
,
who
had
been
feasting
all
Night
upon
the
more
delicate
and
savoury
thoughts
of
his
Mistress
,
he
car'd
for
no
Breakfast
;
and
therefore
being
mounted
,
they
rode
directly
toward
the
passage
of
the
Mountains
,
which
they
discover'd
about
Eight
a
Clock
i'
the
Morning
.
Where
being
arriv'd
,
Here
it
is
,
cry'd
Don
Quixote
,
that
we
may
have
Opportunity
to
thrust
our
Arms
up
to
the
elbows
in
Adventures
.
But
here
by
the
way
I
must
admonish
thee
never
to
draw
thy
Sword
,
tho
thou
seest
me
in
the
greatest
danger
i'
the
World
,
unless
thou
find'st
me
assaulted
by
the
Rabble
,
or
any
mean
Mechanick
Fellows
like
thy self
;
for
in
such
a
case
thou
may'st
assist
me
,
otherwise
the
Laws
of
Chivalry
will
not
permit
thee
to
encounter
a
Knight
,
till
thou
art
Dubb'd
thy self
.
Never
doubt
,
Sir
,
quo
Don
Sancha
,
but
I
shall
obey
your
Worship
most
punctually
in
this
;
and
so
much
the
rather
,
because
I
am
naturally
of
a
very
peaceable
temper
,
and
a
sworn
Enemy
to
Quarrels
.
On
the
other
side
,
if
any
Knight
offer
to
drubb
me
first
,
I
am
afraid
I
shall
hardly
observe
your
Laws
;
for
all
Law
,
both
Divine
and
Humane
,
permits
a
Man
to
defend
his
own
Skin
.
I
agree
to
that
,
reply'd
Don
Quixote
;
but
as
to
thy
assisting
me
against
Knights-Errant
,
I
tell
thee
again
,
thou
hast
no
more
to
do
,
then
only
to
say
thy
Prayers
;
but
as
to
other
things
,
thou
art
to
bridle
thy
natural
Courage
.
Don't
I
tell
ye
,
Sir
,
that
I
'le
be
sure
to
do
it
:
Ne'r
trust
me
now
,
if
I
don't
keep
that
Commandment
more
solemnly
then
any
of
the
Ten
.
Concluding
thus
their
Discourse
,
they
espy'd
coming
toward
'em
two
Fryers
,
of
the
Order
of
St.
Benedict
,
mounted
upon
Dromedaries
,
for
they
were
a
sort
of
strapping
Mules
,
with
their
Umbrello's
and
Glasses
before
their
Eyes
.
Behind
appear'd
a
Coach
and
five
or
six
Gentlemen
a'
Horse-back
,
with
two
Men
a
foot
that
led
the
Mules
.
In
the
Coach
was
a
Lady
of
Biscay
,
going
to
meet
her
Husband
at
Sevil
,
where
he
stay'd
to
take
Shipping
for
the
Indies
,
where
he
had
obtain'd
a
considerable
Employment
.
No
sooner
had
Don
Quixote
descry'd
the
Fryers
,
who
were
not
of
the
same
Company
,
tho
travelling
the
same
Road
,
but
he
cry'd
to
his
Squire
,
Either
I
am
deceiv'd
,
Friend
Sancha
,
or
yonder
is
one
of
the
most
famous
Adventures
that
ever
were
known
.
For
without
all
question
,
those
Sable
Apparitions
that
yonder
appear
,
must
be
some
Necromancers
,
that
are
carrying
away
some
Princess
in
that
Coach
;
and
it
is
my
Duty
to
use
the
utmost
of
my
power
to
prevent
so
great
an
Injury
.
Oh!
quo
Don
Sancha
,
shaking
his
Noddle
,
I
fear
me
this
will
be
more
idle
then
the
Adventure
of
the
Wind
mills
.
'
Slife
,
Sir
,
y
'are
under
another
mistake
;
these
are
Benedictine
Fryers
;
and
I
'le
be
hang'd
if
the
Coach
does
not
belong
to
the
People
that
are
travelling
upon
the
Road
:
And
therefore
I
say
again
,
have
a
care
of
being
deluded
by
the
Temptations
of
the
Devil
.
I
have
told
thee
already
,
Sancha
,
reply'd
Don
Quixote
,
that
thou
art
a
meer
Ninny-hammer
in
Adventures
.
What
I
say
,
is
true
,
and
thou
shalt
find
it
so
to
be
presently
.
And
having
so
said
,
he
advanc'd
,
and
posted
himself
just
in
the
middle
of
the
High-way
where
the
Monks
were
to
pass
.
And
when
they
came
within
hearing
,
in
a
loud
and
haughty
tone
,
Anathema's
and
Devils
in
Humane
shape
,
cry'd
he
,
release
those
High-born
Princesses
that
you
are
conveying
away
in
that
Coach
,
or
else
expect
a
speedy
Death
,
as
the
just
Reward
of
your
impious
deeds
.
Thereupon
the
Monks
immediately
stopp
d
their
Mules
,
no
less
astonish'd
at
the
strange
disguise
of
the
speaker
,
then
at
his
thundring
expressions
.
We
are
neither
Persons
Possess'd
,
quo
they
,
nor
Excommunicated
,
but
Fryers
of
the
Order
of
St.
Benedict
,
travelling
upon
the
Road
.
I
am
not
to
be
cajol'd
with
fair
words
,
reply'd
Don
Quixote
;
I
know
well
enough
what
ye
are
,
perfidious
Infidels
:
And
immediately
,
not
admitting
any
reply
,
he
ran
so
furiously
with
his
Lance
couch'd
against
the
Fryers
,
that
if
one
of
'em
had
not
prudently
thrown
himself
to
the
ground
,
his
Soul
must
have
been
forc'd
to
seek
another
Habitation
;
while
the
other
Monk
,
observing
the
discourteous
usage
of
his
Friend
,
clapt
Spurs
to
his
Mule
,
and
flew
for
't
with
that
speed
,
as
if
he
had
been
running
a
Race
with
the
Wind
.
Sancha
no
sooner
perceiv'd
the
Fryer
sprawling
upon
the
ground
,
but
he
skipp'd
off
his
Ass
,
and
presently
fell
to
rifling
the
Religious
Benedictine
;
at
what
time
the
two
Lackeys
that
attended
the
Fryers
on
foot
,
coming
up
to
the
Squire
,
ask'd
him
what
he
meant
to
strip
the
Gentleman
?
Because
they
are
my
due
,
reply'd
Sancha
,
as
being
the
spoils
which
my
Lord
and
Master
has
won
in
the
field
of
Battel
.
This
was
all
Heathen
Greek
to
the
Lackeys
;
and
therefore
,
to
relieve
their
Master
,
seeing
Don
Quixote
at
a
distance
,
who
was
then
in
a
deep
Discourse
by
the
side
of
the
Coach
,
they
both
fell
upon
Sancha
,
threw
him
down
,
and
after
they
had
trampl'd
upon
his
Guts
,
as
if
they
had
been
treading
a
Hay-mow
,
and
torn
above
the
best
half
of
his
Beard
from
his
Chin
,
left
him
for
dead
.
In
the
mean
while
the
Benedictine
,
who
was
more
scar'd
then
hurt
,
re-mounts
his
Mule
,
and
all
in
a
cold
sweat
,
as
pale
as
a
Ghost
,
spurs
after
his
Companion
,
who
staid
for
him
at
a
distance
,
expecting
the
issue
of
this
unexpected
Adventure
;
and
then
,
both
together
,
they
pursu'd
their
Journey
,
making
as
many
signs
of
the
Cross
,
as
if
they
had
had
the
Devil
at
their
backs
.
All
this
while
Don
Quixote
was
most
busily
employ'd
at
the
Boot
of
the
Coach
,
where
after
many
Goodly
Good
Morrows
to
the
Biscayner
Lady
,
Madam
,
said
he
,
your
transcendent
Beauty
is
now
no
longer
under
restraint
;
you
are
free
and
at
liberty
:
This
Arm
of
mine
shall
punish
the
bold
attempters
to
enslave
your
Person
.
And
that
you
may
not
be
ignorant
who
was
your
Deliverer
,
know
I
am
the
valiant
Don
Quixote
of
the
Mancha
,
Knight-Errant
;
the
Slave
and
Captive
that
adores
the
fair
and
incomparable
Dulcinea
del
Toboso
.
Nor
do
I
demand
any
other
recompence
for
the
Service
I
have
done
you
,
but
that
you
will
be
pleas'd
to
return
to
Toboso
,
there
to
visit
this
Lady
in
my
Name
,
and
let
her
know
how
far
you
are
beholding
to
me
for
your
Liberty
,
and
what
I
have
done
to
obtain
it
.
To
all
this
riff-raff
,
a
Biscayner
Gentleman
,
who
rode
along
with
the
Coach
,
listen'd
most
attentively
;
and
observing
that
Don
Quixote
not
only
stopp'd
the
Coach
,
but
would
make
the
Coach-man
also
drive
back
to
Toboso
,
he
bore
briskly
up
to
him
,
and
taking
hold
of
his
Lance
,
Sir
Cadwallader
,
quo
he
,
for
Biscan
Spanish
is
Welsh-English
,
i'
the
name
of
St.
Taffee
,
what
make
her
stand
prating
there
?
Her
was
as
good
get
her
gone
,
and
that
quickly
too
,
else
as
Cott
shall
shudge
her
Soul
,
her
will
stick
her
to
the
Heart
,
Plood
,
and
Cutts
.
To
which
Don
Quixote
reply'd
very
sowrly
,
Wer
't
thou
a
Gentleman
,
as
thou
art
not
,
but
a
Scoundrel
,
I
had
chastiz'd
thy
Insolence
long
ere
this
.
Splutrenailes
,
no
Shentleman
,
cry'd
the
Biscayner
;
by
Cott
and
St.
Taffee
,
thou
ly'st
i'
thy
Throat
:
Her
be
as
coot
a
Shentleman
as
a
Christian
.
Throw
away
her
Pike-staffs
,
and
draw
her
Swords
,
and
her
shall
find
her
a
Shentleman
py
Land
,
a
Shentleman
py
Sea
,
a
Shentleman
in
spite
of
the
Tevil
,
and
her
lyes
in
her
Liver
,
and
Lights
,
and
Lungs
,
if
her
tenies
what
her
say
.
A
match
quo
Momfort
,
reply'd
Don
Quixote
;
and
with
that
,
throwing
down
his
Lance
,
drawing
his
Sword
,
and
shouldring
his
Buckler
,
he
made
at
the
Biscayner
,
fully
resolv'd
upon
nothing
but
Massacre
.
The
Biscayner
seeing
him
come
on
so
furiously
,
would
fain
have
alighted
,
confiding
little
in
his
Mule
,
that
was
but
a
hyr'd
Beast
.
But
all
he
had
time
to
do
,
was
only
to
draw
his
Sword
,
and
snatch
a
Cushion
out
of
the
Coach
,
to
serve
him
instead
of
a
Shield
.
Which
done
,
the
two
Champions
encounter'd
each
other
with
all
the
signs
of
Mortal
Antipathy
.
The
standersby
did
all
they
could
to
pacifie
their
fury
;
but
't
was
a
thing
impossible
.
For
the
Biscayner's
Welsh
Blood
was
in
such
a
boyling
condition
,
that
he
swore
by
the
Peek
of
Tenariff
,
he
would
Murder
his
Mistress
,
and
all
that
oppos'd
him
,
if
they
would
not
let
him
alone
to
kill
the
Knight
.
Upon
this
,
the
Lady
,
quaking
and
quivering
,
commanded
the
Coach-man
to
drive
out
of
harms
way
,
while
the
Biscayner
at
the
same
time
let
fall
a
driving
blow
upon
his
Adversary's
shoulder
with
such
a
Gigantick
force
,
that
but
for
his
trusty
Target
,
he
had
split
the
Knight
from
the
Collar
to
the
Wast
,
like
a
Chequer
Talley
.
Thereupon
Don
Quixote
feeling
the
blow
like
the
fall
of
a
Mountain
,
with
a
loud
voice
,
Bright
Flower
of
Beauty
,
dearest
Dulcinea
,
Mistress
of
my
Soul
,
cry'd
he
,
assist
your
Champion
in
this
extremity
of
danger
,
fighting
to
support
your
Honour
.
After
which
short
Ejaculation
,
grasping
his
Sword
,
and
shouldring
his
Target
with
a
short-hand
swiftness
,
and
with
a
Tempestuous
forehead
,
menacing
nothing
but
Thunder
and
Destruction
,
he
darted
himself
,
Dragon-like
upon
his
Enemy
,
as
if
he
had
resolv'd
to
venture
the
fortune
of
the
Combat
all
upon
one
blow
.
On
the
other
side
,
the
Biscayner
,
guessing
his
design
by
his
dreadful
Countenance
,
guarded
himself
as
well
as
he
could
with
his
Cushion
,
and
breathing
no
less
fury
,
with
an
undaunted
bravery
resolv'd
to
abide
the
shock
of
his
merciless
Foe
,
who
with
his
Arm
aloft
came
poudring
on
like
a
falling
Meteor
from
the
Skie
.
And
all
the
while
the
Spectators
,
ready
to
bewray
their
Breeches
,
&
crumpl'd
up
with
panick
fear
,
attended
the
fatal
issue
of
the
Combat
;
while
the
Lady
and
her
waiting
Gentlewomen
put
up
their
Prayers
to
Heaven
for
the
Biscayner
,
and
vow'd
golden
Mountains
to
all
the
Saints
in
Spain
,
upon
condition
of
success
.
The
mischief
on
't
is
,
that
the
Author
of
this
History
gives
us
no
farther
account
of
this
Battel
,
but
leaves
it
undecided
,
pretending
that
he
finds
nothing
more
mention'd
concerning
it
in
the
Records
of
D.
Quixote's
Atchievements
.
However
,
the
next
Undertaker
of
this
work
,
could
not
believe
that
so
remarkable
a
story
could
be
swallow'd
up
in
the
Jaws
of
Oblivion
;
or
that
the
Wits
of
Mancha
could
be
such
Sots
,
as
not
to
preserve
in
their
Publick
Registers
,
or
Private
Scrutoirs
some
odd
Papers
to
eternize
the
Ornament
of
their
Village
;
and
therefore
he
made
a
diligent
enquiry
,
and
after
long
search
found
what
he
sought
,
by
an
Accident
that
shall
be
related
in
the
next
Book

CHAP.
I.
Giving
an
Account
of
Don
Quixote's
unfortunate
Rencounter
with
certain
Yanguesian
Carriers
THE
Renowned
Cid
Hamet
Venengeli
,
upon
whose
Authority
depends
the
Truth
of
our
History
,
relates
,
That
so
soon
as
Don
Quixote
had
taken
leave
of
the
Shepherds
,
that
had
so
kindly
entertain'd
him
,
and
of
the
rest
that
he
met
at
Chrysostom's
Burial
,
made
directly
,
both
himself
and
his
Squire
,
to
the
Wood
,
where
he
saw
Marcella
disappear
;
for
the
Champion
was
in
Love
;
he
had
forgot
his
dear
Dulcinea
;
and
the
Temptations
of
frail
Mortality
had
almost
thrown
him
out
of
the
Saddle
of
his
Constancy
.
But
after
he
had
sought
her
in
vain
for
above
two
Hours
together
,
the
Heat
of
his
Impatience
cooling
his
Concupiscence
,
they
came
to
a
most
delightful
Meadow
,
fresh
and
green
,
as
being
water'd
with
a
clear
and
pleasant
Stream
.
So
that
the
murmuring
Noise
of
the
Rivulet
,
the
Verdure
and
Beauty
of
the
Place
,
inviting
Don
Quixote
to
Repose
and
Meditation
,
during
the
heat
of
the
Day
,
they
both
alighted
,
and
leaving
Rosinante
and
the
Ass
to
take
their
full
swinge
,
where
they
paid
nothing
for
their
Ordinary
,
unty'd
the
Wallet
,
and
what
they
found
they
fed
upon
lovingly
both
together
,
for
fear
the
one
should
beguile
the
other
.
All
this
while
Sancho
had
forgot
to
put
on
Rosinante's
Fetters
,
believing
him
to
have
been
a
Horse
of
that
Modesty
and
Chastity
,
that
all
the
Mares
in
the
Pasture-grounds
of
Hackney-marsh
could
not
have
rais'd
him
to
think
an
ill
Thought
.
But
either
ill
Luck
,
or
the
Devil
who
never
sleeps
,
so
order'd
it
,
That
at
the
same
time
a
great
number
of
Galician
Mares
,
that
belong'd
to
several
Yanguesian
Carriers
,
were
feeding
in
the
same
Valley
;
it
being
the
Custom
of
those
Carriers
to
stop
where
they
meet
with
Grass
and
Water
to
refresh
their
Cattel
.
Rosinante
was
chast
and
Modest
,
as
I
said
before
,
however
he
was
Flesh
and
Blood
;
so
that
he
no
sooner
smelt
the
Mares
,
but
contrary
to
his
natural
Gravity
and
Reserv'dness
,
he
felt
an
itching
Desire
to
solace
himself
with
a
Galician
Phillie
;
and
therefore
,
without
asking
his
Master's
leave
,
away
he
trots
,
but
very
gently
,
to
impart
his
Necessities
to
his
new
Kindred
.
But
the
hungry
Spittles
having
more
mind
to
their
Food
,
then
to
Chamb'ring
and
Wantonness
,
receiv'd
his
Courtship
very
rudely
,
or
rather
kept
him
off
as
one
that
would
have
ravish'd
Mares
of
Honour
in
the
op'n
Field
,
drubbing
him
so
severely
with
their
Heels
,
that
they
caus'd
him
to
break
his
Girts
;
so
that
naked
Rosinante
,
now
disrob'd
of
all
his
Furniture
,
lay
expos'd
to
unmerciful
Thumps
on
every
side
.
And
for
an
Addition
to
his
Misery
,
the
Carriers
beholding
Rosinante's
Horse-play
among
their
Mares
,
flew
to
the
Relief
of
their
four-footed
Lucretia's
,
and
with
unmerciful
Battoons
so
be-labour'd
Bob-tail
Tarquin's
Chine
,
that
for
the
Ease
of
his
Back
,
now
render'd
unserviceable
,
he
was
forc'd
to
stretch
himself
forth
upon
the
Ground
,
where
he
had
leisure
enough
to
reflect
upon
the
Misfortunes
of
Whoring
,
e're
he
could
rise
again
.
Don
Quixote
perceiving
at
a
distance
the
ill
Usage
of
Rosinante
,
ran
in
all
haste
to
his
Rescue
,
and
approaching
half
breathless
to
the
Place
:
Friend
Sancho
,
cry'd
Don
Quixote
,
as
far
as
I
can
guess
,
these
are
no
Knights
,
but
paltry
,
mean
Fellows
,
and
therefore
it
is
lawful
for
thee
to
assist
me
to
revenge
the
Injury
they
have
done
me
in
abusing
my
Horse
.
What
a
Devil
,
d'
ye
talk
of
Revenge
,
quo
Sancho
?
We
are
like
to
revenge
our selves
,
with
a
Pox
,
two
against
twenty
;
if
,
indeed
,
we
may
reck'n
our selves
above
one
and
a
half
.
I
'le
deal
with
a
hundred
my self
,
quo
Don
Quixote
;
and
without
saying
more
,
he
flew
with
a
surprizing
Fury
upon
the
Carriers
;
at
what
time
Sancho
encourag'd
by
his
Master's
Example
,
threw
himself
also
into
the
thickest
of
his
Enemies
,
with
his
Sword
in
his
Hand
.
The
first
that
Don
Quixote
met
with
,
he
cut
through
a
thick
leathern
Doublet
,
and
carry'd
away
a
piece
of
his
Shoulder
,
and
was
going
to
reck
his
Indignation
upon
the
rest
:
when
the
Carriers
,
out
of
meer
Shame
to
have
their
Hides
so
curry'd
by
two
to
a
Score
,
recover'd
Heart
a-Grace
,
and
betook
themselves
to
their
Leavers
and
Pike-staves
,
and
then
all
at
once
surrounding
the
Knight
and
his
Squire
,
they
laid
about
him
like
Anchor-Smiths
;
and
,
as
many
Hands
make
quick
Work
,
in
a
Trice
there
lay
Sancho
sprawling
in
one
place
,
in
another
lay
Don
Quixote
himself
at
the
Feet
of
Rosinante
.
Neither
his
Courage
,
nor
his
Skill
would
avail
against
a
Multitude
.
For
if
Hercules
himself
could
not
resist
Two
,
how
should
our
Champion
withstand
Twenty
?
So
that
the
Carriers
having
got
a
complete
Victory
,
or
rather
,
fearing
they
had
done
more
then
they
could
answer
,
made
all
the
haste
they
could
to
be
gone
,
and
were
glad
when
they
were
got
out
of
Harm's
way
.
The
first
that
recover'd
himself
,
after
this
dismal
Tempest
of
Bastinado's
,
was
Sancho
Pancha
,
who
rolling
himself
as
near
as
he
could
to
Don
Quixote
,
Ah
Master
,
Master
!
with
a
sad
and
languishing
Voice
,
Master
,
dear
Master
!
quo
he
;
What
dost
want
,
Friend
Sancho
,
reply'd
the
Knight
,
in
the
same
effeminate
and
mournful
Tone
?
I
could
wish
,
reply'd
Sancho
,
that
your
Worship
would
give
me
some
two
or
three
good
Draughts
of
your
Balsom
of
Invulnerable
,
if
you
have
any
to
spare
.
For
if
it
be
good
for
Cuts
i'
the
Flesh
,
I
know
not
why
it
may
not
be
as
soverain
for
inward
Bruises
.
Dear
Sancho
,
reply'd
Don
Quixote
,
I
have
not
a
Drop
were
it
to
save
thy
life
,
so
precious
to
me
;
but
by
the
Faith
of
a
Knight-Errant
,
within
these
two
Days
I
will
make
enough
to
save
an
Army
,
if
no
farther
Disasters
do
not
prevent
me
.
Two
Days
!
reply'd
Sancho
,
we
may
be
both
rotten
before
that
time
;
I
do'nt
expect
to
stir
a
Leg
or
an
Arm
this
Fortnight
.
The
Truth
on
't
is
,
reply'd
the
pounded
Knight
,
I
know
not
what
to
think
on
't
,
as
the
Case
stands
;
but
't
is
no
more
then
I
deserve
,
and
I
may
thank
my self
for
having
unsheath'd
my
Sword
against
a
Company
of
Scoundrels
that
were
never
dubb'd
Knights
;
therefore
has
the
God
of
Battel
permitted
this
Punishment
to
befall
me
for
transgressing
the
Laws
of
Chivalry
.
So
then
,
Sancho
,
for
the
Future
,
upon
the
like
Occasions
,
do
thou
draw
thy
Sword
,
and
chastize
such
Riff-raff
as
this
,
thy self
,
after
thy
own
Method
;
but
if
any
true
Knights
come
to
take
their
parts
,
then
thou
shalt
see
how
I
will
lay
about
me
in
thy
Defence
;
and
thou
hast
had
sufficient
Experience
of
my
Courage
,
and
the
Strength
of
this
invincible
Arm
;
for
the
simple
Knight
was
still
intoxicated
with
his
Victory
over
the
poor
Biscayner
.
But
Sancho
,
by
no
means
pleas'd
with
his
Admonitions
,
Sir
Knight
,
said
he
,
I
am
a
Man
of
Peace
,
a
Coward
,
God
knows
,
and
one
that
never
car'd
for
so
many
Quarrels
i'
my
Life
,
as
having
a
poor
Wife
to
maintain
,
and
Children
to
bring
up
;
and
therefore
by
way
of
Advice
,
I
must
tell
your
Worship
(
for
I
dare
not
presume
to
command
your
Worship
)
that
from
henceforth
I
will
never
draw
my
Sword
against
Knight
or
Peasant
;
for
I
forgive
all
Mankind
,
as
my
Prayers
instruct
me
,
of
what
Estate
or
Condition
soever
,
High
and
Low
,
Rich
and
Poor
,
Lord
and
Beggar
,
all
the
Injuries
they
ever
did
,
or
ever
shall
do
me
,
without
Exception
or
mental
Reservation
.
Which
strange
Resolution
being
heard
by
his
Master
,
I
wish
,
said
he
,
I
had
Breath
enough
to
answer
thee
;
for
if
the
Pain
which
I
feel
in
one
of
my
short
Ribbs
,
would
give
me
leave
to
speak
,
I
would
soon
convince
thee
of
thy
Error
;
for
thou
talk'st
no
more
Sense
then
a
Jack-Daw
.
For
,
suppose
now
,
silly
Sinner
as
thou
art
,
that
Fortune
,
which
has
hitherto
frown'd
upon
us
,
should
fo
far
favour
us
at
length
,
as
that
I
should
conquer
one
of
those
Islands
which
I
have
promis'd
thee
,
and
were
ready
to
make
thee
Governour
of
it
;
what
will
become
of
thee
after
thou
hast
abjur'd
all
Knight-hood
,
all
Thoughts
of
Honour
,
and
all
Intention
to
revenge
Injuries
,
and
defend
thy
own
Dominion
?
For
perhaps
thy
People
will
not
be
so
willing
to
obey
thee
at
first
,
as
being
impatient
of
foreign
Subjection
;
but
when
the
Island
is
once
thy
own
,
he
's
a
Fool
that
will
not
hold
his
own
;
which
thou
canst
never
do
without
Discretion
and
Valour
;
which
two
Vertues
,
when
thy
Subjects
behold
brightly
shining
in
thee
their
Prince
,
they
will
be
afraid
of
rebelling
and
caballing
against
thee
.
I
confess
,
Sir
,
I
wish
I
had
had
this
Discretion
and
Valour
you
talk
of
,
reply'd
Sancho
,
to
have
helpt
us
in
our
last
Encounter
;
but
now
,
Sir
,
I
must
be
free
to
tell
ye
,
I
have
more
need
of
a
Surgeon
,
then
a
Preacher
;
and
of
Plaisters
,
then
Remonstrances
.
In
the
mean
time
,
Sir
,
see
if
you
can
rise
to
help
me
get
up
Rosinante
,
tho
he
little
deserves
it
;
for
't
was
his
confounded
Lechery
for
which
our
Bones
have
suffer'd
all
this
dismal
Maceration
.
For
my
part
,
I
never
suspected
such
a
Propensity
in
Rosinante
;
for
I
always
took
him
for
a
sober
and
peaceable
Horse
,
and
durst
have
sworn
for
him
,
as
well
as
for
my self
.
Now
who
is
there
that
a
Man
can
trust
?
't
is
true
as
the
Proverb
saies
,
A
Man
must
eat
a
Peck
of
Salt
with
his
Friend
,
before
he
knows
him
.
For
who
that
saw
the
Wonders
which
you
wrought
the
other
Day
against
the
Biscayner
,
would
have
thought
that
such
a
Tempest
of
Bastinado's
could
e're
have
showr'd
upon
our
Bones
?
As
for
thy
Shoulders
,
reply'd
Don
Quixote
,
they
were
made
to
endure
such
sorts
of
Tempests
;
but
mine
,
that
never
were
accustom'd
to
bear
a
heavier
Weight
,
then
a
Holland-Shirt
,
or
a
Tiffany-Ruff
,
I
fear
me
,
they
will
be
longer
sensible
of
this
Misfortune
.
And
were
it
not
,
but
that
I
believe
;
believe
,
do
I
say
!
nay
,
were
I
not
certain
,
that
such
Misfortunes
as
these
,
are
,
as
it
were
,
grappl'd
to
Knight-Errantry
,
I
would
never
out-live
this
Disgrace
,
but
cut
my
Throat
for
Madness
upon
this
very
Spot
.
But
I
beseech
ye
,
Sir
,
cry'd
Sancho
,
if
these
are
the
Blessings
of
a
Knight-Errant
,
will
they
never
have
an
End
?
Or
,
is
there
a
prefix'd
time
when
they
will
cease
?
For
if
we
meet
with
two
such
Harvests
more
,
we
shall
never
be
able
to
reap
the
third
,
unless
Miracles
assist
us
.
The
Life
of
Knight-Errants
,
reply'd
Don
Quixote
,
is
subject
to
a
Thousand
Inconstancies
of
Fortune
;
and
sometimes
they
have
good
,
sometimes
bad
Luck
.
Amadis
de
Gaul
was
bound
to
a
Pillar
by
the
Negromancer
Arcalaus
,
his
mortal
Enemy
,
and
by
him
surcingl'd
with
the
Girths
of
his
own
Saddle
;
and
that
so
rudely
,
that
the
Sorcerer
never
left
off
,
till
he
had
given
the
miserable
Knight
a
hundred
cutting
Strappado's
at
the
same
time
.
The
Knight
of
the
Sun
being
tak'n
in
a
Trap
in
a
certain
Castle
,
was
presently
forcibly
hurry'd
naked
into
a
deep
Dungeon
,
where
they
gave
him
a
Glyster
of
Snow-water
and
Sand
,
which
had
like
to
have
kill'd
him
,
but
for
a
special
Friend
of
his
,
a
Negromancer
,
that
both
rescu'd
and
cur'd
him
.
And
thus
,
Sancho
,
thou
seest
that
Persons
more
famous
then
we
,
have
suffer'd
greater
Affronts
then
we
have
done
.
Besides
,
Sancho
,
thou
art
to
know
,
That
those
Wounds
which
are
giv'n
by
the
Weapons
which
a
Man
has
by
accident
in
his
Hand
,
are
neither
Affronts
nor
Disgraces
.
For
thus
you
may
read
expressly
in
the
Laws
of
Duels
;
That
if
a
Shoe-maker
strike
another
Man
with
the
Last
which
he
held
in
his
Hand
,
tho
it
be
of
Wood
like
a
Cudgel
,
yet
the
Shoe-maker
shall
not
for
that
be
said
to
have
cudgell'd
the
Man
.
I
tell
thee
this
,
to
shew
thee
,
that
tho
we
were
so
bum-basted
and
bang'd
as
we
were
,
yet
that
it
was
no
Affront
or
Dishonour
to
us
;
for
that
the
Weapons
which
they
made
use
of
,
were
no
true
Cudgels
,
but
Pack-staves
,
such
as
Carriers
never
go
without
;
nor
do
I
remember
that
there
was
so
much
as
a
Tuck
,
or
a
Sword
,
or
a
Dagger
,
among
the
whole
Company
.
I
confess
,
said
Sancho
,
they
did
not
give
me
so
much
leisure
to
take
Cognizance
of
the
particular
Shape
and
Name
of
their
Weapons
;
but
no
sooner
had
I
drawn
my
trusty
Steel
,
but
they
blest
my
Shoulders
with
such
a
wooden
Benediction
,
that
I
lost
both
my
Eyes
and
my
Feet
at
the
same
time
,
and
fell
,
without
Sense
or
Motion
,
very
near
the
place
where
you
see
me
now
.
Nor
do
I
perplex
my
Brains
,
whether
it
were
an
Affront
to
be
cudgell'd
with
an
Oak'n
Plant
,
or
a
Pack-staff
;
but
let
'em
be
Pack-staves
,
or
Cudgels
,
I
am
sorry
to
feel
'em
so
heavy
upon
my
Bones
:
I
am
sure
I
shall
never
forget
'em
as
long
as
I
live
.
However
,
Pansa
,
reply'd
Don
Quixote
,
there
is
no
Resentment
which
time
will
not
deface
,
nor
no
Pain
that
Death
will
not
put
an
End
to
.
Thank
ye
for
nothing
,
quo
Sancho
,
this
is
heav'nly
Comfort
indeed
:
What
can
worse
befall
us
?
Were
it
such
a
Pain
as
a
Plaister
or
two
would
cure
,
a
man
might
have
some
Patience
,
but
for
ought
I
see
,
all
the
Plaister-boxes
and
Ointments
of
an
Hospital
w'ont
suffice
us
.
Twittle-twattle
,
cry'd
Don
Quixote
,
what
a
Prating
dost
thou
keep
?
Prethee
try
if
thou
canst
get
up
,
and
see
how
Rosinante
does
;
poor
Beast
,
he
has
had
his
share
of
this
Adventure
.
No
wonder
at
that
,
reply'd
Sancho
,
seeing
that
he
's
a
Knight-Errant
as
well
as
the
rest
;
I
rather
wonder
how
my
Ass
has
scap'd
so
well
,
without
the
loss
of
one
Hair
.
In
our
greatest
Calamities
,
reply'd
Don
Quixote
,
Fortune
always
leaves
us
some
Hole
to
creep
out
at
;
and
thus
it
happ'ns
,
that
this
poor
Beast
at
this
time
supplies
the
Want
of
Resinante
,
to
carry
me
to
some
Castle
where
I
may
be
cur'd
.
Nor
am
I
asham'd
to
ride
upon
an
Ass
;
for
I
remember
,
that
Silenus
the
Father
of
Bacchus
rode
upon
an
Ass
,
when
he
enter'd
Memphis
in
Triumph
.
Ay
,
quo
Sancho
,
t'
would
do
well
enough
,
could
you
sit
upright
upon
your
Ass
,
as
he
did
;
but
alas
!
you
must
be
laid
cross
the
Pannel
,
like
a
Sack
of
Wheat
.
Wounds
receiv'd
in
Combat
are
no
Dishonour
,
and
therefore
good
Sancho
,
trouble
me
with
no
more
Replies
,
but
try
to
get
upon
thy
Legs
,
and
help
me
up
upon
thy
Ass
,
that
we
may
get
out
of
this
place
before
Night
surprize
us
.
Lord
,
Sir
!
quo
Sancho
,
have
I
not
heard
you
say
,
't
was
the
most
Knight
Errant-like
Fashion
in
the
World
to
sleep
in
the
Fields
and
Forests
under
a
Canopy
of
green
Boughs
.
That
is
to
say
,
cry'd
Don
Quixote
,
when
they
can
do
no
better
;
or
else
,
when
they
are
in
Love
.
And
thus
Amadis
de
Gaul
took
up
his
Lodging
under
the
poor
Rock
,
all
the
while
he
went
under
the
Name
of
the
Lovely
Obscure
,
which
was
either
eight
Years
,
or
eight
Months
,
I
cannot
well
remember
which
;
and
all
this
for
only
some
little
Unkindness
that
Oriana
shew'd
him
.
But
setting
these
Discourses
aside
,
prethee
let
us
make
haste
out
of
this
unfortunate
place
,
lest
some
Mischief
befall
thy
Ass
,
as
it
has
done
Rosinante
.
That
would
be
the
Malice
of
the
Devil
indeed
,
reply'd
Sancho
:
and
so
breathing
out
Thirty
Lamentations
,
Sixty
Sighs
,
and
a
Hundred
and
Twenty
Plagues
and
Poxes
upon
those
that
betray'd
him
into
that
Condition
,
he
made
a
shift
to
get
up
upon
his
Legs
;
yet
not
so
,
but
that
he
went
stooping
all
the
way
with
his
Body
bent
like
a
Tartar's
Bow
,
not
being
able
to
stand
upright
.
In
which
crooked
Posture
he
crept
along
to
catch
his
Ass
,
that
having
tak'n
advantage
of
the
Liberty
which
had
been
giv'n
him
,
was
solacing
himself
in
fat
Pastures
,
free
Cost
,
at
a
distance
.
The
Ass
being
caught
,
and
got
ready
,
Sancho
return'd
to
help
up
Rosinante
,
which
was
not
done
without
great
Difficulty
and
Trouble
,
as
well
to
the
Master
as
the
Squire
.
Sancho
sweat
till
he
dropt
again
;
and
could
the
poor
Beast
but
ha'
spoke
,
he
wou'd
ha'
born
a
part
in
the
sad
Complaints
of
the
Master
and
the
Man
.
At
length
,
after
many
bitter
Oh's
!
and
screw'd
Faces
,
Sancho
laid
Don
Quixote
cross
the
Ass
,
ty'd
Rosinante
to
the
Ass's
Tail
,
and
then
leading
his
Ass
by
the
Halter
,
as
if
he
had
been
going
with
his
Grist
to
the
Mill
,
he
took
the
nearest
Way
that
he
could
guess
to
the
high
Road
.
Which
,
at
the
end
of
three
quarters
of
an
Hour
,
they
,
by
good
Fortune
,
discover'd
,
together
with
an
Inn
,
which
Don
Quixote
,
notwithstanding
the
lewd
Appearance
of
the
Place
,
would
needs
have
to
be
a
Castle
.
Sancho
swore
bloodily
't
was
an
Inn
;
and
the
Knight
as
obstinately
maintain'd
that
it
was
a
Castle
;
nor
did
the
Dispute
end
till
they
came
to
the
Inn
Door
,
where
Sancho
enter'd
with
his
Cargo
,
never
troubling
himself
whether
he
were
in
the
right
or
the
wrong
,
as
to
his
Argument
with
his
Master
.
CHAP
II
.
What
befel
Don
Quixote
in
the
Inn
,
which
he
took
for
a
Castle
.
THE
Inn
keeper
seeing
Don
Quixote
lying
like
an
Essex-Calf
quite
athwart
the
Pannel
,
ask'd
Sancho
,
What
was
his
Disease
?
To
which
Sancho
answer'd
,
He
had
no
Disease
at
all
;
but
only
that
he
had
fall'n
from
the
top
of
a
Rock
,
and
bruis'd
his
Ribs
a
little
.
The
Vintner
had
a
Wife
,
not
like
the
common
sort
of
Hostesses
,
as
being
naturally
very
charitable
,
and
very
compassionate
of
her
Neighbours
Afflictions
:
So
that
she
no
sooner
beheld
Don
Quixote
in
that
lamentable
Condition
,
but
she
resolv'd
to
set
her
helping
Hand
to
his
Cure
;
and
to
that
purpose
call'd
her
Daughter
,
a
good
pretty
Girl
,
to
assist
her
.
There
was
also
at
the
same
time
in
the
Inn
,
an
Asturian
Wench
,
broad-fac'd
,
flat-noddl'd
,
one
Eye
out
,
and
t'other
a-squint
.
However
,
the
Activity
of
her
Body
supply'd
all
Defects
.
For
she
was
not
above
three
Foot
high
,
the
weight
of
her
Shoulders
preventing
her
Growth
.
This
gentile
Gypsie
likewise
assisted
the
Inn-keeper's
Wife
and
Daughter
to
dress
Don
Quixote's
Bruises
.
To
which
purpose
they
made
him
a
sorry
Bed
,
God
wot
,
in
an
old
musty
Cock
loft
;
at
another
Corner
of
which
,
was
also
lodg'd
a
Carrier
upon
a
Bed
,
which
,
tho
made
of
Hurdles
only
,
and
old
Horse-cloths
,
had
much
the
Advantage
however
of
Don
Quixote's
,
which
consisted
of
no
more
then
two
or
three
Planks
laid
upon
two
Tressels
,
one
higher
then
t'other
;
and
over
them
a
Flock-bed
,
more
like
a
Quilt
,
full
of
Knobs
and
Bunches
,
which
had
they
not
shewn
themselves
to
be
of
Wool
,
through
the
Holes
that
the
Rats
had
eat'n
,
might
well
have
been
tak'n
for
Stones
.
The
Sheets
also
were
of
Leather
,
made
of
the
Coverings
of
old
Targets
;
and
the
Coverlet
such
,
that
you
might
have
number'd
the
Threads
,
and
not
have
miss'd
one
in
the
Tale
.
In
this
same
cursed
Bed
Don
Quixote
was
laid
to
rest
his
Bones
,
where
the
Hostess
and
her
Daughter
hogg's
greas'd
and
plaister'd
him
from
Head
to
Foot
,
by
the
light
of
a
Candle
,
which
the
beautiful
Asturian
,
whose
Name
was
Maritornes
,
held
.
The
Hostess
seeing
him
so
batter'd
;
Truly
,
said
she
,
these
Bumps
in
this
Man's
Flesh
look
much
more
like
a
dry
Basting
,
then
a
Fall
.
No
,
I
'le
assure
ye
,
Mistress
,
reply'd
Sancho
,
't
was
no
dry
Basting
,
but
only
the
Rock
was
full
of
several
pointed
Stones
,
and
craggy
Stumps
,
which
did
Mischief
every
one
i'
their
turns
.
By
the
way
,
Mistress
,
if
you
please
,
pray
save
a
little
of
the
Tow
and
the
Ointment
for
me
too
;
for
I
know
not
what
's
the
matter
,
but
I
feel
my
Back-bone
in
a
dismal
Disorder
.
Why
,
didst
thou
fall
too
,
reply'd
the
Hostess
?
I
did
not
fall
,
answer'd
Sancho
;
but
the
very
Fright
that
I
took
to
see
my
Master
cap'ring
the
Gallop-Galliard
down
the
Rock
,
has
loosen'd
my
Bones
in
such
a
manner
,
as
if
I
had
undergon
a
Mahometan
Drubbing
.
That
's
no
wonder
,
said
the
Inn-keeper's
Daughter
;
for
I
have
dream'd
many
times
,
that
I
have
been
falling
from
a
steep
Rock
,
and
when
I
wak'd
,
my
Bones
have
been
as
sore
,
as
if
I
had
fall'n
in
earnest
.
't
is
my
very
Case
,
reply'd
Sancho
,
only
with
this
Difference
,
that
I
was
not
in
a
Dream
,
but
as
broad
awake
as
I
am
at
this
Instant
.
Then
Maritornes
ask'd
him
his
Master's
Name
:
Don
Quixote
de
la
Mancha
,
reply'd
Sancho
,
by
Profession
,
a
Knight-Errant
,
and
one
of
the
bravest
and
stoutest
that
ever
the
Sun
shin'd
on
.
A
Knight-Errant
!
What
's
that
,
for
the
Lord's
sake
,
cry'd
the
Asturian
?
Art
thou
such
a
Novice
i'
the
World
,
reply'd
Sancho
?
Why
,
a
Knight-Errant
is
one
that
's
every
Minute
as
near
to
an
Empire
,
as
Four-pence
to
a
Groat
,
one
that
you
shall
see
well
cudgell'd
this
moment
,
the
next
a
Soldan
.
To
day
the
most
miserable
Creature
upon
Earth
,
to
morrow
the
Master
of
three
or
four
Kingdoms
to
bestow
upon
his
Squire
.
How
comes
it
then
to
pass
,
quo
the
Hostess
,
that
thou
,
being
Squire
to
so
great
a
Personage
,
art
not
an
Earl
at
least
?
Oh!
said
Sancho
,
the
Business
is
not
so
soon
accomplish'd
neither
.
We
ha'
been
but
two
Months
in
our
Gears
,
so
that
we
have
not
met
with
any
Adventures
as
yet
:
besides
that
,
many
times
we
seek
for
Kingdoms
and
find
a
Flap
with
a
Fox-tail
.
But
if
ever
my
Lord
Don
Quixote
gets
cur'd
of
his
Bruises
,
and
I
scape
knocking
o'
the
Head
,
I
will
not
exchange
my
Hopes
for
the
best
Conde-ship
in
Spain
.
Don
Quixote
having
listen'd
all
the
while
to
these
Discourses
with
great
Attention
,
could
no
longer
hold
;
and
therefore
raising
himself
up
in
his
Bed
,
and
taking
the
Hostess
in
a
most
obliging
manner
by
the
Hand
;
Believe
me
,
said
he
,
fair
Lady
,
't
is
not
a
Happiness
to
be
despis'd
,
that
you
have
here
the
Opportunity
to
entertain
such
a
Guest
as
I
am
,
in
your
Castle
.
I
shall
say
no
more
,
because
it
ill
becomes
a
Man
to
be
the
Praiser
of
himself
;
but
my
Squire
will
tell
you
who
I
am
.
Only
thus
much
let
me
say
more
,
That
I
shall
never
blot
out
of
my
Remembrance
the
Kindnesses
you
have
done
me
,
but
study
all
Occasions
to
testifie
my
Gratitude
.
And
I
wish
to
Heaven
,
added
he
,
casting
a
Sheep's-eye
upon
the
Hostess's
Daughter
,
That
the
God
of
Love
had
not
already
enslav'd
me
to
his
Laws
,
and
that
the
Eyes
of
that
charming
,
tho
disdainful
She
,
that
possesses
all
my
Thoughts
,
had
not
already
triumph'd
o're
my
Liberty
,
which
otherwise
I
would
have
sacrific'd
at
the
Feet
of
that
Illustrious
Damsel
.
The
Hostess
,
her
Daughter
,
and
the
vertuous
Maritornes
,
were
ashonish'd
to
hear
such
high-flown
Language
as
this
,
which
they
understood
no
more
then
if
he
had
spok'n
Arabick
;
yet
conceiving
they
were
Words
of
Courtship
and
Complement
,
they
look'd
upon
him
,
and
admir'd
him
,
as
a
Man
of
another
World
;
and
after
they
had
made
him
such
Returns
as
Inn
keepers
Breeding
would
afford
,
they
left
him
to
his
Rest
.
Only
Maritornes
stay'd
to
rub
down
Sancho
,
who
had
no
less
need
of
a
good
Dressing
and
a
warm
Mesh
,
then
Rosinante
.
Now
you
must
know
,
that
the
Carrier
and
the
Asturian
had
agreed
to
have
a
Love-skirmish
together
that
Night
,
and
she
had
pawn'd
him
her
Honour
,
that
as
soon
as
her
Master
and
Mistress
were
a
bed
,
she
would
not
fail
to
come
to
him
,
and
be
at
his
Service
.
And
it
is
reported
of
that
modest
Damsel
,
That
whenever
she
had
pass'd
her
Word
in
such
Cases
,
she
would
have
observ'd
her
Promise
no
less
punctually
,
then
if
she
had
confirm'd
it
by
the
Attestation
of
a
Publick
Notary
;
nay
,
tho
she
had
made
it
in
the
midst
of
a
Wood
without
any
Witness
at
all
.
And
here
,
for
your
better
understanding
,
you
must
know
,
that
the
wretched
,
unfortunate
,
beggarly
,
scanty
Bed
whereon
Don
Quixote
lay
,
was
the
first
in
that
needy
Appartment
.
Next
to
that
Sancho
had
made
up
his
Kennel
,
containing
a
Mat
of
Bulrushes
,
with
a
piece
of
an
old
Sprit-sail
for
a
Coverlet
;
and
at
a
little
distance
lay
the
Carrier
in
his
Furniture
,
such
as
has
been
already
describ'd
:
Thither
the
Carrier
after
he
had
fed
his
Cattel
,
repair'd
,
in
Expectation
of
the
punctual
Maritornes
.
In
the
mean
time
Sancho
did
all
he
could
to
sleep
,
while
his
macerated
Ribs
did
all
they
could
to
prevent
him
;
and
Don
Quixote
lay
ruminating
on
his
Mistress
with
his
Eyes
op'n
,
like
a
Hare
.
And
now
was
every
Soul
in
the
Inn
gone
to
bed
,
not
so
much
as
a
Mouse
stirring
in
the
House
,
nor
any
Candle
to
be
seen
.
Which
general
Silence
,
and
silent
Darkness
,
the
Friend
of
Meditation
,
setting
Don
Quixote's
Thoughts
at
work
,
recall'd
to
his
Remembrance
one
of
the
most
ridiculous
Follies
that
he
had
read
in
all
the
Romantick
Authors
of
his
Ruine
.
For
he
fancy'd
himself
to
be
in
a
famous
Castle
,
and
that
the
Inn-keeper's
Daughter
,
by
Consequence
,
Daughter
to
the
Lord
of
the
Castle
,
inamour'd
of
his
goodly
Presence
and
Deportment
,
had
promis'd
him
the
Pleasure
of
her
Embraces
,
so
soon
as
her
Father
and
Mother
were
gone
to
rest
.
This
Chimera
disturb'd
him
,
as
if
it
had
been
a
real
Truth
;
so
that
he
was
strangely
disturb'd
to
find
his
Loyalty
expos'd
to
the
Hazard
of
such
a
Temptation
.
But
at
length
he
resolv'd
an
immoveable
Constancy
to
his
dear
Dulcinea
,
tho
Queen
Guinever
,
and
the
Lady
Quintaniona
,
should
sollicit
him
themselves
.
In
the
midst
of
these
wild
Imaginations
,
the
exact
Asturian
,
bare-foot
,
and
in
her
Smock
,
steals
into
the
Chamber
,
and
feels
about
for
the
Carrier's
Bed
.
On
the
other
side
Don
Quixote
,
whose
Ears
lay
perdue
,
perceiving
something
to
enter
the
Chamber
,
rais'd
himself
in
his
Bed
,
notwithstanding
his
Plaisters
,
and
the
soreness
of
his
Chine
,
and
stretching
out
his
Arm
to
receive
his
fancy'd
Damsel
,
caught
hold
of
Maritornes
Wrist
,
as
she
was
feeling
about
for
the
Wall
,
pull'd
her
to
him
,
not
daring
to
speak
a
Word
,
and
made
her
sit
down
by
his
Bed-side
.
Neither
could
her
Smock
that
was
made
of
Sacking
,
prevail
to
undeceive
the
besotted
Knight
.
Her
Glass-Beads
about
her
Wrist
,
he
took
for
Oriental
Pearl
;
her
Hair
as
course
as
a
Mare's
Tail
,
he
liken'd
to
the
Gold'n
Tresses
of
Juno
;
and
her
Breath
that
smelt
like
stale
Salt-fish
,
he
compar'd
to
the
Odors
of
Arabia
.
In
short
,
he
fancy'd
this
beautiful
Nymph
to
be
like
those
lovely
Dames
,
which
,
as
he
had
read
in
his
Histories
,
were
wont
to
visit
incognito
their
inamour'd
Champions
,
when
either
sick
or
wounded
.
For
the
poor
Gentleman
was
so
obstinately
infatuated
with
his
Romantick
Gim-cracks
,
that
he
was
not
sensible
of
the
nasty
Stinks
of
a
filthy
,
dirty
Puss
,
that
would
have
made
any
but
a
Carrier
,
to
have
spew'd
up
his
Entrails
.
So
that
at
length
the
courtly
Champion
,
enamour'd
of
so
many
nauseous
Charms
,
and
hugging
his
incomparable
Maritornes
,
as
the
Devil
hug'd
the
Witch
;
What
would
I
give
,
quo
he
,
with
a
soft
and
amorous
Whisper
,
What
would
I
give
,
most
lovely
Lady
,
that
I
were
in
a
Condition
to
acknowledge
the
Favours
you
have
done
me
,
and
that
I
could
acquit
my self
of
those
Reproaches
of
lewd
Ingratitude
,
which
you
may
justly
throw
upon
me
?
It
kills
me
when
I
think
on
't
;
but
I
have
plighted
my
Faith
to
the
matchless
Dulcinea
del
Toboso
;
she
is
the
sole
Sovereigness
of
my
Heart
,
and
the
sole
Mistress
of
my
Thoughts
,
and
I
dare
not
purchase
my
Happiness
with
the
Price
of
Perjury
.
All
this
while
Maritornes
sweat
Assa
foetida
,
to
find
her self
lock'd
up
in
the
Knight's
Embraces
,
and
did
her
utmost
Endeavour
to
free
her self
from
her
irksom
Fetters
.
On
the
other
side
,
the
Carrier
,
whose
Impatience
prevented
him
from
sleeping
a
Wink
,
having
perceiv'd
his
Landacrides
,
when
she
first
enter'd
the
Room
,
and
with
a
listning
Ear
,
wond'ring
at
her
Stay
,
at
length
over-heard
a
kind
of
whispering
Noise
where
the
Champion
lay
,
and
then
suspecting
that
Maritornes
design'd
to
be
serv'd
round
,
his
Nose
began
to
swell
most
prodigiously
.
Nor
was
that
all
,
for
such
were
the
Transports
of
his
Jealousie
,
that
he
could
not
forbear
creeping
softly
to
Don
Quixote's
Bed
,
where
,
after
he
had
listn'd
a
while
,
like
a
Sow
i'
the
Beans
,
perceiving
by
the
struggling
of
his
Loyal
Maritornes
,
that
it
was
none
of
her
Fault
,
as
being
kept
in
Durance
by
the
salacious
Knight
,
whether
she
would
or
no
;
he
up
with
his
brawny
Arm
,
and
measuring
the
Countenance
of
the
disastrous
Knight
,
gave
him
such
a
mauling
Sisarara
upon
the
Chaps
,
that
the
Blood
ran
from
his
Mouth
like
a
little
Stream
;
and
Benengeli
assures
us
,
That
at
the
same
time
he
leap'd
upon
his
Body
,
and
with
his
splay
Feet
and
Sparables
so
be
trampl'd
him
,
as
if
he
had
been
treading
a
Hay-mow
.
So
that
the
Bed
,
the
Foundations
of
which
were
none
of
the
best
,
fell
down
to
the
Ground
,
with
such
a
rattling
Noise
,
that
the
Inn
keeper
wak'd
,
and
suspecting
it
to
be
one
of
Maritornes
whoring
Pranks
,
struck
a
Light
,
and
made
to
the
Place
where
he
heard
the
Combustion
.
The
Gypsie
Asturian
,
seeing
him
coming
in
Cholerick
haste
,
fled
for
shelter
into
Sancho's
Kennel
,
who
lay
snoring
like
a
Tapster
,
and
there
hid
her self
under
his
Coverlet
,
truss'd
up
as
round
as
an
Egg.
Presently
the
Master
entring
,
and
swearing
like
a
Tinker
,
Where
's
this
damn'd
Whore
,
cry'd
he
?
for
I'
m
sure
't
is
her
doing
.
At
the
same
time
Sancho
awaking
,
and
feeling
an
unusual
weight
that
almost
over-laid
him
,
which
he
believ'd
to
be
the
Night-Mare
,
laid
about
him
with
his
Fists
,
and
pummell'd
Maritornes
so
severely
,
that
at
last
having
lost
all
her
Patience
,
and
forgetting
the
Danger
she
was
in
,
she
return'd
him
his
Thumps
with
such
a
plentiful
Interest
,
that
Sancho's
Welch
Blood
being
mov'd
,
he
bussl'd
up
in
his
Bed
,
and
catching
hold
of
Maritornes
,
began
the
most
pleasant
Skirmish
in
the
World
:
For
the
Carrier
seeing
his
Mistress
so
abus'd
,
cuff'd
Sancho
;
Sancho
maul'd
the
Maid
;
the
Maid
be-labour'd
the
Squire
,
in
return
of
his
Kindnesses
;
and
the
Inn-keeper
paid
off
his
Servant
;
following
their
Blows
so
fast
,
as
if
they
had
been
afraid
of
losing
time
.
And
the
best
Jest
was
,
that
in
the
heat
of
this
Hurly-burly
,
the
Candle
went
out
;
so
that
now
being
all
i'
the
Dark
,
they
lay'd
on
at
a
Venture
,
without
any
Compassion
;
so
that
of
all
the
Combatants
,
not
one
that
was
there
carry'd
off
so
much
as
half
a
Shirt
or
a
Smock
;
for
Nails
and
Fists
were
all
employ'd
,
and
they
took
care
neither
to
tear
,
nor
strike
in
vain
.
There
was
at
the
same
time
a
Constable
lodg'd
in
the
Inn
,
who
being
wak'd
with
the
dismal
Confusion
,
in
a
great
Rage
came
poking
out
his
way
with
his
Staff
;
and
being
enter'd
the
Room
,
cry'd
out
,
I
charge
ye
i'
the
King's
Name
,
to
keep
the
Peace
here
,
vowing
else
to
send
'em
all
to
the
Counter
.
The
first
he
met
with
,
was
the
mortify'd
Knight
,
who
lay
upon
his
Back
,
stretch'd
out
at
his
full
length
,
without
any
feeling
,
upon
the
Ruines
of
his
Bed
.
Him
the
Constable
having
caught
i'
the
Dark
by
the
Beard
,
cry'd
out
,
Come
away
before
the
Justice
.
But
perceiving
no
sign
of
Life
,
and
therefore
believing
him
dead
,
and
murder'd
by
the
rest
in
the
the
Room
,
he
commanded
the
Gates
of
the
Inn
to
be
shut
;
Here
's
a
Man
murder'd
,
quo
he
,
and
therefore
let
no
body
make
their
Escape
.
Which
alarum'd
the
Combatants
in
such
a
manner
,
that
notwithstanding
their
good
Intentions
,
they
were
forc'd
to
leave
the
Argument
undecided
.
The
Inn-keeper
stole
away
into
his
Chamber
;
Maritornes
to
her
Straw
;
the
Carrier
slunk
under
his
Horse-cloaths
;
only
the
disconsolate
Don
Quixote
and
Sancho
remain'd
in
their
places
,
not
able
to
stir
a
Limb
;
while
the
Constable
let
go
the
Champion's
Beard
,
and
went
for
a
Candle
to
search
for
the
Rioters
.
But
the
Inn-keeper
having
prudently
put
out
the
Lamp
that
hung
over
the
Gate
,
the
Constable
was
above
an
Hour
puffing
among
the
Embers
i'
the
Kitchin-chimney
,
before
he
could
light

CHAP.
III
.
A
Continuation
of
the
innumerable
Hardships
,
that
Don
Quixote
and
his
Squire
sustain'd
in
the
Inn.
BY
this
time
Don
Quixote
being
recover'd
from
his
Paroxism
,
with
the
same
weak
and
languishing
Voice
,
as
after
he
had
been
Carrier-drubb'd
in
the
Meadow
,
call'd
out
,
Friend
Sancho
,
art
a
sleep
?
art
asleep
Friend
Sancho
?
How
the
Devil
should
I
sleep
,
reply'd
Sancho
,
foaming
with
Rage
and
Passion
,
when
all
the
Infernal
Furies
have
been
haunting
me
this
Night
?
Thou
hast
Reason
to
say
so
,
answer'd
Don
Quixote
,
for
either
I
know
nothing
,
or
this
Castle
is
enchanted
.
Hear
what
I
say
to
thee
,
but
first
swear
to
me
,
that
thou
wilt
not
speak
a
Word
of
it
,
till
after
my
Death
.
By
my
Wife
and
Children
that
now
are
a
starving
,
I
w'ont
,
quo
Sancho
.
I
desire
thee
to
swear
,
quo
Don
Quixote
,
because
I
scorn
to
injure
the
Reputation
of
any
Person
.
Why
,
I
have
sworn
,
and
I
do
swear
never
to
speak
a
Tittle
of
it
,
so
long
as
your
Worship
lives
;
and
I
wish
I
might
be
at
liberty
to
discover
it
to
morrow
.
Have
I
done
thee
so
much
Harm
,
answer'd
Don
Quixote
,
that
thou
wishest
my
Death
so
soon
?
't
is
not
for
that
,
reply'd
Sancho
,
but
because
I
hate
to
keep
a
Secret
so
long
,
for
fear
it
should
grow
mouldy
i'
my
Body
.
Think
what
thou
wilt
,
answer'd
Don
Quixote
,
however
I
confide
in
thy
Prudence
and
Affection
.
Know
then
,
that
above
two
Hours
since
,
the
Daughter
of
the
Lord
of
this
Castle
,
vouchsaf'd
to
come
to
my
Bed-side
;
one
of
the
most
lovely
and
beautiful
Ladies
that
were
ever
beheld
i'
the
World
.
I
cannot
express
the
Charms
of
her
Person
,
nor
the
Vivacity
of
her
Wit
;
nor
will
I
think
more
of
'em
,
that
I
may
not
revolt
from
my
Allegiance
to
the
fair
Dulcinea
of
Toboso
.
I
will
only
say
this
,
That
the
Heav'ns
envying
the
Happiness
,
which
my
fortunate
Stars
had
thrown
into
my
Lap
;
or
rather
,
because
this
Castle
is
enchanted
,
it
happen'd
,
That
in
the
midst
of
the
most
tender
,
affectionate
,
and
passionate
Discourses
that
pass'd
between
us
,
a
certain
Hand
that
I
could
not
see
,
or
devise
from
whence
it
came
,
at
the
end
of
a
most
enormous
Giant's
Arm
,
gave
me
such
a
down-right
Blow
upon
the
Jaws
,
that
my
Chaps
gush'd
out
a
Bleeding
like
a
Spout
:
After
which
,
the
Traytor
taking
Advantage
of
my
Feebleness
,
laid
on
so
like
a
Thresher
,
that
I
feel
my self
worse
now
,
then
when
we
suffer'd
for
Rosinante's
Incontinency
.
And
therefore
I
believe
some
damn'd
Negromancer
of
a
Moor
defends
this
Treasure
,
allotted
for
some
other
,
and
not
for
me
.
Nor
for
me
neither
,
quo
Don
Sancho
,
interrupting
him
,
for
above
four
hundred
Moors
have
been
exercising
their
Talents
upon
my
Bones
,
that
I
may
safely
say
,
the
Carriers
Bastinado's
were
but
Flea-bites
and
Ticklings
of
the
Skin
to
this
.
But
pray
Sir
,
tell
me
,
d'
ye
call
this
such
a
pleasing
Adventure
,
for
which
you
pay'd
above
fourteen
i'
the
hundred
in
dry
Blows
?
Tho
indeed
the
Possession
of
such
a
rare
Beauty
all
the
while
,
might
be
a
kind
of
Consolation
to
you
;
But
for
my
part
,
that
had
no
such
Creature-Comfort
,
how
d'
ye
think
I
was
able
to
bear
so
many
Wherrets
and
Thumps
,
and
Buffetings
,
as
fell
to
my
share
?
Curse
upon
me
,
and
my
Mother
that
bore
me
;
for
I
am
no
Knight-Errant
,
nor
ever
intend
to
be
,
and
yet
the
Elder
Brother's
Portion
of
Plagues
and
Mischiefs
falls
still
to
my
Lot
.
How
!
and
hast
thou
been
under
the
Paper-mills
too
,
cry'd
Don
Quixote
?
Belly
o'
me
,
quo
Sancho
,
What
have
I
been
telling
ye
all
this
while
?
Never
let
it
trouble
thee
,
quo
Don
Quixote
,
for
I
'le
instantly
go
and
make
the
Balsom
of
Invulnerable
,
which
will
cure
thee
i'
the
Twinkling
of
an
Eye
.
By
this
time
the
Constable
having
lighted
his
Candle
,
was
coming
to
see
who
it
was
that
was
murder'd
.
At
what
time
Sancho
spying
him
at
a
Distance
in
his
Shirt
with
his
Candle
in
his
Hand
,
and
a
nasty
Clout
about
his
Head
;
Sir
,
quo
he
to
his
Master
,
I
am
afraid
the
enchanted
Moor
is
coming
again
to
see
if
there
be
any
part
of
our
Skins
that
remains
unbruised
,
for
another
Exercise
of
his
Arm.
It
cannot
be
the
Moor
,
reply'd
Don
Quixote
,
for
Negromancers
never
suffer
themselves
to
be
seen
.
I
know
not
whether
they
may
be
seen
,
or
no
,
quo
Sancho
,
but
I'
m
sure
they
may
be
felt
:
and
tho
you
tell
me
a
thousand
times
the
contrary
,
I
'le
believe
my
Shoulders
before
my
Eyes
in
this
particular
.
That
my
Shoulders
can
testifie
as
well
as
thine
,
answer'd
Don
Quixote
:
However
,
't
is
no
sign
that
thou
seest
the
inchanted
Moor
.
While
they
were
thus
confabulating
,
the
Constable
enter'd
,
astonish'd
to
hear
men
talking
so
friendly
together
in
a
place
where
he
thought
Murder
had
been
committed
.
But
seeing
the
miserable
Posture
wherein
the
Champion
lay
,
stretch'd
out
like
a
Corps
,
and
bruis'd
into
Mummie
;
How
fares
it
,
honest
Fellow
,
quo
he
,
how
d'
ye
feel
your self
?
I
would
answer
ye
in
another
sort
of
Language
,
reply'd
Don
Quixote
,
were
I
in
your
Skin
.
Ye
Blockhead
you
,
is
that
your
rude
way
of
approaching
Knight-Errants
in
this
Country
?
Upon
which
,
the
Constable
,
of
a
waspish
and
cholerick
Temper
,
not
enduring
such
a
Reprimand
from
a
person
that
he
hardly
thought
to
be
his
Equal
,
threw
the
Candle-stick
,
Candle
and
all
,
as
hard
as
he
could
ding
it
,
at
the
Champion's
Head
;
and
believing
that
he
had
not
only
brok'n
the
Peace
,
but
the
Knight's
Scull
,
he
presently
stole
out
of
the
Room
,
under
the
Protection
of
the
Night
.
What
think
ye
now
,
quo
Sancho
?
d'
ye
think
this
was
not
the
inchanted
Moor
,
that
guards
the
Treasure
you
talk
of
,
for
others
,
but
reserves
nothing
for
us
,
beside
Kicks
and
Cuffs
,
and
Candle
stick
Batteries
?
Suppose
I
allow
thee
thy
Saying
for
once
,
reply'd
Don
Quixote
,
yet
considering
that
Negromancers
can
make
themselves
invisible
when
they
please
,
we
are
not
to
be
offended
with
Enchantments
,
since
it
is
impossible
we
should
revenge
our selves
upon
Persons
we
can
never
find
,
while
they
lie
sculking
in
the
Air
,
quite
out
of
our
Reach
.
And
therefore
,
Sancho
,
rise
,
if
thou
canst
,
and
desire
the
Governour
of
the
Castle
to
send
me
some
Oil
,
Salt
,
Wine
,
and
Rosemary
,
that
I
may
make
my
Balsom
,
which
,
in
truth
,
I
want
very
much
,
in
regard
of
the
great
Flux
of
Blood
,
that
I
have
lost
,
from
the
Wound
which
the
Apparition
gave
me
.
Thereupon
Sancho
got
up
,
variously
expressing
his
Grief
,
as
he
apparell'd
himself
;
sometimes
with
a
devout
Lord
ha'
mercy
upon
me
!
sometimes
with
a
prophane
and
full-mouth'd
Zouns
;
byand
by
Cursing
the
enchanted
Moor
,
and
his
Master
to
boot
:
and
at
length
creeping
along
like
an
Old
Alms-man
,
with
an
old
Pox
upon
him
,
he
went
to
seek
for
the
Inn-keeper
;
and
meeting
with
the
Constable
at
the
Inn-Gate
,
in
a
brown
Study
,
whether
he
should
go
or
tarry
,
considering
the
passionate
Fact
he
had
so
lately
committed
:
Sir
,
said
Sancho
,
pray
be
so
charitable
,
as
to
furnish
me
with
a
Measure
of
Oil
,
a
Quart
of
Wine
,
a
Handful
of
Salt
,
and
two
Handfuls
of
Rosemary
,
to
make
a
Med'cine
to
cure
one
of
the
most
renowned
Knight-Errants
that
ever
were
i'
the
World
,
who
lies
here
in
the
Inn
,
desperately
wounded
by
the
enchanted
Moor
.
The
Constable
,
tho
he
took
him
for
a
mad
Man
,
was
so
kind
however
,
as
to
call
for
the
Inn-keeper
,
who
furnish'd
him
with
all
his
Ingredients
in
a
short
time
.
All
which
Sancho
carry'd
forthwith
to
his
Master
,
whom
he
found
holding
his
Head
,
and
miserably
complaining
of
the
Hurt
he
had
receiv'd
by
the
Candlestick
,
tho
by
good
luck
it
had
done
him
no
more
harm
,
then
only
the
raising
of
two
Bunches
about
the
bigness
of
two
Turky
Eggs
;
for
that
which
he
fancy'd
to
be
Blood
,
was
only
the
Oil
of
the
Lamp
,
that
had
bedew'd
his
Hair
and
his
Beard
.
So
that
after
he
had
mixt
all
the
Ingredients
together
,
he
set
'em
o're
a
gentle
Fire
,
and
let
'em
simper
for
about
a
full
Hour
,
till
he
thought
they
were
enough
,
and
then
put
the
whole
into
a
Tin-pot
,
which
the
Inn-keeper
out
of
his
Liberality
freely
presented
him
.
Then
he
mutter'd
over
the
Pot
a
hundred
Ave
Maries
,
as
many
Pater
Nosters
,
Salve's
,
and
Creeds
,
and
ever
and
anon
making
the
Sign
of
the
Cross
,
by
way
of
Benediction
;
at
which
Ceremony
the
Inn-keeper
,
the
Constable
and
Sancho
,
were
present
.
When
the
Med'cine
was
cold
,
Don
Quixote
resolv'd
to
make
an
immediate
Tryal
of
it
;
and
to
that
purpose
,
gulp'd
down
the
Quantity
of
a
good
Beer
glass
brim-full
.
But
no
sooner
had
he
tak'n
his
Dose
,
but
he
fell
a
vomiting
,
as
if
he
would
ha'
spew'd
up
his
Lungs
;
and
his
violent
straining
put
him
into
such
a
Sweat
,
that
he
desir'd
to
be
cover'd
up
warm
,
and
left
to
his
Repose
.
In
which
Condition
he
slept
three
whole
Hours
,
and
then
waking
,
found
himself
in
an
excellent
Temper
,
and
so
well
at
ease
,
that
he
made
no
Question
,
but
he
had
found
out
the
true
Balsom
of
Invulnerable
;
and
that
having
such
a
Med'cine
,
he
might
undertake
all
the
most
perillous
Adventures
i'
the
World
,
without
Fear
or
Wit
.
Sancho
observing
such
a
strange
and
sudden
Operation
of
the
Balfom
,
besought
his
Master
,
that
he
might
drink
up
the
Remainder
in
the
Pot
;
to
which
,
when
Don
Quixote
had
consented
,
Pancha
quaff'd
off
the
rest
,
with
such
a
Gusto
,
as
if
it
had
been
a
Nuptial
Restorative
of
Tent
and
Eggs.
But
it
seems
that
Pancha's
Stomach
was
not
so
nice
as
his
Master's
;
for
before
he
could
vomit
,
he
was
afflicted
with
such
terrible
Reaching
,
such
faint
and
painful
Sweats
and
Swoonings
,
that
he
verily
thought
his
last
Hour
had
been
come
;
and
instead
of
repenting
for
his
Sins
,
fell
a
cursing
the
Balsom
,
and
the
Traitor
that
had
recommended
it
to
him
.
Friend
Sancho
,
cry'd
Don
Quixote
,
I
am
the
most
mistak'n
Man
i'
the
World
,
if
this
Misery
does
not
befall
thee
,
because
thou
art
no
Dubb'd
Knight
;
for
I
fear
me
,
this
Balsom
will
not
work
kindly
upon
any
but
such
as
they
are
.
The
Devil
take
you
and
all
your
Generation
,
quo
Sancho
,
why
did
ye
let
me
take
it
,
if
you
knew
that
before
?
Is
this
a
Time
to
tell
me
of
Dubb'd
Knights
,
when
my
Guts
are
ready
to
burst
?
But
at
length
,
Nature
being
kind
,
and
the
Physick
strong
and
searching
,
forc'd
its
way
upward
and
downward
,
insomuch
that
he
fell
a
Squitt'ring
and
Spewing
,
as
if
the
Devil
had
been
turn'd
Tom-turd-man
to
empty
the
Jakes
of
his
Carkass
;
and
all
the
while
he
strain'd
so
hard
before
and
behind
,
that
the
Standers
by
still
expected
when
his
Soul-Errant
would
take
a
Career
out
of
his
Body
;
till
at
last
,
after
the
end
of
two
Hours
,
that
this
Hurricane
in
his
Guts
lasted
,
instead
of
finding
himself
at
ease
,
as
his
Master
had
done
,
he
felt
himself
so
feeble
,
and
so
far
spent
,
that
he
was
hardly
able
to
breath
.
But
for
all
that
,
D.
Quixote
was
in
haste
,
he
felt
himself
as
sound
as
a
Roach
,
and
therefore
would
needs
be
jogging
after
new
Adventures
.
All
the
while
that
he
lay
idle
,
he
thought
himself
lost
to
the
World
;
and
all
those
that
needed
his
Favour
and
Assistance
,
defying
Wounds
and
Danger
now
,
in
Confidence
of
his
Balsom
.
In
the
midst
of
these
impatient
Thoughts
,
he
told
Sancho
he
must
be
gone
;
and
with
those
Resolutions
he
saddl'd
Rosinante
himself
,
putting
the
Pannel
upon
the
Ass
,
and
his
Squire
upon
the
Pannel
,
after
he
had
help'd
him
to
get
on
his
Clothes
:
Then
spying
a
strong
Javelin
that
hung
up
in
the
Hall
of
the
Inn
,
he
seiz'd
it
for
the
use
of
the
Lord
of
the
Mannor
,
to
serve
him
instead
of
a
Lance
;
and
so
mounting
his
Courser
,
in
the
sight
of
above
twenty
People
that
were
in
the
Inn
,
prepar'd
to
set
forward
.
Among
the
rest
of
the
Gazers
,
the
Inn-keeper's
Daughter
observ'd
him
with
a
more
curious
Eye
,
as
having
never
seen
such
a
sight
in
her
Life
before
:
Which
Don
Quixote
perceiving
,
and
making
a
more
favourable
Interpretation
of
her
Glances
,
beheld
her
with
no
less
Admiration
,
tho
of
another
sort
,
every
foot
fetching
a
deep
Sigh
from
the
very
Foundations
of
his
Heart
,
which
they
who
saw
him
so
mortify'd
the
Night
before
,
ascrib'd
to
the
Pain
of
his
Wounds
.
But
now
being
ready
to
depart
,
he
stopp'd
at
the
Inn-Door
,
and
call'd
for
the
Master
of
the
House
,
in
a
grave
and
majestick
Tone
;
Sir
Constable
,
said
he
,
I
should
be
the
most
ingrateful
Mongrel
in
the
World
,
should
I
forget
the
Kindnesses
I
have
receiv'd
in
your
Castle
.
However
,
in
return
of
your
Favours
,
if
there
be
a
Caitiff
under
the
Sun
,
on
whom
you
desire
to
be
reveng'd
for
any
Injuries
or
Contumelies
committed
,
know
,
it
is
my
Profession
to
relieve
the
Oppressed
,
and
punish
Traitors
.
Rub
up
your
Memory
therefore
,
and
if
you
can
call
any
such
to
mind
,
by
my
Holy
Order
of
Knighthood
,
I
'le
drag
'em
with
a
Horse-pox
to
your
Castle
,
to
make
you
Satisfaction
on
their
bended
Knees
.
To
which
the
Inn-keeper
answering
with
the
same
Gravity
,
Sir
Knight
,
said
he
,
I
have
no
need
of
your
Revenge
,
for
when
any
body
does
me
an
Injury
,
I
can
revenge
my self
.
All
the
Satisfaction
therefore
that
I
desire
,
is
,
That
you
would
pay
your
Reck'ning
for
Horse-meat
and
Man's-meat
:
For
that
is
the
Custom
in
all
Inns.
How
!
cry'd
Don
Quixote
,
is
this
an
Inn
?
Yes
,
and
one
of
the
best
upon
the
Road
too
,
quo
the
Master
.
Then
I
beg
your
Pardon
,
quo
Don
Quixote
,
for
I
took
it
for
a
Castle
,
and
that
none
of
the
meanest
neither
.
However
,
't
is
all
one
;
for
tho
it
be
an
Inn
,
you
must
excuse
me
,
Sir
,
from
paying
a
Farthing
;
't
is
contrary
to
the
Laws
of
Chivalry-Errant
,
which
I
am
bound
to
observe
,
there
being
no
Knight-Errant
that
ever
paid
in
an
Inn
,
that
ever
I
read
of
.
It
being
the
only
Recompence
that
Custom
has
allow'd
'em
for
their
incessant
Labour
and
Travel
Day
and
Night
,
Winter
and
Summer
,
for
the
General
good
of
Mankind
.
This
is
nothing
to
my
Business
,
pay
me
what
ye
owe
me
,
and
keep
your
Flim-flams
and
Stories
to
your self
;
I
must
not
give
away
my
Goods
.
Thou
art
both
a
Fool
and
a
Knave
of
an
Inn-keeper
,
reply'd
Don
Quixote
,
and
so
couching
his
Javelin
,
and
putting
Spurs
to
his
Horse
,
he
rode
out
of
the
Inn
before
any
body
could
stop
him
,
never
minding
whether
his
Squire
follow'd
him
or
no
.
The
Inn-keeper
having
thus
lost
the
Knight
,
demanded
his
Reck'ning
of
the
Squire
.
But
Sancho
pleaded
his
Master's
Priviledge
,
alledging
,
That
the
same
Custom
which
exempted
the
Master
,
exempted
the
Squire
.
Upon
this
,
the
Inn-keeper
growing
into
Passion
,
call'd
Sancho
a
thousand
Pimps
and
Rascals
,
threatning
him
withal
,
That
if
he
did
not
pay
him
,
to
have
his
Reck'ning
out
of
his
Bones
.
On
the
other
side
,
Sancho
swore
by
his
Master's
Knighthood
,
That
he
would
not
pay
a
Farthing
,
tho
they
flea'd
him
alive
;
protesting
withal
,
that
he
would
never
give
the
least
Occasion
for
the
Squires
in
succeeding
Ages
,
to
upbraid
him
with
the
Infringement
of
their
ancient
Rights
.
But
whether
the
Devil
,
or
ill
Luck
ow'd
Sancho
a
Spite
,
so
it
happen'd
,
that
there
were
at
the
same
time
in
the
Inn
,
certain
Clothiers
of
Segovia
,
and
Embroiderers
of
Cordovia
,
all
jolly
Fellows
,
and
Men
of
good
Substance
,
who
agreeing
all
in
one
Design
,
pull'd
Sancho
off
his
Ass
,
and
sent
for
a
Blanket
;
into
which
,
after
they
had
put
the
poor
condemn'd
Sancho
,
four
of
the
stoutest
,
taking
every
one
his
Corner
,
they
made
him
dance
the
Carp-Galliard
i'
the
Air
for
several
times
together
,
as
your
Bulls
toss
the
Dogs
at
the
Bear-garden
.
All
the
while
Sancho
roar'd
,
Sancho
bellow'd
,
Sancho
bleated
,
Sancho
howl'd
,
and
made
such
a
doleful
Noise
,
that
at
length
his
Lamentations
reach'd
his
Knight's
Ear
;
who
hearing
the
Out
cries
of
his
beloved
Pansa
,
gallop'd
back
to
the
Inn
to
relieve
the
Distressed
;
but
finding
the
Gates
shut
,
all
that
he
could
do
,
was
to
look
over
the
Wall
,
where
he
saw
Sancho
frolicking
and
frisking
in
the
Air
,
as
if
he
had
been
rather
a
Squire-volant
,
then
a
Squire-Errant
;
sometimes
with
his
Heels
,
sometimes
with
his
Head
uppermost
,
with
so
much
Nimbleness
and
Agility
,
as
if
the
Air
had
been
his
tumbling
Element
;
insomuch
that
't
is
thought
that
the
Knight
could
have
laugh'd
himself
,
if
his
Indignation
would
have
suffer'd
him
.
But
in
the
scurvy
Humour
he
was
in
,
he
did
not
like
the
Sport
.
He
fum'd
,
he
foam'd
,
he
chaf'd
,
he
lookt
over
the
Wall
as
he
stood
upon
his
Stirrups
,
and
with
a
grim
and
menacing
Countenance
,
call'd
'em
a
thousand
Sons
of
Whores
and
Bitches
,
Villains
,
Caitiffs
,
Rogues
,
Traitors
,
Murderers
,
&c.
swore
Walsingham
,
bann'd
like
a
Jailor
,
and
threaten'd
all
the
Torments
of
the
Ten
Persecutions
.
But
the
more
he
storm'd
,
the
more
they
toss'd
;
nor
did
they
leave
off
,
till
meer
Weariness
,
nothing
at
all
of
Mercy
,
put
an
end
to
Sancho's
Tribulation
:
and
then
it
was
,
that
like
Men
of
Charity
,
they
set
him
upon
his
Ass
again
,
wrapt
up
in
his
Coat
,
as
they
found
him
.
And
the
compassionate
Maritornes
,
forgeting
all
Injury
,
was
yet
more
kind
;
for
she
brought
him
a
Jugg
of
cold
Water
,
which
as
he
was
going
to
put
to
his
Mouth
,
his
Master
cry'd
out
to
him
,
Hold
—
hold
—
drink
no
Water
,
Son
Sancho
,
drink
no
Water
—
't
will
kill
thee
—
Son
Sancho
—
Have
not
I
here
the
precious
Liquor
of
Life
,
that
will
cure
thee
with
only
smelling
to
it
?
—
To
whom
Sancho
reply'd
,
I
fear
me
,
Sir
,
you
forget
your self
,
I
am
not
yet
a
Dubb'd
Knight
,
and
so
't
will
do
me
no
good
.
Keep
your
Brewage
for
the
Devil
,
and
let
me
alone
.
And
so
saying
,
he
set
the
Jugg
to
his
Lips
again
;
but
finding
it
to
be
Water
,
he
left
off
,
and
desir'd
Maritornes
to
change
it
for
Wine
,
which
she
did
with
a
willing
Heart
,
and
paid
for
it
out
of
her
own
Pocket
.
For
't
was
said
of
her
,
That
tho
she
were
a
Whore
,
yet
she
had
something
of
Christianity
in
her
.
Sancho
having
thus
refresh'd
himself
,
was
honourably
conducted
out
of
the
Inn
,
and
departed
very
well
satisfy'd
,
that
he
had
bubbl'd
the
Inn-keeper
,
tho
at
the
Expence
of
his
Kidneys
and
Shoulders
,
that
were
his
usual
Sureties
.
't
is
true
,
that
the
Inn-keeper
kept
his
Wallet
for
the
Reckning
;
but
he
was
so
transported
with
Joy
,
that
he
never
miss'd
it
.
And
now
Sancho
being
thus
gone
,
the
Inn-keeper
would
have
lock'd
up
the
Gates
again
,
but
the
Tossers
that
car'd
not
a
rush
for
the
Knight
,
had
he
been
of
the
Round-Table
,
would
not
permit
him
;
perhaps
because
they
long'd
to
have
had
the
same
Sport
with
the
Master
,
as
they
had
had
with
the
Man
.
CHAP.
IV
.
Of
the
Discourse
between
Don
Quixote
and
Sancho
Pansa
,
with
several
other
remarkable
Passages
.
SAncho
had
now
over-tak'n
his
Master
,
who
perceiving
him
in
such
a
batter'd
and
languishing
Condition
,
that
he
was
hardly
able
to
sit
his
Ass
;
My
dear
Sancho
,
said
he
,
now
I
am
fully
convinc'd
,
that
this
Castle
or
Inn
is
inchanted
;
for
what
could
they
be
that
made
themselves
such
cruel
Sport
with
thy
Carkass
,
but
Apparitions
,
and
wicked
Ghosts
of
the
other
World
?
And
farther
to
confirm
it
,
I
must
tell
thee
,
that
when
I
beheld
thy
fatal
Tragedy
,
and
would
have
got
o're
the
Wall
to
thy
Relief
,
I
found
my self
,
as
it
were
,
nail'd
to
my
Saddle
by
Enchantment
,
so
that
I
could
not
stir
:
and
't
was
well
I
took
that
Course
.
For
by
my
Honour
,
could
I
but
have
come
at
those
Caitiffs
,
and
Vagabonds
,
I
would
ha'
swing'd
'em
off
so
Inhumanly
,
that
they
should
have
remember'd
their
playing
at
Shuttle-cock
with
Man's
Flesh
,
not
only
in
this
,
but
in
the
World
to
come
,
tho
for
once
I
had
brok'n
the
Laws
of
Chivalry
.
I
would
have
claw'd
'em
off
my self
,
you
may
be
sure
,
quo
Sancho
,
had
I
been
able
,
whether
Knight
or
no
Knight
.
Tho
I
must
tell
ye
,
Sir
,
you
talk
like
a
Widgeon
,
to
say
,
the
Varlets
that
Tennis-ball'd
my
Bones
,
were
Spirits
and
Apparitions
;
for
they
were
Flesh
and
Blood
,
as
we
are
,
and
had
their
Christian
Names
and
Sirnames
;
but
you
never
heard
that
Spirits
and
Hobgoblins
were
baptiz'd
i'
this
World
.
And
therefore
,
I
beseech
ye
,
never
let
such
a
simple
Conceit
harbour
i'
your
Brains
,
that
any
Inchantment
hinder'd
your
getting
over
the
Wall
,
or
alighting
from
your
Horse
.
In
short
,
Sir
,
I
see
it
as
plain
as
the
Nose
i'
your
Face
,
that
while
we
run
scaper-loitring
after
I
know
not
what
fortunate
Adventures
,
we
are
like
to
meet
with
nothing
but
Sorrow
and
Disaster
.
And
therefore
may
I
be
pox'd
,
if
I
do'nt
take
it
to
be
our
wisest
Course
to
return
home
again
,
and
look
after
your
Harvest
,
for
here
has
been
nothing
hitherto
,
but
leaping
out
of
the
Frying-pan
into
the
Fire
.
Why
,
what
a-Devil
d'
ye
think
,
that
we
are
bound
to
find
Bones
for
all
the
Cudgels
i'
the
Kingdom
?
Poor
Sancho
,
I
pity
thy
vulgar
Ignorance
in
the
grand
Mysteries
of
Chivalry
.
Be
patient
a
while
,
and
thou
shalt
see
what
an
honourable
thing
it
is
to
follow
this
Employment
.
For
can
there
be
any
thing
more
glorious
,
then
for
a
Man
to
vanquish
and
triumph
o're
his
Enemy
?
Questionless
,
not
any
thing
.
It
may
be
so
,
for
ought
I
know
,
quo
Sancho
;
but
I
understand
nothing
of
the
matter
.
However
,
this
I
am
sure
of
,
That
ever
since
we
have
been
a
Knight-Erranting
(
for
I
enclude
my self
only
as
an
Attendant
upon
your
Worship
)
you
have
had
but
one
single
Victory
over
the
Biscayner
,
and
that
dearly
purchas'd
too
,
with
the
loss
of
one
Ear
,
and
the
Vizor
of
your
Helmet
;
but
the
Fisty-cuffs
,
the
Thumps
,
the
Wherrets
,
the
disgraceful
Kicks
o'
the
Arse
,
that
we
have
receiv'd
,
have
been
numberless
,
like
the
Sands
of
the
Sea
,
besides
an
additional
Over-plus
,
curse
upon
me
,
that
fell
to
my
share
of
being
toss'd
in
a
Blanket
,
and
by
Hobgoblins
too
,
upon
whom
it
is
impossible
for
me
to
revenge
my self
,
and
so
I
must
be
depriv'd
of
those
Victories
and
Pleasures
you
talk
of
.
I
find
,
Sancho
,
quo
Don
Quixote
,
that
we
are
both
sick
of
the
same
Disease
;
but
within
this
little
while
,
I
will
get
me
a
Sword
made
with
so
much
Art
and
Magick-skill
,
that
whosoever
shall
wear
it
,
no
sort
of
Enchantment
shall
hurt
him
.
And
it
may
be
,
good
Fortune
may
put
into
my
hands
that
of
Amadis
de
Gaul
,
when
he
call'd
himself
Knight
of
the
burning
Sword
;
which
was
one
of
the
best
Weapons
that
ever
Knight-Errant
wore
i'
this
World
;
for
it
would
cut
like
a
Razor
,
and
enter
the
strongest
Armour
that
ever
was
temper'd
,
like
Venison
Crust
.
I
'le
be
hang'd
,
quo
Sancho
,
when
y'
have
found
this
Sword
,
if
it
will
be
serviceable
to
any
but
your
Dubb'd
Knights
,
like
your
Balsom
;
and
so
all
the
mischief
shall
fall
upon
the
poor
Squire
.
That
can
never
be
,
Sancho
,
reply'd
Don
Quixote
,
when
I
ha'
got
a
Sword
that
will
kill
the
Devil
himself
.
This
was
the
Discourse
of
the
two
Adventurers
,
when
Don
Quixote
beheld
a
thick
Cloud
of
Wind-driven
Dust
upon
his
Right
Hand
;
at
what
time
turning
to
his
Squire
,
Sancho
,
cry'd
he
,
the
Day
is
come
,
that
thou
shalt
see
the
favours
Fortune
has
reserv'd
for
her
beloved
Darling
.
This
day
such
matchless
Performances
shall
signalize
the
strength
of
my
Arm
,
that
shall
deserve
an
eternal
Register
in
the
Book
of
Fame
,
for
the
imitation
of
succeeding
Ages
.
Seest
thou
that
Cloud
of
Dust
,
Sancho
?
It
only
hides
an
innumerable
Army
,
marching
this
way
,
and
consisting
of
several
Nations
,
that
has
rais'd
it
.
Why
then
,
quo
Sancho
,
there
must
be
two
Armies
,
for
yonder
's
as
great
a
dust
o'
the
other
side
;
which
Don
Quixote
perceiving
,
you
cannot
imagine
the
transports
of
his
Joy
,
out
of
a
firm
belief
,
that
two
vast
Armies
were
going
to
joyn
Battel
in
that
Plain
.
Whereas
the
dust
was
only
rais'd
by
two
numerous
Flocks
of
Sheep
,
in
continual
motion
;
some
a'
one
side
,
some
a
t'
other
side
the
Downs
.
However
,
Don
Quixote
was
so
positive
that
they
were
two
Armies
,
that
Sancho
believing
his
Master
,
I
pray
,
Sir
,
then
,
quo
he
,
what
are
we
two
to
do
?
What
dost
think
,
good-man
Block-head
,
reply'd
Don
Quixote
,
but
assist
the
weaker
side
?
For
know
,
Sancho
,
continu'd
he
,
that
the
Army
which
marches
towards
us
,
is
Commanded
by
the
Great
Alifanfaron
,
Emperour
of
the
Isle
of
Taprobana
:
The
other
that
advances
behind
us
,
is
his
Enemy
,
the
King
of
the
Garamants
,
Pentapolin
with
the
naked
Arm
;
so
call'd
,
because
he
always
fights
with
his
Arm
bare
.
And
what
's
the
Quarrel
between
these
two
Potent
Princes
,
quo
Sancho
?
Why
,
quo
Don
Quixote
,
the
reason
is
plain
:
For
Alifanfaron
is
in
Love
with
Pentapolin's
Daughter
,
who
,
in
my
Opinion
,
is
one
of
the
most
lovely
Women
i'
the
World
,
and
a
Christian
.
But
Alifanfaron
being
a
Pagan
,
her
Father
will
not
consent
to
the
Marriage
,
unless
her
Sweet-heart
will
renounce
Mahomet
,
and
embrace
the
Christian
Religion
.
May
I
never
see
Toboso
again
,
quo
Sancho
,
if
I
don't
believe
this
Pentapolin
to
be
a
Man
of
Piety
and
Vertue
;
and
I
'le
assist
him
to
the
utmost
of
my
Power
.
That
thou
may'st
Lawfully
do
,
reply'd
Don
Quixote
;
for
upon
such
occasions
as
these
there
is
no
such
necessity
to
be
a
Dubb'd
Knight
.
'
Slife
,
and
is
it
so
,
quo
Sancho
?
Then
let
me
alone
for
one
.
But
where
shall
I
secure
my
Ass
,
that
I
may
find
him
again
when
the
Battel
's
over
?
For
I
ne'r
heard
of
any
Man
that
ever
charg'd
upon
such
a
Beast
as
this
.
Let
him
e'ne
go
where
he
pleases
,
quo
Don
Quixote
;
for
after
the
Victory's
won
,
we
shall
have
such
choice
of
Horses
,
that
even
Rosinante
himself
is
in
great
danger
of
being
exchang'd
for
another
.
Then
mounting
to
the
top
of
a
Hillock
,
Look
thee
,
Sancho
,
quo
Don
Quixote
,
from
hence
will
I
shew
thee
all
the
Chief
Knights
that
Command
these
two
vast
Armies
,
that
thou
mayst
be
able
to
know
'em
again
,
when
thou
seest
'
em
.
He
yonder
i'
the
Gilded
Arms
,
bearing
in
his
Shield
a
Crown'd
Lion
Couchant
at
the
feet
of
a
young
Lady
,
is
the
Valiant
Laurcalin
,
the
Knight
of
the
Silver
Bridge
.
He
in
the
Armour
tinsell'd
with
Flowers
of
Gold
,
bearing
three
Silver
Crowns
in
a
Field
Azure
,
is
the
Famous
Micocolembo
,
Grand
Duke
of
Quirocia
.
That
other
,
that
marches
upon
his
Right
Hand
,
as
big
and
as
tall
as
a
Giant
,
is
the
undaunted
Brandabarbaran
,
of
Boliche
,
Lord
of
the
three
Arabia's
;
Arm'd
with
a
Serpents
Skin
,
and
instead
of
a
Shield
,
carrying
a
huge
Gate
,
which
is
said
to
be
one
of
those
that
belong'd
to
the
Temple
that
Sampson
pull'd
down
,
when
he
reveng'd
himself
upon
the
Philistines
,
at
the
expence
of
his
own
Life
.
Now
turn
about
,
and
at
the
Head
of
t'
other
Army
see
yonder
the
Invincible
Timonel
of
Carcasson
,
Prince
of
New
Biscay
,
whose
Armour
is
of
several
colours
,
as
Azure
,
Vert
,
Or
,
and
Argent
;
bearing
in
his
Shield
a
Puss-Cat
Or
,
in
a
Field
Gules
;
with
these
four
Letters
M.
i
.
e
.
u
.
which
compose
the
first
Sillable
of
his
Mistresses
Name
,
which
Report
avers
to
be
the
matchless
Mieulina
,
Daughter
to
Duke
Alpheniquen
,
of
Algarva
.
That
other
Monstrous
Load
upon
the
back
of
yonder
wild
Horse
,
in
white
Armour
,
with
a
white
Shield
,
without
any
Impress
,
is
a
French
Knight
,
call'd
Peter
Papin
,
Lord
of
the
Barony
of
Utrich
.
He
that
sits
galling
his
Courser's
flanks
with
his
heels
like
a
Sea-man
,
is
the
Potent
Duke
of
Nervia
,
otherwise
call'd
the
Pinner
of
Wakefield
;
bearing
in
his
Shield
a
Field
sow'd
with
Asparagus
,
with
this
Motto
,
Fortune
rakes
me
.
And
thus
he
went
on
,
naming
a
hundred
more
in
the
same
manner
,
in
both
Armies
:
And
then
proceeding
;
That
vast
Multitude
which
thou
seest
yonder
,
is
compos'd
of
several
Nations
.
There
march
they
that
drink
the
pleasant
Streams
of
the
Famous
Xanthus
.
There
the
Mountaineers
,
that
Till
the
fertil
Fields
of
Massilia
.
Yonder
,
they
that
sift
the
fine
Gold
of
the
Happy
Arabia
.
Yonder
,
they
that
inhabit
the
Renowned
Banks
of
Thermodon
.
They
that
fish
in
the
Golden
streams
of
Pactolus
;
The
Perfidious
Numidians
;
The
Persians
,
Famous
Archers
.
The
Medes
and
Parthians
,
most
dangerous
when
they
flye
.
The
wandring
Arabs
,
the
Savage
and
Cruel
Scythians
,
the
Ethiopians
,
that
bore
their
Lips
and
Nostrils
;
with
a
thousand
other
Nations
,
which
I
see
,
and
of
which
I
know
the
Countenances
,
tho
I
have
forgot
their
Names
.
All
these
Nations
,
I
say
,
compose
that
Army
,
rang'd
under
their
peculiar
Ensigns
.
On
the
other
side
are
they
that
drink
the
Crystal
streams
of
Betis
,
shaded
with
Olive-Trees
.
They
that
cleanse
the
wealthy
Oar
of
Tagus
.
They
that
enjoy
the
enriching
Current
of
the
Divine
Genile
.
They
that
mow
the
Tartesian
Meadows
.
They
that
live
so
happily
among
the
delightful
Pastures
of
Xeres
;
the
wealthy
Mancheguesians
,
crown'd
with
Wheat-sheaves
.
The
Ancient
Off-spring
of
the
Goths
,
that
delve
for
Iron
.
And
they
that
quiver
with
Appennine
Cold
,
and
Pyrenean
Snow
.
In
a
word
,
all
that
Europe
contains
within
its
vast
extent
.
Sancho
was
so
astonish'd
to
hear
such
an
Inundation
of
words
,
that
he
had
not
a
word
to
say
.
All
that
he
could
do
,
was
to
stare
with
his
Goggles
,
and
to
turn
his
Jobber-nose
as
his
Master
pointed
with
his
finger
,
to
see
if
he
could
discover
the
Knights
and
Giants
which
his
Master
shew'd
him
.
But
at
length
,
not
being
able
to
discern
the
least
sign
,
or
so
much
as
the
Tail
of
a
Horse
,
of
all
the
long
Muster-Roll
that
the
Champion
had
fancy'd
in
his
Imagination
.
Nouns
,
quo
he
,
either
I
am
blind
,
or
the
Devil
has
carry'd
away
all
your
Knights
and
Giants
;
for
as
I'
m
a
sinner
to
Heav'n
,
the
Devil
a
bit
of
Mortal
Man
can
I
see
.
I
think
the
fellow
's
turn'd
Fool
,
cry'd
Don
Quixote
;
why
,
dost
not
hear
their
Horses
Neighie
,
the
Trumpets
sound
,
and
the
Drums
rattle
?
May
I
perish
,
quo
Sancho
,
if
I
hear
any
thing
but
the
bleating
of
a
few
Sheep
.
Then
I
ha'
found
it
out
,
quo
Don
Quixote
,
for
thy
fears
disturb
thy
Senses
;
thou
neither
seest
with
thy
Eyes
,
nor
hear'st
with
thy
Ears
.
But
't
is
no
matter
,
I
need
not
the
Assistance
of
a
Coward
,
I
'le
have
the
Honour
of
the
Victory
my self
.
And
so
saying
,
he
couch'd
his
Lance
,
and
putting
Spurs
to
Rosinante
,
flew
like
Lightning
into
the
Plain
.
Sancho
bawl'd
after
him
as
loud
as
he
could
yaul
;
call'd
Heav'n
to
witness
,
that
they
were
only
Sheep
;
then
bann'd
him
to
the
bottomless
Pit
;
Curse
o'
my
Father
that
begat
me
,
quo
Sancho
,
that
I
should
be
so
unfortunate
to
serve
such
a
Mad-man
as
this
!
Sir
,
—
Sir
,
—
Master
Don
Quixote
,
—
Bent
out
o'
your
Wits
,
Sir
,
—
There
are
no
Giants
,
no
Knights
,
no
Asparagus
Gardens
,
no
Shields
either
broke
or
whole
;
but
only
a
few
Sheep
,
which
you
are
going
to
kill
before
you
have
Money
to
pay
for
them
.
—
But
Don
Quixote
,
deaf
to
all
his
Squire's
Imprecations
,
with
a
Voice
louder
then
his
Dwarf
,
crying
out
to
himself
,
Courage
,
courage
,
brave
Knights
,
that
fight
under
the
Standard
of
valiant
Pentapolin
,
with
the
naked
Arm
;
Follow
but
me
,
and
we
will
soon
be
aveng'd
of
that
Traitor
Alifanfaron
of
Taprobana
,
and
presently
flung
himself
and
his
Horse
among
the
poor
Sheep
with
that
Gallantry
and
Resolution
,
that
he
soon
laid
some
of
his
mortal
Enemies
wallowing
in
their
Blood
.
The
Shepherds
seeing
their
Sheep
go
to
rack
in
such
a
manner
,
at
first
call'd
out
to
him
,
to
know
what
he
meant
,
and
what
harm
the
poor
Sheep
had
done
him
;
but
finding
fair
means
so
little
avail'd
,
they
ply'd
him
with
Stones
as
big
as
their
Fists
,
out
of
their
Slings
;
and
that
so
nimbly
,
that
one
Stone
never
staid
for
another
.
But
the
Champion
disdaining
that
sort
of
Skirmishing
at
a
Distance
,
n'ere
minded
the
Stones
,
being
altogether
for
meeting
with
Alifanfaron
,
crying
out
,
Where
art
a'
,
Traitor
,
Alifanfaron
?
Appear
to
him
that
here
expects
thee
hand
to
hand
,
to
try
the
mettle
of
thy
keen
Kilzadog
,
and
to
chastize
thee
for
making
War
unjustly
upon
the
valiant
Pentapolin
.
At
length
among
such
a
Showre
of
Stones
as
flew
about
the
Champion's
Ears
,
there
was
one
that
lit
upon
his
Ribs
,
and
forc'd
its
way
through
two
of
the
shortest
.
Don
Quixote
thought
himself
slain
,
or
at
least
,
dangerously
wounded
;
but
then
calling
to
mind
his
Balsom
,
and
pulling
out
his
Tin-pot
,
he
began
to
set
the
precious
Liquor
to
his
Mouth
.
At
what
time
,
before
he
could
finish
his
Draught
,
another
Stone
,
of
a
sudden
,
struck
the
Pot
out
of
his
Hand
,
carry'd
away
three
or
four
of
his
Teeth
,
and
maim'd
almost
all
his
Fingers
.
These
two
Blows
were
so
violent
,
that
the
poor
Knight
falling
from
his
Horse
,
lay
stretch'd
out
upon
the
Ground
as
quiet
as
a
Lamb
.
So
that
the
Shepherds
believing
him
slain
,
took
up
their
dead
Sheep
,
to
the
number
of
six
or
seven
,
besides
what
were
wounded
;
and
rallying
their
disorder'd
Flocks
,
made
what
haste
they
could
out
of
the
way
.
Whilst
the
Combat
lasted
,
Sancho
stood
upon
the
Hill
,
Cursing
and
Swearing
and
tearing
his
Beard
for
Madness
;
but
when
the
Shepherds
were
gone
,
down
he
came
to
behold
the
Ruines
of
his
Lord
;
for
only
such
he
thought
'em
to
be
,
when
he
saw
in
what
a
Posture
he
lay
.
However
,
finding
that
he
had
some
Sense
remaining
;
Ah
,
Master
,
Master
!
quo
he
,
did
I
not
beg
you
to
return
?
Did
I
not
tell
ye
,
't
was
only
a
Flock
of
Sheep
,
and
no
Army
?
Sancho
,
reply'd
Don
Quixote
,
th'
art
a
Cuckow-brains
;
Negromancers
can
change
the
Shapes
of
Men
and
Beasts
as
they
please
themselves
:
and
thus
that
Theif
of
a
Negromancer
,
who
is
my
mortal
Enemy
,
to
deprive
me
of
the
Honour
of
that
Victory
which
I
had
i'
my
Hands
,
immediately
turn'd
the
whole
Squadron
of
the
Enemy
into
Sheep
.
And
now
to
convince
thee
,
that
this
is
a
Truth
,
do
but
take
thy
Ass
,
at
my
Request
,
and
follow
those
pretended
Shepherds
at
a
Distance
;
I
'le
pawn
my
Knighthood
,
that
before
thou
hast
rid
a
Mile
,
thou
shalt
see
'em
all
chang'd
into
Men
again
,
such
as
I
describ'd
'em
to
be
.
But
before
thou
go'st
,
come
hither
and
see
how
many
Teeth
I
want
;
for
I
feel
my
Gums
,
as
if
I
had
not
one
left
i'
my
Mouth
.
Ill
luck
again
for
poor
Sancho
;
for
as
he
was
gaping
to
tell
his
Master's
Grinders
,
with
his
Nose
almost
in
his
Chaps
,
the
Balsom
began
to
work
;
so
that
with
the
same
Swiftness
that
the
Powder
flies
out
of
a
Pistol
,
the
Physick
discharg'd
it self
all
upon
the
Beard
,
Face
,
and
Eyes
of
the
charitable
Squire
.
By
the
Bowels
of
St.
Francis
,
quo
Sancho
,
my
Master
is
a
dead
Man
,
for
he
vomits
nothing
but
clear
Blood
,
tho
the
Colour
,
Smell
,
and
Taste
,
soon
undeceiv'd
him
;
for
the
two
latter
turning
the
Squires
queasie
Stomach
,
caus'd
such
a
sudden
Rumbling
in
his
Guizard
,
that
before
he
could
turn
his
Head
,
he
unladed
the
whole
Cargo
of
his
Entrails
upon
his
Master's
Nose
,
so
that
you
would
have
sworn
there
was
not
a
Secret
in
both
their
Hearts
,
which
they
had
not
open'd
one
to
another
.
In
this
nasty
Pickle
Sancho
ran
for
a
Towel
to
wipe
himself
,
and
his
Master
;
but
missing
his
Wallet
,
he
was
ready
to
run
quite
out
of
his
Wits
.
He
bestow'd
a
thousand
Maledictions
more
upon
himself
,
and
was
sometimes
resolving
with
himself
to
let
his
Master
go
to
the
Devil
,
and
return
home
,
tho
he
lost
all
the
Recompence
of
his
Service
,
and
the
Government
of
twenty
Islands
.
It
was
high
time
then
for
Don
Quixote
to
get
up
,
which
with
much
ado
he
did
;
and
then
clapping
his
left
Hand
before
his
Mouth
,
to
keep
the
rest
of
his
loose
Teeth
from
dropping
out
,
with
his
right
he
led
Rosinante
by
the
Bridle
(
the
faithful
and
good-natur'd
Rosinante
,
that
had
not
stirr'd
an
Inch
from
the
Place
where
his
Master
fell
)
and
in
that
Posture
he
crept
along
to
his
Friend
Sancho
,
whom
he
found
lolling
upon
his
Ass
,
with
his
Face
in
the
hollow
of
both
Hands
,
like
a
Man
bury'd
in
profound
Sorrow
.
Don
Quixote
perceiving
him
in
that
Condition
;
Friend
Sancho
,
said
he
,
one
man
is
no
more
then
another
,
if
he
do
no
more
then
what
another
does
.
These
Disasters
are
but
Arguments
of
our
better
Success
.
Calms
always
follow
Storms
,
and
fair
Weather
,
foul
.
Good
and
bad
Fortune
have
their
Vicissitudes
.
Besides
,
't
is
a
Maxim
,
That
nothing
violent
can
last
long
.
And
therefore
never
grieve
at
these
Misfortunes
,
of
which
I
have
still
the
greatest
Share
.
How
can
that
be
,
quo
Sancho
?
Was
not
he
that
was
toss'd
in
a
Blanket
yesterday
,
the
Son
of
my
Father
?
And
was
not
the
Wallet
which
I
have
lost
,
with
all
that
was
in
it
,
his
Loss
?
How
!
quo
Don
Quixote
,
Hast
lost
the
Wallet
?
I
know
not
whether
it
be
lost
,
reply'd
Sancho
,
but
I
cannot
find
it
,
where
I
us'd
to
hang
it
.
Why
,
then
I
find
we
must
fast
to
day
,
quo
Don
Quixote
.
't
is
surely
so
,
reply'd
Sancho
,
unless
you
can
meet
with
such
Herbs
,
as
are
wont
to
supply
the
Necessities
of
such
unfortunate
Knights
,
as
your self
.
For
all
that
,
quo
Don
Quixote
,
at
this
time
,
I
had
rather
have
a
good
Luncheon
of
Bread
and
two
Pilchards
Heads
,
then
all
the
Sallads
in
Gerrhard's
Herbal
.
And
therefore
bestride
thy
Ass
,
and
follow
me
once
more
.
God's
Providence
,
that
provides
for
the
Flies
i'
the
Air
,
and
the
Worms
i'
the
Earth
,
will
also
provide
for
us
;
especially
if
we
continue
to
serve
him
,
as
we
do
in
this
laborious
Profession
.
Sir
,
quo
Sancho
,
interrupting
him
,
I
believe
you
would
make
a
better
Preacher
,
then
a
Knight-Errant
,
God
pardon
me
for
saying
so
.
Knight-Errants
,
reply'd
Don
Quixote
,
ought
to
know
all
things
;
and
there
have
been
such
in
former
Ages
,
that
were
wont
to
preach
at
the
Head
of
an
Army
,
as
if
they
had
tak'n
their
Degrees
at
Salamanca
,
according
to
the
Proverb
,
Tàm
Marti
,
quàm
Mercurio
.
In
good
Faith
,
Sir
,
quo
Sancho
,
it
shall
be
even
as
you
please
,
for
me
:
In
the
mean
time
,
good
now
,
let
us
remove
from
hence
,
and
seek
out
a
Lodging
;
but
let
it
be
such
a
one
,
for
the
Lord's-sake
,
where
there
are
no
Blankets
,
nor
Blanket-heavers
;
no
Apparitions
,
nor
inchanted
Moors
.
For
if
I
meet
with
any
more
of
your
Hobthrushes
,
old
Satan
himself
be
your
Squire
,
for
Sancho
.
Rather
pray
to
God
to
direct
us
,
Sancho
,
cry'd
Don
Quixote
,
and
so
for
once
go
thine
own
way
;
for
I
leave
it
wholly
to
thy
Discretion
to
provide
us
a
Lodging
.
But
first
feel
here
how
many
Teeth
I
have
i'
my
upper
Jaw
,
o'
the
right
side
;
for
there
I
find
my
Pain
lies
most
.
Thereupon
Sancho
feeling
with
his
Finger
both
above
and
below
;
Pray
,
Sir
,
quo
he
,
how
many
Teeth
should
ye
have
i'
this
place
?
Four
sound
entire
Teeth
,
quo
Don
Quixote
,
besides
the
Eye-tooth
.
Take
heed
what
you
say
,
quo
Sancho
.
I
say
four
,
reply'd
Don
Quixote
,
if
there
ben't
five
.
How
strangely
you
mistake
,
now
,
reply'd
Sancho
;
you
have
just
two
and
a
Stump
i'
the
neither
Jaw
;
but
for
your
upper
Jaw
,
't
is
all
as
smooth
as
a
Child's
Coral
.
How
!
said
Don
Quixote
,
I
had
rather
ha'
lost
an
Arm
,
provided
it
were
not
my
Sword-arm
;
for
a
Mouth
without
Teeth
,
is
like
a
Mill
without
a
Mill-stone
;
every
Tooth
in
a
Man's
Head
,
is
worth
a
Diamond
.
But
we
that
profess
the
strict
Laws
of
Chivalry
,
are
subject
to
these
Disasters
;
and
therefore
since
it
can't
be
help'd
,
go
thine
own
pace
,
and
I
'le
follow
thee
.
Thereupon
Sancho
led
the
way
,
still
keeping
the
High-road
,
as
most
like
to
bring
him
soonest
to
a
Lodging
.
Now
you
must
know
,
they
rode
very
softly
,
for
Don
Quixote's
Gums
would
not
suffer
him
to
trot
;
and
therefore
Sancho
,
compassionating
his
Master's
Condition
,
resolv'd
to
divertise
him
with
some
of
the
merriest
Conceits
he
had
in
his
Budget
,
as
you
shall
hear
i'
the
next
Chapter
.
CHAP.
V.
Of
the
pleasant
Discourse
between
Don
Quixote
and
his
Squire
;
and
of
the
Adventure
of
the
dead
Corps
.
GOD
forgive
me
for
thinking
so
,
said
Sancho
,
but
it
will
not
out
of
my
Head
,
but
that
all
our
late
Disasters
are
the
just
Judgments
of
Heav'n
upon
us
,
for
your
transgressing
the
known
Laws
of
your
Order
,
and
violating
the
Oath
which
you
made
,
not
to
eat
at
a
Table
,
nor
lie
in
an
Inn
,
till
you
had
won
What-d'-ye-call-him's
Armour
,
for
I
have
forgot
the
Name
of
the
Moor
.
Very
well
remember'd
,
quo
Don
Quixote
,
't
was
quite
and
clean
slid
out
of
my
Memory
;
and
I
believe
too
,
that
thou
wer
't
toss'd
in
a
Blanket
,
because
thou
didst
not
put
me
in
mind
of
it
▪
But
I
can
soon
make
amends
for
my
Omission
;
for
Knight-Errantry
is
a
Profession
very
ready
to
smother
Iniquity
.
Why
,
did
I
ever
swear
to
mind
you
of
your
Vow
,
reply'd
Sancho
—
?
Whether
thou
swor'st
,
or
no
,
answer'd
Don
Quixote
,
that
's
not
the
Business
,
thou
art
accessary
however
,
both
before
and
after
.
Then
take
notice
,
that
I
now
fore-warn
ye
,
said
Sancho
,
not
to
forget
your
Amendment
,
as
you
did
your
Oath
,
lest
Robin
Good-fellow
plague
us
again
,
for
being
incorrigible
.
In
the
midst
of
this
Discourse
,
Night
surpriz'd
'em
,
not
knowing
where
to
shelter
themselves
.
And
,
which
was
worse
,
they
were
ready
to
eat
one
another
for
Hunger
,
having
lost
the
Wallet
,
where
was
all
their
Provant
.
But
to
relieve
'em
in
this
Extremity
,
there
happen'd
an
Adventure
,
which
I
shall
faithfully
relate
,
without
Addition
or
Diminution
of
the
Matter
of
Fact
;
which
was
thus
.
't
was
now
pitch-dark
Night
;
however
,
they
travell'd
on
,
Sancho
believing
that
since
they
were
in
such
a
beaten
Road
,
it
could
not
be
long
before
they
met
with
an
Inn
,
or
a
Farrier's
Hovel
where
they
sold
Drink
.
With
these
Hopes
jogging
on
,
the
Squire
half
starv'd
,
the
Knight
no
less
desirous
to
eat
,
they
saw
at
a
distance
a
great
number
of
Lights
,
that
appear'd
like
so
many
Wisp-Williams
.
At
which
sudden
Apparition
Sancho
was
ready
to
swoon
,
and
they
say
,
the
Knight
himself
began
to
smell
very
strong
.
Thereupon
they
made
a
stop
,
and
observ'd
that
the
Lights
advanc'd
toward
'em
,
and
the
nearer
they
came
,
the
bigger
they
seem'd
:
Which
redoubl'd
their
Fears
;
Sancho
let
fly
,
and
Don
Quixote's
Hair
stood
an
end
:
but
at
last
recov'ring
his
wonted
Courage
;
Friend
Sancho
,
said
he
,
this
certainly
must
be
some
prodigious
Adventure
,
that
will
require
the
whole
stock
of
my
Strength
and
Courage
.
Grant
,
kind
Heav'n
,
quo
Sancho
,
that
it
be
not
another
Adventure
of
Goblins
;
for
if
it
be
,
where
the
Devil
shall
we
find
Ribs
to
endure
it
?
Come
all
the
Goblins
in
Hell
,
quo
Don
Quixote
,
they
shall
not
touch
a
Hair
o'
thy
Head
.
For
tho
I
could
not
get
over
the
Wall
;
we
are
now
i'
the
op'n
Field
,
where
I
shall
have
liberty
to
make
use
of
my
Sword
.
Alas
!
quo
Sancho
,
what
signifies
the
op'n
Field
,
should
they
inchant
ye
as
they
did
before
?
Puh
!
—
quo
Don
Quixote
,
do
but
look
on
,
and
thou
shalt
see
what
I
'le
do
.
So
I
intend
,
God
willing
,
quo
Sancho
,
for
if
I
stir
a
foot
,
I
'le
gi'e
my
Ears
.
By
and
by
they
discover'd
a
great
number
of
Men
all
in
White
.
Nay
then
,
quo
Sancho
,
quiv'ring
and
quaking
,
mercy
o'
my
Soul
;
What-a-Devil
!
quo
he
,
no
less
then
twenty
Giants
in
their
Shirts
,
with
every
one
a
Torch
in
his
Hand
,
and
murmuring
from
their
Lips
the
sorrowful
Complaints
of
Grief
and
Discontent
.
After
them
follow'd
a
Litter
,
attended
by
six
Horse-men
in
Mourning
down
to
their
Horses
Heels
.
Which
doleful
Spectacle
at
such
at
time
of
Night
,
and
in
the
midst
of
a
Desart
,
as
they
thought
themselves
,
was
enough
to
have
shipwrakt
the
Courage
of
a
stouter
Squire
then
Sancho
.
But
fearless
Don
Quixote
,
full
of
his
Fegaries
,
fancy'd
there
must
be
in
the
Litter
the
Body
of
some
Knight
either
slain
or
wounded
,
the
Revenge
of
whose
Misfortunes
was
only
reserv'd
for
him
.
And
so
couching
his
Lance
,
he
posted
himself
just
in
the
middle
of
the
Road
,
where
the
Company
were
to
pass
.
So
soon
as
they
drew
near
,
Stand
,
quo
he
,
whoever
ye
be
,
and
tell
me
in
short
,
who
ye
are
,
whence
ye
came
,
whither
ye
go
,
and
what
ye
carry
i'
that
Litter
?
For
you
seem
to
be
such
as
either
have
done
,
or
receiv'd
a
great
deal
of
Mischief
;
and
I
must
have
an
Account
either
to
punish
the
Offenders
,
or
relieve
the
Distressed
.
Sir
,
reply'd
one
of
the
Horse
men
,
we
are
in
haste
,
the
Inn
is
a
great
way
off
,
and
we
cannot
stay
to
tell
ye
the
Particulars
;
and
so
spurring
his
Mule
,
he
press'd
forward
.
But
Don
Quixote
,
dissatisfy'd
with
the
Answer
,
laid
hold
of
the
Reins
of
his
Bridle
,
and
with
a
stern
Voice
,
Sir
,
said
he
,
are
you
weary
of
your
Life
?
either
give
me
a
better
Account
,
or
I
defie
thee
to
mortal
Combat
.
But
so
it
happen'd
,
that
the
Mule
being
skittish
and
frightful
,
fell
a
cap'ring
and
rearing
at
such
a
rate
,
that
she
threw
her
Rider
to
the
Ground
.
Upon
which
,
one
of
the
Foot-boys
calling
him
a
thousand
Rogues
and
Sons
o'
Whores
,
put
him
into
such
a
Chafe
,
that
he
flew
like
a
Dragon
upon
another
of
the
Persons
in
Mourning
,
and
threw
him
to
the
Ground
with
a
Prowess
altogether
extraordinary
;
then
spurr'd
away
to
a
second
,
and
so
to
a
Third
,
with
that
Vigour
and
Activity
,
that
you
would
have
sworn
Rosinante
had
been
Pegasus
himself
at
that
time
.
It
was
not
for
Men
of
Peace
,
that
were
never
accustom'd
to
bear
Arms
,
to
withstand
such
a
rapid
Fury
as
this
;
so
that
the
People
in
White
,
fled
immediately
some
one
way
,
some
another
,
crossing
the
Fields
with
their
lighted
Torches
,
that
you
would
have
tak'n
'em
for
Masqueraders
upon
a
Bone-fire
Night
.
As
for
the
Mourners
,
they
were
so
muffl'd
up
i'
their
sable
Weeds
,
that
not
being
able
to
defend
themselves
,
they
were
forc'd
to
receive
his
Bastinado's
,
without
being
able
to
repay
him
for
his
Kindness
:
So
that
the
Renowned
Champion
in
a
short
time
got
a
complete
,
easie
,
and
cheap
Victory
;
the
Mourners
and
Assistants
believing
the
Devil
was
come
to
fetch
away
the
dead
Body
,
before
they
could
bury
it
.
All
this
while
Sancho
admir'd
the
daring
Valour
of
his
Heroick
Master
,
and
now
concluded
him
what
he
had
always
boasted
himself
to
be
.
And
now
the
Combat
being
over
,
Don
Quixote
perceiving
by
the
Light
of
a
Torch
,
that
lay
burning
in
the
High-way
,
the
poor
Man
who
was
thrown
by
his
Mule
,
he
rode
up
to
him
,
and
setting
his
Lance
to
his
Throat
,
commanded
him
to
yield
,
and
beg
his
Life
.
For
yielding
,
quo
the
other
,
I
think
I'
m
safe
enough
already
;
for
I
think
I
have
brok'n
one
of
my
Legs
.
And
I
beseech
ye
,
Sir
,
if
y'
are
a
Christian
,
not
to
kill
me
,
for
you
know
't
is
a
piece
of
Sacriledge
to
kill
a
Person
in
Holy
Orders
.
If
y'
are
in
Orders
,
quo
Don
Quixote
,
What
a-pox
brought
ye
hither
?
Bad
Fortune
,
Sir
,
quo
the
Curate
,
as
you
may
plainly
see
.
And
worse
it
may
be
yet
,
quo
Don
Quixote
,
unless
you
answer
me
directly
to
my
Questions
.
In
short
,
Sir
,
then
quo
the
Curate
,
we
were
all
a
Company
of
Priests
,
and
some
few
Gentlemen
,
and
some
few
Friends
of
the
deceas'd
Gentleman
that
lies
in
that
Litter
,
going
to
lay
his
Bones
in
Segovia
,
the
Place
of
his
Nativity
.
Well
,
—
but
who
kill'd
him
,
quo
Don
Quixote
?
Death
,
Sir
,
quo
the
Curate
,
by
the
means
of
a
pestilential
Feaver
.
If
it
be
so
,
reply'd
Don
Quixote
,
I
am
discharg'd
of
revenging
his
Death
,
if
any
other
Person
had
slain
him
;
but
if
God-a-mighty
has
done
it
,
there
's
no
more
to
be
said
;
for
had
he
done
as
much
to
me
,
I
could
not
have
help'd
it
.
And
now
know
,
Mr.
Curate
,
that
I
am
that
Renowned
Knight
,
Don
Quixote
de
la
Mancha
,
whose
Profession
it
is
to
visit
all
Parts
of
the
World
,
for
the
Relief
of
the
Afflicted
,
and
Punishment
of
Oppressors
.
I
wish
,
Sir
,
quo
the
Curate
,
I
could
have
had
the
Honour
to
have
confirm'd
your
Titles
,
which
now
I
cannot
well
do
with
a
safe
Conscience
,
as
being
beholding
to
your
Charity
for
nothing
but
a
brok'n
Leg
:
So
that
I
may
say
,
The
Prowler
about
for
Adventures
to
do
others
good
,
has
done
me
the
greatest
Injury
i'
the
World
.
Why
truly
,
Mr.
Curate
,
quo
Don
Quixote
,
this
World
is
full
of
Crosses
,
and
Mischances
,
and
therefore
all
that
I
can
say
to
ye
,
is
this
;
That
you
must
have
a
care
next
time
how
ye
play
the
Fool
i'
the
Night-time
with
your
Torches
,
and
your
white
Surplices
,
like
Mummers
,
or
rather
Hobgoblins
,
that
went
about
to
fright
People
out
o'
their
Wits
.
For
I
am
not
to
endure
such
Fooleries
as
these
,
to
the
scaring
of
Nurses
and
Children
,
and
creating
of
Stories
and
Fables
,
of
which
there
are
too
many
i'
the
World
already
.
The
Curate
durst
not
contradict
him
,
only
desir'd
his
Assistance
,
as
a
Knight-Errant
,
and
a
Reliever
of
the
Oppressed
;
for
that
his
Mule
lay
so
heavy
upon
him
,
that
he
could
not
get
his
Foot
out
of
the
Stirrup
.
Why
did
ye
not
tell
me
your
Grievance
sooner
,
quo
Don
Quixote
?
Did
ye
take
me
for
a
Conjurer
?
With
that
,
he
call'd
Sancho
,
who
made
no
great
haste
,
for
he
was
as
busie
as
one
of
St.
Nicholas's
Clarks
,
rifling
a
Wallet
,
and
would
not
stir
till
he
had
fill'd
one
of
the
Priests
Cassocks
,
which
he
ty'd
up
like
a
Sack
,
and
laid
upon
his
Ass.
And
that
being
secur'd
,
away
he
ran
to
his
Master
;
to
whom
,
'Fore
George
,
Sir
,
quo
he
,
I
can't
be
at
the
Oven
and
the
Mill
too
,
both
at
the
same
time
.
But
Don
Quixote
taking
no
notice
of
his
Drollery
,
bid
him
go
help
the
Curate
,
which
he
did
;
and
after
he
had
set
him
upon
his
Mule
,
and
given
him
his
Taper
again
,
Don
Sancho
bid
him
follow
his
Company
;
and
to
excuse
him
for
his
Mistake
,
tho
as
they
appear'd
,
it
was
not
in
his
power
to
do
otherwise
.
And
,
Sir
,
quo
Sancho
,
if
the
Gentlemen
ask
who
't
was
that
so
well
thrum'd
their
Jackets
,
tell
'em
,
't
was
the
famous
Don
Quixote
de
la
Mancha
,
otherwise
the
Knight
of
the
Ill-favour'd
Face
.
When
the
Curate
was
gone
,
Don
Quixote
ask'd
Sancho
wherefore
he
call'd
him
the
Knight
of
the
Ill-favour'd
Face
?
Because
,
said
Sancho
,
I
ha'
been
staring
upon
it
this
good
while
,
by
the
Light
of
the
Priest's
Torch
,
and
i'
my
Conscience
I
never
beheld
such
a
Swine's
Countenance
i'
my
life
.
The
Cause
of
which
,
I
take
to
be
either
your
extream
Weariness
,
or
the
Loss
of
your
Teeth
.
No
,
Sancho
,
reply'd
Don
Quixote
,
thou
art
quite
beside
the
Cushion
;
't
is
because
my
Historiographer
thinks
〈◇〉
convenient
that
I
should
have
a
Sir-name
,
as
well
as
other
ancient
Knights
.
For
one
was
call'd
The
Knight
of
the
Burning
Pestle
,
another
of
the
Unicorn
,
a
third
of
the
Phoenix
;
whose
Employment
it
was
to
combat
the
whole
Element
of
Fire
.
Another
,
of
the
Damzels
;
another
,
of
the
Gryphon
;
and
another
,
the
Knight
of
Death
.
By
which
Additions
they
were
known
all
over
the
World
.
't
was
this
same
learned
Scholar
therefore
that
inspir'd
thy
Noddle
with
this
witty
Conceit
;
for
I'
m
sure
thou
hadst
not
Brains
enough
of
thy self
to
find
it
out
.
And
therefore
I
intend
to
be
call'd
by
this
Name
,
and
to
have
some
strange
Device
painted
i'
my
Shield
,
answerable
to
it
.
In
good
faith
,
reply'd
Sancho
,
you
may
spare
that
Expence
;
't
is
but
only
shewing
your
own
Death's
Head
.
For
the
Grave
's
i'
your
Cheeks
,
your
hollow
Eyes
,
and
your
Winter
John-apple
Skin
,
have
so
strangely
transmogrify'd
your
Countenance
,
that
I
'le
forfeit
my
Stomack
,
if
any
Painter
of
Saracens
Heads
i'
the
Kingdom
can
draw
a
Face
so
ugly
as
yours
.
This
made
his
Worship
smile
;
for
the
Knight
was
such
a
Nick-a-poop
,
that
he
could
not
chuse
but
to
laugh
,
to
hear
himself
so
wittily
abus'd
by
his
Squire
.
However
,
a
new
Qualm
coming
over
his
Conscience
,
Sancho
,
said
he
,
what
shall
I
do
?
I
have
laid
violent
Hands
upon
a
Clergy-man
,
and
I
am
afraid
of
being
Excommunicated
;
according
to
that
same
Decree
i'
the
Spiritual
Court
,
If
any
one
,
through
the
Temptation
of
the
Devil
,
&c.
Yet
now
I
think
on
't
,
I
never
touch'd
him
with
my
Hands
,
but
only
with
my
Lance
.
Besides
,
I
do
not
believe
they
were
Priests
,
or
Men
that
any
way
belong'd
to
the
Church
,
but
meer
Hobgoblings
and
Ghosts
.
That
's
no
Bread
and
Butter
o'
mine
,
reply'd
Sancho
,
I'
m
sure
I
struck
no
body
,
nor
no
body
struck
me
,
which
makes
me
believe
they
were
Priests
,
and
not
Ghosts
nor
Apparitions
.
Well
—
quo
Don
Quixote
,
let
the
worst
come
to
the
worst
,
I
remember
what
befell
the
valiant
Cid-Ruy-Dias
,
who
hackt
in
pieces
the
Embassador's
Chaire
,
in
the
Presence
of
the
Pope
;
for
which
he
was
Excommunicated
,
and
thrust
into
Hell-Counter
;
but
upon
the
paying
of
fourteen
Shillings
and
a
Groat
,
he
was
presently
releas'd
again
.
For
in
the
Spiritual
Court
there
is
Law
against
Spirits
as
well
as
other
People
.
This
said
,
Don
Quixote
would
have
examin'd
the
Bier
,
to
have
seen
whether
the
Corps
in
the
Litter
were
only
dead
Bones
,
or
dead
pieces
of
Eight
.
But
Sancho
would
not
suffer
him
;
for
,
said
he
,
Sir
,
you
have
accomplish'd
this
Adventure
without
so
much
as
a
cut-Finger
;
but
should
these
Fellows
consider
how
they
had
been
baffl'd
by
one
single
Person
,
and
return
in
a
rally'd
Body
to
revenge
themselves
,
who
knows
but
that
you
may
lose
a
whole
Hand
;
and
therefore
our
safest
way
will
be
to
get
out
of
this
place
,
as
fast
as
we
can
:
and
so
saying
,
he
put
on
a
Dog-trot
with
his
Ass
;
nor
was
it
long
before
Don
Quixote
,
finding
,
after
a
short
Meditation
,
that
Sancho
spake
Reason
,
gallop'd
after
him
.
Now
,
after
they
had
rid
some
three
or
four
Miles
,
't
was
broad
day
;
and
the
light
of
the
Sun
directing
'em
to
a
Valley
,
that
lay
skulking
between
two
Hills
,
fit
for
their
purpose
;
there
they
alighted
:
There
Sancho
,
opening
his
Cassock
,
found
that
your
Men
in
Orders
were
not
the
worst
Stewards
for
their
bellies
.
And
therefore
spreading
the
Cassock
upon
the
green
Grass
,
they
fell
on
,
and
eat
their
Break-fast
,
Dinner
,
Afternoon's
Luncheon
,
and
Supper
,
all
at
one
time
.
Sancho
took
the
Crust
,
and
his
Master
took
the
Crum
:
Sancho
dispatch'd
what
was
hard
and
tough
,
and
his
Master
what
was
delicate
and
tender
:
And
,
as
stollen
Goods
,
no
doubt
but
they
would
have
gone
down
much
the
sweeter
,
had
they
not
wanted
Drink
;
but
Drink
they
want●●
to
that
degree
,
that
ne'r
was
Barnaby
ever
dryer
in
a
Morning
.
For
Sancho
had
forgot
to
plunder
the
Bottles
as
well
as
the
Victuals
;
nor
would
the
Valley
afford
a
drop
of
Water
that
they
could
find
.
However
,
considering
they
were
in
a
place
where
the
Grass
was
fresh
and
green
,
Sancho
gave
his
Master
that
Advice
,
which
seem'd
Rational
,
tho
it
did
not
answer
their
Expectations
,
as
we
shall
find
i'
the
next
Chapter
.
CHAP.
VI
.
Of
the
most
wonderful
Adventure
that
ever
happen'd
to
Knight-Errant
,
which
Don
Quixote
accomplish'd
without
any
danger
.
SAncho
,
ready
to
choak
for
Thirst
,
as
we
said
before
,
and
summoning
his
Wits
together
for
relief
;
quo
he
to
his
Master
,
This
Grass
looks
so
fresh
and
green
,
that
of
necessity
there
must
be
some
Spring
or
Rivulet
that
waters
these
Grounds
:
And
therefore
my
Opinion
is
,
that
if
we
do
but
make
diligent
search
,
we
shall
find
some
Liquor
or
other
to
appease
this
intolerable
Drowth
,
which
Plagues
us
more
then
our
Hunger
did
before
.
Thereupon
Don
Quixote
,
leading
Rosinante
by
the
Bridle
,
and
Sancho
his
Ass
by
the
Halter
,
they
went
feeling
about
for
a
Well
,
or
a
Fountain
,
or
any
thing
that
had
Water
in
it
(
for
tho
I
said
before
't
was
broad
day
,
I
must
eat
my
words
,
it
being
as
yet
so
dark
,
they
could
not
see
their
Hands
;
)
and
therefore
I
say
they
felt
their
way
,
because
they
could
not
see
it
.
Now
,
they
had
not
gone
above
two
hundred
Paces
before
they
heard
a
noise
that
rejoyc'd
the
Cockles
of
their
Hearts
,
as
being
the
noise
of
a
great
fall
of
Waters
.
But
going
a
little
farther
,
they
heard
another
noise
no
less
terrible
,
of
redoubl'd
Blows
and
Bastinado's
,
with
the
rattling
of
Chains
and
Fetters
,
which
together
with
the
roaring
of
the
Waters
made
such
a
dismal
Din
i'
the
dark
,
that
had
Sancho's
Break-fast
been
Concocted
,
he
had
not
kept
it
long
in
his
Belly
.
Neither
could
Don
Quixote
himself
tell
what
to
think
on
't
:
He
had
not
one
Maggot
in
all
his
Readings
that
could
compare
with
it
.
Besides
that
,
Fortune
at
the
same
time
brought
'em
under
a
great
Tuft
of
Trees
,
where
the
rustling
of
the
Leaves
,
and
the
whistling
of
the
Wind
augmented
their
Dismay
;
especially
not
knowing
where
they
were
.
But
then
it
was
that
the
undaunted
Don
Quixote
,
mounting
his
Rosinante
,
and
shouldering
his
Target
,
Know
,
Sancho
,
said
he
,
that
I
was
born
in
this
Iron
Age
,
to
restore
the
Age
of
Gold
.
't
is
for
me
that
Heaven
has
reserv'd
the
most
Famous
Atchievements
,
and
the
accomplishment
of
these
Tragical
Adventures
.
't
is
I
that
must
deface
the
Remembrance
of
the
Knights
of
the
Round
Table
,
the
Twelve
Peers
of
France
,
the
Nine
Worthies
,
of
the
Olivants
,
Belianis's
,
and
Knights
of
the
Sun
,
and
of
all
the
Knight-Errants
of
former
Ages
,
by
Eclipsing
the
Renown
of
all
their
most
Glorious
Actions
.
What
an
assemblage
of
Terrors
is
here
?
Darkness
,
rattling
of
Chains
,
redoubl'd
Stripes
,
rustling
of
Leaves
,
and
the
noise
of
Cataracts
,
that
seem
to
fall
from
the
Mountains
of
the
Moon
,
of
which
the
least
were
enough
to
make
Mars
himself
creep
into
an
Auger-hole
.
Nevertheless
these
are
but
Incentives
of
my
Courage
,
and
I
feel
my
Heart
leap
i'
my
Belly
,
when
I
go
to
encounter
the
most
dreadful
dangers
i'
the
World
;
like
a
Spaniel
when
he
see's
his
Master
take
down
his
Fowling-Piece
.
And
therefore
take
up
my
Girts
three
holes
higher
,
and
tarry
here
under
Heav'n's
Protection
;
and
if
I
do
not
return
in
four
days
,
get
thee
home
,
and
tell
the
Matchless
Dulcinea
,
that
her
Champion
,
and
the
Slave
of
her
Beauty
,
fell
a
Sacrifice
to
Renown
and
endless
Immortality
for
her
sake
.
When
Sancho
heard
these
words
,
he
fell
a
weeping
like
a
Woman
at
her
Husband's
Funeral
;
and
whining
out
his
Grief
,
Sir
,
said
he
,
I
do
not
understand
why
you
should
undertake
this
desperate
Adventure
.
't
is
dark
,
and
no
body
sees
us
;
we
may
very
well
sneak
away
,
and
avoid
the
danger
,
tho
we
should
not
drink
these
three
days
.
I
have
often
heard
our
Curate
repeat
an
Old
Proverb
,
Harm
watch
,
Harm
catch
.
And
therefore
forbear
,
Sir
,
to
tempt
God
,
by
undertaking
an
Adventure
which
you
cannot
accomplish
without
a
Miracle
.
Is
it
not
sufficient
that
Heaven
preserv'd
ye
from
being
toss'd
in
a
Blanket
,
and
gave
you
such
a
Remarkable
Victory
over
the
Goblings
that
attended
the
dead
Corps
?
But
if
this
will
not
prevail
,
consider
when
you
have
left
me
,
in
what
a
condition
I
shall
be
;
ready
to
surrender
my
Soul
to
the
first
that
asks
me
.
I
have
forsak'n
Home
,
Wife
,
and
Children
,
to
follow
you
,
in
hopes
to
get
,
and
not
to
lose
;
but
,
as
Covetousness
is
the
Root
of
all
Evil
,
so
all
my
Expectations
vanish
,
while
I
lye
gaping
after
Islands
and
Castles
i'
the
Air
.
Dear
Master
,
for
the
love
of
God
,
be
not
so
Cruel
.
Or
if
you
are
resolv'd
to
undertake
this
damn'd
Adventure
,
stay
till
you
can
see
:
't
is
but
three
hours
to
Morning
;
for
according
to
my
little
Skill
,
the
Muzzle
of
the
Lesser
Bear
is
just
over
our
Heads
.
Yee
silly
Hog
,
quo
Don
Quixote
,
how
canst
thou
see
the
Muzzle
of
the
Bear
,
when
there
is
not
a
Star
to
be
seen
in
the
Sky
?
That
's
very
true
,
reply'd
Sancho
;
but
Fear
is
sharp-sighted
,
and
sees
farther
into
a
Mill
stone
then
other
People
.
Let
Day
come
,
or
never
come
,
't
is
all
one
to
me
,
cry'd
Don
Quixote
;
t'
shall
never
be
said
,
that
the
tears
of
a
sniveling
Cow-baby
kept
me
from
doing
the
Duty
of
a
Knight
.
And
therefore
thy
business
is
only
to
Girt
Rosinante
,
and
tarry
here
for
me
;
no
question
,
but
in
a
short
time
I
shall
return
either
dead
or
alive
.
Sancho
finding
his
Master
so
positively
bent
;
and
that
neither
Tears
,
nor
good
Advice
could
divert
him
from
his
determinations
,
resolv'd
to
try
a
trick
of
Policy
,
tho
it
were
but
to
keep
him
till
Morning
in
spite
of
his
teeth
;
and
to
that
purpose
,
instead
of
girting
Rosinante
,
he
ty'd
the
Horses
two
hinder
Leggs
to
his
Asses
Halter
;
so
that
when
Don
Quixote
spurr'd
him
forward
,
the
Spittle
did
nothing
but
fall
a
rearing
before
.
Which
Sancho
observing
,
Look
ye
,
Sir
,
said
he
,
the
Heavens
are
o'
my
side
,
and
will
not
suffer
Rosinante
to
move
;
and
therefore
all
your
spurring
the
poor
Creature
is
but
like
striving
against
the
stream
,
and
for
ought
I
know
,
may
put
Fortune
out
of
Humour
.
Don
Quixote
rag'd
like
a
Mad-man
at
first
;
but
finding
that
the
more
he
gall'd
his
sides
,
the
more
Rosinante
bounc'd
and
caper'd
,
he
resolv'd
to
tarry
till
't
was
light
.
Well
—
quo
he
,
since
it
so
pleases
Rosinante
,
I
must
tarry
till
Morning
,
tho
it
were
upon
Life
and
Death
.
What
matter
is
it
,
reply'd
Sancho
?
I
'le
undertake
to
find
ye
Stories
anow
,
if
your
Worship
will
but
be
pleas'd
to
alight
,
and
take
a
Napp
upon
the
green
Grass
,
after
the
Custom
of
Knight-Errants
.
Alight
and
sleep
!
quo
Don
Quixote
:
Am
I
one
of
those
that
want
to
sleep
,
when
they
are
to
fight
?
Sleep
thou
,
that
wert
born
to
sleep
,
or
do
what
thou
wilt
;
I
know
what
I
have
to
do
my self
.
Be
not
so
hasty
,
Sir
,
reply'd
Sancho
,
I
spoke
it
only
in
jest
:
And
having
so
said
,
laying
one
hand
upon
the
Pummel
,
and
the
other
upon
the
Crupper
of
the
Saddle
,
he
stood
embracing
his
Master's
knees
,
not
daring
to
budge
an
inch
for
fear
of
the
stripes
that
sounded
continually
in
his
Ears
.
And
now
his
Master's
Passion
being
allay'd
;
Come
,
said
he
,
Sancho
,
tell
us
a
Tale
to
pass
away
the
time
till
Morning
.
Troth
,
Sir
,
quo
Sancho
,
and
may
I
perish
if
I
lye
,
I
am
afraid
at
my
very
Heart
;
and
I
ha'
no
more
mind
to
tell
Tales
,
then
to
hang
my self
.
But
I
'le
try
what
I
can
do
to
pleasure
your
Worship
,
and
thus
I
begin
.
There
was
—
hold
—
I
am
sure
't
is
one
of
the
best
Stories
i'
the
World
,
if
my
Fears
will
let
me
tell
it
—
In
former
times
,
when
it
was
as
it
was
—
Good
betide
us
all
,
and
Harm
be
to
them
that
seek
it
—
And
here
,
Sir
,
you
must
take
notice
by
the
by
,
that
the
Ancients
did
not
begin
their
Stories
,
as
we
do
now
,
but
with
a
Proverb
of
a
certain
wise
Man
,
whom
they
call'd
Cato
;
who
said
,
That
Evil
was
for
him
,
that
Evil
thought
;
which
is
as
pat
to
your
purpose
,
as
a
Pudding
for
a
Frier's
Mouth
;
by
which
you
are
adviz'd
not
to
wake
a
sleeping
Lion
,
and
that
we
ought
to
take
another
Road
,
since
no
body
forces
us
to
keep
this
,
where
all
the
Devils
in
Hell
seem
to
tarry
for
us
.
Prethee
go
on
with
thy
Story
,
cry'd
Don
Quixote
,
and
for
the
Road
,
leave
that
to
my
Discretion
.
I
say
then
,
quo
Sancho
,
that
in
a
certain
part
of
Estremadura
,
there
liv'd
a
certain
Shepherd
,
or
rather
,
Goat-herd
,
in
regard
he
kept
Goats
:
Which
Shepherd
,
or
rather
Goat-herd
,
as
the
Story
goes
,
was
call'd
Lopez
Ruyz
;
and
this
Shepherd
Lopez
Ruyz
was
in
love
with
a
fair
Shepherdess
,
whose
Name
was
La
Toralva
;
which
Shepherdess
,
whose
Name
was
La
Toralva
,
was
the
Daughter
of
a
certain
wealthy
Shepherd
;
which
wealthy
Shepherd
had
a
great
number
of
Sheep
—
If
thou
tell'st
thy
Tale
,
quo
Don
Quixote
,
interrupting
him
,
and
mak'st
so
many
Repetitions
of
the
same
thing
,
thou
't
not
ha'
done
this
Fortnight
:
Prethee
tell
thy
Story
like
a
Man
o'
Sense
,
or
let
it
alone
.
Why
,
reply'd
Sancho
,
they
always
tell
their
Stories
o'
this
Fashion
in
our
Countrey
;
nor
do
I
know
how
to
tell
it
otherwise
,
neither
am
I
willing
to
introduce
new
Customs
.
Prethee
then
tell
it
how
thou
wilt
,
reply'd
Don
Quixote
.
Know
then
,
my
dear
Master
,
continu'd
Sancho
,
that
this
Shepherd
was
inamour'd
of
the
Shepherdess
Toralva
,
who
was
a
young
Girl
,
well
truss'd
,
wild
and
froppish
,
and
partaking
somewhat
of
the
Masculine
Gender
,
having
a
kind
of
a
Beard
upon
her
upper
Lip
;
for
me-thinks
I
see
her
now
as
perfectly
,
as
if
she
were
here
before
me
.
Why
then
it
seems
thou
knew'st
her
,
quo
Don
Quixote
.
Not
so
neither
,
but
he
that
told
me
the
Story
,
affirm'd
it
for
so
great
a
Truth
,
that
he
assur'd
me
,
when
I
told
it
again
,
I
might
safely
swear
I
had
seen
her
—
Well
—
Sir
,
but
you
know
Days
go
and
come
;
and
so
it
happen'd
,
that
after
several
Days
coming
and
going
,
the
Devil
,
who
never
sleeps
,
but
will
have
a
Finger
in
every
Pie
,
so
brought
it
about
,
that
the
Shepherd
fell
out
with
his
Sweet-heart
,
insomuch
that
he
chang'd
his
Love
into
mortal
Hatred
:
And
the
Reason
of
it
was
,
by
the
Relation
of
certain
scandalous
Tale-bearers
,
that
bare
no
good
Will
to
either
Party
,
because
the
Shepherd
thought
the
Shepherdess
no
better
then
she
should
be
;
or
as
we
say
,
that
is
,
she
was
one
,
that
if
ye
give
her
an
Inch
,
would
take
an
Ell.
Thereupon
the
Shepherd
being
immeasurably
griev'd
and
discontented
,
resolv'd
to
abandon
his
Shepherdess
for
ever
;
and
that
he
might
by
his
Absence
quite
extirpate
her
out
of
his
Memory
,
he
farther
determin'd
to
go
into
another
Countrey
,
where
his
Eyes
might
never
see
her
more
.
On
the
other
side
,
Toralva
finding
her self
forsak'n
by
the
Shepherd
,
began
to
love
the
Person
,
which
before
she
had
with
so
much
Cruelty
despis'd
,
and
that
with
a
more
then
ordinary
Passion
.
That
's
the
Nature
of
Women
,
quo
Don
Quixote
,
interrupting
him
,
to
scorn
those
that
love
'em
,
and
to
love
those
that
contemn
'
em
.
Proceed
,
Sancho
—
With
these
Resolutions
then
,
quo
Sancho
,
the
Shepherd
driving
his
Goats
before
him
,
directed
his
Course
toward
the
Kingdom
of
Portugal
.
Toralva
having
a
long
Nose
,
smelt
his
Design
,
and
follow'd
him
bare-foot
and
bare-legg'd
,
with
her
Shoes
in
one
Hand
,
a
Pilgrim's
Staff
i'
the
other
,
and
alittle
Wallet
at
her
Back
,
wherein
she
carry'd
a
piece
of
a
Looking
glass
,
half
a
Comb
,
a
Box
of
Paint
,
and
some
other
Bawbles
to
prank
up
her self
.
But
let
her
carry
what
she
pleas'd
,
that
's
nothing
to
me
.
This
is
certain
,
that
at
length
the
Shepherd
Lopez
Ruyz
arriv'd
at
the
Banks
of
the
River
Guadiana
,
when
the
Waters
were
up
so
high
that
there
was
no
passing
:
which
was
so
much
the
greater
Vexation
to
him
,
because
he
perceiv'd
Toralva
at
his
Heels
,
and
fear'd
to
be
plagu'd
with
her
Tears
and
Lamentations
.
At
length
he
descry'd
a
Fisher-man
in
a
little
Boat
,
but
so
little
,
that
it
would
carry
no
more
then
one
Man
,
and
one
Goat
at
a
time
.
But
Necessity
has
no
Law
,
and
therefore
he
was
forc'd
to
give
the
Fisher-man
his
own
Rates
to
carry
him
,
and
his
three-hundred
Goats
over
the
River
.
The
Bargain
being
struck
,
the
Fisher-man
came
with
his
Boat
,
and
carry'd
over
one
Goat
,
there
was
one
;
then
he
came
again
,
and
fetch'd
another
,
there
was
two
;
then
he
return'd
and
fetch'd
another
,
there
was
three
.
And
now
,
Sir
,
quo
Sancho
to
his
Master
,
be
sure
you
keep
a
just
Accompt
how
many
Goats
the
Fisher-man
carrys
over
;
for
unless
you
are
very
exact
in
your
Tale
,
my
Tale
will
be
at
an
end
,
and
the
Devil
a
word
can
I
say
more
.
Now
the
landing-place
on
the
other
side
of
the
River
was
very
slippery
and
muddy
,
which
was
the
Reason
that
the
Fisher-man
was
a
long
time
before
he
could
go
and
come
.
But
for
all
that
,
he
first
carry'd
over
one
Goat
,
then
another
,
and
then
another
.
Prethee
,
Sancho
,
cry'd
Don
Quixote
,
why
canst
thou
not
say
in
few
words
,
the
Fisher-man
carry'd
'em
all
over
,
and
so
go
on
with
thy
Story
?
Pray
Sir
,
let
me
alone
,
quo
Sancho
,
how
many
has
the
Fisher-man
carry'd
over
already
?
Nay
,
who
the
Devil
knows
,
quo
Don
Quixote
,
dost
think
I
took
an
Accompt
?
Why
there
's
the
Mischief
on
't
,
your
Negligence
has
put
an
end
to
my
Story
,
and
now
you
may
go
hang
your self
for
the
rest
.
Hey-day
,
quo
Don
Quixote
,
is
it
so
essential
to
the
Story
,
that
you
can't
go
on
,
if
one
of
the
Goats
be
missing
?
't
is
very
true
,
reply'd
Sancho
,
for
between
my
Answer
and
your
Question
,
the
Story
slipt
quite
and
clean
out
of
my
Memory
;
and
by
my
Faith
't
was
a
thousand
Pities
,
for
't
was
an
incomparable
one
,
if
I
have
any
Skill
.
Why
,
and
must
the
Story
end
here
then
,
quo
Don
Quixote
?
No
more
to
be
fetch'd
to
life
again
,
then
my
Mother
,
quo
Sancho
.
By
my
troth
,
quo
Don
Quixote
,
a
most
learned
Story
,
and
as
learnedly
told
.
However
,
't
was
no
more
then
I
expected
from
such
a
Block-head
as
thou
art
.
But
why
do
I
fret
my self
about
thy
Follies
?
Let
's
see
whether
Rosinante
be
in
humour
,
or
no
;
that
's
more
to
our
purpose
.
With
that
he
gave
Rosinante
two
Spurrs
,
and
the
high-mettl'd
Jade
answer'd
with
one
Bound
,
and
no
more
,
having
his
Hind-legs
still
shackl'd
to
Sancho's
Ass.
At
the
same
time
,
whether
it
were
the
Coolness
of
the
Night
,
or
that
Sancho
had
eat'n
any
laxative
Food
at
Supper
,
or
whether
it
were
the
Indulgence
of
Nature
,
always
kind
to
Sancho
;
a
Necessity
encroach'd
upon
him
of
doing
that
which
no
body
could
do
for
him
;
but
such
were
his
Fears
,
that
he
durst
not
stir
a
Straw's
breadth
from
his
Master
.
In
this
miserable
Exigency
he
took
his
right
Hand
from
the
Crupper
of
the
Saddle
,
and
untying
his
Codpiece-point
,
let
fall
his
Breeches
,
and
expos'd
his
broad
Buttocks
to
the
Air
;
but
the
main
business
was
how
to
do
his
Business
gently
without
making
a
Noise
;
to
which
purpose
he
try'd
the
various
Ways
of
clutching
his
Teeth
close
,
shrinking
up
his
Shoulders
,
and
holding
his
Breath
.
But
alas
!
the
Air
that
could
not
find
passage
one
way
,
finding
the
other
op'n
,
burst
forth
with
a
Thunder-clap
,
quite
different
from
all
the
Noises
they
had
yet
heard
.
Hark
,
quo
Don
Quixote
,
what
more
Noises
yet
?
Some
new
Adventure
I
'le
warrant
ye
,
cry'd
Don
Quixote
,
for
the
Devil
has
always
five
Acts
to
his
Play
.
With
that
,
Sancho
try'd
t'other
Strain
,
which
succeeded
so
well
,
that
without
the
least
rumbling
or
grumbling
at
all
,
he
discharg'd
his
whole
Cargo
,
to
the
Ease
both
of
Mind
and
Body
.
't
is
true
,
Don
Quixote's
Hearing
was
better
then
his
Smelling
;
beside
that
,
Sancho
stood
between
him
and
Danger
.
Nevertheless
,
certain
Fumes
that
ascended
perpendicularly
,
fail'd
not
to
inform
him
of
Sancho's
Unmannerliness
.
No
sooner
were
his
Nostrils
fill'd
,
but
holding
his
Nose
with
his
Finger
,
as
his
Parents
had
taught
him
before
;
Sancho
,
said
he
,
most
assuredly
thou
art
in
great
bodily
Fears
.
't
is
very
true
,
reply'd
Sancho
;
but
pray
,
Sir
,
whence
is
this
Discovery
more
now
,
then
all
this
while
?
Because
,
quo
Don
Quixote
,
thou
didst
not
smell
so
strong
,
as
now
thou
dost
.
You
may
thank
your self
for
it
,
quo
Sancho
,
for
't
is
my
Attendance
upon
your
Worship
that
disorders
my
Body
,
and
causes
me
to
catch
Cold
.
Prethee
,
Sancho
,
quo
Don
Quixote
,
keep
a
little
farther
off
,
three
or
four
Yards
at
least
;
and
for
the
future
take
more
care
,
and
know
your
distance
;
for
I
find
my
too
much
Liberty
has
bred
Contempt
.
I
warrant
,
quo
Sancho
,
your
Worship
believes
I
ha'
done
something
,
which
I
ought
not
to
ha'
done
.
I
care
not
what
y'
have
done
,
reply'd
Don
Quixote
,
but
I
bid
thee
once
more
keep
at
a
distance
.
This
Discourse
was
none
of
the
cleanliest
,
you
'l
say
,
however
it
serv'd
i'
the
Dark
,
nor
did
it
longer
continue
;
for
Sancho
perceiving
the
approach
of
Dawn
,
presently
unty'd
Rosinante
,
who
finding
himself
at
liberty
▪
paw'd
the
Ground
with
his
fore
Feet
,
which
Don
Quixote
took
for
a
good
Omen
.
And
now
the
bright
Aurora
displaying
her
purple
Mantle
o're
the
Face
of
the
Sky
,
Don
Quixote
found
himself
in
a
Chest-nut
Grove
,
not
able
as
yet
however
,
to
guess
the
meaning
of
that
wicked
Noise
that
still
perplex'd
his
Ears
.
And
therefore
being
fully
determin'd
to
find
it
out
,
he
took
a
second
last
leave
of
his
dear
Sancho
,
with
the
same
Orders
as
before
,
as
well
in
Reference
to
himself
,
as
the
matchless
Dulcinea
;
adding
withal
,
that
he
should
not
trouble
himself
about
the
Recompence
of
his
Services
,
for
that
,
before
he
left
home
,
he
had
made
his
Will
,
where
he
should
find
himself
proportionably
consider'd
with
the
rest
of
his
Relations
;
but
if
he
succeeded
in
his
Adventure
,
that
then
he
should
not
need
to
take
any
farther
care
for
Happiness
i'
this
World
.
Sancho
could
not
refrain
blubbering
to
hear
the
tender
Expressions
of
his
Master
,
and
at
length
melting
into
a
shower
of
Tears
,
he
swore
to
accompany
him
in
the
Enterprize
,
tho
he
were
sure
never
to
return
.
From
which
laudable
Resolution
of
his
the
Historian
gathers
,
That
the
Squire
was
something
of
a
Gentleman
born
,
or
at
least
an
old
Christian
:
And
he
wrought
wonderfully
upon
Don
Quixote's
good
Nature
,
tho
he
durst
not
shew
it
at
a
time
,
when
it
behov'd
him
to
banish
all
Thoughts
of
Tenderness
and
Effeminacy
.
For
now
he
rode
directly
where
the
Noise
of
the
terrible
Thumps
and
Blows
led
him
,
while
Sancho
follow'd
close
at
his
Heels
,
leading
by
the
Halter
the
faithful
Companion
of
his
bad
and
good
Fortune
.
In
this
posture
they
kept
on
for
some
time
,
under
a
delightful
Coverture
of
Chest-nut
Trees
;
till
at
length
they
came
into
a
Meadow
joining
to
certain
Rocks
,
from
the
top
of
which
there
was
a
great
fall
of
Waters
,
that
made
out
one
part
of
the
Discovery
.
At
the
foot
of
those
Rocks
they
discover'd
certain
old
Cottages
,
or
rather
,
the
Ruines
of
Cottages
;
and
thence
it
was
,
that
those
frightful
Sounds
of
Thump
,
Thump
,
Thump
,
Thump
,
were
first
observ'd
to
break
the
Air
.
A
Noise
so
terrible
,
that
it
frighted
both
Man
and
Beast
.
For
Rosinante
,
patient
Rosinante
himself
,
could
not
bear
it
,
but
began
to
snort
and
prick
up
his
Ears
,
till
Don
Quixote
hearten'd
him
on
by
clapping
him
o'
the
Neck
,
and
giving
him
good
Words
;
So
,
so
—
So
,
so
—
Rosinante
—
So
,
so
—
;
and
having
by
that
means
pacify'd
the
best
natur'd
Horse
i'
the
World
,
by
degrees
he
drew
nearer
and
nearer
to
the
Cause
of
their
Terror
,
recommending
himself
all
the
way
to
his
matchless
Dulcinea
;
and
imploring
her
Protection
in
this
perillous
Adventure
,
with
now
and
then
a
short
Lord
ha'
mercy
upon
me
,
by
the
bye
.
When
of
a
sudden
coming
to
double
the
Point
of
a
Rock
,
he
discover'd
the
fatal
Original
of
all
his
own
Anxieties
,
and
Sancho's
Tribulation
that
Night
;
for
behold
,
six
huge
Fulling-mill
Hammers
,
interchangeably
thumping
the
the
poor
Cloth
,
that
it
was
a
lamentable
Sight
to
see
.
Don
Quixote
at
the
first
sight
of
such
an
unexpected
Spectacle
,
sate
like
a
meer
Statue
,
ready
to
drop
from
his
Horse
.
Sancho
likewise
beheld
him
hanging
his
Head
lik
a
Daffa-down-dilly
,
and
drooping
like
a
Man
o'rewhelm'd
with
Grief
and
Despair
.
On
the
other
side
Don
Quixote
lookt
upon
Sancho
,
and
observing
in
his
Blubber
Cheeks
,
a
vehement
Inclination
to
laughter
,
he
could
not
forbear
smiling
himself
,
notwithstanding
the
Extremity
of
his
Vexation
.
So
that
Sancho
,
over-joy'd
to
find
himself
at
Liberty
,
let
loose
the
Reins
of
his
Mirth
,
and
exercis'd
his
Spleen
with
so
much
Violence
,
that
he
was
forc'd
to
hold
his
aking
Sides
,
for
fear
his
Kidneys
should
drop
out
.
But
nothing
made
Don
Quixote
so
mad
,
as
Sancho's
Audaciousness
,
who
staring
him
i'
the
Face
,
began
to
repeat
with
great
Formality
,
the
Beginning
of
his
Master's
Speech
,
preparative
to
this
Adventure
;
Know
,
Friend
Sancho
,
that
I
was
born
to
restore
the
Golden
Age
,
&c.
But
Don
Quixote
in
a
damn'd
dogged
Humour
already
,
not
brooking
the
Sauciness
of
his
Squire
,
resolv'd
to
correct
him
,
and
with
his
Lance
gave
him
two
such
Remembrances
upon
the
Shoulders
,
that
had
they
litt
upon
his
Pate
,
they
had
discharg'd
his
Master
of
all
his
Island-promises
,
unless
oblig'd
to
his
Heirs
,
and
Executors
.
Thereupon
Sancho
,
finding
his
Drollery
would
not
take
,
beg'd
his
Master's
Pardon
,
with
all
Submission
;
adding
farther
,
That
what
he
did
,
was
only
to
make
his
Worship
merry
.
I
like
no
such
Jesting
,
reply'd
Don
Quixote
—
And
now
pray
come
hither
,
good
Mr.
Jack-pudding
,
I
would
fain
know
,
whether
I
did
not
shew
as
much
Courage
upon
this
false
Alarum
,
as
if
it
had
been
a
real
Adventure
?
Am
I
bound
to
understand
all
the
Sounds
I
hear
,
or
to
distinguish
between
the
Thumps
of
a
Fulling-mill
,
and
the
Justing
of
two
Knights
in
Combat
?
But
suppose
the
Fulling-mills
had
been
as
many
Giants
,
and
that
they
had
set
upon
me
either
single
or
altogether
,
I
had
not
much
valu'd
it
;
if
I
had
not
deliver'd
'em
all
headless
into
thy
Hands
,
then
I
would
have
given
thee
leave
to
have
flouted
me
into
a
Needle-case
?
Sir
,
quo
Sancho
,
I
confess
I
have
been
too
gamesome
,
and
I
acknowledge
my
Offence
.
But
I
beseech
ye
,
Sir
,
since
we
are
reconcil'd
,
tell
me
in
sober
Sadness
,
as
you
hope
that
Heav'n
shall
preserve
you
in
other
Adventures
,
as
in
this
;
Do
you
not
believe
but
that
the
Fright
that
we
were
in
,
I
mean
that
I
was
in
,
would
be
a
pleasant
Subject
for
a
merry
Ballad
,
or
so
;
or
for
half
a
dozen
Knight-Errants
to
sport
with
over
their
Cups
?
I
grant
,
reply'd
Don
Quixote
,
that
the
Accident
would
make
a
good
Scene
of
Mirth
,
but
I
do
not
think
it
fit
to
be
made
too
publick
in
Farces
and
Rhyme-Doggerels
;
for
all
People
are
not
so
discreet
as
to
make
a
right
use
of
things
.
'
Fore-George
,
Sir
,
that
cannot
be
said
of
you
,
for
you
understand
how
to
make
use
of
your
Lance
the
best
of
any
Man
i'
the
World
,
only
that
when
you
aim
at
the
Head
,
you
hit
the
Shoulders
;
but
that
was
none
of
your
Fault
:
for
had
I
not
duck'd
alittle
o'
one
side
,
I
know
what
had
become
of
me
.
But
let
that
pass
:
A
good
Master
may
be
cholerick
sometimes
,
but
the
next
Day
after
a
Basting
,
he
always
gives
his
Man
an
old
Pair
of
cast
Breeches
;
and
I
cannot
imagine
,
that
a
Knight-Errant
,
after
the
chastizing
of
a
Squire
,
can
give
him
less
then
a
Cast
Island
,
or
an
Old-fashion'd
Kingdom
upon
the
Continent
.
Hark
thee
,
quo
Don
Quixote
,
Fortune
may
so
bring
it
to
pass
that
thou
mayst
have
thy
Desire
.
In
the
mean
time
,
pardon
my
Severity
;
for
thou
knowst
that
a
Man
is
not
always
Master
of
his
own
Passions
.
On
the
other
side
,
I
advise
thee
for
the
future
,
not
to
be
saucy
,
and
to
allow
thy self
that
Freedom
,
which
I
must
not
,
nor
cannot
endure
.
I
never
read
in
any
Romance
of
any
Squire
that
ever
talk'd
so
impudently
to
his
Master
,
as
thou
dost
.
So
that
Gandalin
,
who
was
Amadis
de
Gaul's
Squire
,
tho
Earl
of
the
Firm-Island
,
never
spoke
to
his
Master
,
but
with
his
Hat
in
his
Hand
,
his
Chin
in
his
Breast
,
and
his
Body
half
bent
,
after
the
Turkish
Fashion
.
But
what
shall
we
say
of
Gasabal
,
Don
Galaor's
Squire
,
who
was
a
Man
of
that
Silence
,
that
he
gives
the
Author
Occasion
to
name
him
but
once
in
all
that
long
Story
.
And
this
I
speak
,
Sancho
,
to
let
thee
know
,
that
there
ought
to
be
a
Difference
between
the
Master
and
the
Man
.
As
for
the
Rewards
I
promis'd
thee
,
they
will
come
in
due
time
;
or
if
they
never
come
,
thou
hast
no
reason
to
question
thy
Salary
.
't
is
very
true
what
you
say
,
reply'd
Don
Sancho
,
and
I
thank
your
Worship
.
But
now
,
Sir
,
suppose
no
Rewards
should
come
,
and
that
a
Squire
should
be
forc'd
to
stick
to
his
Salary
,
pray
,
Sir
,
be
so
kind
as
to
tell
me
,
how
much
a
Knight-Errant's
Squire
did
get
in
former
times
?
And
whether
they
agreed
by
the
Month
or
the
Day
?
I
do
not
believe
,
quo
Don
Quixote
,
that
ever
they
came
to
any
Agreement
,
but
that
they
stood
to
their
Masters
Courtesie
.
And
if
I
have
allow'd
thee
Wages
in
my
Will
,
't
was
only
because
I
knew
not
what
Success
Chivalry
mght
have
in
these
Times
;
and
I
would
not
have
my
Soul
suffer
in
Purgatory
for
such
a
small
Trifle
as
thy
Wages
.
For
the
Life
of
a
Knight-Errant
is
such
as
subjects
him
to
continual
Terrors
and
Dangers
.
So
it
seems
,
quo
Don
Sancho
,
when
the
Hammers
of
a
Fulling
mill
are
sufficient
to
disturb
and
dismay
the
Heart
of
such
a
valiant
Champion
as
your self
.
But
be
assur'd
,
Sir
,
for
the
future
,
I
shall
never
open
my
Lips
to
droll
upon
your
Actions
,
but
always
speak
honourably
and
respectfully
of
your
Person
,
as
being
my
Lord
and
Master
.
That
's
the
way
to
live
long
and
happily
upon
the
Earth
,
reply'd
the
Champion
,
for
next
our
Parents
,
we
ought
to
respect
and
obey
our
Masters
.
CHAP.
VII
.
Of
the
winning
of
Mambrino's
Helmet
.
WHile
they
were
thus
confabulating
,
there
fell
a
smart
Shower
of
Rain
;
upon
which
Sancho
would
fain
have
retir'd
under
one
of
the
Fulling-houses
.
But
Don
Quixote
had
conceiv'd
such
a
mortal
Antipathy
against
Fulling-mills
,
for
the
Shame
they
had
put
upon
him
,
that
you
might
as
well
perswade
some
Men
to
eat
Cheese
,
or
handle
a
Cat
,
as
reconcile
Don
Quixote
to
a
Fulling-mill
.
And
therefore
turning
into
a
High-way
upon
the
Righthand
,
he
had
not
ridd'n
far
,
before
he
descry'd
a
Horse-man
that
wore
upon
his
Head
something
that
glister'd
like
Gold
.
Immediately
Don
Quixote
,
turning
to
his
Squire
,
Friend
Sancho
,
said
he
,
dost
thou
not
know
,
that
there
is
nothing
so
true
,
as
the
Truth
of
Proverbs
;
for
instance
,
that
of
,
One
Door
shuts
,
and
another
opens
.
And
thus
,
if
we
were
last
Night
deceiv'd
by
the
Noise
of
that
confounded
Fulling-mill
,
here
is
now
a
more
certain
Adventure
offers
it self
,
the
Gaining
of
which
,
will
be
double
the
Profit
,
and
double
the
Honour
.
In
a
word
,
in
all
probability
,
yonder
comes
the
present
Possessor
of
Mambrino's
Helmet
;
and
thou
know'st
the
Vow
which
I
have
made
.
Sir
,
answer'd
Sancho
,
mind
what
ye
say
,
and
take
heed
what
ye
do
:
For
I
would
willingly
preserve
my
Ribs
,
and
the
Seat
of
my
Understanding
from
Fulling-hammers
.
The
Devil
take
thee
with
thy
Fulling-mills
,
quo
D.
Quixote
,
as
if
there
were
no
difference
between
a
Fulling-mill
and
a
Helmet
.
I
do'nt
deny
it
,
quo
Sancho
,
and
yet
if
I
durst
speak
as
freely
as
I
was
wont
to
do
,
I
would
undertake
to
prove
your
Worship
under
a
great
Mistake
.
Scrupulous
Traitor
,
as
thou
art
,
How
can
I
be
deceiv'd
in
what
I
say
?
Why
,
prethee
look
with
thine
own
Eyes
—
Can
there
be
any
thing
more
plain
then
yonder
Knight
that
comes
riding
up
directly
toward
us
upon
a
dapple
grey
Steed
,
with
a
glist'ring
Helmet
of
Gold
upon
his
Head
?
I
see
him
over
and
over
,
reply'd
Sancho
;
and
I
see
him
to
be
a
kind
of
plain
Fellow
upon
a
grey
Ass
,
such
another
as
mine
;
and
it
is
as
true
that
he
carries
something
upon
his
Head
that
shines
,
but
no
more
like
a
Helmet
,
then
a
Shoeing-horn
.
I
tell
thee
,
that
's
Mambrino's
Helmet
,
reply'd
Don
Quixote
;
and
therefore
stand
thou
at
a
distance
,
thou
shalt
see
,
that
without
trifling
away
time
in
vain
Discourse
,
I
'le
finish
this
Adventure
,
and
win
this
famous
Helmet
,
e're
a
Cat
can
lick
her
Ear
.
I
am
easily
perswaded
to
stand
at
a
distance
,
reply'd
Sancho
,
but
I
wish
to
Heaven
,
you
may
not
meet
with
another
sort
of
Fulling-mills
.
I
have
warn'd
ye
already
,
Mr.
Sauce-box
,
reply'd
Don
Quixote
,
in
a
confounded
Rage
,
let
me
hear
no
more
of
the
Fulling-mills
;
for
if
I
do
,
may
I
never
prosper
,
if
I
do
not
break
thy
Pate
,
and
trample
thy
very
Soul
out
of
thy
Body
.
Thereupon
,
Sancho
,
unwilling
his
Master
should
fulfil
his
Vows
upon
his
Carkass
,
put
a
Padlock
upon
his
Lips
.
Now
the
Truth
of
the
Story
was
this
:
There
were
two
little
Villages
in
that
Corner
of
the
Province
,
of
which
the
one
had
neither
Barber
nor
Cobler
in
it
:
So
that
the
Barber
of
the
larger
Village
,
who
was
also
a
Blood-letter
,
and
a
Tooth-drawer
,
supply'd
all
those
Parts
.
Now
it
happen'd
,
that
in
the
lesser
Village
there
were
two
Persons
,
the
one
that
wanted
the
breathing
of
a
Vein
,
and
another
that
had
Occasion
to
be
trimm'd
.
Thither
therefore
the
Barber
was
going
,
and
being
overtak'n
by
the
Rain
,
clapp'd
his
new-scour'd
Bason
upon
his
new
Hat
to
preserve
it
from
the
wet
;
and
for
haste
also
he
rode
upon
a
grey
Mule
.
All
which
prov'd
fatal
for
the
Barber
,
as
having
heighten'd
Don
Quixote's
Fancy
to
take
him
for
a
Knight
upon
a
dapple-grey
Horse
,
with
a
Helmet
of
Gold
.
So
soon
therefore
as
the
suppos'd
Knight
drew
near
,
away
he
flew
like
a
Bird
,
with
his
Lance
couch'd
upon
his
Thigh
,
resolving
to
spit
the
poor
Barber
through
the
Heart
,
Lungs
and
all
;
crying
out
in
the
midst
of
his
Career
,
Caitiff
,
Wretch
,
defend
thy self
,
or
yield
me
that
which
is
so
justly
my
Due
.
The
Barber
,
who
saw
him
come
thund'ring
upon
him
at
such
a
rate
,
like
an
Apparition
,
not
knowing
why
,
nor
wherefore
,
had
no
other
way
to
avoid
the
fatal
Stroke
,
but
by
throwing
himself
off
from
his
Ass
to
the
Ground
;
and
being
as
soon
up
as
down
,
away
he
run
o're
the
Fields
as
swift
as
a
new-started
Hare
,
leaving
his
Ass
and
his
Bason
behind
.
Don
Quixote
being
thus
Lord
of
the
Bason
,
had
his
Heart's
Desire
,
and
turning
about
to
his
Squire
,
The
Pagan
,
quo
he
,
has
shew'd
himself
to
be
very
discreet
,
following
the
Example
of
the
Beaver
,
who
finding
himself
hotly
pursu'd
by
the
Hunters
,
nips
off
his
Civet-Box
,
which
they
seek
for
,
to
save
his
Life
.
Alight
therefore
,
and
fetch
me
the
Helmet
.
By
my
Soul
,
quo
Sancho
,
viewing
the
suppos'd
Helmet
,
this
is
no
inconsiderable
Bason
,
being
as
well
worth
a
Crown
,
as
four
Farthings
.
And
so
saying
,
he
gave
it
to
his
Master
,
who
immediately
put
it
upon
his
Head
,
and
turning
it
round
and
round
to
find
out
the
Vizor
;
By
the
Mass
,
quo
he
,
the
Pagan
that
wore
this
Helmet
had
a
plaguy
Jolt-head
of
his
own
;
and
which
is
worse
,
there
is
one
half
of
it
wanting
.
Sancho
could
not
forbear
smiling
to
hear
his
Master
call
the
Barber's
Bason
a
Helmet
,
and
had
laugh'd
out-right
,
but
that
he
was
afraid
of
his
Shoulders
.
What
does
the
Fool
twitter
at
,
quo
Don
Quixote
?
I
cannot
but
smile
,
reply'd
Sancho
,
to
see
what
a
Saracen's-Head
without
Newgate
,
the
Owner
of
that
Helmet
had
,
which
is
as
like
a
Barber's
Bason
,
as
ever
I
saw
two
Drops
of
Water
one
like
another
.
My
Thoughts
are
,
reply'd
Don
Quixote
,
that
this
enchanted
Helmet
has
fall'n
into
the
Hands
of
some
ignorant
Sots
,
that
did
not
know
the
value
of
it
;
but
finding
it
to
be
of
pure
Gold
,
they
melted
the
one
half
and
sold
it
,
and
of
the
other
half
they
made
this
Scull-piece
to
go
a
Training
upon
Artillery-daies
.
But
however
it
were
,
to
me
that
know
the
worth
of
it
,
the
Alteration
of
it
signifies
little
;
I
'le
have
a
Vizor
fix'd
to
it
,
and
then
I
will
not
leave
it
for
the
Head-piece
which
Vulcan
forg'd
for
the
God
of
War
.
In
the
mean
time
I
'le
wear
it
as
it
is
,
't
is
better
then
nothing
,
tho
it
be
only
to
keep
off
a
shower
of
Stones
.
That
't
will
certainly
,
quo
Sancho
,
if
they
be
not
hurl'd
out
of
a
Sling
,
as
when
your
Worship
lost
your
Cheek-teeth
,
and
had
your
Balsom-pot
struck
out
of
your
Fist
.
That
signifies
nothing
,
quo
Don
Quixote
,
so
long
as
I
have
the
Receipt
:
So
have
I
too
,
quo
Sancho
,
but
if
ever
I
make
it
,
much
less
take
it
again
,
may
my
Guts
burst
like
the
Idols
of
Bell
,
and
the
Dragon
.
In
good
troth
,
I
intend
henceforward
to
imploy
all
my
five
Senses
to
prevent
my
being
wounded
.
As
for
my
being
toss'd
in
a
Blanket
,
't
was
an
Accident
I
could
not
help
;
and
if
it
befall
me
again
,
I
know
how
to
shrink
up
my
Shoulders
,
hold
my
Breath
,
and
shut
my
Eyes
,
and
then
Happy-be-lucky
,
let
the
Blanket
and
Fortune
deal
by
me
as
they
see
good
.
Certainly
,
Sancho
,
quo
Don
Quixote
,
thou
art
no
good
Christian
,
thou
art
so
apt
to
remember
injuries
.
't
is
below
a
generous
Soul
to
mind
such
Trifles
.
Prethee
,
where
art
lame
?
Which
of
thy
Ribs
is
brok'n
,
or
where
is
thy
Scull
bruis'd
,
that
thou
canst
never
think
upon
that
same
Jest
,
without
Malice
?
For
to
say
Truth
,
't
was
no
more
then
a
piece
of
Pastime
;
for
had
I
look'd
upon
it
otherwise
,
I
had
return'd
and
made
more
bloody
Work
in
revenge
of
the
Abuse
,
then
ever
the
Grecians
made
before
Troy
for
Helena's
sake
.
But
alas
!
quo
he
,
fetching
a
deep
Sigh
,
she
had
never
had
that
Reputation
for
Beauty
,
had
she
been
alive
in
this
Age
,
or
if
my
Dulcinea
had
liv'd
in
hers
.
Well
then
,
said
Sancho
,
let
it
pass
for
a
Jest
,
since
no
body
will
revenge
it
in
earnest
.
And
now
,
Sir
,
alittle
of
your
Directions
to
know
what
we
shall
do
with
this
Dapple-grey
Nag
,
so
like
an
Ass
,
which
the
dismounted
Fugitive
has
here
left
behind
him
,
with
as
little
Right
,
for
ought
I
know
,
to
the
Horse
,
as
he
had
to
the
Helmet
;
and
by
my
Beard
,
the
Grey
Horse
is
the
better
Ass.
't
is
not
my
Custom
,
reply'd
Don
Quixote
,
to
plunder
those
that
I
vanquish
;
nor
do
the
Laws
of
Chivalry
permit
it
,
unless
the
Victor
hath
lost
his
own
Horse
i'
the
Combat
.
And
therefore
,
Sancho
,
leave
the
Horse
,
or
the
Ass
,
which
thou
wilt
;
he
that
has
lost
it
,
will
be
sure
to
look
after
it
,
when
he
finds
the
Coast
clear
.
But
should
I
only
exchange
it
for
my
own
,
which
is
not
so
good
,
what
then
,
quo
Sancho
?
What-a-pox
!
are
the
Laws
of
Chivalry
so
severe
,
that
a
Man
must
not
exchange
one
Ass
for
another
?
or
at
least
,
let
me
exchange
the
Furniture
?
In
that
Case
I
will
not
be
so
confident
,
answer'd
Don
Quixote
;
and
therefore
(
till
I
am
better
inform'd
)
I
give
thee
leave
to
change
the
Furniture
,
especially
if
thy
Wants
be
very
urgent
.
So
urgent
,
reply'd
Sancho
,
that
as
it
is
for
my
own
proper
Person
,
they
cannot
be
greater
.
Thus
Sancho
,
doubly
authoriz'd
by
his
Master's
leave
,
and
the
Proverb
of
Exchange
is
no
Robbery
,
took
all
the
Bona
mobilia
of
the
Prize-Ass
(
praeter
ipsum
corpus
)
and
trimm'd
up
his
own
Beast
,
that
was
now
grown
so
fine
,
that
she
hardly
knew
her self
,
nor
her
Master
,
so
disdainfully
she
carry'd
her self
.
This
done
,
they
breakfasted
upon
what
they
left
at
Supper
;
and
having
made
quick
dispatch
,
up
they
got
again
,
and
like
true
Knights-Errant
,
never
minding
their
way
,
left
it
to
Rosinante's
Discretion
to
make
choice
of
his
own
way
;
who
in
a
short
time
brought
'em
into
the
High-road
again
,
where
they
kept
on
a
slow
pace
at
a
venture
,
as
having
no
farther
Design
i'
their
Pates
at
present
.
Being
thus
at
leisure
,
quo
Sancho
,
to
his
Master
,
may
not
you
and
I
have
a
little
Discourse
together
?
for
since
you
laid
upon
me
that
severe
Injunction
of
Silence
,
I
have
had
three
or
four
excellent
Conceits
,
that
have
putrify'd
i'
my
Stomach
,
and
now
I
have
one
at
my
Tongue's
end
,
that
I
would
fain
preserve
from
such
an
untimely
Disaster
.
Out
with
it
,
Sancho
,
quo
Don
Quixote
,
but
in
few
words
,
for
tedious
Hum-drum
cloys
the
Ear
.
Why
then
,
Sir
,
quo
Sancho
,
I
have
been
considering
how
vainly
we
spend
our
time
,
while
we
search
up
and
down
through
Forests
and
Desarts
for
Adventures
,
which
if
it
be
your
fortune
successfully
to
accomplish
,
you
gain
neither
Honour
nor
Profit
by
all
your
good
Designs
or
valiant
Exploits
,
as
being
unseen
and
unknown
to
the
World
.
And
therefore
I
should
think
it
much
better
(
with
Submission
to
your
better
Judgment
)
that
we
should
put
our selves
into
the
Service
of
some
Emperor
,
or
other
potent
Prince
,
in
War
with
their
Neighbours
,
where
you
might
meet
with
publick
Opportunities
to
signalize
your
Valour
,
and
your
Conduct
.
So
shall
we
both
be
rewarded
in
time
according
to
our
Merit
,
and
you
shall
have
a
shoal
of
Historians
that
will
kiss
your
back-side
for
leave
to
transmit
your
Renowned
Atchievements
to
Posterity
.
I
speak
not
of
my
own
Acts
;
for
I
know
they
are
not
to
be
measur'd
with
the
same
Yard
as
yours
;
nor
is
it
for
the
Snail
to
creep
out
of
it
's
shell
:
Tho
I
make
no
question
,
but
that
my
Name
will
now
and
then
be
inserted
by
the
bye
,
as
the
Names
of
other
Squires
have
been
.
This
is
not
ill
offer'd
of
thee
,
quo
Don
Quixote
:
But
first
of
all
,
it
behoves
us
to
spend
some
time
in
compassing
the
World
,
as
Probationers
,
in
search
of
Adventures
,
thereby
to
spread
abroad
the
Renown
of
our
Invincible
Atchievements
.
For
then
those
Harbingers
of
Fame
will
gain
us
such
Reputation
and
Reception
in
the
Courts
of
Great
Princes
,
that
we
shall
hardly
be
able
to
pass
the
Streets
for
the
Crouds
of
Boys
and
Children
,
pointing
and
crying
out
,
There
Rides
the
Knight
of
the
Sun
,
or
the
Serpent
,
or
the
Ill-favour'd
Countenance
;
or
what
ever
other
Title
it
be
that
the
Knight
takes
upon
him
.
This
is
he
,
they
'l
cry
,
that
vanquish'd
in
single
Combat
the
Giant
Brocambruno
,
Sirnam'd
the
Invincible
.
This
is
he
that
freed
the
great
Mammaluke
of
Persia
from
the
Enchantment
,
which
had
kept
him
in
durance
for
Nine
hundred
Years
together
.
So
that
upon
this
Noise
and
Tumult
in
the
Street
,
the
King
will
be
sure
to
look
out
of
his
Window
,
and
knowing
the
Knight
by
the
Colour
of
his
Armour
,
or
the
Device
upon
his
Shield
,
he
'l
presently
send
the
chiefest
of
his
Nobles
to
receive
the
Flower
of
Chivalry
,
that
is
come
to
wait
upon
him
.
Away
they
go
and
bring
him
in
,
and
the
King
meets
him
half
way
the
Stairs
,
where
he
embraces
his
valiant
Guest
,
and
kisses
his
Cheek
.
Then
taking
him
by
the
Hand
,
he
leads
him
directly
to
the
Queens
Chamber
,
where
at
the
same
time
he
sees
the
Infanta
her
Daughter
;
who
ought
to
be
the
fairest
and
most
perfect
Creature
i'
the
World
.
At
the
same
time
it
will
so
fall
out
(
by
the
inevitable
Appointment
of
Fate
,
that
never
loves
to
spoil
a
good
Story
)
that
the
Knight
and
the
Princess
shall
cast
an
Eye
one
upon
the
other
,
admire
one
another
as
Persons
rather
Divine
then
Humane
;
and
all
of
a
sudden
,
not
knowing
any
Reason
why
or
wherefore
,
shall
fall
most
desperately
in
Love
one
with
another
,
and
be
both
almost
out
of
their
wits
for
want
of
an
Opportunity
to
discover
their
Passions
one
to
another
.
Then
they
shall
attend
the
Knight
to
his
Chamber
,
one
of
the
fairest
Appartments
in
all
the
Palace
,
and
furnish'd
with
the
richest
Furniture
the
King
has
:
Where
after
they
have
help'd
him
off
with
his
Armour
,
they
will
bring
him
a
costly
Vestment
of
Scarlet
,
Embroider'd
by
the
Infanta's
own
Hands
;
and
if
he
look'd
so
Majestick
in
his
Armour
,
how
lovely
will
he
appear
in
the
Habit
of
a
Courtier
?
Night
being
come
,
he
shall
Sup
with
the
Family-Royal
,
and
shall
always
have
his
Eyes
fix'd
upon
the
Infanta
;
yet
so
,
as
no
body
shall
take
notice
of
it
.
After
Supper
another
strange
Spectacle
shall
surprize
him
.
Enter
first
,
a
little
Dwarf
,
and
after
him
a
Lady
of
matchless
Beauty
,
between
two
Giants
,
with
a
certain
Adventure
so
contriv'd
by
an
old
Sorcerer
,
and
so
difficult
to
be
perform'd
,
that
he
who
carries
away
the
Bell
,
shall
be
accounted
the
best
Knight
in
the
World
.
Then
it
is
the
King's
pleasure
that
all
his
Courtiers
shall
try
their
Prowess
:
But
they
had
as
good
throw
their
Caps
against
the
Wind
;
for
the
Honour
is
reserv'd
for
the
Valiant
Stranger
,
who
does
the
business
with
a
jerk
.
And
then
the
Infanta
shall
be
overjoy'd
,
and
deem
her self
the
most
happy
Creature
upon
Earth
,
for
having
so
discreetly
plac'd
her
Affections
.
Then
comes
the
Cream
o'
the
Jest
;
for
this
King
,
or
this
Emperor
is
in
War
with
one
of
his
Neighbours
,
as
Powerful
as
himself
:
Which
the
Knight
understanding
,
offers
to
serve
him
in
his
Wars
;
to
which
the
King
condescends
with
Heart
and
Good
will
;
and
the
Knight
bows
,
and
kisses
his
Hand
,
in
acknowledgment
of
so
great
a
Favour
.
That
Night
the
Champion
takes
leave
of
the
Infanta
at
the
Iron
Grate
before
her
Chamber
Window
looking
into
the
Garden
,
by
means
of
a
Confident
of
the
Infanta's
,
that
carries
on
the
Intrigue
between
'
em
.
The
Knight
weeps
,
the
Lady
swoons
,
the
Confident
runs
for
cold
Water
to
dash
in
her
Face
.
Then
she
comes
to
Life
again
,
and
gives
out
her
Lilly
white
Hand
for
the
Knight
to
kiss
,
which
he
does
a
thousand
and
a
thousand
times
over
,
bathing
it
all
the
while
in
his
Tears
.
Then
exchanging
Hearts
,
the
Knight
shall
take
hers
,
and
the
Infanta
shall
take
his
;
for
her
Heart
shall
do
well
enough
in
his
breast
:
But
the
Infanta
will
want
his
,
considering
the
Sorrows
and
Afflictions
which
she
is
to
endure
for
his
sake
.
Then
they
shall
part
in
time
;
for
if
the
meeting
should
be
known
,
't
is
as
much
as
the
Lady
Confident's
place
is
worth
,
and
the
forfeiture
beside
of
the
Infanta
and
the
Knight's
Lives
.
Then
the
Infanta
shall
desire
the
Knight
not
to
miss
a
Post
,
but
to
write
to
her
as
often
as
he
can
;
which
the
Knight
shall
swear
to
perform
.
Then
the
Knight
shall
retire
to
his
Chamber
,
and
throw
himself
upon
his
Bed
,
where
it
shall
be
impossible
for
him
to
close
his
Eyes
.
So
soon
as
it
is
day
,
he
goes
to
take
his
leave
of
the
Queen
,
and
desires
to
kiss
the
Infanta's
Hands
too
;
but
she
sends
him
word
that
she
is
indispos'd
:
However
,
the
Knight
and
she
understand
one
another
,
and
so
that
passes
for
nothing
.
And
now
the
Knight
being
absent
for
some
time
,
Challenges
the
Kings
Enemies
;
fights
,
vanquishes
,
subdues
,
takes
I
know
not
how
many
Cities
,
wins
I
know
not
how
many
Battels
,
returns
to
Court
,
and
appears
before
his
Mistress
laden
with
Honour
.
He
visits
her
at
the
window-Grate
,
as
before
;
and
there
they
agree
together
that
the
Knight
shall
demand
her
in
Marriage
,
as
the
Recompence
of
his
Service
.
The
King
will
by
no
means
hear
with
that
Ear
,
not
knowing
but
that
the
Knight
may
be
the
Son
of
a
Costermonger
,
for
ought
he
knows
.
However
,
whether
the
Knight
steal
her
,
or
how
he
comes
by
her
,
I
know
not
,
the
Infanta
and
he
go
to
Dukes
Place
,
and
are
there
privately
marry'd
.
The
King
fumes
;
the
King
is
pleas'd
;
for
by
and
by
he
discovers
him
to
be
the
Son
of
as
great
a
Prince
,
no
Disparagement
to
him
,
as
himself
.
Then
Feastings
and
Triumphs
,
Tournaments
and
Tiltings
,
and
the
new-marry'd
Knight
carries
the
day
from
all
the
rest
.
Sometime
after
,
the
King
dies
,
the
Infanta
is
Heiress
;
and
thus
the
Knight
comes
to
be
a
King
.
Then
the
Knight
begins
to
think
of
rewarding
his
Squire
,
by
Marrying
him
to
the
Infanta's
Confident
,
who
had
been
privy
to
his
Amours
,
and
proves
the
Daughter
of
one
of
the
most
considerable
Dukes
i'
the
Kingdom
.
Godsniggers
,
quo
Sancho
,
that
's
the
thing
I
ha'
been
looking
for
all
this
while
—
Give
me
but
the
Infanta's
Gentlewoman
,
and
let
the
World
go
which
way
it
will
.
O'
my
Soul
,
Sir
,
you
have
read
your
own
Destiny
;
every
thing
will
happen
to
ye
step
by
step
,
as
you
have
stated
the
matter
,
would
you
but
take
upon
ye
the
Name
of
the
Knight
of
the
Ill-favour'd
Countenance
.
No
question
of
it
,
Boy
,
reply'd
Don
Quixote
;
for
this
is
the
direct
Road
of
Knight-Errantry
,
as
straight
as
ye
can
lay
a
line
,
to
Empires
and
Kingdoms
.
And
therefore
we
have
nothing
more
to
do
,
but
to
find
out
some
Potent
Prince
,
that
is
at
War
with
his
Neighbours
,
and
has
a
fair
Daughter
.
But
there
is
one
thing
that
troubles
me
more
then
that
,
which
is
a
Secret
between
thee
and
me
;
that
is
to
say
,
when
I
have
found
out
a
Prince
and
an
Infanta
,
how
the
Devil
I
shall
make
my self
out
to
be
of
an
Illustrious
Descent
,
if
it
were
but
the
Natural
Son
of
some
Emperor
.
For
unless
I
make
out
one
of
these
two
things
,
the
King
will
as
soon
give
me
a
Halter
,
as
his
Daughter
,
tho
I
should
out-do
Hercules
himself
;
and
is
it
not
great
pity
a
man
should
lose
such
vast
Advantages
for
such
a
Trifle
as
this
?
That
I
am
a
Gentleman
,
and
of
an
Ancient
Pedigree
,
is
well
known
;
and
there
are
Heralds
,
if
a
Man
could
meet
with
'em
,
that
for
a
small
Sum
of
Money
would
soon
make
me
the
fifth
or
sixth
at
least
in
Descent
from
a
King
.
For
,
Sancho
,
there
are
two
sorts
of
Originals
.
Some
there
are
who
Descended
at
first
from
the
Loyns
of
Princes
,
whose
Families
by
Conquest
,
loss
of
their
Territories
,
and
other
Malignities
of
Fortune
,
became
obscure
,
till
at
last
they
end
in
a
point
like
a
Pyramid
.
Others
there
are
,
who
from
mean
and
low
Descents
,
still
mount
and
mount
,
till
at
length
they
come
to
sit
upon
the
highest
Pinacles
of
Grandeur
.
That
is
to
say
,
some
were
what
they
are
not
;
and
others
are
not
what
they
were
.
And
thus
,
tho
I
am
not
what
I
was
,
yet
if
I
am
what
I
was
not
,
it
might
be
sufficient
to
content
any
Father-in-law
i'
the
World
.
And
what
if
I
were
the
Son
of
a
Tankard-Bearer
,
if
the
Infanta
be
so
desperately
in
Love
with
me
,
that
she
Marries
me
in
spight
of
her
Fathers
teeth
?
Or
if
she
stand
upon
her
Punctilio's
,
't
is
but
hurrying
away
in
a
Coach
and
Six
,
and
carrying
her
out
of
reach
,
till
Time
or
Death
shall
put
an
end
to
the
Persecutions
of
my
Father-in-law
.
In
good
sooth
,
Sir
,
reply'd
Sancho
,
you
speak
like
a
Man
of
Sense
;
Possession
is
nine
Points
o'
the
Law
:
And
it
is
a
Proverb
among
your
Bully-Rocks
,
Never
seek
that
by
fair
means
,
which
thou
canst
get
by
foul
.
Nor
is
it
Prudence
for
a
Man
to
stay
,
till
his
Breech
lies
upon
the
ground
between
two
Stools
.
So
that
if
the
King
your
Father-in-law
refuse
to
let
ye
have
his
Daughter
with
free
consent
,
as
your
Lordship
observes
very
well
,
you
ought
in
plain
English
to
run
away
with
her
.
All
the
mischief
that
I
fear
is
only
this
,
that
while
you
are
making
your
Peace
with
your
Father-in-law
,
or
expecting
his
death
,
the
poor
Squire
shall
be
at
a
loss
how
to
set
his
Grinders
at
work
;
and
perhaps
shall
be
forc'd
to
starve
in
the
midst
of
his
vast
Expectations
.
And
yet
,
if
the
Lady-Confident
will
but
be
so
kind
as
to
run
away
with
the
Infanta
,
I
know
no
reason
but
the
Knight
may
make
up
the
Match
without
any
more
ado
.
There
's
no
doubt
on
't
,
reply'd
Don
Quixote
.
Why
then
let
the
Bowl
run
,
who
knows
but
that
it
may
hit
the
Jack
,
quo
Sancho
.
Why
then
,
quo
Don
Quixote
,
let
me
ha'
my
wishes
,
and
thou
thy
desires
,
and
hang
up
all
tender
Consciences
.
Why
truly
,
quo
Sancho
,
I
am
a
wet
Christian
,
and
is
not
that
enough
for
a
Lord
?
And
more
then
enough
too
,
quo
Don
Quixote
;
for
suppose
thou
wert
no
Christian
at
all
,
being
a
King
,
I
could
make
thee
a
Lord
when
I
please
;
and
then
Men
must
call
thee
Right
Honourable
with
their
Lips
,
what
ere
they
think
i'
their
Hearts
.
Well
,
Sir
,
quo
Sancho
,
then
I
beseech
ye
get
you
to
be
a
King
,
and
make
me
a
Lord
,
and
you
shall
see
I
'le
shave
my
Beard
,
and
become
my
Place
as
well
as
the
proudest
Upstart
of
'em
all
.
At
the
end
of
this
Discourse
,
Don
Quixote
casting
up
his
Eyes
,
beheld
a
sight
,
which
produced
the
following
Adventure
.
CHAP.
VIII
.
How
Don
Quixote
releas'd
a
great
number
of
miserable
Wretches
which
their
Masters
were
driving
to
a
place
against
their
wills
.
THE
Great
Cid
Hamet
Benengeli
,
the
Famous
Arabian
and
Manchegan
Author
,
reports
in
his
grave
,
lofty
,
pleasant
,
merry-conceited
Story
,
that
after
the
long
and
learned
Discourse
between
Sancho
and
his
Master
,
Don
Quixote
lifting
up
his
Eyes
,
saw
to
the
number
of
about
twenty
Persons
,
all
in
a
row
one
behind
another
,
like
Beads
upon
a
string
,
who
being
link't
together
,
with
every
one
a
Sausage
of
Iron
about
his
Neck
,
and
manacl'd
to
boot
,
came
saunter
,
saunter
along
,
till
they
met
each
other
full
butt
.
They
were
also
guarded
by
two
Harquebusiers
a
Horse-back
,
and
two
Men
armed
with
Swords
and
Javelins
.
So
soon
as
Sancho
spy'd
'em
,
What
have
we
got
here
,
quo
he
?
o'
my
Life
,
a
company
of
Rogues
condemn'd
and
forc'd
to
the
Gallies
.
How
,
forc'd
,
quo
Don
Quixote
?
Can
the
King
offer
violence
to
any
Man
?
I
mean
,
Sir
,
quo
Sancho
,
Fellows
Condemn'd
for
their
Crimes
to
serve
the
King
in
his
Gallies
.
However
,
quo
Don
Quixote
,
in
that
sence
they
are
forc'd
,
because
they
do
not
go
of
their
own
free-Will
.
That
,
I
dare
swear
they
don't
,
quo
Sancho
.
If
it
be
so
,
quo
Don
Quixote
,
then
they
come
within
the
Verge
of
my
Profession
,
which
is
,
to
prevent
Violence
,
and
succour
the
Miserable
.
What
then
,
Sir
,
quo
Sancho
,
you
cannot
reckon
these
Fellows
to
be
Oppress'd
,
that
are
Condemn'd
by
the
Law
and
Justice
.
By
that
time
the
Chain
drew
near
,
and
then
Don
Quixote
in
very
civil
Language
desir'd
the
Guards
to
inform
him
,
why
the
poor
People
were
so
severely
Chain'd
and
Fetter'd
?
Sir
,
answer'd
one
of
the
Horse-men
,
these
are
Criminals
going
to
serve
the
King
in
his
Gallies
;
which
is
all
I
know
,
nor
do
I
think
it
proper
for
you
to
know
any
more
.
However
,
reply'd
Don
Quixote
,
I
think
you
will
highly
oblige
me
,
to
let
me
inform
my self
from
every
particular
Person
,
of
the
cause
of
his
Misfortune
.
Why
,
Sir
,
quo
t'
other
Horse-man
,
if
you
think
fit
to
Examine
'em
your self
,
you
'l
find
they
'l
give
ye
Satisfaction
;
for
they
are
such
honest
People
,
they
are
not
ashamed
to
boast
of
their
Rogueries
.
With
this
good
leave
,
which
Don
Quixote
would
have
taken
of
himself
,
had
they
deny'd
him
,
he
rode
up
to
the
Chain
,
and
ask'd
the
first
,
Wherefore
he
was
so
severely
loaded
?
To
whom
the
Fellow
made
answer
,
't
was
for
being
in
Love
.
In
Love
!
quo
Don
Quixote
—
and
is
that
all
?
Bodikins
!
if
all
that
were
in
Love
,
were
to
be
thus
punish'd
,
I
had
row'd
i'
the
Gallies
long
before
this
.
I
do
not
mean
,
quo
the
Pris'ner
,
as
you
mean
.
't
was
for
being
in
love
with
a
Hamper
of
Linnen
;
with
which
I
was
so
in
love
,
that
had
not
the
Judges
of
the
Sessions
tak'n
it
from
me
,
I
had
hugg'd
it
i'
my
Embraces
to
this
hour
.
In
short
,
I
was
tak'n
in
the
Fact
;
there
was
no
need
of
Proofs
:
I
was
Condemn'd
,
had
my
shoulders
powder'd
with
Whip-cord
Spots
,
and
when
I
have
mow'd
the
great
Meadow
for
three
Years
together
,
then
my
Work
's
done
What
d'
ye
mean
by
mowing
the
great
Meadow
?
Why
,
that
's
rowing
i'
the
Gallies
,
reply'd
the
Slave
,
who
was
a
young
Rogue
of
about
four
and
twenty
Years
of
Age
.
Then
Don
Quixote
put
the
same
Question
to
the
Second
,
who
was
so
melancholly
,
that
he
would
not
make
any
Answer
.
But
the
first
Slip-string
undertaking
to
be
his
Spokesman
,
to
spare
him
a
Labour
;
This
,
said
he
,
is
a
Canary-Mere-maid
,
that
goes
to
the
Gallies
for
having
sung
too
much
.
How
!
quo
Don
Quixote
—
What
do
they
send
Musicians
to
the
Gallies
too
?
Yes
,
Sir
,
answer'd
the
Slave
,
because
there
is
nothing
more
dangerous
,
then
to
sing
in
Affliction
.
How
!
quo
Don
Quixote
,
that
's
contrary
to
the
Proverb
,
And
some
for
Sorrow
sing
.
Oh
,
Sir
!
quo
the
Slave
,
't
is
quite
otherwise
with
us
;
he
that
sings
,
shall
weep
all
his
life-time
afterwards
.
I
profess
,
quo
Don
Quixote
,
I
do
not
understand
ye
.
Sir
,
said
one
of
the
Guards
,
singing
among
these
Newgate-birds
,
is
tak'n
for
confessing
at
the
Rack
.
This
fellow
was
put
to
the
Rack
,
and
confess'd
his
Crime
,
which
was
nothing
but
Horse
stealing
;
and
because
he
sung
,
that
is
confess'd
,
he
is
condemn'd
to
the
Gallies
for
six
years
,
besides
a
hundred
Lashes
paid
him
down
upon
the
Nail
in
ready
Cash
.
And
the
reason
why
you
see
that
Fellow
so
melancholly
,
and
cast
down
,
is
only
because
his
Companions
will
never
let
him
be
at
rest
,
but
jeer
and
laugh
at
him
continually
for
his
want
of
Resolution
to
suffer
and
deny
;
as
if
it
had
not
been
as
easie
for
him
to
have
said
No
,
as
Yes
:
Or
,
as
if
a
Criminal
were
not
a
happy
Man
that
could
depend
upon
his
own
Tongue
to
save
his
Life
,
without
being
beholding
to
Counter-proofs
and
Witnesses
for
the
Prisoner
.
Thence
Don
Quixote
passing
to
the
Third
;
and
You
,
said
he
,
What
have
you
done
?
Who
,
without
much
Entreaty
,
and
no
less
merry
in
his
Answer
;
I
,
Sir
,
go
to
the
Gallies
for
want
of
ten
Guinies
.
I
would
give
twenty
with
all
my
Heart
,
quo
Don
Quixote
,
to
see
thee
well
discharg'd
.
't
is
too
late
,
Gaffer
,
quo
the
Slave
,
't
is
just
like
the
Proverb
,
After
Meat
comes
Mustard
.
Had
I
had
the
twenty
Guinies
you
offer
me
,
when
I
was
in
Prison
,
to
have
greas'd
the
Keeper
of
Newgate's
Fist
,
I
might
have
been
walking
now
upon
the
Change
as
free
as
a
Turky-Merchant
,
and
ne're
ha'
come
to
have
been
led
along
in
a
String
like
an
Irish-Grey-hound
.
But
Patience
;
every
thing
has
its
Season
.
From
him
Don
Quixote
turn'd
to
the
Fourth
,
and
put
him
the
same
Interrogatory
.
But
he
was
sullen
,
and
would
give
him
no
Answer
;
so
that
the
next
behind
him
was
forc'd
to
lend
him
his
Tongue
.
This
venerable
Monsieur
Grey-beard
,
said
he
,
is
condemn'd
to
the
Gallies
for
four
Years
,
having
already
stood
at
Westminster
,
Temple-bar
,
and
Cheapside
,
with
a
wooden
Ruff
about
his
Neck
.
He
was
the
chief
Ranger
of
Whetston's-Park
;
besides
that
,
he
had
a
smack
of
Conjuring
and
Fortune-telling
,
which
he
abus'd
to
the
loss
of
many
a
Maiden-head
.
For
that
I
have
nothing
to
say
,
quo
Don
Quixote
;
but
had
he
been
only
a
private
Conveyer
of
Billet-Doux's
,
he
ought
not
to
go
to
the
Gallies
,
unless
it
were
to
be
General
of
the
Fleet
.
For
to
be
a
Messenger
of
Billet-Doux's
requires
a
great
deal
of
Prudence
and
Sagacity
;
o'
my
word
,
't
is
a
weighty
Employment
,
not
to
be
committed
to
idle
Huswives
,
Lacquies
,
and
rascally
People
;
as
being
an
Employment
of
Trust
and
Weight
,
then
which
there
can
be
nothing
more
necessary
in
a
well-regulated
Common-wealth
.
So
that
I
should
have
been
heartily
sorry
to
see
this
venerable
Seer
in
such
Distress
,
for
being
a
Pimp
only
,
had
it
not
been
for
criminal
Additions
of
Conjurer
,
and
Fortune-teller
;
tho
I
do
not
believe
that
Charms
and
Spells
have
any
Power
to
alter
the
Will
,
whatever
a
Company
of
silly
ignorant
People
think
;
for
Man
has
a
Liberty
of
Determination
,
no
way
to
be
controul'd
by
the
force
of
Herbs
or
Enchantments
.
't
is
very
true
,
reply'd
the
Old
Man
,
and
as
to
my
Charge
of
being
a
Witch
or
Sorcerer
,
I
am
as
innocent
as
the
Child
unborn
;
but
as
for
the
Business
of
Pimping
,
I
do
not
deny
it
;
but
I
never
took
it
to
be
a
Crime
,
for
my
Intention
was
,
that
People
should
enjoy
each
other's
Society
,
and
live
in
Friendship
one
with
another
.
But
my
harmless
Design
has
serv'd
me
to
no
other
Purpose
,
then
to
send
me
to
a
Place
from
whence
I
shall
never
return
,
considering
my
Age
;
besides
that
,
I
am
tormented
with
the
Strangury
to
boot
.
And
having
so
said
,
the
poor
Old
Man
fell
o'
weeping
;
which
melted
Sancho's
Heart
in
such
a
manner
,
that
he
out
with
his
Pouch
,
and
gave
him
a
Harry-Groat
.
Then
Don
Quixote
examin'd
the
Fifth
,
who
seem'd
to
be
nothing
at
all
concern'd
.
I
go
to
serve
his
Majesty
,
said
he
,
for
my
Kindness
only
to
two
of
my
Cousin-germans
,
and
two
other
Maidens
that
were
both
Sisters
.
By
which
means
I
have
encreas'd
my
Stock
,
and
so
intrigu'd
my
Issue
,
that
I
have
puzl'd
all
the
Casuists
about
the
Town
.
The
Fact
was
prov'd
upon
me
,
and
therefore
having
neither
Friends
nor
Money
,
I
am
condemn'd
to
the
Gallies
for
six
Years
.
If
your
Worship
pleases
to
bestow
something
upon
poor
Sinners
,
the
Lord
,
we
hope
,
will
reward
ye
in
Heav'n
;
besides
that
,
when
do
pray
,
we
shall
be
sure
to
pray
for
your
long
Life
and
Health
.
Behind
there
came
a
young
Fellow
of
about
thirty
Years
of
Age
,
well
proportion'd
,
and
well-favour'd
,
only
that
he
squinted
with
one
Eye
.
He
was
cruelly
hamper'd
with
Fetters
upon
his
Feet
,
Manacles
about
his
Wrists
,
and
a
Collar
,
but
not
of
SS's
,
about
his
Neck
.
This
was
a
Rogue
,
that
no
Goal
,
no
Fetters
would
hold
.
For
a
Wager
he
would
anoint
his
Heel
with
a
Candle's
End
,
and
slip
off
his
Shackles
with
as
much
ease
as
Parson
Slip-stockin's
Boy
pull'd
off
his
Father's
Hose
;
and
besides
that
,
he
goes
by
more
Names
,
then
the
Great
Turk
has
Titles
.
What
's
his
Crime
all
this
while
,
quo
Don
Quixote
?
Sir
Knight
,
quo
the
young
Rogue
,
if
you
have
any
mind
to
give
us
any
thing
,
do
it
quickly
,
and
God
have
ye
in
his
Protection
;
for
this
Curiosity
of
yours
does
but
hinder
us
.
Prethee
,
Friend
,
What
's
thy
Name
,
quo
Don
Quixote
?
Name
,
Sir
!
why
,
don't
they
tell
you
I
have
twenty
?
Sometimes
Dangerfield
,
sometimes
Willoughby
,
sometimes
Monmouth
,
as
the
Design
will
bear
.
If
you
desire
to
know
more
,
you
may
read
my
Life
,
't
is
printed
legible
enough
to
be
read
;
and
I
think
it
out-does
Lazarillo
de
Tormes
,
or
Gusman
either
.
Thou
seem'st
to
be
a
witty
Rogue
,
quo
Don
Quixote
:
You
should
have
said
,
unfortunate
also
,
reply'd
the
Slave
;
for
Misfortune
always
persecutes
the
Ingenious
.
You
mean
such
Rogues
as
your self
,
quo
the
Jailor
.
Fair
and
softly
,
quo
the
Slave
to
the
Jailor
,
the
Law
did
not
give
you
Authority
over
us
to
abuse
us
,
but
only
to
guard
us
where
the
King
has
occasion
for
us
.
Come
,
come
,
be
not
so
haughty
;
for
by
the
Life
of
Pharaoh
,
the
time
may
come
,
when
your
Pranks
may
come
to
light
,
that
—
you
know
what
I
mean
.
Upon
which
the
Jailor
held
up
his
Cane
to
have
thrash'd
the
Slave
,
but
Don
Quixote
interposing
,
would
by
no
means
permit
him
;
telling
the
Jailor
,
that
he
could
not
blame
the
Slave
for
making
use
of
his
Tongue
,
since
he
had
ne're
another
Member
at
liberty
.
And
then
addressing
himself
to
all
the
Slaves
in
general
:
Dearly
beloved
Brethren
,
said
he
,
by
what
I
gather
from
your
own
Words
,
I
clearly
find
,
that
tho
you
are
justly
condemn'd
to
deserv'd
Punishment
for
the
several
Crimes
you
have
committed
;
however
that
you
suffer
Execution
of
the
Sentence
by
Constraint
,
and
because
you
cannot
help
it
:
That
is
to
say
,
by
your
good
Wills
you
had
rather
eat
Partridges
,
drink
Pontack
,
lie
warm
,
and
kiss
a
handsom
Girl
in
a
Corner
,
then
row
i'
the
Gallies
;
why
,
then
know
,
That
you
fall
under
my
Protection
;
for
as
I
am
a
profess'd
Knight-Errant
,
it
is
my
Duty
to
relieve
the
Distressed
,
and
set
at
Liberty
the
Oppressed
.
But
because
it
is
the
part
of
a
prudent
Man
to
shun
Violence
,
where
things
may
be
carry'd
by
fair
means
,
I
desire
ye
,
good
Mr.
Jailor
,
and
you
Gentlemen
o'
the
Guard
,
to
release
these
poor
Creatures
,
there
being
enow
to
serve
his
Majesty
in
their
Rooms
;
for
I
must
tell
ye
,
my
Masters
,
't
is
a
hard
case
to
make
Slaves
of
Men
that
were
born
free
.
And
I
the
rather
desire
this
Courtesie
of
ye
,
Mr.
Bumms
,
in
the
behalf
of
these
poor
Fellows
,
because
they
are
such
as
I
dare
say
,
never
did
you
any
wrong
i'
their
lives
.
And
therefore
let
'em
go
and
do
Penance
themselves
for
their
own
Sins
.
't
is
sufficient
that
Heav'n
takes
care
to
punish
the
Wicked
;
and
therefore
,
besides
that
it
is
needless
,
it
is
unchristian-like
for
Men
to
be
the
Butchers
and
Tormentors
one
of
another
.
Gentlemen
,
you
see
I
make
you
this
Request
with
all
the
mildness
and
Lenity
i'
the
World
,
and
I
shall
acknowledge
your
Kindness
,
if
you
will
grant
it
.
But
if
you
provoke
me
by
Refusal
,
this
Lance
,
this
Sword
,
and
this
Arm
of
mine
,
shall
force
ye
to
a
Compliance
.
Hoh
,
hoh
,
hoh
,
a
very
good
Jest
y'
faith
,
quo
the
Jailor
,
as
if
we
had
Power
to
set
at
liberty
the
King's
Prisoners
,
when
the
King's
Justice
commands
'em
to
condign
Punishment
!
March
on
,
Sir
,
about
your
Business
,
and
set
your
Bason
right
upon
your
empty
Pate
;
't
is
no
Business
of
yours
to
mind
whether
the
Cat
has
three
Feet
or
no
.
Y'e
are
a
Cat
,
and
a
Rat
,
and
a
Dog
to
boot
,
quo
Don
Quixote
,
and
at
the
same
time
attack'd
the
Jailor
with
such
a
sudden
,
and
unlook'd-for
Impetuosity
,
before
he
had
any
time
to
put
himself
into
a
Posture
of
Defence
,
that
he
over-threw
him
to
the
Ground
,
dangerously
wounded
with
his
Lance
.
The
Guards
,
astonish'd
at
an
Action
so
smart
and
unexpected
,
fell
all
in
a
Cluster
upon
D.
Quixote
,
with
their
Swords
and
their
Javelins
;
which
might
have
prov'd
somewhat
fatal
to
him
,
had
not
the
Slaves
,
finding
so
fit
an
Opportunity
to
regain
their
liberty
,
resolv'd
to
make
use
of
it
.
This
put
the
Guards
into
a
dreadful
Confusion
,
being
ferreted
o'
th'
one
side
,
without
Intermission
,
by
Don
Quixote
,
and
no
less
perplex'd
o'
t'
other
Hand
,
to
prevent
the
Prisoners
from
getting
loose
.
In
the
midst
of
this
Hurly-burly
,
the
Master-Crack-rope
having
knockt
off
his
Gives
by
Sancho's
Assistance
,
seiz'd
upon
the
Jailor's
Sword
,
and
his
Harquebuse
,
and
laid
about
him
so
couragiously
,
that
the
rest
,
disdaining
to
be
meer
Spectators
,
let
flie
such
Vollies
of
Stone-shot
at
the
Heads
of
their
Convoy
,
as
forc'd
'em
at
length
to
be
take
themselves
to
their
Heels
,
not
liking
the
Honour
of
a
Brick-bat
Monument
.
True
it
is
,
that
Sancho
was
right-glad
of
the
Victory
,
but
having
more
Wit
in
his
Anger
,
then
his
Master
,
and
fearing
lest
the
Bailiffs
should
raise
a
Posse
Com
.
upon
the
victorious
Champion
,
his
Joy
turn'd
into
Melancholy
,
and
his
Melancholy
inspiring
him
with
Prudence
,
he
advis'd
his
Master
to
get
out
of
the
way
as
fast
as
he
could
,
and
hide
himself
in
the
Mountains
adjoining
—
For
,
said
he
,
as
sure
as
we
live
,
those
Sons
o'
Whores
,
Bailiffs
,
will
be
at
our
Tails
again
in
a
short
time
,
with
a
Hue
and
Cry
,
and
then
our
next
Adventure
will
be
to
hold
up
our
Hands
at
the
Bar
,
and
be
sent
to
the
Gallies
our selves
.
Thy
Advice
is
wholesome
,
quo
Don
Quixote
.
But
for
the
present
,
Business
of
Consequence
is
first
to
be
dispatch'd
;
and
at
the
same
instant
,
calling
to
him
all
the
Slaves
,
who
by
this
time
had
stripp'd
the
Jailor
to
his
Skin
,
and
now
made
a
Ring
about
the
Knight
to
know
his
Pleasure
,
It
is
the
part
of
Persons
well
bred
,
and
endu'd
with
Vertue
,
quo
he
,
to
acknowledge
the
Benefits
they
receive
;
Ingratitude
being
the
blackest
of
all
Vices
.
You
see
how
far
I
have
hazarded
my
Person
for
your
Sakes
;
and
you
cannot
but
understand
how
much
you
are
beholding
to
me
for
what
I
have
done
.
The
thing
therefore
that
I
require
from
you
,
in
return
of
my
Kindness
,
is
only
this
,
That
you
take
that
same
Chain
,
from
which
I
have
set
your
Heels
at
liberty
,
and
carry
it
upon
your
Shoulders
to
the
City
of
Toboso
;
where
you
must
in
that
Posture
present
your selves
before
the
matchless
Madam
Dulcinea
,
and
tell
her
,
That
her
Slave
,
the
Knight
of
the
Ill-favour'd
Countenance
presents
her
his
most
humble
Service
;
and
recount
to
her
,
word
for
word
,
the
whole
Story
of
this
famous
Atchievement
,
by
which
you
have
,
through
my
Valour
,
obtain'd
your
Freedom
.
To
which
the
Master-Rogue
,
as
Spokesman
for
all
the
rest
,
returning
Answer
;
Sir
Knight
,
and
Soveraign
Deliverer
,
said
he
,
it
is
a
thing
impossible
for
us
to
obey
your
Commands
.
For
we
dare
not
appear
in
that
Condition
,
as
you
require
us
,
All-together
,
for
fear
of
being
known
again
;
rather
we
must
part
several
Ways
,
and
study
to
disguise
our selves
,
with
all
the
Ingenuity
that
may
be
,
to
avoid
the
Pursuit
of
Hue
and
Cries
,
well
knowing
the
Danger
of
being
re-tak'n
.
And
therefore
it
would
be
more
just
and
safe
in
you
,
to
change
the
Form
of
the
Tribute
,
which
we
owe
to
the
Lady
Dulcinea
,
into
an
Imposition
upon
our
Consciences
of
so
many
Ave
Maries
,
Creeds
,
and
other
Prayers
,
which
we
shall
be
ready
most
willingly
,
and
with
Ease
to
discharge
,
in
return
of
the
Obligation
you
have
laid
upon
us
.
And
this
may
be
done
by
Night
or
by
Day
,
sleeping
or
waking
,
in
Flight
,
or
out
of
Danger
,
in
Peace
,
or
in
War
.
But
to
think
we
will
return
to
Egyptian
Diet
,
and
carry
our
Chains
to
Toboso
,
you
may
as
well
believe
,
that
we
can
gather
Pears
from
an
Elm-Tree
.
By
the
Beauty
of
my
Mother
,
Sir
Son
of
a
Whore
,
quo
Don
Quixote
,
you
shall
go
alone
and
carry
that
Chain
upon
your
noble
Shoulders
,
with
all
the
Shackles
and
Furniture
belonging
to
it
,
or
else
I
'le
make
ye
eat
the
Chain
.
The
Slave
,
who
had
not
learnt
much
Christian
Patience
by
his
Sufferings
,
and
began
to
smell
Don
Quixote's
want
of
Wit
,
could
not
chuse
but
smile
at
the
Champion's
idle
Threats
;
and
therefore
tipping
the
Wink
upon
his
Companions
,
presently
,
like
Men
that
understood
Signs
,
they
hurl'd
whole
Quarries
at
a
time
at
Don
Quixote's
Pate
,
and
pelted
him
so
severely
,
that
he
could
neither
secure
himself
with
his
Shield
,
nor
intreat
Rosinante
so
much
as
to
wag
a
Limb
,
no
more
then
if
he
had
been
only
the
Statue
of
a
Horse
;
insomuch
that
about
five
or
six
hard
Flints
,
lighting
upon
his
Reins
,
threw
him
out
of
his
Saddle
to
the
Ground
.
At
what
time
one
of
the
ingrateful
Slaves
among
the
rest
,
took
off
the
Bason
from
his
Head
,
knockt
him
with
it
about
the
Shoulders
,
and
then
gave
it
so
many
Knocks
against
the
Stones
,
that
he
almost
broke
it
in
pieces
.
This
done
,
they
stripp'd
the
poor
Knight
of
the
Coat
which
he
wore
over
his
Armour
,
and
had
robb'd
him
of
his
Breeches
,
had
not
his
Greaves
and
Pully-pieces
prevented
'
em
.
And
to
the
end
they
might
not
do
their
business
by
halves
,
they
eas'd
Sancho
of
his
Parson's
Cassock
,
which
he
had
turn'd
into
a
Wallet
,
and
uncas'd
him
to
his
Shirt
.
Which
done
,
and
the
Spoils
all
justly
and
honestly
divided
,
they
shifted
every
one
for
himself
,
more
careful
to
avoid
the
Constable's
Clutches
,
then
of
their
Duty
to
Madam
Dulcinea
.
As
for
the
Ass
,
Rosinante
,
Sancho
,
and
Don
Quixote
,
't
is
true
,
they
remain'd
Masters
of
the
Field
,
but
in
an
ill
Condition
;
the
Ass
hanging
his
head
,
and
shaking
his
Ears
,
as
if
Brick-bats
had
still
buzz'd
about
his
Noddle
:
Rosinante
lying
at
his
full
length
i'
the
Dust
,
and
ready
to
make
his
Will
:
Sancho
in
deadly
fear
of
pursuing
Black-bills
and
Pitch-forks
:
and
Don
Quixote
biting
his
Nails
to
see
himself
so
villainously
abus'd
by
Rogues
and
Thieves
,
for
whom
he
had
so
villainously
ventur'd
his
Neck
.
CHAP.
IX
.
What
befell
the
famous
Don
Quixote
in
the
Mountain
of
Sierra
Morena
,
which
was
one
of
the
strangest
Adventures
in
all
this
Real
History
.
DOn
Quixote
finding
himself
so
ill
repay'd
,
quo
he
to
his
Squire
,
I
have
often
heard
say
,
Sancho
,
Save
a
Thief
from
the
Gallows
,
and
he
'l
be
the
first
that
shall
hang
his
Benefactor
,
if
he
can
.
Had
I
follow'd
thy
Advice
,
I
had
avoided
this
Misfortune
;
but
't
is
done
,
and
there
's
no
Remedy
but
Patience
,
and
let
's
be
wiser
for
the
future
.
That
is
to
say
,
reply'd
Sancho
,
when
I
turn
Turk
—
But
since
you
repent
for
not
following
my
Counsel
,
pray
believe
me
once
more
;
for
in
one
word
as
well
as
in
a
thousand
,
I
must
tell
ye
,
your
Quorum
Justices
care
no
more
for
all
the
Knights-Errant
i'
the
World
,
then
for
a
dead
Sprat
.
Hark
—
me-thinks
I
hear
the
Halberdeers
,
and
the
Crewel-fring'd
Pike-staves
at
my
heels
already
.
Thou
art
a
Coward
by
Nature
,
reply'd
Don
Quixote
;
however
,
because
thou
shalt
not
say
I
am
always
obstinate
,
I
will
avoid
this
terrible
Hue
and
Cry
for
once
;
but
upon
this
Condition
,
That
thou
never
tell
any
person
,
that
I
avoided
Danger
,
out
of
Fear
,
but
only
at
thy
Request
,
and
meerly
to
do
thee
a
Kindness
.
If
thou
say'st
otherwise
,
thou
ly'st
;
and
from
this
time
forth
to
that
time
forth
,
and
from
that
time
forth
to
the
World's
end
,
I
give
thee
the
Lye
,
and
thou
ly'st
and
shalt
lye
i'
thy
Throat
,
if
ever
thou
say'st
the
Contrary
.
For
did
I
believe
thou
thought'st
that
I
withdrew
my self
out
of
Danger
,
or
fearing
the
Fraternity
of
the
Quorum
Justices
,
as
thou
call'st
'em
,
I
would
abide
here
till
the
Day
of
Judgment
,
in
Defiance
,
not
only
of
them
,
but
of
the
Twelve
Heads
of
the
Tribes
of
Israel
,
the
Seven
Macchabees
,
Castor
and
Pollux
,
and
all
the
Brotherhoods
and
Fraternities
i'
the
World
.
Having
so
said
,
Don
Quixote
remounted
his
Rosinante
(
who
had
always
that
good
Faculty
,
that
he
was
not
long
before
he
came
to
himself
,
whatever
Misfortune
befell
him
)
and
Sancho
bestriding
his
Ass
,
lead
the
way
to
the
Black
Mountain
,
call'd
Sierra
Morena
,
through
the
Crafty
Squire's
Design
,
to
lurk
in
the
craggy
,
and
inaccessible
Retreats
of
that
Mountain
,
till
the
heat
of
Pursuit
were
over
;
which
he
was
the
rather
enclin'd
to
do
,
as
finding
all
his
Belly-timber
safe
;
a
Miracle
to
be
admir'd
,
considering
how
exact
those
Caitiffs
were
in
their
privy
Searches
.
By
Midnight
our
Advecturers
got
to
the
middle
,
and
most
desart
part
of
Sierra
Morena
,
where
Sancho
advis'd
his
Master
to
stay
for
some
time
,
at
least
,
so
long
as
their
Provisions
lasted
;
and
so
that
Night
they
took
up
their
Lodging
between
two
Rocks
over-spread
with
Cork-trees
.
But
Fatal
Fortune
,
who
,
according
to
the
Opinion
of
those
that
walk
not
according
to
to
the
light
within
'em
,
governs
all
things
by
their
own
Humour
,
so
order'd
it
,
That
that
same
Master-Thief
,
Ring-leader
to
all
the
rest
,
who
had
been
so
grateful
to
the
Knight
for
their
Liberty
,
having
made
choice
of
those
Covertures
to
escape
the
Hands
of
Justice
,
happen'd
just
into
the
place
where
Sancho
and
his
Master
had
tak'n
up
their
Lodgings
;
and
knowing
'em
by
their
Tongues
,
was
so
civil
as
not
to
disturb
their
rest
by
no
means
:
But
finding
Sancho's
Ass
opportunely
pannell'd
and
halter'd
for
his
Convenience
,
ill
Nature
,
a
Roguish
Disposition
,
and
Necessity
together
,
so
wrought
upon
him
,
that
he
very
honestly
spirited
away
the
Ass
,
and
made
such
haste
,
that
before
day
he
was
got
quite
out
of
the
Reach
of
Rosinante's
Pursuit
.
But
no
sooner
had
the
fair
Aurora
begun
to
smile
upon
the
Hills
,
and
with
her
refreshing
Beams
to
bless
the
Surface
of
the
Earth
,
when
Sancho
,
to
his
unspeakable
grief
,
miss'd
the
Delight
of
his
Soul
,
and
Comfort
of
his
Life
,
his
beloved
Ass.
He
made
such
doleful
Complaints
,
and
such
pitiful
Moans
,
that
Don
Quixote
waking
,
heard
him
thus
expressing
his
unsupportable
Woes
.
Dear
Off
spring
of
my
Bowels
!
quo
he
,
born
and
bred
under
my
Roof
,
my
Childrens
only
Play-fellow
,
the
Delight
of
my
Wife
,
the
Envy
of
my
Neighbours
,
and
the
Staff
of
my
laborious
Life
!
In
a
word
,
the
Maintainer
of
half
my
Family
;
for
with
Ten-pence
which
thou
earned'st
me
every
day
,
didst
thou
defray
the
half
of
my
Expences
.
Don
Quixote
,
divining
by
his
Lamentations
at
the
Cause
of
Sancho's
Sorrow
,
endeavour'd
to
comfort
him
with
soft
and
tender
Expressions
,
and
learned
Discourses
upon
the
Misfortunes
of
this
World
.
But
nothing
wrought
so
kindly
with
Sancho
,
as
a
Bill
of
Exchange
,
which
his
Master
promis'd
him
,
for
his
Wife
to
take
three
Asses
out
of
five
,
which
he
had
at
home
.
Sancho
not
being
able
to
withstand
an
Argument
so
powerful
,
dry'd
up
his
Tears
,
put
a
Stop
to
his
Sighs
and
Sobbs
,
and
return'd
his
Master
a
thousand
Thanks
for
so
generous
a
Favour
.
On
the
other
side
,
Don
Quixote
being
not
a
little
refresh'd
with
the
Sleep
he
had
got
,
and
calling
to
mind
the
strange
Adventures
which
Knights-Errants
had
met
with
in
Desarts
and
Solitudes
,
was
over
joy'd
to
find
himself
in
the
midst
of
those
Mountains
,
believing
they
would
afford
him
sufficient
Occasions
to
exercise
his
Prowess
.
But
Sancho's
Thoughts
were
otherwise
employ'd
;
for
now
believing
himself
quite
out
of
Danger
,
made
frequent
Visits
to
the
Wallet
,
which
Rosinante
now
was
forc'd
to
carry
,
and
following
his
Master
,
set
his
Grinders
a
walking
much
faster
then
his
Feet
.
As
thus
they
leisurely
pac'd
it
along
,
Sancho
observ'd
that
his
Master
stoop'd
in
his
Saddle
to
take
up
something
with
the
end
of
his
Javelin
;
which
he
not
being
able
readily
to
do
in
his
Saddle
,
Sancho
ran
with
great
Diligence
to
help
him
.
Upon
which
,
his
Master
commanding
him
to
take
it
up
,
they
found
it
to
be
a
Portmanteau
,
in
a
very
ill
plight
by
reason
of
the
Weather
,
but
somewhat
weighty
withal
.
Having
open'd
it
,
they
found
within
it
four
Holland-Shirts
,
with
other
Linen
,
clean
and
fashionable
,
and
in
another
Handkerchief
,
a
considerable
quantity
of
Gold
.
Bless'd
by
the
whole
Frame
of
Heav'n
,
quo
Sancho
,
for
sending
us
some
good
Luck
once
in
our
Lives
.
Searching
farther
,
they
found
a
Table-book
richly
bound
;
presently
,
quo
Don
Quixote
,
this
is
my
share
,
take
thee
the
Gold
,
Sancho
,
for
thy self
.
The
Lord
reward
ye
,
dear
Master
,
quo
Sancho
,
at
the
same
time
cramming
all
his
Booty
into
his
Wallet
.
Certainly
,
Sancho
,
quo
Don
Quixote
,
it
cannot
be
,
but
that
some
person
,
having
lost
his
way
in
these
Mountains
,
has
been
here
murder'd
,
and
thrown
into
some
hole
among
these
Rocks
.
That
cannot
be
,
reply'd
Sancho
,
for
had
they
been
Highway
Men
,
they
would
ne're
ha'
left
so
much
Booty
behind
.
Thou
speak'st
Reason
,
quo
Don
Quixote
,
and
therefore
must
see
if
we
can
discover
any
thing
out
of
these
Papers
.
Thereupon
,
after
a
small
Search
,
he
found
the
following
Verses
,
which
he
read
aloud
for
Sancho
to
hear
.
OR
Love
's
a
Blockhead
,
or
a
cruel
Jew
;
Or
else
I
feel
less
pain
then
is
my
Due
;
For
if
my
Pains
were
equal
to
the
Cause
,
They
would
be
worse
then
Tooth-ach
in
the
Jaws
.
But
if
Love
be
a
God
,
I
dare
to
swear
,
He
then
can
be
no
Fool
,
and
't
is
as
clear
,
No
God
can
cruel
be
;
then
would
I
know
What
Devil
sends
these
Pains
that
plague
me
so
?
Ah
Phillis
!
Is
it
thee
?
No
,
no
,
dear
Phillis
,
A
noble
Cause
ne're
breeds
Effect
,
that
ill
is
.
't
is
not
from
Heav'n
or
Thee
these
Plagues
proceed
,
But
I
must
die
,
for
so
has
Fate
decreed
.
Nay
,
I
must
die
for
Love
too
like
a
Sot
,
And
yet
that
's
neither
Love's
,
nor
yet
thy
Fault
.
Hard
Luck
of
mine
!
to
die
of
such
a
Wound
,
For
which
so
many
Med'cines
may
be
found
.
I
understand
nothing
by
this
,
quo
Sancho
.
That
's
strange
,
reply'd
Don
Quixote
;
for
't
is
plain
,
that
the
Author
of
this
Sonnet
,
is
,
or
was
in
love
;
and
that
his
Lady's
Name
was
Phillis
.
Puh
!
—
then
I
warrant
ye
,
Sir
,
't
is
your
old
Friend
Corydon
,
and
this
Corydon
is
run
mad
for
that
Phillis
,
and
has
lost
his
Cloak-bag
.
Pray
,
Sir
,
read
another
Paper
,
you
'l
find
it
as
I
say
.
Why
,
here
's
a
Letter
,
and
a
Love-letter
too
,
as
I
think
,
quo
Don
Quixote
.
Oh
,
good
Sir
!
read
it
out
,
cry'd
Sancho
,
for
I'
m
a
great
Admirer
of
Love-Letters
.
The
Falshood
of
your
Promises
,
and
my
Misfortune
,
of
which
I
have
now
no
more
Reason
to
doubt
,
have
carry'd
me
to
a
place
,
from
whence
thou
shalt
sooner
hear
the
News
of
my
Death
,
then
of
the
Cause
of
my
Complaints
.
Thou
hast
forsak'n
me
,
ungrateful
as
thou
art
,
for
one
more
wealthy
,
not
more
vertuous
then
thy self
.
Tho
if
Vertue
were
a
Treasure
to
be
esteem'd
,
I
should
have
no
reason
to
bewail
my
own
Misfortunes
,
nor
envy
the
Happiness
of
other
Men
.
What
thy
Actions
rais'd
,
thy
Beauty
has
pull'd
down
;
I
took
thee
for
an
Angel
,
but
find
thee
a
Woman
.
Farewel
,
Disturber
of
Peace
,
and
may
the
Perfidy
of
thy
Husband
never
come
to
light
,
lest
living
to
repent
the
Injustice
thou
hast
done
me
,
I
should
be
constrain'd
to
a
Revenge
that
I
never
design
.
The
Person
that
wrote
this
Letter
,
quo
Don
Quixote
,
was
a
betray'd
Lover
,
and
that
's
all
that
I
understand
;
which
made
him
the
more
inquisitive
after
the
rest
.
And
turning
over
the
remainder
of
the
Leaves
,
he
found
several
other
Letters
and
Verses
,
wherein
he
could
meet
with
nothing
,
however
,
but
Accusations
,
Complaints
,
Distrusts
,
and
Jealousies
,
Sorrow
and
Despair
,
Favours
and
Disdain
;
and
thence
he
concluded
,
That
the
Man
had
been
in
love
,
and
might
be
out
of
his
Wits
.
And
all
the
while
he
was
poring
in
the
Table-book
,
Sancho
was
romaging
the
Mail
,
and
the
Seat
of
the
Saddle
;
which
he
did
with
that
Exactness
,
that
he
left
not
a
Seam
unripp'd
,
nor
a
Lock
of
Wool
which
he
did
not
pull
to
pieces
with
his
Nails
:
Yet
such
was
his
Moderation
,
that
tho
he
found
no
more
,
yet
he
was
so
well
pleas'd
with
his
hundred
Crowns
in
Gold
,
already
in
safe
Custody
,
that
he
forgot
his
being
toss
d
in
a
Blanket
,
his
painful
strainings
,
and
Gripes
of
the
Balsom
;
the
Benedictions
of
the
Pack
staves
,
the
Thumps
of
the
Mule-driver
,
the
Loss
of
his
Wallet
and
Ass
,
as
believing
himself
well
paid
for
all
the
Hunger
and
Thirst
,
which
he
had
endur'd
in
his
Master's
Service
.
On
the
other
side
,
the
Champion
was
in
a
heavy
toss
to
know
who
was
the
owner
of
the
Portmantle
;
guessing
by
the
value
of
the
things
,
that
he
was
a
Person
of
worth
,
whom
the
disdain
and
scorn
of
his
Mistress
had
driv'n
to
despair
.
At
length
,
as
he
rode
along
,
wholly
tak'n
up
with
these
Considerations
,
and
follow'd
by
Sancho
over
Bryars
and
Thorns
,
he
espy'd
upon
the
top
of
a
stony
Cragg
that
was
before
him
,
a
Man
that
skipp'd
from
Rock
to
Rock
,
o're
the
Bushes
and
Thorns
,
as
nimbly
as
a
Cat-a-Mountain
:
He
seem'd
to
be
almost
naked
,
with
a
thick
black
Beard
,
his
Hair
clotted
like
a
Water-Spaniels
,
without
Hose
or
Shoes
;
having
only
a
pair
of
Breeches
upon
his
Hipps
,
that
seem'd
to
have
been
once
of
a
Purple
kind
of
Velvet
,
but
so
tatter'd
and
torn
,
that
they
discover'd
his
skin
in
several
places
.
All
which
particulars
the
Champion
observ'd
,
notwithstanding
the
swiftness
of
his
motion
,
and
endeavour
d
to
the
utmost
that
lay
in
his
Power
to
overtake
him
;
firmly
believing
him
to
be
the
owner
of
the
Saddle
and
Portmantle
.
But
Rosinante
was
too
weak
to
run
Races
with
Apparitions
in
such
Ground
as
that
was
,
being
naturally
of
a
slothful
and
phlegmatick
disposition
.
However
,
Don
Quixote
was
resolv'd
to
speak
with
him
,
tho
it
cost
him
a
whole
years
time
.
And
to
that
purpose
,
he
order'd
Sancho
to
beat
one
side
of
the
Mountain
,
while
he
beat
the
other
.
I
beg
your
Worships
Pardon
,
quo
Sancho
;
for
alas
,
Sir
,
should
I
move
but
a
hairs
breadth
out
of
your
sight
,
my
fears
would
immediately
congeal
me
into
a
Statue
,
that
I
should
never
be
able
to
stir
farther
:
And
therefore
for
the
future
I
give
ye
warning
never
to
lay
such
impossible
Injunctions
upon
me
.
In
good
time
,
quo
the
Knight
of
the
Ill-favour'd
Countenance
,
I
am
glad
thou
hast
such
a
confidence
i'
my
Courage
:
I
'le
assure
thee
I
shall
never
fail
thee
,
tho
thy
Soul
were
scar'd
out
o'
thy
Body
.
Follow
me
therefore
fair
and
softly
,
and
let
us
search
every
hole
and
corner
of
this
Rock
,
't
is
a
thousand
pound
to
a
Nut-shell
,
but
we
may
meet
with
the
owner
of
this
same
Portmanteau
:
For
o'
my
Conscience
that
's
the
very
Man
that
appear'd
so
lately
to
us
like
a
Vision
.
'
Slife
,
Sir
,
quo
Sancho
,
I
don't
like
your
Project
;
for
should
we
meet
him
,
and
he
challenge
the
Cloak-bag
,
I
must
be
forc'd
to
restore
him
his
Money
.
And
therefore
,
Sir
,
I
think
't
would
be
much
better
to
forbear
this
Curiosity
of
yours
,
and
to
keep
the
Money
,
till
we
meet
him
by
some
other
more
lucky
chance
,
when
we
may
have
spent
the
Gold
,
and
worn
out
the
Linnen
,
and
then
we
are
acquitted
from
making
Restitution
by
the
Law
.
Thou
art
mistak'n
,
Sancho
;
for
since
we
have
such
pregnant
Reasons
to
believe
him
the
owner
,
we
are
bound
to
find
him
out
,
and
restore
him
his
Goods
;
by
which
means
we
shall
be
discharg'd
in
Foro
Conscientiae
.
And
so
saying
,
he
spurr'd
Rosinante
forward
,
well
knowing
that
Sancho
would
not
dare
to
tarry
behind
.
Nor
was
it
long
before
they
came
to
a
little
Brook
,
where
they
found
lying
a
dead
Mule
,
Saddl'd
and
Bridl'd
,
and
half
eat'n
by
the
Crows
and
Kites
;
which
confirm'd
the
Knight
in
his
belief
,
that
the
Wild-man
he
had
seen
was
the
Master
of
the
Cloak-bag
.
Now
,
while
they
were
considering
the
Mule
,
and
making
their
Observations
upon
the
Accident
,
they
heard
a
whistling
,
like
the
whistling
of
some
Shepherd
that
kept
his
Flock
not
far
off
;
and
at
the
same
time
,
upon
their
Left
Hand
,
they
spy'd
a
great
number
of
Goats
,
and
a
little
beyond
'em
an
Ancient
Man
,
that
seem'd
to
be
their
Guardian
;
to
whom
Don
Quixote
call'd
out
,
and
desir'd
him
to
come
down
.
The
Goat-herd
ask'd
'em
how
they
came
thither
,
into
a
Desart
place
,
frequented
by
none
but
Goats
and
Wolves
,
and
other
Wild
Beasts
?
And
seeing
'em
stand
gazing
upon
the
dead
Mule
,
That
Mule
,
said
he
,
has
lain
there
this
six
Months
.
But
pray
tell
me
,
Gentlemen
,
did
ye
not
meet
his
Master
,
coming
hither
?
We
met
no
body
,
reply'd
Don
Quixote
;
only
we
found
a
Saddle
and
a
Cloak-bag
not
far
from
this
place
.
I
have
often
seen
it
too
,
said
the
Goat-herd
,
but
I
durst
not
meddle
with
it
,
fearing
it
might
be
laid
there
for
a
Bait
,
and
a
purpose
to
lay
Felony
to
my
charge
.
For
the
Devil
is
very
subtle
,
and
many
times
tempts
us
with
a
Fool's
Paradise
,
to
draw
us
into
a
Halter
.
This
is
just
as
I
said
,
quo
Sancho
,
for
I
saw
the
Cloak-bag
too
,
but
durst
not
adventure
within
a
stones-throw
of
it
;
and
there
let
it
lye
,
for
me
;
for
I
'le
be
none
of
those
that
shall
hang
the
Bell
about
the
Cats
Neck
.
Well
—
but
honest
Friend
,
quo
Don
Quixote
,
dost
thou
know
who
was
the
owner
of
that
Mule
?
All
that
I
know
,
reply'd
the
Goat-herd
,
is
this
;
That
about
six
Months
ago
,
there
was
a
young
Gentleman
,
proper
,
handsom
,
well
clad
,
and
mounted
upon
the
Mule
which
you
see
there
(
only
that
it
was
then
alive
)
with
the
same
Cloak
bag
behind
him
,
came
one
day
to
a
Shepherd's
Cottage
,
about
three
Leagues
from
this
place
,
and
enquir'd
which
was
the
most
desart
and
unfrequented
part
of
all
this
Mountain
?
Who
directed
him
to
that
part
where
we
are
now
:
And
't
is
very
true
;
for
should
ye
go
but
half
a
League
farther
,
you
would
be
hardly
able
to
get
back
again
.
Now
,
this
Gentleman
having
receiv'd
our
Answer
,
turn'd
about
his
Mule
,
and
follow'd
his
Directions
exactly
,
leaving
us
in
admiration
of
his
goodly
Aspect
,
and
the
great
hast
which
he
made
toward
the
Mountain
.
After
that
,
we
heard
of
him
no
more
,
till
meeting
with
one
of
our
Shepherds
,
without
saying
a
word
,
he
fell
upon
him
,
and
beat
the
poor
fellow
most
unmercifully
;
and
then
going
to
the
Ass
that
carry'd
our
Provisions
,
after
he
had
tak'n
away
all
the
Bread
and
Cheese
,
he
tripp'd
back
again
to
the
Mountain
as
nimbly
as
a
wild
Buck
.
Hearing
this
,
a
good
number
of
us
together
spent
two
whole
days
seeking
for
him
in
the
most
remote
and
private
Retirements
of
the
Mountains
,
where
at
length
we
discover'd
him
in
the
hollow
of
a
large
Cork-Tree
,
from
whence
he
came
forth
to
us
with
all
the
mildness
and
courtesie
that
could
be
,
but
with
a
Countenance
so
disfigur'd
and
Sun-burnt
,
that
in
his
raggs
and
tatters
we
hardly
knew
him
again
.
After
a
kind
Salutation
,
he
told
us
in
few
words
,
but
well
compos'd
together
,
that
we
were
not
to
wonder
to
see
him
in
that
posture
,
for
that
it
was
only
to
acquit
himself
of
a
Penitential
Vow
,
that
he
had
oblig'd
himself
to
perform
.
We
desir'd
him
to
let
us
know
his
Stations
,
that
we
might
bring
him
Victuals
,
which
we
were
ready
to
do
as
often
as
he
should
desire
us
,
so
that
he
needed
not
to
take
it
by
force
.
He
thank'd
us
for
our
kind
offers
,
and
begg'd
Pardon
for
the
Injury
he
had
done
;
assuring
us
he
would
never
commit
the
same
Violence
again
.
We
ask'd
him
also
,
where
was
his
most
usual
Retirement
?
To
which
he
answer'd
,
No
where
certain
,
but
where
ever
Night
surpriz'd
him
;
concluding
his
Speech
with
such
bitter
and
lamentable
Complaints
,
that
would
have
mov'd
a
Heart
of
Brass
to
compassion
,
especially
in
us
that
beheld
him
so
strangely
alter'd
from
what
we
had
seen
him
before
.
At
length
,
he
made
a
pause
,
and
standing
like
one
that
had
been
strick'n
dumb
,
with
his
Eyes
stedfastly
fix'd
upon
the
ground
:
He
continu'd
in
that
posture
for
some
time
;
but
then
of
a
sudden
,
as
if
some
fit
of
Madness
had
seiz'd
him
,
staring
with
his
Eyes
,
knitting
his
Brows
,
biting
his
Lips
,
and
clutching
his
Fists
,
he
flew
upon
the
foremost
of
us
,
with
so
much
fury
and
rage
,
that
had
we
not
pull'd
him
off
by
main
force
,
he
had
beaten
out
the
Eyes
of
the
surpriz'd
Shepherd
,
and
torn
his
flesh
from
his
Cheeks
with
his
Teeth
;
crying
out
in
the
height
of
his
Frenzie
,
Ah!
Traytor
,
Ferdinand
,
here
,
here
it
is
,
that
thou
shalt
repay
me
for
the
Injury
thou
hast
done
me
;
these
hands
of
mine
shall
rend
from
thy
Breast
that
treacherous
Heart
,
which
harbours
only
Villany
and
Perfidy
;
lading
at
the
same
time
the
supposed
Ferdinand
with
a
thousand
more
Reproaches
of
Treachery
and
Baseness
.
Which
done
,
he
flung
from
us
,
and
threw
himself
into
the
thickest
part
of
all
the
Woods
,
leaping
over
the
Bushes
and
Brambles
with
that
nimbleness
,
that
it
was
impossible
for
us
to
follow
him
.
Which
caus'd
us
to
believe
,
that
his
Madness
seiz'd
him
by
fits
;
and
that
some
one
,
whose
Name
was
Ferdinand
,
had
done
him
those
irreparable
Injuries
,
which
he
sought
to
revenge
with
so
much
Violence
.
Since
that
,
it
has
come
into
our
Minds
several
times
to
find
him
out
,
and
to
carry
him
by
force
to
the
Mad-House
,
about
eight
Leagues
distant
from
hence
,
that
so
a
more
particular
Care
might
be
tak'n
for
his
Recovery
;
or
at
least
,
that
he
might
be
sent
back
to
his
Relations
.
Don
Quixote
was
wonderfully
concern'd
,
when
he
had
heard
the
Goat-herd's
story
,
and
resolv'd
to
make
it
his
business
,
what
e're
it
cost
him
,
to
find
this
unfortunate
Lover
out
;
so
much
the
rather
,
because
he
extreamly
pity'd
his
Condition
,
as
believing
him
to
be
a
Person
of
Quality
,
and
one
that
suffer'd
unjustly
.
But
Fortune
,
observing
his
good
Nature
,
resolv'd
to
save
him
the
labour
;
for
just
as
they
were
speaking
,
the
young
Man
appear'd
,
and
from
the
cleft
of
a
Rock
,
right
against
the
place
where
they
stood
,
advanc'd
towards
'em
,
muttering
certain
words
between
his
Teeth
,
which
they
could
not
well
have
understood
,
had
they
been
close
by
him
.
When
he
drew
near
,
he
saluted
the
Company
very
civilly
,
but
with
a
hoarse
and
wheasing
Voice
.
Don
Quixote
return'd
his
Civilities
;
for
alighting
from
Rosinante
,
and
accosting
him
with
a
Majestick
Grace
,
he
embrac'd
him
as
if
he
had
been
one
of
his
old
Acquaintance
:
Nor
could
the
other
forbear
,
so
soon
as
he
got
loose
,
to
step
back
some
two
or
three
yards
;
where
laying
his
Hand
upon
his
Breast
,
he
stood
staring
in
Don
Quixote's
face
,
as
if
he
had
been
calling
to
mind
some
Person
whom
he
had
known
before
;
no
less
astonish'd
questionless
to
behold
Don
Quixote's
Countenance
,
Armour
,
&
lofty
Presence
,
then
Don
Quixote
to
see
the
forlorn
and
tatter'd
condition
of
the
Forrester
.
But
the
first
that
open'd
his
Mouth
was
the
Ragged
Knight
,
as
you
shall
hear
i'
the
next
Chapter
.
CHAP.
X.
The
Continuation
of
the
Adventure
in
the
Black
Mountain
.
THE
History
relates
,
That
the
Knight
of
the
Ill-favour'd
Countenance
listn'd
with
great
Attention
to
the
disastrous
Knight
of
the
Rock
,
who
pursuing
his
Discourse
;
In
good
Truth
,
Sir
,
said
he
,
whoe're
you
are
,
for
I
know
you
not
,
you
have
extreamly
oblig'd
me
by
your
Generosity
and
Civility
;
and
I
could
wish
I
were
in
a
Condition
to
testifie
my
Acknowledgement
otherwise
then
in
words
.
But
my
bad
Fortune
obstructs
my
good
Intentions
,
so
that
I
have
nothing
to
return
for
so
many
Kindnesses
,
but
unprofitable
Wishes
.
Sir
,
quo
Don
Quixote
,
so
great
have
been
my
Desires
to
serve
you
,
that
I
resolv'd
not
to
depart
from
these
Solitudes
,
till
I
had
found
ye
out
;
to
the
end
I
might
know
from
your self
,
whether
there
were
any
Remedy
to
be
found
for
the
Discontents
that
occasion
this
your
disconsolate
Course
of
Life
,
tho
it
were
to
be
purchas'd
with
the
Hazard
of
my
own
Life
;
or
,
if
your
Misfortunes
would
admit
of
no
Relief
,
that
I
might
assist
ye
to
bear
the
Burthen
of
your
Woes
,
by
sharing
with
you
in
your
Sorrows
,
and
intermixing
my
Tears
with
yours
:
For
you
cannot
but
know
the
Proverb
,
Sir
,
Solamen
miseris
socios
habuisse
doloris
.
't
is
all
the
Latin
I
have
,
but
I
cannot
use
it
upon
a
better
Occasion
.
If
then
good
Intentions
may
plead
Merit
,
I
conjure
ye
by
the
first
Object
of
your
early
Affections
,
to
tell
me
who
you
are
,
and
the
Cause
of
your
Retirement
to
this
solitary
Desart
,
so
remote
from
the
Converse
of
Men
.
The
Knight
of
the
Rock
,
having
attentively
listn'd
to
these
kind
Expressions
of
the
Knight
of
the
Ill-favour'd
Countenance
,
he
view'd
and
review'd
him
from
top
to
toe
;
and
when
he
had
so
done
:
Sir
,
said
he
,
if
you
have
any
thing
to
eat
,
for
the
love
of
God
,
give
it
me
;
and
when
I
have
fill'd
my
Belly
,
I
will
fulfil
your
Desires
.
Thereupon
Sancho
having
disfurnish'd
his
Wallet
,
and
the
Goat-herd
his
Scrip
,
they
brought
him
first
and
second
Course
.
Immediately
the
Ragged
Knight
fell
on
,
without
saying
Grace
,
like
a
Man
half
famish'd
,
with
that
greedy
haste
,
that
he
seem'd
rather
to
devour
,
then
feed
.
And
having
thus
fill'd
his
Belly
,
he
beckon'd
to
Don
Quixote
,
and
the
rest
to
follow
him
;
and
after
he
had
brought
'em
to
a
Meadow
adjoining
to
a
Rock
,
he
laid
himself
at
his
ease
upon
the
Grass
,
where
the
rest
of
the
Company
sitting
down
by
him
,
he
thus
began
.
Sir
,
said
he
,
if
you
intend
that
I
should
make
a
full
Recital
of
my
sad
Misfortune
,
you
must
promise
me
before-hand
,
not
to
interrupt
me
with
any
Questions
,
or
Comments
upon
my
Words
;
for
if
any
body
speaks
a
Syllable
,
I
shall
presently
conclude
my
Story
.
And
this
I
the
rather
desire
,
as
intending
to
be
quick
in
the
Relation
of
my
Disasters
,
of
which
the
very
Remembrance
is
a
Torment
to
me
;
tho
you
may
be
assur'd
,
I
shall
omit
nothing
of
Consequence
that
may
tend
to
your
Satisfaction
.
Thereupon
Don
Quixote
undertaking
for
all
the
rest
,
the
Knight
of
the
Rock
thus
began
.
My
Name
is
Cardenio
;
the
Place
of
my
Birth
,
one
of
the
best
Cities
of
Andaluzia
;
my
Descent
is
Noble
,
and
my
Parents
wealthy
.
But
my
Misfortunes
are
so
great
,
that
neither
Wealth
,
nor
the
Prosperity
of
my
Parents
can
remedy
.
In
the
same
Place
was
born
the
matchless
Lucinda
,
incomparable
for
her
Beauty
,
nobly
descended
,
and
equal
in
her
Fortune
to
my self
,
but
wanting
a
Constancy
sufficient
to
answer
the
Sincerity
of
my
Intentions
.
This
Lucinda
I
lov'd
from
her
tender
Years
,
and
ador'd
her
in
her
Infancy
;
and
she
also
lov'd
me
with
a
harmless
Affection
and
Freedom
,
which
the
Innocence
of
Childhood
never
scruples
.
Nor
did
our
Parents
oppose
this
innocent
Liberty
,
well
knowing
,
that
the
Equality
of
our
Fortunes
was
such
,
that
there
could
be
no
dislike
of
our
matching
together
.
Afterwards
our
Affections
increasing
as
we
grew
in
Years
,
Lucinda's
Father
judging
our
usual
Familiarity
prejudicial
to
his
Daughter's
Honour
,
forbid
my
frequent
Visits
to
his
House
.
But
that
Restraint
did
but
the
more
augment
our
Affections
and
inflame
our
Desires
.
So
that
altho
we
were
debarr'd
the
Freedom
of
Converse
,
yet
by
the
means
of
trusty
Messengers
,
we
still
maintain'd
a
private
Intercourse
in
Writing
;
which
,
like
Fewel
to
Fire
,
still
fed
our
amorous
Flames
.
Heav'ns
!
how
many
Letters
have
I
wrote
her
?
How
many
Sonnets
have
I
sent
her
?
How
many
tender
and
obliging
Returns
have
I
receiv'd
from
her
?
The
mutual
Pledges
of
our
private
Amours
,
and
mutual
Consolations
of
a
violent
Passion
?
At
length
impatient
to
re-behold
the
Comfort
of
my
life
,
I
resolv'd
to
demand
her
of
her
Father
in
Marriage
.
He
thank'd
me
for
the
Honour
I
did
him
,
but
told
me
withal
,
That
I
had
likewise
a
Father
alive
,
whose
consent
was
to
be
obtain'd
,
as
well
as
his
.
Thereupon
going
to
my
Father
,
with
a
Design
to
beg
his
Approbation
and
Assistance
,
I
found
him
in
his
Chamber
with
a
Letter
open'd
in
his
Hand
,
which
he
gave
me
to
read
,
before
I
could
speak
a
Word
to
him
about
my
own
Business
.
Thou
wilt
find
there
,
said
he
,
the
more
then
ordinary
Kindness
that
D.
Richard
has
for
thee
.
Now
you
must
know
,
Gentlemen
,
that
this
D.
Richard
was
a
Grandee
of
Spain
;
the
chiefest
part
of
whose
Estate
lies
in
the
most
fertile
part
of
Andaluzia
.
I
read
the
Letter
,
and
found
therein
an
obliging
Request
of
D.
Richard
to
send
me
to
him
with
all
speed
,
that
I
might
be
the
Companion
of
his
eldest
Son
;
and
promising
withal
,
to
advance
me
to
a
Fortune
answerable
to
the
good
Opinion
which
he
had
of
me
.
The
latter
part
of
this
Letter
struck
me
dumb
;
but
I
was
ready
to
hang
my self
,
when
my
Father
bid
me
prepare
to
be
gone
in
two
Days
.
Farther
,
said
he
,
give
God
Thanks
,
that
Fortune
has
thus
open'd
thee
a
way
to
that
Advancement
,
which
I
know
thou
deserv'st
.
Nevertheless
,
the
Evening
before
the
Day
of
my
Departure
,
I
gave
Lucinda
a
Visit
,
and
told
her
what
had
happen'd
:
I
also
besought
her
Father
to
preserve
his
good
Opinion
of
me
,
and
to
defer
the
bestowing
of
his
Daughter
,
till
I
had
been
with
D.
Richard
.
Which
he
faithfully
promis'd
me
to
doe
;
and
she
confirm'd
with
all
the
Vows
and
Protestations
imaginable
.
Thus
between
Satisfaction
and
Dissatisfaction
,
I
arriv'd
at
D.
Richard's
Court
;
where
I
was
receiv'd
and
entertain'd
with
that
extraordinary
Kindness
and
Civility
,
that
I
became
the
Envy
of
all
his
ancient
Servants
But
he
that
most
endearingly
caress'd
me
,
was
Ferdinand
,
the
Duke's
youngest
Son
,
generous
,
comely
,
and
of
an
excellent
Humour
.
He
receiv'd
me
into
his
Bosom-Friendship
,
and
gave
me
such
continual
and
ample
Testimonies
of
his
Affection
,
that
tho
I
was
highly
both
belov'd
and
esteem'd
by
his
Brother
,
yet
could
I
easily
distinguish
between
their
Favours
.
And
as
it
is
the
Property
of
true
Friends
to
keep
nothing
secret
,
D.
Ferdinand
believing
himself
secure
of
my
Fidelity
,
imparted
to
me
all
his
Thoughts
;
and
among
the
rest
,
disclos'd
to
me
his
being
in
love
with
a
handsom
Country
Girl
,
the
Daughter
of
a
Farmer
,
that
was
one
of
his
Father's
Tenants
.
Such
was
the
Vertue
,
the
Prudence
,
the
Discretion
of
this
Damsel
,
that
she
was
the
Admiration
of
all
that
were
acquainted
with
her
;
and
those
her
rare
Endowments
had
so
charm'd
the
Soul
of
D.
Ferdinand
,
that
finding
it
impossible
to
win
her
for
his
Mistress
,
he
resolv'd
to
make
her
his
Wife
.
Now
being
so
engag'd
,
as
I
was
,
to
D.
Ferdinand
,
I
thought
it
my
Duty
to
divert
him
from
a
Resolution
so
prejudicial
to
his
Honour
and
Quality
;
but
finding
all
my
Arguments
were
scatter'd
in
the
Wind
,
I
resolv'd
to
inform
the
Duke
,
his
Father
,
of
his
Intentions
.
But
D.
Ferdinand
,
whose
Politicks
were
refin'd
and
piercing
,
believing
my
Honour
would
engage
me
to
discover
a
Design
so
prejudicial
to
the
Honour
of
his
Family
,
endeavour'd
to
perswade
me
,
that
his
Heat
was
over
;
and
to
compleat
the
Cure
,
that
he
was
resolv'd
to
absent
himself
from
the
Object
of
his
Passion
;
to
which
purpose
,
he
would
take
a
Journey
to
my
Father's
House
,
pretending
to
buy
Horses
,
of
which
there
are
the
best
of
all
that
Province
,
bred
in
our
Village
.
Presently
,
sway'd
by
the
Interest
of
my
own
Love
,
I
approv'd
his
Design
,
and
press'd
him
to
make
haste
,
out
of
a
Design
to
re-visit
my
dear
Lucinda
.
But
alas
!
as
afterwards
I
understood
,
he
had
already
reap'd
the
last
enjoiments
of
his
amorous
Courtship
to
his
Country-Mistress
,
with
the
Sickle
of
promis'd
Marriage
;
tho
he
durst
not
discover
it
,
for
fear
of
the
Duke
his
Father's
Displeasure
.
But
as
the
Love
of
young
People
is
only
an
irregular
Passion
,
and
boiling
Desire
,
that
has
no
other
Object
then
Pleasure
,
and
which
Enjoyment
dissipates
;
no
sooner
had
he
obtain'd
the
last
Favours
of
his
Mistress
,
but
his
vehement
Affection
slacken'd
,
and
his
ardent
Love
grew
cold
:
So
that
if
his
Desire
of
Absence
were
fain'd
before
,
there
was
nothing
now
which
he
more
really
coveted
.
And
therefore
having
obtain'd
his
Father's
leave
,
away
we
came
to
my
Father's
House
,
where
Don
Ferdinand
was
entertain'd
with
a
Welcome
befitting
his
Quality
;
and
I
went
to
visit
my
Lucinda
,
who
receiv'd
me
as
a
most
dear
and
constant
Lover
.
Some
few
Days
after
,
to
divertise
Ferdinand
,
I
thought
it
my
Duty
,
like
a
Nick-a-poop
as
I
was
,
to
put
the
same
Confidence
in
his
Friendship
,
with
which
he
had
entrusted
mine
.
And
to
that
purpose
(
curse
o'
my
babbling
Tongue
!
)
I
made
Lucinda's
Beauty
,
Wit
,
and
Prudence
,
the
Subject
of
my
Discourse
,
till
I
had
inflam'd
him
with
a
Desire
to
see
so
wonderful
a
Person
;
and
to
satisfie
his
Impatience
,
shew'd
her
to
him
at
a
low
Window
,
where
we
were
wont
to
converse
together
.
And
that
which
added
to
my
Ruine
,
was
,
That
she
was
richly
dress'd
that
Day
,
and
seem'd
so
lovely
to
D.
Ferdinand's
Eyes
,
that
he
forgat
all
other
Beauties
in
the
World
beside
,
and
became
a
doating
Lover
of
my
Mistress
only
.
Nay
,
the
more
to
enflame
him
(
for
when
the
Devil
owes
a
man
a
Spite
,
he
never
pays
a
man
by
halves
)
he
met
with
a
Letter
of
her's
,
wherein
she
had
desir'd
me
to
demand
her
of
her
Father
,
and
to
hast'n
our
Marriage
;
which
was
written
with
that
Modesty
and
Discretion
,
that
D.
Ferdinand
cry'd
out
,
That
in
Lucinda
were
all
those
Perfections
,
both
of
Body
and
Mind
,
met
together
,
as
it
were
,
by
consent
,
which
in
other
Women
separately
appear'd
.
But
as
deserv'd
as
they
were
,
I
did
not
like
these
Encomiums
from
D.
Ferdinand's
Lips
;
I
began
to
smell
a
Rat
,
and
therefore
carry'd
my self
more
reservedly
:
But
the
more
I
forbore
to
speak
of
her
,
the
more
He
made
her
still
the
Subject
of
his
Discourse
.
And
this
was
that
which
waken'd
my
Jealousie
,
tho
I
could
say
nothing
against
Lucinda
,
of
whose
Fidelity
I
thought
my self
so
fully
assur'd
,
that
I
durst
have
pawn'd
my
Soul
to
a
brass
Thimble
,
for
her
Sincerity
.
It
happen'd
one
day
,
that
Lucinda
,
who
was
much
addicted
to
read
Books
of
Knight-Errantry
,
desir'd
me
to
lend
her
the
History
of
Amadis
de
Gaul
—
Scarce
were
the
words
,
Amadis
de
Gaul
,
drop'd
out
of
Cardenio's
Mouth
,
but
Don
Quixote
interrupting
him
;
Had
you
but
told
me
,
that
your
Lady
was
addicted
to
read
Romances
,
you
need
have
said
no
more
to
confirm
me
in
the
Belief
of
what
you
have
utter'd
concerning
her
Beauty
and
her
Wit
.
For
if
she
be
a
Reader
of
Romances
,
I
am
sure
she
must
be
ten
times
fairer
,
and
ten
thousand
times
more
witty
then
you
have
express'd
her
to
be
:
and
more
then
that
,
I
do
uphold
and
maintain
her
to
be
the
wittiest
Woman
alive
.
I
wish
,
Sir
,
that
,
together
with
Amadis
de
Gaul
,
you
had
sent
her
the
brave
Duke
Roger
of
Greece
.
Madam
Lucinda
,
questionless
,
would
have
been
highly
tak'n
with
Dorayda
,
and
Geraya
,
and
the
pleasant
Shepherd
Darinel
,
with
his
Bucolicks
,
which
he
sung
with
so
much
Discretion
,
and
with
such
a
sweet
and
debonnair
Behaviour
.
But
time
may
repair
this
Defect
;
and
if
you
please
to
come
to
my
House
,
I
will
shew
you
above
three
hundred
Volumes
,
which
are
all
the
Delight
and
Content
I
have
in
this
World
;
and
yet
they
are
all
at
your
Service
,
if
the
damn'd
Negromancers
have
not
robb'd
me
of
'
em
.
Pardon
me
,
I
beseech
ye
,
Sir
,
for
giving
you
this
Interruption
,
contrary
to
my
Promise
;
but
I
can
as
well
be
hang'd
,
and
the
Sun
may
as
well
forbear
to
shine
,
as
I
forbear
speaking
,
when
I
hear
the
least
mention
made
of
Knight-Errantry
.
Now
therefore
,
pray
Sir
,
go
on
.
All
the
time
of
this
Digression
Cardenio
hung
down
his
Head
in
his
Breast
,
like
one
that
had
been
musing
some
new
Point
i'
the
Mathematicks
.
Nor
could
Don
Quixote
,
with
all
his
Entreaties
,
perswade
him
to
look
up
,
or
give
him
a
Word
of
Answer
.
But
at
length
,
elevating
his
Chin
,
with
his
Eyes
staring
in
his
Head
;
I
'le
never
believe
otherwise
,
nor
shall
any
Man
beat
it
out
of
my
Brains
,
quo
he
,
and
he
's
a
Rascal
,
and
a
Son
of
a
Whore
,
who
denies
,
that
that
same
Scoundrel
of
a
Stallion
Barber
,
Tom
Thumb
,
never
lay
with
the
Queen
of
Trumps
.
By
all
that
's
vertuous
in
Toboso
,
reply'd
Don
Quixote
,
that
cannot
be
:
't
is
a
Scandal
and
a
Calumny
.
The
Queen
of
Trumps
was
a
most
chast
and
modest
Lady
;
and
there
is
no
probability
,
that
a
Princess
of
her
Quality
would
make
love
to
a
Tooth-drawer
:
Whoever
affirms
it
,
lyes
in
his
Throat
,
and
I
'le
make
him
to
acknowledge
it
,
either
a-foot
,
or
a
horse-back
,
arm'd
,
or
unarm'd
,
by
Day
,
or
by
Night
,
or
how
he
pleases
.
Cardenio
,
upon
this
,
fasten'd
his
Eyes
upon
Don
Quixote
,
without
speaking
a
word
;
and
being
thus
provok'd
into
one
of
his
mad
Fits
,
to
hear
himself
call'd
Lyar
,
and
insolent
Fellow
,
took
up
a
great
Stone
that
lay
just
at
his
Feet
,
and
threw
it
with
such
a
force
at
Don
Quixote
,
that
hitting
him
full
i'
the
Breast
,
it
beat
the
Champion
backward
upon
his
Rump
.
Sancho
seeing
his
Master
abus'd
,
fell
upon
Cardenio
with
both
his
Fists
clutch'd
,
whom
Cardenio
with
one
sound
Wherret
,
laid
at
his
Feet
,
and
then
fell
a
trampling
his
Guts
,
like
a
Baker
in
a
Dough-trough
.
Nor
did
the
Goat-herd
,
going
to
take
Sancho's
Part
,
speed
much
better
.
And
thus
the
Ragged
Knight
having
vanquish'd
the
Knight
of
the
Ill-favour'd
Face
,
and
both
his
Champions
,
retir'd
back
to
the
Mountain
.
Sancho
was
no
sooner
got
upon
his
Legs
again
,
but
he
began
to
quarrel
with
the
Goat-herd
,
calling
him
Bumkin
and
Logger-head
,
for
not
telling
'em
before
,
that
the
Ragged
Knight
was
frantick
,
that
so
they
might
ha'
had
more
care
of
themselves
.
The
Goat-herd
reply'd
,
that
he
had
giv'n
'em
Warning
at
first
,
and
if
he
could
not
hear
,
he
was
not
bound
to
find
him
Ears
.
To
this
Sancho
reply'd
,
and
the
Goat-herd
reply'd
again
;
till
from
Pro's
and
Con's
they
fell
to
seizing
one
another
by
the
Beards
,
tugging
and
haling
each
other
in
such
a
cruel
manner
,
that
if
Don
Quixote
had
not
parted
'em
,
they
had
pull'd
one
anothers
Chins
from
their
Heads
.
However
,
Sancho
keeping
his
hold
,
in
great
Wrath
,
Let
me
alone
,
Sir
Knight
of
the
Ill-favour'd
Face
,
quo
he
:
this
Fellow
is
no
more
a
Dubb'd
Knight
then
my self
,
and
therefore
I
hope
I
may
fight
hand
to
hand
,
like
a
Man
of
Honour
,
and
revenge
the
Injury
he
has
done
me
.
't
is
true
,
Sancho
,
reply'd
Don
Quixote
,
but
I
know
no
Injury
we
have
receiv'd
:
And
so
saying
,
made
'em
shake
hands
,
and
be
Friends
.
And
then
addressing
himself
to
the
Goat-herd
,
ask'd
him
,
Whether
there
were
no
way
to
find
out
Cardenio
again
,
in
regard
he
had
a
great
mind
to
hear
the
end
of
his
Story
?
To
whom
the
Goat-herd
made
Answer
,
That
the
Ragged
Knight
had
no
constant
Residence
,
but
that
if
he
tarri'd
thereabouts
,
it
might
not
be
long
before
he
met
with
him
,
mad
or
sober
.
CHAP.
XI
.
Of
the
strange
Accidents
that
befell
the
valiant
Knight
of
Mancha
in
the
Black
Mountain
;
and
of
his
imitating
the
Penance
perform'd
by
the
Lovely-Obscure
.
DOn
Quixote
bid
the
Goat-herd
farewell
,
and
remounting
Rosinante
,
commanded
Sancho
to
follow
him
a-foot
,
which
he
did
,
but
in
a
damn'd
sullen
,
peevish
Humour
;
for
his
Master
led
him
into
the
roughest
,
and
most
craggy
part
of
all
the
Mountain
.
Thus
they
travell'd
for
a
while
,
without
speaking
a
word
one
to
another
;
till
Sancho
,
almost
dead
for
want
of
a
little
Chat
,
Sir
,
said
he
,
I
desire
your
Worship
to
give
me
your
Blessing
,
and
leave
to
depart
,
that
I
may
return
home
to
my
Wife
and
Children
,
where
no
body
can
hinder
me
from
Scolding
and
Maundring
,
as
I
please
my self
.
For
I
had
rather
be
bury'd
alive
,
then
to
ramble
after
your
Heels
through
Mountains
and
Desarts
,
Day
and
Night
,
without
being
admitted
to
speak
.
Could
the
Beasts
speak
,
as
they
did
in
Aesop's
time
,
Rosinante
and
I
might
Chat
together
,
like
two
Midwives
,
and
my
Conceits
would
never
putrifie
i'
my
Body
,
as
they
do
.
Upon
my
Faith
,
Sir
,
't
is
a
thing
not
to
be
endur'd
to
trot
o'
this
Fashion
after
Adventures
,
and
meet
with
nothing
but
Thumps
and
Bastinado's
;
and
after
all
,
forsooth
,
to
have
a
Man's
Mouth
sow'd
up
,
as
if
his
Tongue
had
been
made
for
no
use
.
I
understand
thee
,
Sancho
,
quo
Don
Quixote
,
thou
dost
not
love
to
keep
thy
Tongue
a
Prisoner
long
:
why
then
,
Sancho
,
I
'le
release
it
for
once
,
upon
Condition
,
that
it
shall
be
only
for
the
time
we
continue
i'
the
Mountains
.
Speak
therefore
what
thou
hast
a
mind
.
Content
,
quo
Sancho
,
let
us
talk
while
we
may
,
God
knows
what
may
befall
us
hereafter
:
And
so
beginning
to
make
use
of
his
Priviledge
;
I
wonder
,
Sir
,
said
he
,
what
Reason
you
had
to
be
so
cholerick
for
the
Queen
of
Trumps
,
what
d'
ye
call
her
,
for
I
care
not
a
Straw
what
her
Name
is
?
Or
What
was
it
to
the
Purpose
,
whether
Tom
Thumb
were
her
Paramour
,
or
no
?
For
had
you
not
meddl'd
with
what
y'
had
nothing
to
do
with
,
the
Mad-man
would
ha'
gone
on
with
his
Story
,
you
had
miss'd
a
good
Thump
o'
the
Breast
,
and
I
had
scap'd
the
bursting
the
Cawl
of
my
Belly
.
Friend
Sancho
,
reply'd
Don
Quixote
,
didst
thou
but
know
what
a
vertuous
Lady
the
Queen
of
Trumps
was
,
thou
'dst
say
,
I
had
a
great
deal
of
Patience
in
that
I
did
not
tear
that
Fellows
Tongue
from
the
bottom
of
of
his
Throat
,
for
uttering
so
many
Blasphemies
against
her
.
For
,
in
short
,
't
was
a
most
execrable
piece
of
Blasphemy
to
say
,
That
a
Queen
had
lain
with
a
Barber-Surgeon
.
For
the
Truth
of
the
Story
is
this
,
That
this
Mr.
Tom
Thumb
was
both
Counsellor
,
and
Physician
in
Ordinary
to
the
Queen
;
but
to
say
he
was
her
Paramour
or
Gallant
,
was
an
insolent
Scandal
,
and
fit
to
be
chastiz'd
.
Neither
can
it
be
thought
,
that
Cardenio
knew
what
he
said
;
for
thou
swor'st
he
was
in
one
of
his
mad
Fits
,
when
he
spoke
it
.
And
what
need
you
then
ha'
minded
what
a
Mad-man
said
,
quo
Sancho
?
Suppose
the
Stone
that
hit
ye
o'
the
Breast
,
had
beat
out
your
Brains
,
we
had
been
finely
serv'd
for
taking
the
part
of
a
Sisly-Bum-Trinket
;
the
Devil
confound
her
.
Sancho
,
reply'd
Don
Quixote
,
a
Knight-Errant
is
oblig'd
to
defend
the
Honour
of
all
Ladies
against
Lunaticks
,
as
well
as
Men
i'
their
Wits
;
much
more
,
being
such
Queens
and
Princesses
as
the
Queen
of
Trumps
,
for
whom
I
have
a
particular
Veneration
,
because
of
her
Vertue
,
and
other
admirable
Qualities
;
for
besides
that
,
she
was
very
beautiful
,
she
was
very
prudent
,
And
behav'd
her self
with
an
incomparable
Patience
in
all
her
Misfortunes
:
and
then
it
was
that
it
was
,
that
she
stood
in
need
of
the
wholesom
Counsels
of
Mr.
Tom
Thumb
;
which
gave
Occasion
to
that
false
and
scandalous
Report
,
that
they
lay
together
.
But
I
say
again
,
they
lye
,
and
lye
a
thousand
times
over
,
whoever
they
be
,
that
shall
either
report
,
or
so
much
as
think
such
a
Calumny
against
the
Queen
of
Trumps
.
Why
,
Sir
,
quo
Sancho
,
I
neither
say
,
nor
think
one
way
or
t'
other
;
let
them
that
affirm
it
eat
the
Lye
,
and
swallow
it
when
they
ha'
done
.
If
they
lay
together
,
th'
have
answer'd
for
it
before
now
.
I
come
from
plough
,
I
know
nothing
;
I
never
thrust
my
Nose
into
other
mens
Porridge
;
my
Name
's
Twyford
,
I
neither
meddle
nor
make
.
He
that
buys
and
sells
,
shall
find
his
Gains
in
his
Purse
.
Naked
I
came
into
the
World
,
and
naked
I
must
go
out
.
I
neither
take
,
nor
give
;
I
neither
lose
,
nor
gain
:
if
they
lay
together
't
is
no
Bread
and
Butter
o'
mine
.
Who
can
make
a
Silk
Purse
of
a
Sow's
Ear
?
But
if
ye
catch
me
i'
your
Corn
,
put
me
i'
your
Pound
.
The
Devil
go
wi'
thee
,
quo
Don
Quixote
,
what
a
Company
of
Proverbs
hast
thou
threaded
together
?
What
are
all
these
musty
Adages
to
my
Purpose
?
Prethee
mind
thy
Ass
,
that
's
thy
Business
;
and
remember
this
,
That
what
I
do
,
I
have
done
,
and
shall
do
,
is
no
more
then
what
is
conformable
to
the
Laws
of
Chivalry
,
which
I
understand
better
then
all
the
Knights-Errant
that
ever
were
i'
the
World
.
Troth
,
Sir
,
quo
Sancho
,
't
is
no
more
then
ye
deserve
;
for
in
my
Opinion
,
ye
pay
dear
for
your
Knowledge
.
But
I
pray
Sir
,
give
me
leave
,
Do
your
Laws
constrain
us
to
live
and
die
in
this
Mountain
?
Patience
alittle
,
good
Sancho
,
reply'd
Don
Quixote
,
for
now
I
think
on
't
,
I
have
something
to
do
in
this
Mountain
,
that
shall
immortallize
my
Name
,
eternize
my
Fame
,
and
give
me
a
Reputation
above
all
the
Knights-Errant
that
ever
were
i'
the
World
,
or
ever
shall
be
.
Well
,
but
what
's
the
Danger
we
must
run
,
quo
Sancho
?
for
I
would
willingly
know
before-hand
,
if
I
might
.
That
's
as
it
happ'ns
,
quo
Don
Quixote
,
for
we
may
perhaps
meet
with
a
Brush
,
or
so
;
but
the
main
matter
consists
in
thy
Diligence
.
In
my
Diligence
!
Heav'ns
bless
us
,
quo
Sancho
.
't
is
very
true
,
reply'd
Don
Quixote
;
for
if
thou
return'st
with
speed
from
the
place
whither
I
think
to
send
thee
,
my
Pain
will
be
soon
at
an
end
,
and
my
Glory
will
begin
—
But
why
in
such
a
brown
Study
,
man
?
For
thou
art
to
know
,
most
faithful
Squire
,
that
Amadis
de
Gaul
was
one
of
the
compleatest
Knight-Errants
that
ever
were
i'
the
World
;
nay
,
the
very
Chief
and
Prince
of
all
the
rest
.
Moreover
,
't
is
the
part
of
a
Painter
,
that
studies
to
render
himself
famous
in
his
Art
,
to
imitate
the
best
Originals
;
which
ought
to
be
the
Rule
in
all
other
Arts
and
Sciences
,
that
serve
for
the
Ornament
of
Common-wealths
.
Thus
Homer
makes
his
Ulysses
a
Pattern
of
Wisdom
and
Patience
;
and
Virgil
his
Aeneas
a
rare
Example
of
filial
Duty
,
and
of
a
valiant
Captain
;
representing
'em
not
what
they
were
,
but
what
it
behov'd
'em
to
have
been
.
In
like
manner
was
Amadis
the
North-Star
,
and
Sun
of
all
Knight-Errants
,
truly
Couragious
and
Amorous
;
and
for
that
Reason
only
,
him
alone
ought
all
Knight-Errants
to
imitate
,
that
march
under
the
Banner
of
Love
and
Chivalry
.
Now
then
I
find
,
that
among
all
other
things
that
render
Amadis
so
famous
for
Wisdom
and
Valour
,
his
Constancy
and
Love
,
his
retiring
to
the
Poor
Rock
,
under
the
Title
of
the
Lovely
Obscure
One
,
was
one
of
the
chiefest
:
A
Title
certainly
most
significant
and
agreeable
to
the
life
which
he
intended
to
lead
.
And
in
regard
it
is
a
Task
far
more
easie
to
imitate
his
Penance
,
then
his
great
Atchievements
,
in
cleaving
the
Heads
of
monstrous
Giants
,
strangling
Serpents
,
killing
Dragons
,
vanquishing
whole
Armies
,
dispersing
Navies
,
and
breaking
the
force
of
Inchantments
;
I
am
resolv'd
not
to
lose
the
offer
of
so
fair
an
Opportunity
,
in
a
Place
so
fit
for
my
purpose
.
But
pray
,
Sir
,
all
this
while
,
What
is
your
Design
in
this
lonely
Desart
,
quo
Sancho
?
Have
I
not
told
thee
,
reply'd
Don
Quixote
,
that
I
intend
here
to
act
Amadis
in
his
Madness
,
Despair
,
and
Fury
?
And
at
the
same
time
to
imitate
the
Dotages
of
the
Valiant
Orlando
,
when
he
found
that
Angelica
,
the
Fair
,
had
abandon'd
him
for
the
Love
of
Medor
,
which
distracted
him
to
that
degree
,
that
he
tore
up
Trees
by
the
Roots
,
damm'd
up
Fountains
,
destroy'd
whole
Flocks
,
slew
the
Shepherds
,
fir'd
their
Hutts
,
stole
their
Horses
,
and
committed
a
hundred
Extravagancies
,
worthy
to
be
recorded
in
Fame's
eternal
Book
?
Not
that
I
intend
,
however
,
to
follow
Rowland
,
or
Orland
,
or
Roldan
,
for
he
went
by
as
many
Names
as
a
Newgate
Shop-lift
;
but
to
make
choice
of
the
most
Essential
and
Orthodox
of
all
his
Follies
.
Nay
,
perhaps
I
shall
only
imitate
Amadis
,
whose
Raving
not
being
so
destructive
and
pernicious
,
but
only
consisting
in
Complaints
and
Lamentations
,
gain'd
him
such
a
matchless
Reputation
.
I
am
apt
to
believe
,
reply'd
Sancho
,
That
those
Knights
had
some
Reason
for
what
they
did
:
But
what
induces
you
to
play
the
fool
?
What
Lady
has
despis'd
your
Amours
?
What
Discoveries
have
you
made
of
Dulcinea's
being
false
to
ye
,
with
either
Moor
or
Christian
?
S'life
,
cry'd
Don
Quixote
,
there
's
my
Point
,
therein
consists
the
Curiosity
of
my
Business
,
for
a
Knight-Errant
to
play
the
Mad-man
without
any
Reason
;
there
's
the
Knot
and
Riddle
of
the
matter
,
for
a
Man
to
run
frantick
without
a
Cause
;
thereby
to
let
his
Lady
see
what
he
can
do
upon
Occasion
,
when
he
acts
so
well
,
without
any
Constraint
or
Necessity
.
But
I
have
Reason
sufficient
,
considering
the
long
time
I
have
been
absent
from
the
matchless
Dulcinea
,
through
which
Neglect
of
mine
,
I
have
sinn'd
most
heinously
against
her
Patience
,
according
to
the
saying
of
the
Shepherd
Ambrosio
:
In
my
Absence
losing
Time
,
Can
ye
think
she
is
not
griev'd
?
Yes
,
and
tempted
too
,
be
sure
,
Some
other
way
to
be
reliev'd
.
And
therefore
,
Sancho
,
never
strive
in
vain
to
divert
me
from
so
rare
,
so
happy
,
and
so
extroardinary
an
Imitation
.
I
am
mad
,
and
will
be
mad
,
till
thou
return'st
with
an
Answer
to
the
Letter
which
thou
must
carry
to
the
Lady
Dulcinea
;
and
if
I
find
that
she
deserves
my
Constancy
,
my
Frenzie
will
be
over
,
and
I
will
do
Penance
no
longer
;
but
if
she
slights
me
,
I
will
run
stark
mad
,
to
the
end
,
that
if
thou
bring'st
me
bad
News
,
I
may
be
altogether
insensible
of
it
.
But
to
the
purpose
,
Sancho
,
hast
thou
sav'd
Mambrino's
Helmet
?
I
saw
thee
take
it
up
,
after
that
ingrateful
Rogue
had
done
his
utmost
endeavour
to
break
it
,
which
shews
the
most
excellent
Temper
of
the
Mettle
.
Before-George
,
your
Follies
,
Sir
Knight
of
the
Ill-favour'd
Countenance
,
are
not
to
be
endur'd
,
quo
Sancho
;
they
are
enough
to
make
any
Man
believe
,
that
what
you
brag
of
your
Knight-Errantry
,
your
winning
of
Kingdoms
and
Empires
,
and
your
bestowing
of
Islands
upon
your
Squire
,
are
meer
Shams
and
Lyes
.
For
who
,
i'
the
Name
of
Belzebub
,
that
should
hear
you
call
a
Barber's
Bason
Mambrino's
Helmet
,
would
not
think
you
fit
for
the
Mad-house
at
Newington
?
I
have
the
Bason
i'
my
Wallet
,
which
I
intend
to
carry
home
,
and
get
mended
for
my
own
use
,
if
ever
God
quits
me
of
your
confounded
Service
.
Sancho
,
reply'd
Don
Quixote
,
would
I
might
be
pox'd
,
if
I
think
there
ever
was
such
a
Cuckow-brains
of
a
Squire
i'
the
World
.
How
is
it
possible
for
a
man
to
be
such
a
Logger-head
,
as
not
to
have
learnt
in
all
this
time
that
thou
hast
been
with
me
,
that
all
the
Actions
and
Adventures
of
Knights-Errant
,
seem
to
be
Chimera's
,
Follies
,
and
Impertinencies
;
not
that
they
are
so
indeed
,
but
through
the
Malice
and
Wickedness
of
those
damn'd
Inchanters
,
that
make
all
things
as
they
please
themselves
;
and
thus
bewitch'd
by
their
Sorceries
,
thou
tak'st
Mambrino's
Helmet
for
a
Barber's
Bason
,
which
to
me
seems
another
thing
:
And
that
the
Sorcerer
does
it
out
of
Friendship
to
me
.
For
Mambrino's
Helmet
being
a
Jewel
of
such
inestimable
value
,
I
should
never
be
at
rest
,
but
be
always
engag'd
in
Fights
and
Combats
,
to
defend
it
,
were
it
once
known
to
be
i'
my
Custody
.
Keep
it
safe
,
Sancho
,
for
I
have
no
need
of
it
at
present
;
rather
I
think
to
put
off
my
Armour
,
and
strip
my self
as
naked
as
I
came
out
of
my
Mother's
Womb
,
according
as
I
shall
find
it
most
convenient
,
whether
to
imitate
Orlando
or
Amadis
.
Concluding
this
Discourse
,
they
came
to
the
foot
of
a
high
Rock
that
seem'd
to
stand
by
it self
;
from
the
descent
of
which
,
there
softly
glided
a
gentle
stream
that
water'd
a
Meadow
which
surrounded
the
Rock
.
The
freshness
and
verdure
of
the
Grass
,
the
number
of
wild
Trees
,
Plants
,
and
Flowers
,
that
cover'd
the
Rock
,
render'd
this
place
so
pleasant
and
delightful
,
that
the
Knight
of
the
Ill-favour'd
Countenance
made
choice
of
it
to
shrift
himself
,
beginning
his
Penance
in
such
a
manner
,
as
if
he
had
utterly
lost
his
Wits
.
Behold
,
O
Heav'ns
,
said
he
,
the
place
which
I
have
made
choice
of
,
to
bewail
therein
the
miserable
Condition
to
which
you
have
reduc'd
me
.
May
my
Tears
augment
the
waters
of
this
Rivulet
,
and
my
Sighs
perpeually
move
the
Leaves
and
Branches
of
these
Trees
,
eternal
Remembrances
to
the
World
of
the
Pains
and
Torments
which
my
Heart
endures
.
Ye
rural
Deities
,
whoever
ye
be
,
that
inhabit
these
Desarts
,
hear
the
Plaints
of
an
unfortunate
Lover
,
whom
a
long
Absence
,
and
his
own
fantastical
Jealousie
has
guided
to
these
gloomy
Shades
to
lament
his
ill
Fortune
,
and
deplore
the
cruel
Rigour
of
that
ungrateful
fair
One
,
who
is
the
Perfection
,
and
Ne
plus
ultra
of
all
terrestial
Beauty
.
Ye
lovely
Nayades
,
and
Druids
more
contemplative
,
assist
my
Plaints
,
or
at
least
list'n
to
my
Woes
;
and
may
the
lascivious
,
boistrous
Satyrs
never
interrupt
your
Rest
.
Oh
,
Dulcinea
del
Toboso
!
thou
Sun
of
my
Days
,
and
Moon
of
my
Nights
;
the
Glory
of
my
Sufferings
,
North
star
of
my
Travels
,
and
Constellation
that
govern'st
my
Fortune
,
pity
,
I
conjure
thee
,
the
sad
Condition
to
which
my
absence
has
reduc'd
me
;
and
may
the
Heav'ns
grant
thee
long
and
happy
Days
.
Ye
solitary
Groves
and
Shades
,
Companions
of
my
Solitudes
,
satisfie
me
in
the
soft
Language
of
your
rustling
Leaves
,
and
by
the
nodding
of
your
Branches
,
that
I
am
we
come
to
your
verdant
Harbours
.
And
thou
my
dear
Squire
,
the
faithful
Companion
of
my
Adventures
,
mark
attentively
what
I
do
,
and
be
sure
not
to
forget
the
smallest
Punctilio
.
And
thou
Rosinante
,
that
hast
all
along
so
inseparably
and
advantagiously
serv'd
me
;
thou
that
hast
shar'd
with
me
in
all
my
bad
and
good
Successes
,
pardon
me
for
making
choice
of
this
Solitude
;
and
believe
me
,
't
is
not
without
weeping
Eyes
,
that
thou
and
I
must
part
.
And
so
saying
,
he
alighted
,
whipp'd
off
his
Bridle
and
Saddle
,
and
giving
the
Horse
a
clap
o'
the
Buttocks
,
go
Rosinante
,
said
he
,
he
gives
thee
thy
Liberty
,
that
has
lost
his
own
.
Go
Horse
,
no
less
famous
for
thy
Actions
,
then
miserable
for
thy
bad
luck
;
yet
shalt
thou
never
be
sold
to
thy
worth
.
Fam'd
Beast
!
with
whom
neither
Astolpho's
Hypogryphon
,
nor
Frontin
,
Brandimart's
Delight
,
nor
the
winged
Pegasus
himself
could
e're
compare
for
mettle
and
swiftness
of
heels
.
Curst
be
the
villain
Thief
,
cry'd
Sancho
,
curst
with
Bell
,
Book
,
and
Candle
,
that
freed
me
from
the
trouble
of
unpannelling
my
Ass
too
;
he
should
not
have
wanted
a
Harangue
in
his
praise
,
perhaps
as
good
as
this
.
Poor
Creature
of
God's
making
!
he
was
never
troubl'd
with
these
Follies
of
Lovers
and
Mad-men
,
no
more
then
his
Master
,
that
was
my self
,
so
long
as
Heav'n
pleas'd
.
But
d'
ye
here
me
,
now
I
think
on
't
,
Sir
Knight
of
the
Ill-favour'd
Countenance
,
if
your
frantick
Pranks
and
my
Journy
be
resolv
d
on
,
there
will
be
a
necessity
of
saddling
Rosinante
again
,
especially
if
your
business
require
haste
;
for
truth
to
tell
ye
,
I
am
no
good
Foot-man
.
Do
as
thou
think'st
fit
,
for
that
,
Sancho
,
reply'd
Don
Quixote
;
for
I
intend
thou
shalt
set
forward
about
three
days
hence
.
In
the
mean
time
thou
shalt
stay
and
be
witness
of
what
I
do
for
my
Lady's
sake
;
to
the
end
thou
mayst
be
able
to
give
her
a
true
and
perfect
Account
of
every
Particular
.
Heav'ns
bless
my
Eye-sight
,
quo
Sancho
,
why
,
is
it
possible
for
me
to
see
more
then
I
have
done
?
Thou
art
still
wide
o'
the
Mark
,
reply'd
Don
Quixote
,
thou
shalt
see
me
put
off
my
Armour
,
tear
my
Clothes
,
knock
my
Head
against
the
Rocks
,
and
play
a
thousand
more
antick
Tricks
,
which
all
the
Jack-Puddings
in
London
could
never
shew
thee
.
For
the
love
of
God
,
Sir
,
take
heed
how
ye
quarrel
with
these
Rocks
,
you
may
chance
to
give
your
Scull
such
a
crack
the
first
Encounter
,
as
may
spoil
an
excellent
Mad-man
,
and
a
good
Penitent
both
at
one
stroke
.
Therefore
I
would
advise
ye
,
if
your
business
,
which
is
all
but
a
feign'd
Ceremony
,
cannot
otherwise
be
accomplish'd
,
without
these
scurvy
Cats-leaps
,
to
practise
your
Imitations
upon
the
Water
,
or
in
a
Hay-rick
;
and
let
me
alone
to
swear
to
Madam
Dulcinea
,
that
you
plaid
your
Christmas-gambols
upon
hard
pointed
Rocks
,
as
sharp
as
the
end
of
your
Spear
.
I
thank
thee
,
honest
Sancho
,
for
thy
good
Will
,
reply'd
Don
Quixote
;
but
thou
art
mistak'n
to
think
I
am
in
jest
:
These
things
must
be
all
done
seriously
and
solemnly
,
otherwise
I
should
act
against
the
Laws
of
Chivalry
,
with
abominate
Falshood
,
and
mental
Reservation
.
At
the
end
of
the
three
days
Sancho
put
him
in
mind
,
that
his
time
was
elaps'd
;
and
therefore
desir'd
him
to
write
his
Letter
,
and
let
him
be
gone
.
For
,
quo
he
,
let
me
be
roasted
,
if
I
do
not
long
till
my
Return
has
freed
ye
out
of
this
Purgatory
,
where
I
must
be
forc
d
to
leave
ye
.
Purgatory
,
dost
call
it
,
quo
Don
Quixote
!
call
it
Hell
,
Tophet
,
Gehenna
;
or
if
thou
canst
think
of
any
thing
else
i'
the
Universe
that
is
worse
,
or
more
terrible
.
What
can
be
worse
,
quo
Sancho
,
for
they
say
,
that
in
Hell
there
is
no
Retention
.
Retention
!
quo
Don
Quixote
,
what
dost
thou
mean
by
that
cramp
word
?
Why
,
Retention
,
answer'd
Sancho
,
is
as
much
as
to
say
,
That
they
who
are
once
in
Hell
,
never
come
out
again
:
which
shall
not
be
your
hard
fate
this
bout
,
if
I
can
stir
my
Heels
to
quick'n
Rosinante
.
And
for
Madam
Dulcinea
,
when
I
come
to
be
admitted
into
her
presence
,
I
will
tell
her
such
wonderful
and
dreadful
Stories
of
your
Madness
,
and
Extravagancies
,
that
I
will
make
her
as
supple
as
a
Glove
,
tho
she
had
a
Heart
of
Oak
.
And
when
I
have
drawn
from
her
an
Answer
as
sweet
as
Metheglin
,
away
will
I
come
flying
through
the
Air
,
as
swift
as
a
Witch
upon
a
Broom-stick
,
to
relieve
ye
out
of
your
Purgatory
:
for
I
will
have
it
Purgatory
,
and
not
Hell
,
because
there
is
some
hopes
you
may
return
to
your
Senses
again
.
Let
it
be
so
then
,
said
Don
Quixote
;
but
how
shall
we
do
to
write
this
Letter
,
for
I
have
neither
Paper
nor
Ink
,
unless
we
should
write
upon
the
Leaves
of
the
Trees
,
as
they
did
in
former
times
.
But
now
I
think
on
't
,
I
have
Cardenio's
Table-book
,
which
will
help
us
out
at
a
dead
lift
;
and
then
thou
shalt
get
the
Letter
fairly
transcrib'd
at
the
first
Village
,
where
thou
canst
meet
with
a
Schoolmaster
that
can
write
true
Orthography
.
Or
,
for
want
of
a
Schoolmaster
,
get
the
Clark
of
the
Parish
to
do
it
;
but
be
sure
thou
never
troubl
st
a
Lawyer
,
for
the
Devil
himself
will
never
be
able
to
read
Court-hand
;
more
especially
beware
of
one
that
writes
Sermons
;
for
I
hate
Short-hand
mortally
.
But
how
shall
I
do
for
a
Seal
,
reply'd
Sancho
?
A
brass
Farthing
will
serve
,
answer'd
Don
Quixote
;
tho
I
do
not
remember
that
ever
Amadis
made
use
of
any
Seal
.
But
the
Bill
of
Exchange
must
be
sign'd
,
or
else
they
will
say
't
is
counterfeit
,
and
so
we
shall
lose
our
Asses
.
The
Bill
shall
be
written
in
the
Table-book
,
with
my
Sign
Manual
;
and
when
my
Neece
sees
my
Hand
,
she
'l
never
scruple
the
delivery
of
the
Asses
.
And
as
for
the
Love-letter
,
do
thou
get
it
thus
underwritten
;
Yours
till
Death
,
the
Knight
of
the
Ill-favour'd
Countenance
.
't
is
no
matter
for
the
Letter
and
the
Subscription
to
be
all
of
one
Hand
;
for
as
I
remember
,
Dulcinea
can
neither
write
nor
read
,
nor
did
she
ever
see
any
of
my
Writing
in
her
Life
.
For
our
Amours
have
always
been
meerly
Platonick
;
and
tho
I
may
safely
swear
,
that
for
above
these
twelve
Years
she
has
been
dearer
to
me
then
my
life
,
yet
I
never
saw
her
but
four
times
;
and
I
question
whether
she
her self
took
notice
that
ever
I
look'd
upon
her
,
so
strict
a
watch
did
old
Richard
Hogg
of
Stanwel
,
her
Father
,
and
Joan
Hogg
her
Mother
,
keep
over
her
.
Cuds-bobs
,
cry'd
Sancho
,
and
is
Dulcinea
del
Toboso
the
Daughter
of
Dick
Hogg
of
Stanwel
,
otherwise
Nan
Hogg
?
Uds-fish
,
I
know
her
as
well
as
her
Mother
that
bore
her
;
she
's
a
Strapper
y'
faith
,
and
pitches
the
Bar
with
e're
a
young
Fellow
i'
the
Village
.
The
very
same
,
quo
Don
Quixote
,
that
's
she
,
and
she
that
deserves
to
be
Mistress
of
the
whole
Earth
.
Is
that
she
,
quo
Sancho
!
she
's
a
Bouncer
,
Begar-law
;
and
one
that
will
keep
her
Chin
out
o'
the
Mire
,
I
warrant
her
,
in
despite
of
the
best
Knight
Errant
that
wears
a
Head
,
Long
Megg
of
Westminster
was
a
Dwarf
to
her
.
One
day
I
remember
,
she
stood
upon
the
top
of
our
Steeple
to
call
the
Plough-men
home
to
dinner
,
that
were
at
work
above
half
a
League
off
;
yet
they
heard
her
as
plain
,
as
if
they
had
been
just
under
the
Sun-dial
.
The
best
thing
I
know
in
her
,
is
,
That
she
is
not
Coy
,
but
will
bid
ye
kiss
the
top
of
her
Nock
as
briskly
as
e're
a
Coggshall
Wench
that
goes
to
Market
;
there
's
ne're
a
Water-man
upon
the
Thames
can
out-rally
her
.
In
good
truth
,
Sir
Knight
of
the
Ill-favour'd
Countenance
,
you
may
venture
as
many
Cat-leaps
as
you
please
;
you
may
run
mad
,
you
may
hang
your self
for
her
sake
,
there
's
no
body
but
will
say
y'
are
a
happy
Man
,
tho
the
Devil
himself
should
be
so
kind
as
to
carry
ye
away
a
pick-pack
.
Nan
Hogg
!
good
God!
how
I
broil
to
see
the
Tom-boy
!
for
I
have
not
seen
her
this
many
a
day
.
Surely
she
must
be
strangely
alter'd
by
this
time
,
for
the
Sun
,
and
the
Weather
,
and
continual
working
i'
the
Fields
,
are
wicked
Enemies
to
female
Beauty
.
How
strangely
have
I
liv'd
in
Ignorance
all
this
while
!
In
good
faith
,
Sir
Don
Quixote
,
I
durst
ha'
sworn
this
Madam
Dulcinea
had
been
some
great
Princess
,
or
some
Lady
of
high
Quality
,
that
was
still
to
be
presented
with
the
Spoils
of
your
Conquests
,
the
Biscayner
,
the
rescu'd
Slaves
,
and
all
the
Trophies
of
your
future
Victories
.
By
my
troth
,
I
cannot
chuse
but
laugh
to
think
,
if
the
Biscayner
or
the
Slaves
had
been
such
Fools
to
have
gone
,
and
found
Madam
Fusty-luggs
peeling
o'
Hemp
,
or
threshing
i'
the
Barn
,
what
a
pretty
sight
it
would
ha'
been
to
ha'
seen
'em
throw
themselves
at
the
Feet
of
Madam
Dowdy-Rampant
,
in
a
single
short
Petticoat
,
shewing
her
darn'd
Hose
,
and
patch'd
Slip
shoes
?
Certainly
they
wou'd
ha'
thought
the
Devil
had
ow'd
'em
a
Shame
;
nor
could
Madam
Brawny-Arms
have
lookt
upon
it
otherwise
then
an
Abuse
.
I
have
oft'n
times
told
thee
,
Sancho
,
that
thy
long
Tongue
wants
clipping
;
and
that
tho
thou
art
a
Coxcomb
and
a
Dunce
,
yet
now
and
then
thy
Frumps
bite
too
close
.
And
to
shew
thee
,
that
my
Discretion
exceeds
thy
Folly
,
I
must
tell
thee
in
the
first
place
,
that
I
mind
little
what
thou
say'st
;
in
the
second
place
,
I
tell
thee
again
,
that
as
to
the
use
which
I
make
of
the
Lady
Dulcinea
,
she
surpasses
all
the
Princesses
in
the
World
,
according
to
the
Proverb
;
for
,
Joan's
as
good
as
my
Lady
i'
the
dark
.
Prethee
tell
me
dost
think
the
Phillis's
,
the
Silvia's
,
the
Diana's
,
the
Amarantha's
,
that
appear
in
so
many
Poems
and
Sonnets
,
and
upon
so
many
Stages
,
were
Creatures
made
of
Flesh
and
Blood
,
or
the
real
Mistresses
of
those
that
sung
their
Encomium's
?
No
,
no
,
never
think
it
.
For
let
all
your
Rimers
bring
a
Scandalum
Poetarum
against
me
if
they
dare
;
I
say
they
were
meerly
Imaginations
of
the
Poets
for
a
Ground-work
,
upon
which
to
exercise
their
Wits
.
't
is
sufficient
for
me
,
that
Nan
Hogg
is
fair
and
chast
;
as
for
her
Birth
and
Parentage
,
I
value
'em
not
of
Two-pence
;
and
without
troubling
my self
to
examine
her
Pedegree
any
farther
,
I
am
satisfy'd
that
she
is
a
great
Princess
.
For
,
Sancho
,
Pox
take
thee
,
thou
art
to
know
,
that
the
Vertues
which
chiefly
oblige
us
to
love
a
Woman
,
are
Snout-fairness
and
Wisdom
,
with
both
of
which
Dulcinea
is
endow'd
to
the
height
of
Perfection
,
as
being
,
without
all
Dispute
,
the
most
snout-fair
and
prudent
Female
in
the
World
All
the
Helena's
and
Lucretia's
,
all
the
Heroesses
of
former
Ages
,
Greeks
,
Romans
,
or
Barbarians
,
were
not
worthy
to
be
her
Kitchen-maids
;
and
let
'em
say
what
they
will
,
if
Fools
contradict
me
,
I
am
sure
men
of
Sense
,
if
they
have
but
try'd
her
once
,
will
be
o'
my
side
.
Sir
,
quo
Sancho
,
you
speak
reason
in
every
thing
,
and
I
am
the
Ass
;
the
Devil
take
me
for
speaking
that
word
;
for
't
is
ill
talking
of
Halters
i'
the
House
of
a
Man
that
was
hang'd
.
But
where
's
the
Letter
all
this
while
,
for
I
long
to
be
going
.
With
that
,
Don
Quixote
pull'd
out
the
Table-book
,
and
retiring
a
little
aside
,
in
a
short
time
finish'd
his
Epistle
.
Which
having
done
,
he
call'd
Sancho
to
him
,
and
order'd
him
to
list'n
while
he
read
it
over
to
him
;
for
,
quo
he
,
't
is
a
thousand
pound
to
a
Farthing
if
thou
dost
not
fall
a
drinking
by
the
way
,
and
lose
the
Table-book
,
therefore
I
would
have
thee
carry
it
as
well
i'
thy
Memory
,
as
i'
thy
Pocket
;
for
I
think
no
body
so
sottish
as
to
pick
thy
Brains
.
Pray
Sir
,
quo
Sancho
,
tear
the
Table-book
,
and
gi'
me
two
or
three
Copies
;
for
to
think
I
can
learn
it
by
heart
,
is
a
Madness
,
especially
seeing
my
Memory
is
so
bad
,
that
sometimes
I
forget
my
own
Name
.
However
,
you
may
read
the
Letter
if
you
please
,
that
I
may
understand
how
so
write
to
a
Mistress
o'
my
own
,
should
I
have
occasion
.
Well
then
,
quo
Don
Quixote
,
be
uncover'd
and
list'n
.
The
LETTER
.
HE
that
is
stabb'd
to
the
quick
with
the
Poignard
of
Absence
,
and
wounded
to
the
Heart
with
the
Darts
of
his
own
Guilt
,
sends
thee
that
Health
,
which
he
wants
himself
.
If
thy
Beauty
disdain
me
;
if
thy
Vertue
refuse
my
Affection
;
if
thou
resolv'dst
to
bubble
me
,
maugre
all
your
Shams
,
and
your
Canting
;
as
I
am
your
Martyr
,
I
have
Patience
enough
to
pocket
up
all
your
Disdains
.
As
to
what
remains
,
ingrateful
fair
One
,
and
beloved
Enemy
of
my
Repose
,
my
faithful
Squire
will
give
thee
an
Account
of
what
I
suffer
for
thy
sake
.
If
thou
pity'st
me
,
I
am
thine
;
if
not
,
take
thy
own
Course
,
and
set
up
for
a
rich
Widow
,
while
I
end
my
Days
in
Sorrow
to
satisfie
thy
Cruelty
,
and
my
own
Fancy
.
Yours
till
Death
,
The
Knight
of
the
Ill-favour'd
Countenance
.
By
all
the
Sins
that
ever
I
committed
,
quo
Sancho
,
let
me
die
if
ever
I
read
such
a
matchless
Piece
in
all
the
Mysteries
of
Love
and
Eloquence
,
Academies
of
Complements
,
or
Cupid's
Cabinets
that
ever
came
forth
.
By
the
Maiden-head
o'
my
Sister
,
I
believe
you
are
able
to
say
or
write
what
you
please
your self
.
For
certainly
never
human
Wit
brought
in
so
neatly
by
Head
and
Shoulders
,
yours
till
death
,
the
Knight
of
the
Ill-favour'd
Countenance
.
A
Man
of
my
Profession
,
reply'd
Don
Quixote
,
must
understand
all
things
.
Pray
,
Sir
,
then
quo
Sancho
,
write
the
Bill
of
Exchange
for
the
three
Asses
,
and
write
your
Subscription
plain
,
that
it
may
be
known
to
be
your
hand
.
Which
the
frantick
Champion
did
,
and
then
read
it
in
this
Form
.
Niece
:
PRay
pay
,
upon
sight
of
this
my
first
Bill
,
three
Asses
of
the
five
,
which
I
have
at
home
,
to
Sancho
my
trusty
Squire
,
for
the
Value
receiv'd
of
him
here
:
And
for
your
so
doing
,
This
,
together
with
his
Acquittance
,
shall
be
your
Discharge
.
Given
in
the
very
Bowels
of
the
Black
Mountain
,
the
26th
.
of
August
,
Anno
6666.
't
is
very
well
,
quo
Sancho
,
there
wants
only
your
Subscription
.
There
needs
no
Subscription
,
answer'd
Don
Quixote
;
yet
I
'le
set
my
Mark
,
if
thou
wilt
,
and
that
's
sufficient
for
three
Asses
.
Well
,
Sir
,
quo
Sancho
,
I
rely
upon
your
Worships
Honesty
,
and
so
give
me
your
Blessing
,
for
I
intend
to
be
gone
presently
,
without
troubling
my self
to
see
any
more
of
your
Fopdoodleries
;
for
I
am
so
sure
of
your
performance
,
that
I
dare
swear
to
more
then
will
serve
your
turn
.
However
,
cry'd
Don
Quixote
,
prethee
stay
and
see
me
stark
naked
before
thou
go'st
;
for
I
would
fain
have
thee
see
me
dance
a
matter
of
twenty
or
thirty
new
Borees
A-la-mode
du
Bedlam
,
that
thou
mayst
be
able
to
swear
with
an
unspotted
Conscience
;
they
'l
be
done
in
a
trice
;
as
for
Example
—
Hold
—
hold
—
Sir
,
for
the
Love
of
God
,
let
me
not
see
ye
naked
for
fear
of
turning
my
Stomach
,
which
is
very
queasie
at
this
time
.
But
if
I
must
see
any
more
of
your
Gambols
,
Sir
,
perform
'em
i'
your
Clothes
,
and
do
what
ye
do
briefly
,
and
no
more
then
what
is
absolutely
material
;
for
the
sooner
I
go
,
the
sooner
I
shall
return
.
And
now
gi'
me
leave
to
tell
ye
,
I
love
ye
so
well
,
that
if
Madam
Dulcinea
does
not
satisfie
my
Expectations
,
I
'le
foot-ball
her
Guts
till
she
spew
up
Answers
according
to
my
mind
.
For
't
is
not
to
be
endur'd
,
that
a
Knight
of
your
Quality
should
suffer
thus
,
without
Rime
or
Reason
,
for
such
a
Tinker's
Trull
as
she
—
That
's
the
best
I
can
say
,
but
I
shall
tell
her
a
piece
more
o'
my
Mind
,
if
I
find
her
acting
the
fliperous
Minx
i'
my
Company
.
Why
,
how
now
,
Sancho
,
quo
Don
Quixote
,
I
think
thou
art
grown
as
mad
as
my self
.
Not
so
mad
neither
,
quo
Sancho
,
but
in
a
damn'd
pelting
Chafe
,
as
I
think
I
have
reason
:
But
let
that
pass
.
And
now
I
think
on
't
,
how
will
ye
do
for
Victuals
when
I
am
gone
?
Here
are
no
Monsieur
Lockets
,
nor
Monsieur
Choquee's
i'
this
Mountain
:
d'
ye
intend
to
rob
the
Goat-herds
of
their
Bread
and
Cheese
as
Cardenio
did
?
Never
let
that
trouble
thy
unmannerly
Brain
,
quo
Don
Quixote
,
for
tho
I
liv'd
next
door
to
the
two
Blew
Balls
,
I
would
feed
upon
nothing
but
the
Herbs
of
the
Field
;
for
the
Curiosity
of
my
Business
lies
in
half
starving
my self
,
and
such
like
austere
Practices
of
Piety
.
There
is
another
thing
too
,
quo
Sancho
,
I
am
very
much
afraid
of
,
and
that
is
,
That
I
shall
never
be
able
to
find
the
way
to
this
Place
,
't
is
such
a
By-hole
.
Take
good
notice
of
it
beforehand
,
quo
Don
Quixote
;
for
I
do
not
intend
to
budge
from
hence
,
till
thy
return
;
beside
that
,
I
intend
sometimes
to
stand
Sentinel
upon
the
top
of
yonder
Rock
to
observe
thy
coming
.
But
't
is
good
to
be
sure
;
and
therefore
thy
best
way
will
be
to
cut
down
a
good
number
of
Boughs
,
and
strew
'em
in
the
way
,
as
thou
rid'st
along
,
which
will
be
like
the
old
Clue
in
Woodstock
Bower
,
to
guide
thee
to
thy
Rosimand
,
thy
loving
Master
,
again
.
A
Serjeant's
Fee
well
sav'd
,
quo
Sancho
;
and
so
receiving
his
Master's
Blessing
,
after
a
Deluge
of
Tears
shed
on
both
sides
,
he
mounted
Rosinante
;
at
what
time
,
Friend
Sancho
,
quo
Don
Quixote
,
I
recommend
to
thy
care
the
best
Nag
i'
the
World
;
prethee
be
as
tender
of
him
as
the
Apple
of
thy
Eye
.
Never
doubt
it
,
quo
Sancho
,
and
so
taking
his
leave
once
more
,
he
set
forward
,
cutting
down
and
strowing
several
Boughs
as
he
rid
,
according
to
advice
.
But
he
was
scarce
out
of
sight
,
when
he
return'd
again
the
same
way
he
came
;
and
being
ask'd
by
his
Master
,
what
he
would
have
?
Sir
,
said
he
,
I
have
consider'd
of
your
Counsel
,
and
like
it
wondrous
well
;
and
therefore
that
I
may
swear
with
a
safe
Conscience
,
I
desire
to
see
some
three
or
four
more
of
your
raving
Conundrums
before
I
go
.
Why
did
I
not
tell
thee
so
,
quo
Don
Quixote
,
and
therefore
stay
but
while
a
Man
that
's
in
haste
may
mumble
over
his
Creed
,
and
I
'le
shew
thee
half
a
dozen
;
and
with
that
,
slipping
off
his
Breeches
naked
to
the
waste
,
he
gave
two
Frisks
i'
the
Air
,
and
falling
upon
the
Paums
of
his
hands
,
fetch'd
his
heels
over
his
head
,
like
a
Tumbler
,
four
times
one
after
another
,
discovering
such
a
Nest
of
Deformity
,
that
Sancho
asham'd
to
behold
it
,
turn'd
his
Horse's
head
,
and
rode
away
,
fully
satisfy'd
that
he
might
swear
,
without
Forfeiture
of
his
Ears
,
his
Master
was
mad
.
And
so
we
leave
him
a
while
to
finish
his
Journey
,
till
he
return
;
which
will
not
be
long
.
CHAP.
XII
.
A
Continuation
of
the
Amorous
Pranks
which
the
courtly
Knight
of
the
Mancha
plaid
in
the
Black
Mountain
.
THE
Story
saies
,
That
as
soon
as
the
Knight
of
the
Ill-favour'd
Countenance
saw
himself
alone
,
after
he
had
accomplish'd
all
his
frisking
and
tumbling
Ceremonies
,
he
ascended
to
the
top
of
a
high
Rock
,
and
there
began
to
consider
with
himself
what
Resolution
to
take
in
a
knotty
Business
,
that
very
much
perplex'd
his
Mind
,
whether
he
were
best
to
imitate
Orlando
in
his
Fury
,
or
Amadis
in
his
Melancholly
Extravagances
.
To
which
purpose
,
discoursing
with
himself
,
If
that
Orlando
,
said
he
,
was
so
brave
and
valiant
a
Knight
,
as
they
say
he
was
,
I
do
not
much
wonder
,
in
regard
he
was
inchanted
,
so
that
he
could
not
be
slain
but
by
a
Pin
thrust
through
the
bottom
of
his
Foot
,
upon
which
he
always
wore
Shoes
that
had
sixteen
Soles
a
piece
;
yet
that
all
this
stood
him
in
no
stead
when
he
met
with
Bernardo
del
Carpio
,
who
understanding
his
Inchantment
,
stifl'd
him
to
death
in
his
Arms
in
the
Vale
of
the
Red
Horse
.
But
setting
aside
his
Valour
,
let
us
examine
his
madness
;
for
that
he
was
frantick
,
is
beyond
all
dispute
;
and
fell
mad
upon
the
News
which
the
Shepherd
brought
him
of
the
fair
Angelica's
being
debauch'd
by
Medor
the
Moor
,
with
the
curled
Locks
and
Agramant's
Page
.
Now
if
he
were
satisfy'd
,
that
his
Lady
had
pick'd
up
a
Stone
with
her
Ear
,
no
wonder
he
should
run
mad
.
But
how
shall
I
be
able
exactly
to
imitate
him
in
his
Frenzy
,
not
having
the
same
Cause
.
For
I
dare
take
my
Oath
before
all
the
Masters
in
Chancery
i'
the
World
,
that
Dulcinea
del
Toboso
never
saw
the
Moor
,
since
her
Mother
first
wip'd
her
Tail
.
So
that
I
should
do
her
a
great
Injury
to
turn
stark
staring
mad
like
Orlando
.
On
the
other
side
,
I
find
that
Amadis
got
as
much
Reputation
for
being
a
Lover
,
as
he
,
tho
he
never
lost
his
Wits
,
and
rav'd
like
a
meer
Bedlam
,
as
he
did
.
For
which
he
had
no
other
Reason
,
as
the
Story
relates
,
but
because
the
fair
Oriana
despis'd
him
,
bidding
him
get
out
of
her
Chamber
,
and
come
when
she
sent
for
him
.
And
this
was
the
true
and
only
Reason
why
he
retir'd
to
the
Poor
Rock
with
the
Hermite
,
where
he
snivell'd
,
and
whin'd
,
and
cry'd
,
and
fill'd
a
whole
Tun
of
Heidelbergh
with
his
Tears
;
till
Heav'n
at
length
took
pity
of
him
,
and
sent
him
Relief
in
the
height
of
his
Affliction
,
and
in
the
Severity
of
his
Penance
.
Which
being
true
,
as
I
know
it
is
,
why
should
I
trouble
my self
to
tear
the
Clothes
off
my
back
,
to
quarrel
with
Trees
,
and
dam
up
Fountains
that
never
did
me
any
harm
.
Then
long
live
the
Memory
of
Amadis
,
let
him
be
the
Pattern
for
Don
Quixote
of
the
Mancha
to
imitate
;
and
let
it
be
said
of
him
,
as
was
said
of
the
other
,
That
if
he
did
not
perform
such
great
Atchievements
,
yet
his
Heart
was
good
;
and
tho
Dulcinea
did
not
bid
him
be
gone
,
yet
he
went
away
of
himself
.
Therefore
turn
out
Boys
,
all
Hands
aloft
,
and
may
the
noble
Actions
of
Amadis
inspire
me
to
find
out
the
true
way
to
follow
his
Example
.
This
said
,
he
call'd
to
mind
that
Amadis
spent
most
of
his
time
in
Prayer
;
to
which
purpose
he
made
him
a
Rosary
of
Acorns
,
instead
of
Beads
:
But
he
was
extremely
troubl'd
for
want
of
a
Hermite
to
hear
his
Confession
,
and
give
him
Absolution
.
However
,
he
divertis'd
himself
with
walking
up
and
down
the
Meadow
,
and
writing
his
Contemplations
sometimes
i'
the
Dust
,
sometimes
upon
the
Barks
of
Trees
,
all
compos'd
in
Meeter
,
and
accommodated
to
the
sadness
of
his
Condition
,
only
that
the
Praises
of
Dulcinea
were
interlarded
in
every
one
.
And
it
was
a
thousand
pities
we
could
find
none
that
were
legible
and
entire
,
but
only
these
that
follow
.
The
VERSES
.
YE
spreading
Shades
of
lofty
Trees
,
So
fair
and
lovely
to
the
Sight
;
And
you
more
humble
Plants
,
for
Man
And
Beast
,
both
Pasture
and
Delight
;
If
my
Complaints
may
Pity
move
,
Let
your
Attention
my
Complaints
approve
.
Alas
!
—
I
dye
;
And
there
's
good
Reason
too
;
for
why
?
I
am
in
love
up
to
the
Ears
;
Turn'd
Fool
,
y'
Faith
,
i'
my
old
Years
.
Hear
then
,
O
hear
,
a
wretched
Knight
,
That
moans
and
groans
both
Day
and
Night
.
I
pule
and
blubbler
,
cry
and
whine
,
And
all
for
want
of
my
Dulcina
del
Toboso
.
Love
burns
me
like
a
Glass-house
Fire
,
As
if
my
Flames
did
all
conspire
To
melt
my
Armour
from
my
Back
.
Yet
lying
thus
upon
the
Rack
,
Ask
me
the
reason
of
my
Woe
,
The
Devil
take
me
,
if
I
know
.
Only
I
swagger
,
swear
,
and
rave
,
Then
Bedlam-like
,
shew
all
I
have
,
And
make
a
Noise
,
like
any
Swine
,
For
fear
they
steal
away
Dulcina
del
Toboso
.
Knight-Errants
formerly
could
find
Adventures
fitted
to
their
mind
,
In
every
Bush
and
hollow
Tree
:
The
Devil
a'
one
can
I
hear
see
.
But
stead
of
Dragons
and
huge
Snakes
,
I
meet
with
only
Briers
and
Brakes
.
I
must
confess
,
for
some
Variety
,
That
little
Whipster
of
a
Deity
,
He
that
,
for
Love
,
makes
Men
to
burn
,
Encounters
me
at
every
turn
;
Which
makes
me
bellow
,
bleat
,
and
whine
,
For
fear
they
steal
my
dear
Dulcina
del
Toboso
.
This
was
the
Employment
of
our
Amorous
Knight
in
this
same
mountainous
Desart
;
who
forgot
not
also
to
call
upon
the
Fawns
and
Silvans
of
those
Groves
,
the
Nymphs
of
the
Rivers
,
and
the
mournful
Echo
,
with
great
Importunity
imploring
their
Attention
,
Condolement
,
and
Assistance
.
And
when
his
Devotions
were
over
,
his
Stomach
would
set
him
at
work
to
pick
Sallets
for
the
support
of
Nature
.
Which
sort
of
Horse
Diet
,
without
Bread
,
or
Oil
and
Vinegar
,
reduc'd
him
to
such
a
meager
Condition
,
that
had
Sancho
staid
three
Weeks
,
as
he
tarry'd
but
three
Days
,
his
Mother
that
bore
him
,
would
never
have
known
the
Child
of
her
own
Womb
.
Let
us
therefore
leave
our
Hero
to
his
Sobbs
,
and
his
Sighs
,
his
Dumps
and
his
Meditations
,
and
see
how
Sancho
behav'd
himself
in
his
Embassy
.
Who
getting
clear
of
the
Mountain
,
took
the
direct
Road
to
Toboso
,
and
the
next
day
about
noon
arriv'd
near
the
Inn
where
he
had
been
toss'd
i'
the
Blanket
.
He
no
sooner
descry'd
it
,
but
a
sudden
shivering
seiz'd
his
Bones
,
and
he
fancy'd
himself
to
be
again
at
Leap-frog
i'
the
Air
;
so
that
he
had
a
good
mind
to
have
rode
farther
before
he
drew
bit
,
tho
it
were
Dinner-time
,
and
the
poor
Squire
had
eat'n
nothing
of
a
long
time
.
But
necessity
constraining
,
he
advanc'd
to
the
Inn-Gate
,
where
,
while
he
sate
musing
whether
he
should
enter
or
no
,
two
men
came
forth
,
and
believing
they
knew
him
,
cry'd
one
to
t'other
,
Is
not
that
Sancho
Pancha
,
whom
the
Governess
told
us
the
Knight
had
inveigl'd
along
with
him
to
be
his
Squire
?
't
is
the
same
,
answer'd
the
Curate
;
and
more
then
that
,
he
rides
Don
Quixote's
Horse
.
These
two
happen'd
to
be
the
Curate
and
the
Barber
,
that
upon
a
severe
Examination
,
had
pass'd
that
dreadful
Sentence
upon
the
Books
.
Thereupon
being
confirm'd
they
were
i'
the
right
,
they
call'd
him
by
his
Name
,
and
ask'd
him
where
he
had
left
Don
Quixote
?
Sancho
,
who
knew
'em
full
well
,
being
loath
to
discover
his
Master's
Condition
;
Gentlemen
,
said
he
,
my
Master
is
very
deeply
engag'd
in
a
Business
of
great
Importance
,
which
I
dare
not
discover
for
my
life
.
No
,
no
,
Friend
Sancho
,
reply'd
the
Barber
,
we
must
not
part
wi'
ye
so
,
unless
you
tell
us
where
you
have
left
your
Master
;
otherwise
we
shall
believe
you
have
murder'd
him
,
and
robb'd
him
of
his
Horse
.
In
short
,
either
tell
us
where
your
Master
is
,
or
resolve
to
go
to
Newgate
.
Gentlemen
,
Gentlemen
,
reply'd
Sancho
,
there
's
no
need
of
so
many
Threats
,
I
am
no
Murderer
,
nor
Robber
,
but
a
Christian
,
that
leaves
every
one
to
fall
by
his
own
Destiny
,
or
by
the
Hands
of
God
that
made
him
.
As
for
my
Master
,
he
is
doing
the
most
pleasant
Penance
i'
the
World
at
the
foot
of
yonder
Mountain
;
and
so
saying
,
he
told
'em
the
whole
Story
from
the
beginning
to
the
end
;
and
how
he
was
going
with
a
Letter
to
Madam
Dulcinea
of
Toboso
,
alias
Nan
Hogg
,
with
whom
his
Master
was
most
desperately
fall'n
in
love
.
Thereupon
the
Curate
and
the
Barber
desir'd
to
see
the
Letter
:
To
whom
Sancho
made
Answer
,
That
it
was
written
in
a
Table-book
,
but
that
his
Master
had
order'd
him
to
get
it
transcrib'd
upon
Guilt-paper
,
at
the
next
Village
he
came
at
.
Whereupon
the
Curate
promising
to
write
it
out
in
a
fair
Character
,
Sancho
put
his
hand
in
his
Pocket
to
give
the
Curate
the
Table-book
,
but
found
he
had
either
left
it
behind
him
,
or
else
that
Don
Quixote
had
forgot
to
give
it
him
.
This
fatal
Accident
put
Sancho
into
a
cold
Sweat
,
and
made
him
look
as
pale
,
as
if
he
had
been
newly
pump'd
in
an
Inns-a'-Court
.
He
turn'd
his
Pockets
th'inside
outward
,
search'd
all
his
Clothes
,
but
seeing
there
was
no
hopes
,
he
rent
his
Beard
from
his
Chin
;
and
to
punish
his
forgetful
Scull
,
be-fisted
his
Blubber-Cheeks
,
till
the
Blood
spun
from
his
Nose
.
The
Curate
and
the
Barber
beholding
him
in
such
a
Passion
,
yet
laughing
i'
their
Sleeves
,
ask'd
him
,
Why
he
so
severely
chastiz'd
himself
?
Alas
!
reply'd
Sancho
,
I
ha'
lost
at
one
time
no
less
then
three
Asses
,
of
which
the
least
was
as
big
as
a
Castle
.
How
so
,
quo
the
Barber
?
Why
I
have
lost
the
Table-book
,
reply'd
Sancho
,
wherein
was
written
the
Letter
to
Madam
Dulcinea
,
and
a
Bill
of
Exchange
,
sign'd
with
my
Master's
own
Hand
,
for
three
Asses
of
five
he
has
at
home
;
telling
'em
withal
,
how
unfortunately
he
had
lost
his
own
.
But
the
Curate
cheer'd
him
up
,
assuring
him
,
that
he
would
give
him
another
Bill
in
Paper
,
more
authentick
then
that
which
was
written
in
the
Table-book
,
which
was
not
in
due
form
.
Nay
then
,
quo
Sancho
,
I
care
not
a
Straw
for
the
loss
of
Dulcinea's
Letter
,
for
I
can
say
it
almost
by
heart
,
and
the
Curate
might
transcribe
it
when
he
pleas'd
.
Let
's
hear
it
then
,
quo
the
Barber
.
Thereupon
Sancho
beginning
to
study
for
the
Words
,
fell
a
scratching
his
Noddle
,
stood
first
upon
one
Foot
,
then
upon
another
,
gap'd
upon
the
Skies
,
skowl'd
upon
the
Ground
;
laid
one
Hand
upon
his
Eyes
,
and
bit
his
Nails
of
the
other
:
But
at
length
despairing
to
recover
what
he
scratch'd
for
,
I
'le
be
hang'd
,
quo
he
,
if
the
Devil
han't
a
Hand
i'
this
Plot
;
for
o'
my
Soul
,
Mr.
Curate
,
I
can
remember
nothing
of
this
confounded
Letter
,
but
only
that
there
was
at
the
beginning
,
High
and
Subterrane
Lady
.
Soveraign
Lady
,
you
would
say
,
quo
the
Barber
,
not
Subterrane
.
Ay
,
Ay
,
y'
are
i'
the
right
,
Mr.
Barber
,
quo
Sancho
;
but
stay
,
I
think
there
was
this
too
that
follow'd
;
He
that
lies
awake
for
want
of
Sleep
,
and
wounded
by
your
Abscence
,
kisses
your
Ladiship's
Hands
,
most
ungrateful
and
disdainful
fair
One
.
Something
also
he
mention'd
concerning
Health
and
Sickness
,
which
he
wish'd
her
;
and
thus
rambling
on
a
good
while
,
he
concluded
with
,
Yours
till
Death
,
The
Knight
of
the
Ill-favour'd
Countenance
.
Sancho's
excellent
Memory
made
the
Curate
and
the
Barber
very
good
Sport
,
insomuch
that
they
desir'd
him
to
repeat
it
over
three
or
four
times
,
which
he
did
very
freely
;
but
still
every
time
he
made
some
Addition
or
Alteration
,
which
was
extremely
pleasant
.
Then
he
told
'em
,
that
if
he
return'd
with
a
kind
Answer
from
Madam
Dulcinea
,
that
his
Master
was
resolv'd
to
prosecute
his
Travels
,
and
make
himself
an
Emperor
,
or
some
Potent
Monarch
at
least
;
which
it
was
easie
for
his
Master
to
do
,
considering
his
Stength
and
Courage
.
Which
being
done
,
his
Master
would
marry
him
to
one
of
the
Empresses
Maids
of
Honour
,
Heiress
to
a
large
Earldom
upon
the
Continent
,
for
that
he
was
weary
of
Islands
.
All
which
being
spok'n
by
Sancho
so
feelingly
,
and
so
seriously
,
ever
and
anon
rubbing
his
Nose
,
and
stroking
his
Beard
,
to
signifie
the
Assurance
of
his
Hopes
,
did
not
a
little
amuse
both
the
Curate
and
Barber
,
till
they
consider'd
the
prevalent
Influences
of
pleasing
Dreams
upon
Fancies
easie
to
be
deluded
.
However
,
they
thought
it
not
worth
their
while
to
rectifie
his
Judgment
,
seeing
it
was
a
harmless
Inchantment
of
the
Senses
,
that
tended
to
nothing
of
mischievous
Design
.
And
therefore
they
exhorted
him
to
pray
for
the
long
Life
and
Health
of
his
Master
,
in
regard
it
was
no
improbable
thing
,
but
that
in
time
by
his
Prowess
he
might
either
become
an
Emperor
,
or
by
his
Prudence
,
an
Arch-bishop
.
How
!
an
Arch-bishop
,
quo
Sancho
!
Pray
,
Gentlemen
,
what
Rewards
do
Arch-bishop-Errants
bestow
upon
their
Squires
?
Why
,
it
may
be
some
good
Benefice
or
Chaplain
ship
;
or
else
they
make
'em
their
Clerks
or
Sextons
,
or
else
their
Vergers
,
which
brings
'em
in
a
good
Revenue
;
besides
the
Honour
of
wearing
a
Scarf
,
tho
they
be
no
Doctors
by
their
Degrees
.
Oh
,
but
then
,
besides
that
the
Squire
must
not
be
marry'd
,
he
must
be
a
Man
of
Learning
,
and
be
able
to
preach
sometimes
,
or
at
least
,
to
make
your
Syllogisms
against
men
that
write
against
his
Master
.
But
for
me
that
am
marry'd
,
and
can
hardly
read
my
Horn-book
,
what
will
become
of
me
,
if
my
Master
should
take
a
fancy
to
be
an
Arch-bishop
?
Set
thy
Heart
at
rest
,
Friend
Sancho
,
quo
the
Barber
,
we
'l
talk
to
him
about
it
,
and
the
Curate
shall
enjoyn
him
under
the
Penalty
of
Damnation
,
rather
to
be
an
Emperor
then
an
Arch-bishop
:
Which
will
be
much
better
for
him
,
in
regard
he
is
more
valiant
then
learned
.
I
am
of
your
Opinion
,
quo
Sancho
,
tho
for
my
part
,
I
believe
he
is
as
well
fitted
for
the
one
as
the
other
.
However
,
the
Burthen
of
my
Prayers
shall
be
,
to
pray
to
God
to
grant
him
what
shall
be
most
proper
for
him
,
and
what
may
best
enable
him
to
gratifie
his
Squire
.
You
speak
like
a
wise
Man
,
and
a
good
Christian
,
quo
the
Curate
.
But
that
which
we
have
to
do
at
present
,
is
only
to
retrieve
thy
Master
from
that
unprofitable
Penance
he
has
undertak'n
;
and
therefore
let
's
first
go
to
Dinner
,
and
take
a
little
time
for
Consideration
.
Gentlemen
,
quo
Sancho
,
you
may
dine
at
leisure
,
but
I
am
in
haste
,
and
therefore
pray
send
me
out
a
little
Victuals
to
eat
o'
Horse-back
;
for
I
have
a
particular
Reason
why
I
cannot
alight
,
which
I
'le
tell
ye
another
time
.
Soon
after
the
Barber
brought
him
his
Dinner
,
and
returning
to
the
Curate
,
after
they
had
consulted
together
,
quo
the
Curate
to
the
Barber
,
I
have
thought
of
an
Expedient
,
which
is
this
:
I
will
disguise
my self
in
the
Habit
of
a
Lady-Errant
,
and
you
shall
equip
your self
after
such
a
manner
,
that
you
may
follow
me
as
my
Squire
.
In
this
posture
will
I
go
to
Don
Quixote
,
and
feigning
my self
to
be
a
distressed
Lady
,
that
wants
his
Assistance
,
beg
a
Boon
of
him
,
which
I
am
sure
he
will
not
deny
me
,
as
a
Knight-Errant
.
By
this
means
will
I
engage
him
to
revenge
an
Injury
done
me
by
a
certain
Felon
,
and
Traitor
of
a
pretended
Brother
of
the
Order
;
beseeching
him
at
the
same
time
,
not
to
desire
to
see
my
Face
,
till
he
had
done
me
Justice
upon
the
Miscreant
Violator
of
my
Honour
.
This
Bait
will
take
,
my
life
for
your's
;
he
'l
look
upon
it
as
a
Message
from
Heav'n
:
and
by
this
means
we
'll
bring
him
back
to
his
own
House
,
where
we
'l
endeavour
to
cure
him
of
his
Extravagancy
.
CHAP.
XIII
.
How
the
Curate
and
the
Barber
accomplish'd
their
Design
;
with
many
other
Occurrences
of
great
Importance
.
THE
Barber
being
highly
pleas'd
with
the
Curate's
Project
,
they
resolv'd
to
put
it
forthwith
in
Execution
.
To
which
purpose
the
Curate
borrow'd
a
compleat
Woman's-Apparel
of
the
Hostess
,
leaving
a
new
Silk
Cassock
in
Pawn
;
and
the
Barber
made
him
a
Beard
of
a
Py'd-Oxe's
Tail
,
half
Danish
,
half
grizl'd
,
with
which
the
Inn-keeper
was
wont
to
clean
his
Combs
.
The
Hostess
being
curious
to
know
what
they
intended
to
do
with
those
Gingombobs
,
the
Curate
was
forc'd
to
tell
'em
the
Story
of
Don
Quixote's
Extravagances
,
and
the
whole
Drift
of
their
Design
.
Upon
which
,
the
Inn-keeper
told
'em
the
whole
Story
of
the
Balsom
,
and
of
Sancho's
being
toss'd
in
a
Blanket
;
and
the
Hostess
willing
to
forward
their
good
Intention
,
dress'd
up
the
Curate
as
fine
as
a
Farmer's
Daughter
,
going
to
meet
her
Sweet-heart
at
a
Country-Fair
;
only
with
so
much
of
a
Gentlewoman
,
as
to
wear
a
Vizor-mask
to
hide
his
Face
and
his
Beard
.
Being
thus
fitted
with
proper
Accoutrements
,
up
got
the
Curate
upon
his
Side-saddle
,
and
the
Barber
mounted
his
Mule
,
taking
their
leave
of
the
Hostess
and
Maritornes
,
who
,
as
great
a
Sinner
as
she
was
,
vow'd
to
tell
over
her
Rosary
no
less
then
twenty
times
,
for
their
good
Success
.
But
they
had
not
rode
above
fifty
Paces
,
when
the
Curate
began
to
be
troubl'd
in
Conscience
;
and
what
d'
ye
think
was
the
Scruple
?
Why
,
he
was
afraid
,
that
the
Woman's
Habit
would
ha'
ravish'd
him
.
A
Parson
,
quo
he
to
the
Barber
,
may
Gentleman-usher
a
young
Lady
i'
the
Streets
,
which
is
as
bad
a
Sight
too
,
but
he
must
not
wear
her
Apparel
.
And
therefore
good
Neighbour
,
added
he
,
prethee
let
us
change
Sexes
,
thou
shalt
be
the
Lady
,
and
I
'le
be
the
Squire
:
Content
,
content
,
quo
the
Barber
,
I
'le
wear
the
Habit
of
a
Mahometan
,
for
a
Jest's
sake
—
Now
while
the
Barber
was
dressing
himself
and
managing
his
Pins
,
the
Curate
would
have
pretended
to
instruct
him
how
to
demean
himself
.
Prethee
,
Mr.
Curate
,
quo
the
Barber
,
a
Barber
is
next
a-kin
to
a
Tire-woman
,
and
therefore
let
me
alone
to
act
a
Lady
,
that
have
acted
with
some
Ladies
i'
my
time
,
when
I
was
a
young
Smooth-chin'd
Fellow
.
Thus
the
Hostesse's
Sunday-Gown
and
Head-gear
being
chang'd
for
the
Motley-Beard
,
they
spurr'd
on
,
while
Sancho
,
who
had
o're-tak'n
'em
by
this
time
,
entertain
d
'em
upon
the
Road
with
a
Relation
of
Don
Quixote's
antick
Behaviour
,
without
mentioning
a
Word
of
the
Money
,
or
the
Portmantle
.
For
as
much
a
Fool
as
he
was
,
he
knew
o'
which
side
his
Bread
was
butter'd
.
The
next
day
arriving
where
Sancho
had
strew'd
the
Boughs
for
his
Land-mark
,
they
made
a
stop
;
and
there
,
upon
mature
Deliberation
,
they
order'd
Sancho
not
to
take
the
least
Notice
who
they
were
;
but
when
Don
Quixote
enquir'd
for
Dulcinea's
Answer
,
that
he
should
tell
his
Master
that
she
had
sent
it
by
Word
of
Mouth
,
in
regard
she
could
neither
write
nor
read
;
which
was
,
That
upon
Pain
of
her
high
Displeasure
,
he
should
,
without
delay
,
repair
to
her
Presence
,
for
that
she
had
a
longing
Desire
to
see
and
embrace
him
.
To
which
they
added
,
That
there
was
no
way
but
this
to
recover
his
Wits
,
that
he
might
prosecute
his
Design
of
making
himself
an
Emperor
,
assuring
him
they
would
take
such
Order
,
that
he
should
never
so
much
as
dream
of
an
Arch-bishoprick
.
Sancho
thus
instructed
and
order'd
to
bring
back
Tidings
of
what
he
had
done
,
rode
on
to
seek
out
his
Master
,
leaving
the
Curate
and
the
Barber
by
the
side
of
a
Brook
,
where
the
Shade
and
Verdure
of
a
pleasant
Grove
shelter'd
'em
from
the
Heat
of
the
Sun
,
which
shone
very
hot
at
that
time
,
being
about
the
middle
of
August
.
While
they
repos'd
themselves
under
that
delightful
Canopy
,
expecting
Sancho's
return
,
they
heard
a
Voice
,
which
without
the
help
of
any
Instrument
,
seem'd
to
ravish
their
Ears
.
And
their
Admiration
was
so
much
the
greater
,
to
hear
such
Charms
of
artful
Melody
in
so
wild
and
desart
a
Solitude
:
Besides
that
,
the
Words
themselves
savour'd
something
of
rural
Composition
;
being
the
same
that
are
here
inserted
.
WHat
Female
Plague
is
this
that
haunts
my
Brain
?
Severe
Disdain
.
What
's
that
which
will
not
let
my
Soul
be
free
?
't
is
Jealousie
.
But
what
does
my
Impatience
thus
provoke
?
Long
Absence
from
a
Smock
.
Then
farewel
Frost
—
what
can
become
of
me
?
When
Two
bauk'd
Hercules
,
and
here
are
Three
.
O
pity
,
pity
thus
a
Lover
slain
By
Absence
,
Jealousie
,
and
proud
Disdain
.
What
makes
me
trifle
thus
away
my
Youth
?
Fortune
,
forsooth
.
Who
fir'd
my
Breast
,
and
does
the
Flames
improve
?
Half
Lust
,
half
Love
.
And
who
refuses
my
Complaints
to
hear
?
That
's
Heav'n
I
fear
.
Then
bad
proves
worse
,
and
I
am
lost
again
,
When
Fortune
,
Love
and
Heav'n
conspire
my
Pain
:
For
well
we
know
,
at
Foot-ball
Three
are
Odds
,
But
here
are
Six
—
Where
are
ye
,
O
ye
Gods
?
Now
what
's
the
Cure
?
the
same
that
cur'd
Mackbeth
.
Oh
Heav'ns
!
that
's
Death
.
Is
there
no
other
way
,
if
Death
should
falter
?
Oh
yes
,
a
Halter
!
But
then
I
fear
that
Men
will
call
me
Fool
;
Most
sure
they
wooll
.
How
!
die
or
hang
,
and
be
call'd
Fool
to
boot
!
As
long
as
I
can
live
,
I
'le
never
do
't
.
Then
Fortune
hang
,
hang
Jealousie
,
Disdain
,
And
Love
—
I
'le
live
,
and
never
love
again
.
The
Time
,
the
Hour
,
the
Solitariness
of
the
Place
,
the
Voice
and
Skill
,
with
which
the
unseen
Person
sang
,
so
charm'd
the
Ears
of
the
Hearers
,
that
they
determin'd
to
find
out
the
Musician
,
and
proffer
him
their
Service
;
but
hearing
the
same
Voice
begin
another
Ayr
,
they
were
easily
induc'd
to
stop
,
and
list'n
to
the
following
Words
.
I
Never
consider'd
that
Love
was
a
Cheat
,
When
first
I
began
to
woe
;
But
now
I
confess
I
find
it
,
too
late
,
That
Pleasure
and
Int'rest
govern
below
.
Men
court
not
the
Virgin
,
but
meerly
the
Action
,
And
all
to
procure
a
Self-satisfaction
;
And
now
too
,
the
Virgins
are
all
grown
so
wary
,
That
only
for
Riches
and
Honour
they
'l
marry
.
Such
a
Fool
was
I
once
to
woe
,
and
to
court
,
And
thought
my self
sure
of
my
Mistress's
Heart
;
But
when
the
Duke's
Son
came
once
to
appear
,
Away
was
I
sent
with
a
Flea
i'
my
Ear
.
The
Poets
therefore
were
a
Number
of
Owls
,
To
make
such
a
stir
with
a
Baby-fac'd
Chit
;
Employing
Priapus
to
scare
the
wild
Fowls
,
That
rules
both
our
Love
,
our
Reason
and
Wit
.
Priapus
the
Father
of
all
the
Graces
,
He
's
th'
only
Beginning
and
End
of
our
woing
;
Your
Oaths
,
and
Protests
,
and
alluring
Grimaces
,
They
all
do
but
end
in
kissing
and
doing
.
And
then
for
the
Maid
,
't
is
th'
Estate
she
would
have
,
The
Coach
and
Six
Horses
her
Love
do
encourage
;
But
alas
!
for
if
either
do
either
deceive
,
Love
presently
cools
like
a
Mess
of
Beef-Porridge
.
There
's
nothing
but
Vertue
the
Object
of
Love
,
Nor
Beauty
,
nor
Colour
,
Love
minds
i'
the
least
,
They
'r
are
only
the
Idols
of
Pleasure
,
by
Jove
,
Where
th'
Altar's
Desire
,
Priapus
High
Priest
.
Ah!
had
I
consider'd
these
things
before
,
I
had
never
run
mad
in
Sierra
Morena
;
Then
Fondness
and
Kindness
go
both
to
Gehenna
,
For
as
a
true
Lover
I
'le
never
court
more
.
This
Sonnet
concluded
with
a
deep
Sigh
,
and
Throbs
so
loud
and
vehement
,
that
the
Curate
and
Barber
,
touch'd
with
Compassion
and
Curiosity
,
resolv'd
to
find
out
who
this
distressed
Songster
was
.
Nor
was
it
long
before
they
discover'd
at
the
foot
of
a
Rock
,
a
Man
whose
Shape
and
Aspect
answer'd
directly
to
the
Description
which
Sancho
had
giv'n
of
Cardenio
,
who
spying
them
two
,
stop'd
short
,
and
stood
with
his
Chin
upon
his
Breast
,
like
one
in
a
profound
Study
,
never
so
much
as
lifting
up
his
Eyes
to
mind
what
they
did
.
The
Curate
,
who
was
a
very
charitable
Person
,
went
toward
him
,
and
in
most
obliging
Language
earnestly
besought
him
,
to
abandon
such
a
desert
Solitude
,
and
a
Course
of
life
so
forlorn
and
miserable
,
which
endanger'd
his
Salvation
,
that
was
to
be
priz'd
above
all
things
in
this
World
.
Cardenio
was
then
free
from
his
raving
Fits
;
yet
seeing
two
Persons
in
a
quite
different
Habit
then
what
was
wont
to
appear
in
those
Desarts
,
was
not
alittle
surpriz'd
at
first
;
but
then
perceiving
that
they
spoke
as
if
they
understood
something
of
his
Concerns
;
Gentlemen
,
said
he
,
whoe're
ye
be
,
I
find
Heav'n
compassionating
my
Misfortunes
,
has
brought
ye
to
these
unfrequented
Wildernesses
to
retrieve
me
from
this
affrightful
Retirement
,
and
recover
me
to
the
Society
of
Men
.
But
because
you
know
not
so
well
as
my self
,
that
the
end
of
one
Misery
will
be
but
the
beginning
of
another
;
considering
my
Condition
,
you
may
probably
take
me
for
some
unfortunate
Creature
that
has
lost
his
Reason
and
Senses
:
And
indeed
you
have
sufficient
Cause
to
think
so
.
For
I
find
by
my self
,
that
the
Remembrance
of
my
misfortunes
frequently
distracts
me
to
that
degree
,
that
I
unman
my self
for
the
time
,
and
commit
those
Extravagances
,
which
are
only
the
Effects
of
irrational
Rage
and
Frenzy
.
For
which
,
when
I
happ'n
to
be
rebuk'd
and
blam'd
,
I
can
alledge
no
other
Excuse
,
but
only
the
Cause
of
my
Misfortune
that
occasion'd
those
irregular
Actions
,
and
then
I
tell
the
Story
of
my
hard
Fate
,
to
all
that
have
the
Patience
to
hear
it
.
And
therefore
,
Gentlemen
,
if
you
come
here
with
that
Intention
,
I
desire
ye
,
before
ye
go
about
to
perswade
me
to
alter
my
Course
of
life
,
to
hear
the
Relation
of
my
woful
Calamities
;
and
then
you
will
see
,
whether
after
so
many
Sufferings
,
and
so
little
Consolation
among
men
,
I
have
not
Reason
sufficient
to
exile
my self
from
human
Converse
.
Thereupon
the
Curate
and
the
Barber
,
who
desir'd
nothing
more
then
to
hear
the
Story
from
his
own
Mouth
,
with
great
Importunity
requested
the
Favour
of
him
to
gratifie
their
Curiosity
,
assuring
him
,
That
they
had
no
Design
,
but
thereby
to
find
what
Remedies
might
be
most
sutable
to
his
Condition
.
Cardenio
then
began
,
and
went
on
with
the
first
part
of
his
Story
,
as
has
been
already
related
,
so
far
as
till
Don
Quixote
,
out
of
his
Niceness
to
observe
the
Decorum
of
Chivalry
,
gave
an
Interruption
to
the
Relation
,
by
quarrelling
about
Tom
Thumb
,
and
the
Queen
of
Trumps
.
But
Cardenio
being
now
at
leisure
to
finish
his
Story
,
and
coming
to
that
Passage
concerning
the
Billet-doux
sent
him
by
Lucinda
,
and
which
Ferdinand
found
to
be
transcrib'd
out
of
Amadis
de
Gaul
,
he
told
'em
,
that
as
far
as
he
could
remember
,
the
Contents
of
it
were
these
.
Lucinda
to
Cardenio
I
Discover
in
ye
every
day
new
Occasions
to
value
and
esteem
your
Worth
.
If
you
will
therefore
have
me
discharge
this
Debt
,
without
serving
an
Execution
upon
my
Honour
,
you
may
do
it
.
I
have
a
Father
that
knows
you
,
who
,
without
putting
any
Constraint
upon
my
Will
,
is
ready
to
condescend
to
whatever
shall
be
just
and
honourable
.
So
that
now
it
remains
with
you
to
shew
that
you
love
me
as
you
pretend
,
and
I
believe
.
This
Letter
it
was
that
embolden'd
me
to
demand
Lucinda
of
her
Father
in
Marriage
,
and
made
Don
Ferdinand
have
so
good
an
Opinion
of
her
Wit
and
Discretion
,
and
put
him
upon
a
Design
to
destroy
me
,
before
I
could
bring
my
own
Desires
to
pass
.
I
told
D.
Ferdinand
the
Scope
of
the
Answer
,
which
Lucinda's
Father
had
giv'n
me
,
That
it
was
for
my
own
Father
to
propose
the
business
first
;
which
I
durst
not
reveal
to
my
Father
,
for
fear
he
should
put
a
stop
to
my
Proceedings
.
Not
that
he
was
ignorant
of
the
Quality
,
Beauty
,
and
Vertue
of
Lucinda
,
which
were
sufficient
to
entitle
her
an
Ornament
to
the
noblest
House
in
Spain
;
but
because
he
was
unwilling
to
marry
me
,
till
he
saw
what
the
Duke
would
do
for
me
.
To
remove
this
Obstacle
,
D.
Ferdinand
proffer'd
to
speak
to
my
Father
,
and
oblige
him
to
treat
with
Lucinda's
.
And
now
who
would
have
thought
that
D.
Ferdinand
,
whose
Quality
and
Merit
render'd
him
capable
to
court
the
greatest
Ladies
in
the
Kingdom
,
and
who
pretended
so
much
Kindness
and
Friendship
for
me
,
should
lay
such
a
treacherous
Design
to
deprive
me
of
all
the
Happiness
of
my
life
?
But
so
it
was
;
for
D.
Ferdinand
finding
my
Presence
obstructed
his
Project
,
the
same
day
that
he
undertook
to
speak
to
my
Father
,
made
an
absolute
Bargain
for
six
Horses
,
and
presently
desir'd
me
to
ride
away
to
his
Brother
for
Money
to
pay
for
'
em
.
He
could
no
sooner
ask
,
but
have
of
me
;
so
little
did
I
suspect
his
Treachery
,
believing
him
to
be
a
Man
of
Honour
.
So
that
Night
I
went
to
take
my
leave
of
Lucinda
,
and
to
tell
her
what
D.
Ferdinand
had
promis'd
to
do
.
She
bid
me
make
haste
back
again
,
not
doubting
but
the
Business
would
be
done
,
so
soon
as
the
two
old
Men
had
parly'd
together
.
But
whatever
Lucinda
had
in
her
mind
at
that
time
,
I
am
sure
I
could
see
nothing
but
Tears
in
her
Eyes
;
which
put
me
into
a
great
Confusion
,
not
being
able
to
conjecture
the
Reason
of
her
Discontent
,
which
I
could
only
attribute
to
the
tenderness
of
her
Affection
,
and
unwillingness
to
part
with
me
.
In
short
,
away
I
went
full
of
Fears
,
and
jealous
Imaginations
,
for
which
I
could
give
no
reason
i'
the
Earth
.
I
deliver'd
D.
Ferdinand's
Letter
to
his
Brother
,
who
receiv'd
me
with
all
the
Kindness
imaginable
,
but
did
not
so
soon
dispatch
me
.
For
,
to
my
great
Grief
,
he
enjoyn'd
me
to
tarry
eight
days
,
and
to
keep
my self
private
,
for
fear
of
being
seen
by
the
Duke
,
for
that
his
Brother
had
sent
for
Money
unknown
to
his
Father
.
But
this
was
only
a
trick
of
D.
Ferdinand's
to
delay
my
Return
;
for
his
Brother
never
wanted
Money
,
and
might
have
presently
dispatch'd
me
,
had
he
so
pleas'd
.
Thereupon
I
was
about
to
have
return'd
without
the
Money
,
rather
then
obey
an
Injunction
so
intollerable
;
not
able
to
endure
such
a
tedious
Absence
from
Lucinda
,
considering
in
what
a
Condition
I
had
left
her
.
But
the
fear
of
disobliging
my
Father
,
and
doing
an
Action
which
I
could
not
rationally
justifie
,
prevail'd
over
my
Impatience
.
Some
four
days
after
my
Arrival
,
a
Messenger
brought
me
a
Letter
,
which
I
found
came
from
Lucinda
;
I
open'd
it
with
an
aking
Heart
,
surpriz'd
that
it
should
be
sent
by
a
man
o'
purpose
.
However
,
before
I
read
it
,
I
ask'd
the
Messenger
,
Who
gave
it
him
,
and
how
long
he
had
been
upon
the
Road
?
He
answer'd
me
,
That
passing
by
accidentally
i'
the
Street
,
a
very
fair
Lady
,
with
Tears
in
her
Eyes
,
call'd
me
to
the
Window
,
and
in
very
great
haste
;
If
you
be
a
Christian
,
said
she
,
as
you
seem
to
be
,
for
the
Love
of
God
,
take
this
Letter
,
and
carry
it
,
without
delay
,
according
to
the
Direction
,
but
deliver
it
into
the
Gentleman's
own
Hand
;
and
having
so
said
,
she
threw
me
a
Handkerchief
,
wherein
I
found
five
Guinies
,
a
Jewel
,
and
a
Letter
;
and
then
having
made
her
a
Promise
of
my
Fidelity
,
she
shut
the
Window
.
All
the
while
the
Fellow
spoke
,
a
thousand
Fears
,
and
ominous
Jealousies
assail'd
me
,
quaking
and
shiv'ring
,
like
a
man
fac'd
by
a
Fiend
at
Midnight
;
but
at
last
recollecting
my self
,
I
read
the
Letter
,
of
which
these
were
the
Contents
.
DON
Ferdinand
has
been
as
good
as
his
word
,
for
he
has
spok'n
to
your
Father
;
but
as
the
Proverb
saies
,
one
word
for
you
,
and
two
for
himself
.
He
has
demanded
me
in
Marriage
,
and
my
Father
blinded
by
the
Advantages
,
which
he
expects
from
such
an
Alliance
,
has
so
far
consented
,
that
two
days
hence
the
Marriage
is
to
be
consummated
;
and
that
so
privately
,
that
only
Heav'n
and
some
of
the
Family
are
to
be
Witnesses
.
Judge
you
how
much
I
am
concern'd
for
your
sake
;
and
therefore
hast'n
your
Return
with
all
speed
:
The
Issue
of
this
Business
shall
shew
how
much
I
am
Your's
.
I
had
no
sooner
read
the
Letter
,
but
away
I
flew
,
without
taking
leave
.
For
then
it
was
that
I
discover'd
D.
Ferdinand's
Treachery
,
and
that
he
had
sent
me
of
his
Errand
,
only
to
take
the
Advantage
of
my
Absence
.
Anger
,
Love
,
and
Impatience
furnish'd
me
with
Wings
;
so
that
I
got
home
betimes
;
and
that
Evening
I
found
Lucinda
at
the
Window
,
but
I
did
not
meet
with
that
Reception
which
I
expected
.
Cardenio
,
said
she
,
my
Wedding-clothes
are
on
,
and
they
expect
me
in
the
Hall
to
complete
the
Ceremony
.
Yet
know
,
my
Father
,
the
Traitor
Ferdinand
,
and
the
rest
,
may
be
Witnesses
of
my
Death
,
but
never
of
my
Nuptials
.
Ne're
trouble
thy self
,
my
dear
Cardenio
!
for
if
Intreaties
and
Words
will
not
prevail
,
this
Dagger
shall
do
me
Justice
;
and
the
Period
of
my
life
shall
be
an
undeniable
Proof
of
thy
Love
and
my
Fidelity
;
and
I
would
have
thee
,
if
thou
canst
,
be
present
to
behold
the
Sacrifice
.
Let
thy
Deeds
,
Lucinda
,
cry'd
I
,
make
good
thy
Words
:
For
if
thou
carry'st
a
Dagger
to
preserve
the
Truth
of
thy
Vows
and
Protestations
,
I
wear
a
Sword
,
which
if
it
be
not
able
to
defend
us
,
I
will
turn
it
upon
my
own
Breast
,
rather
then
out-live
my
Shame
.
I
cannot
tell
whether
Lucinda
heard
me
,
for
she
was
call'd
away
in
great
haste
;
at
what
time
such
was
my
Confusion
,
that
my
Eyes
,
and
my
Senses
fail'd
me
both
at
one
time
.
But
at
length
recovering
my self
,
and
considering
the
Promise
I
had
made
,
and
withal
,
how
useful
I
might
be
to
her
at
such
a
time
of
need
;
I
got
into
the
House
,
being
then
all
in
a
hurry
,
undiscover'd
by
any
body
,
and
plac'd
my self
behind
the
Hangings
in
the
Hall
,
where
two
pieces
of
Tapestry
joyn'd
,
and
gave
me
liberty
to
see
,
yet
not
be
seen
.
Ferdinand
enter'd
the
Hall
in
his
usual
Habit
,
with
only
a
Cousin-German
of
Lucinda's
,
the
rest
were
the
People
of
the
House
.
Soon
after
appear'd
Lucinda
her self
,
accompany'd
by
her
Mother
,
and
attended
by
two
of
her
Maid-Servants
,
in
a
Dress
befitting
her
Quality
,
and
answerable
to
the
Solemnity
of
the
Ceremony
;
but
notwithstanding
all
her
Pomp
,
her
Pearls
and
Jewels
were
all
eclips'd
by
the
Lustre
of
her
Beauty
.
And
now
all
Parties
being
met
,
the
cursed
Priest
enter'd
,
and
taking
the
two
betroth'd
Persons
by
the
Hands
,
he
ask'd
Lucinda
,
Whether
she
were
willing
to
take
D.
Ferdinand
for
her
wedded
Husband
?
With
that
I
thrust
out
my
Head
from
between
the
two
Tapestries
,
and
listen'd
attentively
to
hear
Lucinda's
Answer
;
which
I
look'd
upon
as
the
Sentence
of
my
Life
or
Death
.
Wretch
that
I
was
!
Who
hinder'd
me
then
from
shewing
my self
,
and
putting
Lucinda
in
mind
of
her
Promise
?
Who
prevented
me
from
laying
before
her
what
she
ow'd
me
,
and
letting
her
see
how
she
ruin'd
me
by
her
Silence
?
Who
hinder'd
me
from
taking
my
full
Revenge
upon
D.
Ferdinand
,
the
Troubler
of
my
Life's
Tranquility
,
when
my
Honour
and
my
Love
lay
at
Stake
?
All
this
while
the
Priest
tarry'd
for
Lucinda's
Answer
,
who
was
a
long
time
before
she
gave
it
:
And
I
expected
when
she
would
make
use
of
her
Dagger
,
to
disengage
her self
from
the
Labyrinth
she
was
in
,
or
plead
her
former
Vows
and
Protestations
,
and
plighted
Troth
to
my
Advantage
.
But
woe
is
me
!
at
length
with
a
faint
and
low
Voice
I
heard
her
pronounce
the
fatal
Yes
;
and
then
Ferdinand
saying
the
same
,
gave
her
the
Ring
by
which
the
indissoluble
Knot
was
ty'd
.
Which
done
,
the
Villain
Bridegroom
stepp'd
forward
to
embrace
his
Bride
,
who
laying
her
Hand
upon
her
Heart
,
swooned
away
in
her
Mother's
Arms.
You
may
easily
conjecture
the
Confusion
I
was
in
,
seeing
the
Falshood
of
Lucinda's
Promises
,
all
my
Hopes
frustrated
,
and
my self
,
with
the
saying
of
one
Word
,
depriv'd
of
the
sole
Happiness
and
Treasure
of
my
Life
.
I
look'd
upon
my self
to
be
the
Object
of
Heaven's
Wrath
,
that
had
abandon'd
me
to
the
Cruelty
of
my
Destiny
;
the
Abomination
of
the
Earth
that
gave
me
Being
,
while
the
Air
deny'd
me
Breath
sufficient
for
my
Sighs
,
and
the
Water
Moisture
to
supply
my
Eyes
.
Lucinda's
Swooning
troubl'd
the
whole
Company
,
and
her
Mother
having
unlac'd
her
to
give
her
Air
,
found
in
her
Bosom
a
Paper
seal'd
up●
which
,
when
Ferdinand
had
open'd
and
read
,
he
sate
down
in
a
Chair
with
all
the
Signs
of
Melancholy
and
Discontent
,
as
if
he
had
forgot
the
Disaster
of
his
new-marry'd
Bride
.
For
my
own
part
,
I
was
resolv'd
as
first
,
to
have
satisfy'd
my
Resentment
in
punishing
the
Perfidiousness
of
that
Traitor
Ferdinand
,
which
I
might
easily
have
done
,
considering
the
Disorder
and
Confusion
i'
the
House
at
that
time
.
But
Heav'n
that
reserves
me
perhaps
for
greater
Misfortunes
,
allow'd
me
the
use
of
that
small
Remainder
of
my
Senses
,
which
afterwards
quite
forsook
me
;
so
that
I
left
the
House
quietly
and
peaceably
,
resolving
to
inflict
the
Punishments
due
to
them
upon
my self
,
for
trusting
to
the
Faith
of
Mankind
.
The
very
same
time
I
left
the
Town
,
and
as
I
rode
along
under
the
Protection
of
Night
and
Silence
,
I
vented
my
Passion
in
Execrations
against
the
false
and
treacherous
Ferdinand
,
and
in
no
less
loud
Complaints
of
ingrateful
and
perjur'd
Lucinda's
Cruelty
.
The
next
Morning
I
found
my self
at
the
foot
of
these
Mountains
,
where
I
wander'd
for
three
Days
together
,
without
observing
any
Road
,
till
at
last
meeting
with
certain
Shepherds
in
the
adjoyning
Meadows
,
I
enquir'd
the
way
to
the
most
desart
and
solitary
part
of
the
Mountain
.
When
I
came
to
the
foot
of
these
Rocks
,
my
Mule
,
quite
tir'd
and
famish'd
,
fell
down
dead
;
and
I
my self
was
so
weak
,
and
cast
down
,
that
I
could
hardly
stand
upon
my
Feet
.
This
I
remember
,
that
finding
my self
in
that
languishing
Condition
,
I
threw
my self
upon
the
Grass
,
where
I
lay
stretch'd
forth
like
a
Corps
;
but
when
I
rose
again
,
I
could
not
perceive
I
had
any
Appetite
to
eat
;
by
which
I
conjecture
,
that
the
Shepherds
had
giv'n
me
some
sort
of
Sustenance
,
tho
I
were
not
sensible
of
their
Relief
:
And
they
told
me
afterwards
,
in
what
a
miserable
Condition
they
found
me
,
raving
and
tearing
,
that
they
thought
me
quite
out
o'
my
Wits
.
And
indeed
,
to
tell
ye
the
truth
,
I
have
not
found
my self
perfectly
in
my
Senses
never
since
;
while
my
distracted
Thoughts
have
hurry'd
me
to
commit
a
Thousand
Extravagances
;
tearing
my
Clothes
,
filling
the
Air
with
loud
Curses
,
Lamentations
,
and
Repetitions
of
Lucinda's
Name
,
with
no
other
Design
then
to
expire
in
the
pronouncing
it
;
and
when
I
came
to
my self
,
I
found
my self
weary
and
tir'd
,
as
if
I
had
rid
a
hard-trotting
Horse
for
fifty
Miles
together
.
My
Mansion-house
is
generally
a
hollow
Cork-tree
,
where
the
Shepherds
and
Goat-herds
leave
me
their
Charity
for
the
Support
of
my
Life
;
for
Nature
is
still
in
her
Wits
,
tho
Cardenio
be
mad
.
Sometimes
these
honest
People
meet
me
in
my
lucid
Intervals
,
and
check
me
for
robbing
'em
of
their
Provision
,
and
abusing
their
Servants
,
especially
being
so
liberal
of
their
own
accords
:
Which
was
a
great
Affliction
to
me
,
and
then
I
promis'd
amendment
for
the
future
,
tho
my
wild
Humour
would
not
suffer
me
many
time
to
be
so
good
as
my
word
.
Thus
Gentlemen
,
do
I
lead
a
miserable
life
,
expecting
when
Heaven
will
either
put
a
Period
to
my
days
,
or
raze
out
of
my
Remembrance
the
Beauty
and
Ingratitude
of
Lucinda
,
and
Ferdinand's
Perfidiousness
.
In
the
mean
time
,
I
beg
of
Heav'n
to
look
upon
me
with
an
Eye
of
Compassion
,
since
I
cannot
believe
such
a
Course
of
life
as
this
,
can
be
any
way
pleasing
to
God
;
tho
I
am
not
able
to
resolve
any
thing
of
my self
,
under
the
Load
of
these
Misfortunes
that
overwhelm
me
,
and
surmount
the
Strength
of
my
Reason
.
Here
Cardenio
having
made
an
end
of
his
doleful
Story
,
and
such
a
frank
Confession
,
that
the
Curate
was
about
to
have
giv'n
him
Absolution
;
when
of
a
sudden
they
heard
the
mournful
Accents
of
another
sad
Complaint
,
which
prickt
up
their
Ears
to
new
Attention
;
of
which
you
shall
have
a
true
account
in
the
Fourth
Book
.
For
Cid-Hamet-Benengeli
will
not
admit
the
Third
Part
to
reach
any
farther

THE
FOURTH
BOOK
Of
the
most
Ingenious
KNIGHT
,
Don
Quixote
DE
LA
MANCHA
.
PART
I.
BOOK
IV
.
CHAP.
I.
Of
the
new
and
pleasant
Adventure
which
befell
the
Curate
and
the
Barber
in
the
Black
Mountain
.
MOst
fortunate
were
those
Times
,
and
happy
was
the
Womb
that
brought
into
the
World
the
bold
and
valiant
Don
Quixote
de
la
Mancha
,
whose
steady
Resolution
to
restore
to
the
World
the
almost
lost
,
and
,
as
it
were
,
deceased
Order
of
Knight-Errantry
,
gives
us
a
blessed
Opportunity
in
this
our
Age
,
quite
bankrupt
of
Pastime
for
the
mind
,
to
enjoy
not
only
the
Pleasure
of
his
delightful
Story
,
but
also
other
Comical
Novels
and
Tales
.
We
told
ye
,
that
the
Curate
intending
a
Chapter
of
Consolation
to
Cardenio
,
was
prevented
by
a
Voice
that
loudly
breath'd
forth
the
doleful
Moans
of
a
troubl'd
Mind
,
in
these
Words
.
Heav'ns
!
is
it
possible
,
that
I
have
at
length
found
out
a
lurking
Hole
,
wherein
to
conceal
my self
from
the
Eyes
of
all
Mankind
,
and
where
to
bury
this
ponderous
Load
of
Flesh
and
Garbage
;
a
Burthen
too
heavy
for
my
oppressed
Soul
?
How
happy
am
I
to
find
in
these
mountainous
Solitudes
that
Repose
and
Tranquility
,
which
is
not
to
be
found
among
Men
;
and
where
I
may
have
Liberty
to
tell
Heav'n
a
piece
o'
my
mind
,
and
condole
the
Misfortunes
with
which
I
am
unjustly
over-whelm'd
.
Compassionate
Heav'n
,
hear
my
Complaints
!
't
is
to
you
that
I
address
my self
;
for
Men
are
Fools
and
Knaves
,
and
you
alone
can
give
me
Consolation
,
and
tell
me
in
plain
English
what
I
have
to
do
.
Thereupon
the
Curate
and
his
Company
,
curious
to
know
what
Son
of
Tribulation
it
was
that
utter'd
these
doleful
Lamentations
,
follow'd
their
Noses
,
where
their
Ears
directed
'
em
.
Nor
had
they
gon
above
twenty
Paces
,
before
they
spy'd
a
young
Lad
to
all
outward
Appearance
,
sitting
at
the
foot
of
a
Rock
,
under
an
Ash-tree
.
He
was
clad
in
a
Countrey-habit
,
but
his
Face
they
could
not
see
,
being
bow'd
almost
upon
his
Knees
,
as
he
sate
washing
his
Feet
in
a
clear
and
purling
Stream
that
glided
gently
by
.
They
approach'd
him
so
softly
,
that
he
never
perceiv'd
'em
;
so
that
they
had
the
leisure
to
survey
a
pair
of
Thighs
so
plump
,
so
white
,
so
well-shap'd
,
that
nothing
could
appear
more
beautiful
.
A
Spectacle
that
strangely
surpriz'd
'em
in
a
person
,
whose
Clothes
discover'd
him
to
be
no
other
then
some
Gardiner
,
or
Farmer's
Son
.
Bless
us
,
quo
they
!
such
Thighs
,
such
Legs
,
and
Alablaster-Feet
as
those
,
were
never
made
to
follow
Plough-tails
,
or
tread
Gard'n-plats
.
Thereupon
the
Curate
,
who
began
to
smell
a
Rat
,
beckon'd
to
the
rest
of
the
Company
to
go
and
hide
themselves
behind
the
Rock
:
Which
they
did
,
and
from
thence
making
a
stricter
Observation
,
they
found
the
young
Stripling
had
on
a
Russet
Goat
of
coarse
Kentish
Cloth
,
ty'd
about
his
Waste
with
a
kind
of
a
long
Linen
Neckcloth
,
instead
of
a
Scarf
,
and
a
pair
of
Breeches
of
the
same
,
together
with
a
Sailor's
Thrum-Cap
button'd
up
o'
one
side
,
and
lin'd
underneath
with
green
Taffaty
;
all
Sunday's
Apparrel
,
before
George
.
After
he
had
wash'd
his
Lilly-white
Toes
,
he
wip'd
'em
with
a
Napkin
which
he
pull'd
out
of
his
Codpiece
.
But
then
looking
up
,
What
d'
ye
think
they
discover'd
?
No
parts
of
Distinction
,
I
beg
your
Favour
for
that
,
but
such
a
matchless
Face
,
that
Cardenio
cry'd
out
,
This
is
either
Lucinda
,
or
an
Angel
from
Heaven
.
By
and
by
the
young
Lad
taking
off
his
Cap
,
and
shaking
his
Head
,
such
a
lovely
Quantity
of
dishevel'd
Venus
hair
cover'd
all
his
Shoulders
,
and
thence
fell
down
to
his
Feet
,
so
thick
and
Sunbeam
like
,
that
it
was
apparent
they
had
mistak'n
a
Corydon
for
an
Amarrillis
,
a
young
Lad
for
a
young
Damsel
,
and
one
of
the
fair'st
that
ever
Eyes
beheld
,
except
it
were
Lucinda
,
for
that
Cardenio
would
by
no
means
allow
.
Instead
of
a
Comb
to
disintangle
her
Hair
,
she
made
use
of
her
Fingers
,
which
by
consequence
were
very
small
.
That
Accident
made
another
Discovery
of
her
Arms
and
Hands
,
surpassing
in
whiteness
all
the
Ermins
,
or
Snow
that
ever
fell
from
the
Sky
.
Which
astonishing
Beauties
so
ravish'd
their
Admiration
,
and
encreas'd
their
Curiosity
,
that
they
resolv'd
to
accost
her
,
and
see
who
she
was
.
The
young
Lady
hearing
a
Noise
,
peep'd
through
her
Hair
,
as
through
a
Window
,
and
seeing
three
Men
coming
toward
her
,
only
stay'd
to
take
up
a
little
Bundle
which
she
had
,
and
betook
her self
to
her
Heels
with
all
the
speed
she
could
.
But
her
bare
tender
Feet
not
being
able
to
endure
the
rudeness
of
the
Stones
,
down
she
fell
,
poor
Soul
—
so
that
the
Curate
easily
over-taking
her
—
Lady
,
said
he
,
whoever
you
are
,
fear
nothing
;
here
are
none
but
such
as
would
be
glad
to
serve
you
to
the
utmost
of
their
Power
.
But
then
perceiving
her
still
to
stand
as
if
she
had
met
her
Grandfather's
Ghost
;
Your
dishevell'd
Hair
,
Madam
,
quo
the
Curate
,
has
discover'd
what
your
Disguise
conceal'd
from
us
:
Which
,
however
,
did
but
render
us
the
more
compassionate
of
your
Misfortunes
,
or
make
us
the
more
ready
to
assist
ye
;
therefore
Madam
dispel
your
needless
Fears
,
and
tell
us
how
our
Service
may
be
most
to
your
Advantage
.
I
know
better
then
to
think
it
was
a
slight
Occasion
that
made
you
put
on
this
Disguise
and
venture
,
so
sweet
a
Lady
as
you
are
,
into
this
same
solitary
Desart
,
where
it
was
the
greatest
Miracle
in
the
World
that
e're
you
met
with
us
.
However
,
we
hope
it
is
not
impossible
to
find
a
Remedy
for
your
Misfortunes
,
since
there
is
none
so
violent
,
which
Reason
and
Time
will
not
at
length
surmount
.
And
therefore
,
Madam
,
if
you
have
not
absolutely
renounc'd
all
Consolation
and
Advice
of
Mankind
,
I
beseech
ye
tell
us
the
Cause
of
your
Sorrows
,
which
't
is
not
Curiosity
,
but
a
real
Intention
to
serve
her
,
that
makes
us
thus
importunate
to
know
.
All
the
while
the
Curate
was
making
his
Complements
,
the
Lady
stood
like
one
in
a
Trance
,
staring
upon
the
three
Strangers
,
as
if
they
had
been
so
many
Apparitions
with
white
Sheets
and
Torches
i'
their
Hands
.
But
at
length
the
civil
Curate
having
given
her
time
to
recollect
her self
,
and
still
plying
her
with
new
Crumbs
of
Comfort
,
and
warm
Offers
of
Hand
and
Tongue
to
serve
her
,
she
fetch'd
a
deep
Sigh
,
and
then
opening
the
Coral-Gates
of
her
Lips
,
brake
Silence
in
this
manner
.
Since
these
solitary
Mountains
,
said
she
,
have
not
been
able
to
conceal
me
,
but
that
my
Hair
has
betray'd
me
,
it
will
be
in
vain
for
me
to
play
the
Counterfeit
any
longer
with
you
that
can
tell
,
I
see
,
an
Apple
from
an
Oyster
.
And
since
you
desire
to
hear
the
Rehearsal
of
my
Misfortunes
,
it
would
be
an
Ingratitude
to
to
repay
your
civil
Offers
with
the
Refusal
of
a
lamentable
Story
;
the
Rehearsal
of
which
will
be
so
far
a
Kindness
to
me
,
that
thereby
I
shall
make
ye
the
equal
Judges
of
my
Condition
;
and
whether
it
be
possible
for
a
Mind
so
distracted
as
mine
,
ever
to
admit
of
Consolation
in
this
World
.
There
is
one
thing
that
troubles
me
more
,
that
I
must
reveal
to
ye
certain
Secrets
which
I
had
thought
to
have
bury'd
with
me
in
the
Grave
:
But
I
am
forc'd
to
do
it
,
that
you
may
not
think
I
parted
with
my
Honour
for
the
sight
of
half
a
score
Plays
,
or
as
many
Spring-Garden
Treatments
,
but
at
the
Price
of
more
Vows
and
Protestations
then
would
fill
a
Church
;
and
which
,
I
make
no
Question
,
but
that
they
will
one
day
turn
to
the
Ruine
of
that
treacherous
Soul
that
made
and
broke
'
em
.
When
the
Damsel
had
thus
said
.
The
Curate
and
his
Company
modestly
left
the
young
Madam
Epicene
to
put
on
her
Hose
and
Shoes
,
and
tie
up
her
Locks
;
and
having
found
out
a
convenient
Shade
,
sate
down
full
of
Expectation
.
Nor
did
the
Lady
make
'em
stay
a
jot
,
but
being
as
willing
to
be
rid
of
her
Story
,
which
most
distressed
Ladies
are
,
as
they
were
to
hear
it
,
she
made
all
imaginable
Expedition
;
only
for
fear
she
should
be
long
in
her
Repetition
,
first
made
water
,
and
then
taking
her
place
,
thus
began
:
I
was
born
in
a
certain
City
of
Andaluzia
,
from
which
a
certain
Duke
derives
his
Title
,
that
entitles
him
to
be
a
Grandee
of
Spain
.
My
Father
,
who
is
one
of
his
Tenants
,
is
none
of
the
most
wealthy
Men
in
the
Country
;
and
yet
not
so
poor
neither
but
that
if
Fortune
had
equall'd
his
Birth
to
his
Estate
,
he
could
have
wanted
nothing
more
,
and
I
perhaps
had
never
been
so
miserable
:
For
most
assuredly
't
was
my
Ruine
that
my
Parents
were
not
sufficiently
illustrious
.
For
Lords
will
marry
Farmers
Daughters
for
Money
;
but
when
they
have
got
their
Dust
,
then
they
kick
'em
out
o'
their
Beds
,
because
they
can't
behave
themselves
,
and
complement
like
your
Ladies
born
,
forsooth
.
And
yet
my
Parents
were
not
so
meanly
born
neither
,
that
they
should
be
asham'd
of
their
Gentility
.
't
is
true
,
they
have
been
Farmers
from
Father
to
Son
,
yet
without
any
mixture
of
Ale-draper
or
Tripe-woman
:
They
are
good
old
Christians
,
and
their
Antiquity
in
the
Parish-book
,
together
with
their
large
Possessions
,
and
the
Port
they
live
in
,
as
having
been
Fore-men
of
the
Grand-Jury
for
several
Ages
,
exalts
'em
above
their
Profession
,
and
sets
'em
above
many
Knights
and
Squires
i'
the
World
.
Now
I
being
their
only
Heiress
,
they
lov'd
me
entirely
,
and
loving
me
entirely
,
they
left
the
whole
house
to
my
Disposal
.
The
Dairy-maids
,
Cook-maids
,
Chamber-maids
,
were
all
at
my
Command
:
I
kept
the
Key
of
the
Spice
and
Sugar
,
lock'd
up
the
cold
Venison-Pasties
,
and
Florentines
:
and
in
a
word
,
I
had
my
full
Swinge
of
Liberty
and
Dominion
.
The
time
which
I
had
to
spare
from
over-looking
the
making
of
the
Butter
and
Cheese
,
raising
of
Paste
,
feeding
the
Poultry
,
and
such
other
Family-duties
;
I
employ'd
in
mending
my
Father's
Linen
,
and
working
new
Points
for
my
Pinners
,
and
Gorget
to
wear
o'
Holy-days
;
nor
did
I
ever
leave
my
Work
,
unless
it
were
sometimes
to
read
alittle
in
Aristotle's
Problems
,
or
the
Lady's
Calling
,
or
some
other
profitable
Book
;
and
now
and
then
to
play
a
Lesson
upon
the
Virginals
,
understanding
that
Musick
was
very
proper
to
recreate
the
weary'd
Spirits
of
either
Sex
.
And
this
was
then
the
innocent
Life
I
led
.
While
I
thus
liv'd
the
life
of
a
Nun
,
employ'd
in
my
Huswifery
,
not
seeing
any
body
all
the
Week-long
,
but
our
own
Family
,
and
only
to
Church
and
home
again
a
Sundays
,
close
at
my
Mother's
Heels
,
and
that
so
muffl'd
and
hooded
,
that
I
could
scarce
find
my
way
;
the
Report
went
abroad
that
I
was
very
handsom
,
which
was
the
Reason
that
Courtship
troubl'd
the
Tranquility
of
my
Life
.
For
it
seems
that
the
Dukes
second
Son
,
whose
Name
was
Don
Ferdinand
,
had
a
sight
of
me
,
by
what
Accident
I
know
not
,
when
I
least
dreamt
of
any
such
thing
.
Scarce
had
Cardenio
heard
the
Name
of
Don
Ferdinand
repeated
,
when
he
chang'd
Colour
,
and
discover'd
such
a
Commotion
of
Body
and
Mind
,
that
the
Curate
and
the
Barber
were
afraid
he
would
have
fall'n
into
one
of
his
mad
Fits
.
But
it
did
not
come
to
that
,
he
only
set
himself
to
consider
the
fair
Country-Lass
,
fixing
his
Eyes
wistfully
upon
her
,
and
viewing
her
earnestly
to
see
whether
he
knew
her
again
;
while
she
,
without
taking
any
farther
Notice
of
Cardenio's
Disturbance
,
continu'd
her
Story
.
He
had
no
sooner
seen
me
,
said
she
,
but
as
I
was
afterwards
told
,
he
felt
in
his
Breast
that
violent
Passion
,
of
which
he
made
me
afterwards
so
many
Vows
and
Protestations
.
In
a
word
,
not
to
tell
ye
a
tedious
Story
of
all
his
Complements
,
his
Crown-pieces
flew
about
the
House
like
Birds
in
an
Aviary
.
He
won
all
the
Servants
with
his
Money
;
he
made
my
Father
a
thousand
Offers
of
Court-preferment
,
and
promis'd
him
the
Priviledge
to
whisper
i'
the
King's
Ear
,
like
Mahomet's
Pigeon
;
my
Mother
too
,
was
to
be
Mother
o'
the
Maids
:
I
could
not
sleep
all
Night
for
the
Noise
of
Fiddles
at
my
Window
,
and
every
Day
Feasting
,
and
Fish-Dinners
at
the
Tavern
.
And
then
for
your
Billet-doux's
,
as
ye
call
'em
,
or
little
Love-notes
,
full
of
Honey
and
Tenderness
,
passionate
Oaths
,
Vows
,
Protestations
,
Submissions
,
and
Imprecations
;
I
could
have
spar'd
a
Bushel
to
an
Apothecary
to
make
up
his
Pennyworths
of
Dioscordium
;
but
alas
,
I
was
not
then
to
be
tickl'd
,
like
a
Trout
under
the
Belly
;
all
his
Sedulities
and
Flatteries
were
so
far
from
winning
my
Affection
,
that
I
hated
Don
Ferdinand
like
a
Viper
,
and
could
have
eat'n
him
with
Salt
.
Not
but
that
I
was
pleas'd
well
enough
,
I
must
tell
ye
,
with
his
Presents
of
Jessomin
Gloves
,
and
Ribbands
,
the
Neck-lace
,
and
Gold
Watch
that
he
gave
me
,
and
was
not
alittle
proud
to
find
my self
belov'd
by
a
Person
of
his
Quality
.
For
Maidens
are
pleas'd
with
Court-ship
,
and
the
most
disdainful
cannot
but
be
a
little
Complaisant
to
those
that
tell
'em
they
are
handsom
.
But
the
Disproportion
between
our
Qualities
was
such
,
that
I
could
never
believe
he
courted
me
for
a
Wife
,
but
rather
for
a
Miss
;
and
truly
I
was
brought
up
too
piously
to
be
any
man's
Pleasure-boat
,
how
great
soever
.
Nay
,
the
very
Admonitions
of
my
Father
quite
turn'd
my
Stomach
against
my
Lover
,
for
he
made
a
right
Construction
of
Don
Ferdinand's
Intentions
,
and
bid
me
have
a
care
of
him
,
as
one
that
sought
his
own
Satisfaction
,
rather
then
my
Advantage
;
and
tho
I
say
it
,
that
should
not
say
it
,
I
was
as
ca
eful
of
my
Reputation
as
my
Father
could
be
for
his
life
.
However
,
my
Father
perceiving
that
I
was
still
disturb'd
,
and
troubl'd
,
and
uneasie
;
and
believing
that
the
itching
Desire
of
being
a
Lady
,
might
at
length
trip
up
my
Heels
before
I
was
aware
,
told
me
one
day
,
That
he
had
a
great
Confidence
in
my
Vertue
,
and
that
I
needed
no
other
Amunition
then
that
to
defend
my
Fort
against
Don
Ferdinand's
Assaults
;
yet
if
I
thought
there
were
no
other
way
to
make
him
raise
his
Siege
then
by
Marriage
,
I
should
have
Liberty
to
make
my
own
Choice
among
my
Neighbours
;
and
that
he
would
promote
my
good
Intentions
,
with
all
the
Affection
that
could
be
expected
from
a
loving
Father
.
I
thank'd
him
for
his
Kindness
,
and
made
him
answer
,
That
having
no
Inclination
to
marry
,
I
would
think
of
some
other
way
to
rid
my self
of
Don
Ferdinand
,
without
running
out
of
the
Frying-pan
into
the
Fire
.
Thereupon
I
resolv'd
to
keep
my self
so
close
and
retir'd
,
that
he
should
never
have
the
Opportunity
to
come
into
my
Company
;
or
if
he
did
speak
to
me
,
never
to
answer
him
a
word
.
But
the
more
cautious
I
was
,
the
more
my
Reserv'dness
inflam'd
his
impetuous
Lust
;
for
I
can
call
it
no
other
,
since
if
it
had
been
true
Love
,
I
had
never
come
hither
to
tell
you
my
Tale
.
Well
—
let
that
pass
—
the
Sequel
was
this
;
That
D.
Ferdinand
either
hearing
or
suspecting
I
was
to
be
marry'd
,
to
the
Ruine
of
all
his
Hopes
,
he
thought
upon
a
Contrivance
to
cross
a
Design
so
destructive
to
his
wicked
Purposes
.
One
night
therefore
,
when
I
was
in
my
Chamber
with
none
but
a
Maid
that
serv'd
me
,
and
the
Door
lock'd
and
bolted
so
fast
,
that
I
would
ha'
sworn
all
the
Betties
in
Town
could
not
have
unhing'd
it
,
who
should
stand
just
before
me
but
D.
Ferdinand
.
Which
sudden
and
unexpected
Apparition
put
me
into
such
a
dreadful
Amaze
,
that
my
Joints
were
numm'd
,
my
Senses
forsook
their
Habitations
,
and
my
very
Speech
was
frighted
out
of
my
Mouth
.
Thereupon
D.
Ferdinand
taking
the
Advantage
of
my
Weakness
and
my
Astonishment
,
did
not
,
I
'le
say
that
for
him
,
offer
me
any
Rudeness
at
that
time
,
but
clasping
me
in
his
Arms
,
so
be-moan'd
me
,
so
condol'd
me
,
so
my
Poor-rogu'd
me
,
so
my
Be-dear'd
me
,
so
repented
his
Folly
,
so
begg'd
my
Pardon
,
then
blubber'd
,
then
cry'd
,
then
sigh'd
,
and
so
dextrously
manag'd
his
Passions
,
his
Tears
,
and
his
dissembl'd
Kindnesses
,
that
I
being
but
young
,
and
at
that
very
Age
,
God
is
my
Witness
,
when
Maidens
are
most
subject
to
be
deceiv'd
,
gave
Credit
to
his
Sobs
and
Sighs
,
that
vouch'd
for
his
Integrity
;
so
that
his
Sighs
and
Tears
,
and
Tears
and
Sighs
,
I
say
his
bitter
Moans
and
Lamentations
at
length
,
Gentlemen
,
vanquish'd
a
little
my
Reluctancy
,
and
I
began
in
some
measure
to
compassionate
his
Sufferings
.
And
yet
for
all
that
,
when
I
began
to
come
to
my self
,
my
former
Resolutions
return'd
;
and
then
frowning
,
and
louring
,
and
pouting
,
and
angry
,
as
it
became
me
;
Sir
,
said
I
,
if
at
the
same
time
that
you
give
me
all
these
Testimonies
of
your
Affection
,
you
will
allow
me
the
Choice
either
to
love
you
,
or
poison
my self
;
I
declare
it
,
I
would
rather
chuse
Rats-bane
,
then
be
your
Landabrides
;
for
I
would
have
ye
to
know
,
I
prefer
my
Honour
before
my
Life
.
I
know
not
what
ye
mean
,
Sir
,
by
thus
rudely
breaking
into
my
Privacies
,
so
prejudicial
to
my
Vertue
.
And
therefore
unhand
me
quickly
,
and
be
gone
,
or
else
as
,
I
live
,
I
'le
cry
out
Murder
—
and
then
I
make
no
question
,
but
all
the
Pitch-forks
i'
the
Village
will
come
to
my
Rescue
.
What!
because
my
Father
pays
your
Father
a
Quit-rent
;
I
am
no
Slave
to
you
,
nor
your
Father
neither
.
Don't
ye
think
to
dazle
me
with
your
fine
Clothes
,
nor
your
gaudy
Titles
.
For
I
le
not
be
a
Miss
to
e're
a
huffing
Lord
of
ye
all
.
I
am
not
to
be
caught
by
fine
words
,
nor
spring'd
with
high-flown
Complements
.
No
,
no
,
—
my
Lord
,
I
am
not
to
be
so
easily
coax'd
out
of
my
Maiden-head
.
In
short
,
my
Will
is
solely
at
my
Father's
Disposal
,
whoever
my
Father
makes
choice
of
,
he
's
the
Man
for
my
Money
.
Therefore
,
Sir
,
if
you
would
have
me
believe
ye
have
such
a
real
Affection
for
me
,
leave
haunting
and
teazing
me
thus
to
no
purpose
.
For
since
I
am
too
mean
to
be
your
Wife
,
and
you
too
great
to
be
my
Husband
,
ne're
pretend
a
Kindness
for
me
,
that
can
never
be
sound
at
the
Bottom
.
How
!
Mrs.
Dorothy
,
cry'd
the
perfidious
Ferdinand
,
cannot
I
be
your
Husband
—
?
Pray
,
where
's
the
Hind'rance
,
if
you
but
say
the
word
?
If
that
be
all
,
Mrs.
Dorothy
,
I
'le
marry
thee
presently
,
here
's
my
hand
upon
't
—
And
may
I
be
bury'd
without
a
clean
Shirt
,
if
I
don't
speak
Truth
.
Cardenio
was
no
less
surpriz'd
at
the
Name
of
Dorothy
,
then
he
was
at
the
Name
of
D.
Ferdinand
;
for
it
confirm'd
him
in
the
Suspicion
which
he
had
at
the
Beginning
of
the
Story
.
However
,
he
would
not
interrupt
her
,
because
he
was
willing
to
hear
the
end
of
it
.
Only
thus
much
,
said
he
,
is
your
Name
Mrs.
Dorothy
—
?
I
have
heard
of
a
young
Gentlewoman
,
whose
Misfortunes
have
a
great
Resemblance
with
yours
.
I
ha'
done
,
Madam
,
pray
proceed
—
for
I
believe
I
shall
quit
scores
wi'
ye
by
and
by
.
With
that
Mrs.
Dorothy
made
a
stop
to
study
Cardenio's
Face
;
and
observing
him
in
such
a
tatter'd
Condition
—
Pray
,
Sir
,
said
she
,
if
you
know
any
thing
that
concerns
me
,
let
me
know
it
presently
;
for
I
am
Proof
against
all
the
Flails
of
Misfortune
.
Nay
—
to
tell
ye
truth
,
my
Misforfortunes
have
been
such
as
have
render'd
me
insensible
of
all
manner
of
fear
.
My
Name
might
be
Grizle
for
my
Patience
.
Faith
,
Madam
,
reply'd
Cardenio
,
I
would
tell
ye
all
that
I
know
,
and
perhaps
more
then
I
know
,
were
I
sure
my
Conjectures
were
true
.
But
't
is
no
matter
,
Lady
,
't
will
be
time
enough
an
hour
hence
;
and
therefore
I
beseech
ye
proceed
.
Then
Mrs.
Dorothy
resuming
her
Discourse
:
After
a
thousand
amorous
Raptures
and
Resolutions
to
marry
me
,
quo
she
,
Don
Ferdinand
gave
me
his
Hand
,
and
having
plighted
his
Troth
to
me
,
he
took
a
little
Agnus
Dei
that
was
in
my
Chamber
,
to
be
Witness
of
the
Contract
;
and
confirm'd
it
with
more
Oaths
then
a
Boat-swain
swears
in
a
Storm
.
However
,
before
I
engag'd
my self
too
far
,
I
advis'd
him
to
have
a
care
how
he
suffer'd
an
unruly
Passion
,
and
a
little
Snout-fairness
to
hurry
him
to
his
Ruine
.
Be
not
such
an
ungracious
Rebel
either
to
disgrace
or
incense
your
Father
,
said
I
,
to
see
you
marry'd
to
a
Person
so
much
below
your
Descent
;
and
let
not
the
heat
of
your
Codpiece
transport
ye
to
an
Act
,
of
which
the
Repentance
will
at
length
render
me
miserable
.
And
to
these
I
added
several
other
Arguments
all
to
no
purpose
.
For
Don
Ferdinand
all
Fire
and
Tow
,
bann'd
Father
,
and
Mother
,
and
all
his
Generation
;
and
like
a
Renegado
that
never
minds
his
Word
,
swore
he
would
sacrifice
his
whole
Pedigree
to
his
Affections
for
me
.
When
I
saw
him
so
obstinate
in
his
Resolutions
,
I
began
to
consider
what
I
had
to
do
.
Thought
I
to
my self
,
I
am
not
the
first
Kitchen-wench
that
has
been
made
a
Lady
;
I
had
heard
of
an
Inn-keeper's
Daughter
that
became
a
Dutchess
,
and
of
Dukes
that
have
admitted
Cinder-women
to
their
Beds
.
Fortune
offers
me
her
forelock
,
't
is
not
so
nitty
,
thought
I
,
that
I
should
refuse
to
take
hold
of
it
.
Besides
,
I
am
sure
D.
Ferdinand
is
not
the
only
Person
i'
the
World
,
that
has
marry'd
more
for
Beauty
then
Quality
or
Merit
.
Here
's
a
Husband
offer'd
me
,
that
swears
,
protests
,
and
vows
the
unalterable
Burden
of
his
Love
shall
be
always
Thine
till
Death
,
D.
Ferdinand
;
why
then
should
I
refuse
such
a
Happiness
through
squeamish
Coyness
,
since
Women
were
not
born
altogether
into
this
World
for
Contemplation
?
And
then
,
by
my
Truly
,
there
was
one
thing
more
,
that
I
did
not
think
my self
safe
alone
in
D.
Ferdinand's
Clutches
;
for
,
thought
I
,
suppose
I
should
drive
him
to
despair
by
a
nice
Refusal
,
and
he
resolv'd
to
satisfie
his
Passion
,
should
ravish
me
,
in
what
a
fine
Pickle
should
I
be
then
?
Then
again
I
saw
him
to
be
young
,
noble
,
brisk
,
airy
,
proper
,
handsom
,
well
limb'd
,
no
Cully
,
nor
Town-Fop
,
but
rather
a
Sharper
,
witty
pleasant
,
merry
,
good
humour'd
:
Now
when
a
Maid
has
as
much
as
she
can
desire
,
what
would
she
ha'
more
?
here
were
Temptations
warm
enough
to
ha'
dissolv'd
the
Breast
of
Niobe
,
after
she
was
turn'd
into
Stone
.
And
I
would
fain
know
,
had
it
been
any
of
your
Cases
,
whether
you
would
not
have
done
,
as
I
did
?
Ask
my
Maid
,
whether
he
did
not
swear
by
Whole
sale
;
and
whether
,
if
it
were
possible
to
tell
all
the
People
that
ever
were
born
since
Noah's
Flood
,
he
did
not
out-vie
their
Number
in
Protestations
.
So
that
altho
I
were
ruin'd
,
't
is
true
,
yet
was
I
not
ruin'd
either
by
Folly
or
Precipitancy
.
For
in
this
swearing
,
protesting
,
vowing
,
sighing
,
sobbing
,
groaning
,
moaning
,
lamenting
,
despairing
,
imprecating
Condition
,
he
clasp'd
me
so
hard
in
his
Arms
,
and
put
me
into
such
an
Agony
,
that
my
Maid
did
but
go
down
for
a
Glass
of
small
Drink
,
but
there
was
farewel
Frost
i'
the
Case
,
my
Business
was
done
,
there
was
the
End
of
my
Virginity
,
and
the
Beginning
of
his
accursed
Treachery
.
I
wont
say
the
Maid
went
but
once
out
of
the
Room
—
No
—
ye
don't
hear
me
say
so
—
but
so
soon
as
it
began
to
grow
day
,
D.
Ferdinand
was
not
so
hasty
to
come
in
,
but
he
was
as
desirous
to
be
gone
.
For
besides
that
my
Maid
posted
him
away
with
all
her
Industry
(
for
this
I
'le
say
for
her
,
and
a
Fig
for
her
,
that
tho
she
had
been
the
cursed
Jade
that
had
betray'd
me
,
she
was
unwilling
my
Shame
should
be
discover'd
.
)
Men
have
that
Kindness
for
the
Place
where
they
accomplish
their
wicked
Designs
,
that
they
care
not
how
soon
they
leave
it
.
However
,
the
Pretence
of
his
haste
was
his
care
of
my
Reputation
,
forsooth
,
and
with
a
Coldness
that
I
could
easily
discern
from
his
former
heat
,
he
desir'd
me
not
to
mistrust
his
Fidelity
.
All
the
good
Nature
he
had
left
,
was
to
pull
off
a
Diamond
Ring
from
his
Finger
,
and
put
it
upon
mine
.
A
small
Recompence
of
a
Jewel
,
God
wot
,
for
the
Jewel
I
had
lost
.
In
short
,
away
he
went
,
and
the
Jilt
of
a
Carrion
,
my
Maid
,
let
him
out
into
the
Street
.
And
now
I
leave
you
to
conjecture
in
what
a
Condition
I
was
,
when
I
consider'd
what
had
befall'n
me
;
and
knew
not
well
what
Appellation
I
was
to
give
my self
,
whether
Maid
,
Wife
,
or
Widow
.
I
was
in
a
manner
quite
distracted
,
nor
could
I
tell
well
what
to
say
to
my
Maid
,
whether
I
should
call
her
young
mercenary
Bawd
,
or
kind
Assistant
;
not
knowing
whether
she
had
done
me
Good
or
Harm
.
I
had
told
D.
Ferdinand
before
he
went
,
't
was
now
Lammas
Ground
,
the
Fences
were
all
open
,
and
he
might
make
use
of
the
same
means
to
come
again
when
he
pleas'd
,
till
he
found
it
convenient
to
make
publick
the
Honour
which
he
had
done
me
;
but
he
did
not
come
till
the
Night
following
,
and
then
it
seems
,
so
surfeited
himself
,
that
I
never
saw
him
since
,
neither
in
the
Street
,
nor
at
Church
,
tho
I
ran
the
hazard
of
being
pick'd
up
in
both
places
,
to
seek
after
him
for
a
whole
Month
together
,
tho
I
knew
he
went
a
hunting
every
Day
,
and
had
started
new
Game
in
the
Neighbourhood
.
't
is
impossible
for
me
to
tell
ye
then
what
Temptations
I
had
to
Halters
,
Razors
,
Daggers
,
Ponds
and
Rivers
,
when
I
found
my self
thus
scorn'd
and
abandon'd
by
D.
Ferdinand
.
A
Slight
so
unexpected
,
and
which
I
look'd
upon
as
the
greatest
Misfortune
that
ever
could
be-fall
me
,
had
like
to
a'
quite
overwhelm'd
me
.
Then
it
was
,
that
I
found
my
Maid
had
been
a
treacherous
,
brib'd
,
unfaithful
Pandress
to
me
,
that
had
sold
my
Honour
for
a
pair
of
new
Shoes
and
Stockins
,
and
how
dangerous
a
thing
it
is
to
confide
either
in
Men
or
Maids
.
I
exclaim'd
against
D.
Ferdinand
;
I
left
not
a
Sigh
i'
my
Lungs
,
nor
a
Tear
i'
my
Eyes
,
and
yet
could
receive
no
Consolation
.
And
yet
I
found
there
was
a
Necessity
for
me
to
conceal
my
Resentment
,
for
fear
my
Father
and
Mother
should
take
me
into
Examination
.
But
at
length
I
perceiv'd
't
was
in
vain
to
counterfeit
,
for
I
could
no
longer
hold
,
when
I
heard
that
D.
Ferdinand
was
marry'd
i'
the
next
Village
,
to
a
handsom
,
compleat
,
young
Damsel
,
whose
Name
was
Lucinda
.
The
Name
of
Lucinda
had
like
to
have
put
Cardenio
into
his
frantick
Fits
,
but
as
good
luck
would
have
it
,
he
had
such
a
Command
of
himself
at
that
time
,
that
he
only
shrugg'd
up
his
Shoulders
,
bit
his
Lips
,
and
knit
his
Brows
,
and
then
fell
a'
weeping
,
as
if
his
Father's
Mannor
had
wanted
Rain
:
Which
Mrs.
Dorothy
not
minding
,
as
believing
his
Tears
were
not
shed
for
her
sake
,
went
on
with
that
which
more
concern'd
her
.
This
News
stripp'd
me
stark
naked
of
my
Patience
;
Rage
and
Despair
took
Livery
and
Seisin
o'
my
Soul
,
and
in
the
Transports
of
my
Fury
I
was
about
to
have
publish'd
D.
Ferdinands
Disloyalty
,
tho
to
the
Discovery
of
my
own
Shame
.
I
know
not
whether
any
Remainder
of
Reason
stopp'd
these
violent
Motions
,
but
if
it
did
I
was
so
drunk
with
Passion
,
that
I
did
not
perceive
it
.
Well
—
at
length
I
discover'd
the
Cause
of
my
Grief
to
a
young
Shepherd
that
serv'd
my
Father
:
I
desir'd
him
to
lend
me
his
Sunday's
Clothes
,
and
to
go
along
with
me
to
the
Village
where
I
knew
D.
Ferdinand
was
.
The
Shepherd
,
poor
fellow
,
told
me
,
there
were
more
Maids
then
Maukin
,
and
us'd
the
best
Arguments
he
had
,
to
hinder
me
from
what
I
was
going
about
,
but
finding
I
was
resolv'd
upon
the
Point
,
he
assur'd
me
he
was
ready
to
serve
me
.
Thereupon
I
put
on
this
Habit
which
you
see
,
made
up
my
Pack
,
which
consisted
of
some
old
Gold
and
Plate
,
which
my
God-mothers
had
left
me
,
several
Fairings
in
Thimbles
,
Bodkins
,
and
Gold
Rings
;
a
a
round
Bag
of
Thirteen-pence-ha'-penys
,
Nine-pences
,
Groats
,
and
Four-pence-ha'-penys
(
for
I
kept
all
my
Father's
Butter-Money
)
some
few
Sutes
of
Night
clothes
;
and
so
about
Midnight
away
the
Shepherd
and
I
trudg'd
.
In
two
Days
and
a
half
we
got
to
the
Village
,
where
the
first
thing
I
did
,
I
enquir'd
at
the
Sign
of
the
Cock
,
a
sorry
Ale-house
,
where
one
Mrs.
Lucinda's
Father
liv'd
?
't
was
an
ordinary
Question
,
but
it
produc'd
a
great
deal
more
then
I
had
a
desire
to
know
.
For
presently
the
Man
o'
the
House
told
me
there
had
been
a
great
Wedding
at
Mrs.
Lucinda's
House
,
and
that
so
publick
,
that
't
was
the
whole
Discourse
of
the
Village
.
Withal
,
he
told
me
what
Favers
they
had
,
what
Money
Don
Ferdinand
gave
the
Ringers
to
drink
,
and
a
thousand
more
Circumstances
,
that
made
me
so
mad
,
I
could
have
tore
the
Hair
from
my
Head
.
He
told
me
farther
,
how
that
Mrs.
Lucinda
swoon'd
away
when
she
said
,
Yes
,
at
what
time
the
Priest
ask'd
her
,
Whether
she
would
have
D.
Ferdinand
to
her
wedded
Husband
?
And
how
that
he
,
after
he
had
cut
her
Lace
to
give
her
more
room
to
breathe
,
found
a
Letter
under
her
own
hand
,
wherein
she
declar'd
,
that
she
could
not
be
D.
Ferdinand's
Wife
,
because
she
was
already
contracted
to
one
Mr.
Cardenio
,
a
Gentleman
of
Quality
,
living
i'
the
same
Village
;
and
that
she
had
only
consented
to
that
Marriage
in
obedience
to
her
Father
.
Moreover
he
told
me
,
that
Mrs.
Lucinda
would
have
kill'd
her self
after
the
Ceremony
was
over
,
which
appear'd
to
be
true
by
a
Dagger
that
was
found
about
her
;
and
that
D.
Ferdinand
,
mad
to
see
himself
so
deluded
,
would
have
kill'd
her
himself
,
had
he
not
been
prevented
by
those
that
were
in
the
Room
.
He
told
me
moreover
,
that
D.
Ferdinand
upon
this
,
presently
left
the
Village
,
and
that
Mrs.
Lucinda
did
not
come
to
her self
till
the
next
day
,
at
what
time
she
declar'd
,
that
she
was
Cardenio's
Wife
,
and
that
he
and
she
were
contracted
before
she
had
ever
seen
D.
Ferdinand
.
I
understood
also
,
that
this
Cardenio
was
present
at
the
Wedding
,
and
that
thereupon
he
left
the
Village
in
Despair
,
only
leaving
a
Letter
behind
him
,
wherein
he
made
bitter
Complaints
of
Mrs.
Lucinda's
Infidelity
,
and
withal
,
giving
it
under
his
Hand
,
That
he
would
never
return
again
.
This
was
all
the
Discourse
of
the
Village
when
I
came
thither
;
and
by
and
by
we
heard
that
Mrs.
Lucinda
was
not
to
be
found
neither
,
and
how
her
Father
and
Mother
were
at
their
Wits
end
to
know
what
was
become
of
her
.
For
my
part
,
I
was
not
a
little
glad
when
I
heard
how
squares
went
,
for
presently
I
had
a
vain
Conceit
that
Heav'n
took
my
part
,
and
had
thwarted
D.
Ferdinand's
wicked
Designs
,
on
purpose
to
make
a
Christian
of
him
at
length
;
which
put
me
in
hopes
,
that
seeing
himself
disappointed
of
Mrs.
Lucinda
,
he
would
at
last
return
to
his
forsak'n
Mrs.
Dorothy
,
and
do
like
a
Man
of
Quality
and
Honour
.
Thus
I
flatter'd
my self
,
and
thus
I
was
willing
to
flatter
my self
,
out
of
a
Desire
to
prolong
a
miserable
life
;
miserable
indeed
,
in
being
disappointed
of
so
much
Honour
with
Pleasure
,
and
so
much
Pleasure
with
Honour
,
as
I
expected
to
have
enjoy'd
;
which
you
cannot
blame
me
,
if
I
spar'd
for
no
Pains
or
Labour
to
retrieve
.
But
while
I
was
ruminating
what
to
do
,
there
was
a
Hue
and
Cry
came
after
Mrs.
Dorothy
.
For
by
and
by
I
heard
Proclamation
made
i'
the
Street
,
and
great
Rewards
were
promis'd
to
any
that
could
bring
Tidings
of
Mrs.
Dorothy
.
There
I
heard
my
Person
,
my
Clothes
,
my
Age
describ'd
,
even
to
the
very
Mole
under
my
Ear
,
and
the
Dimple
i'
my
Chin
,
as
if
they
had
study'd
nothing
but
Advertisements
;
and
nothing
vex'd
me
,
that
the
Report
was
,
That
the
poor
Shepherd
that
went
along
with
me
to
carry
my
Bundle
,
had
carry'd
me
away
with
an
Intention
to
marry
me
at
Pancrass
or
Mary-bone
,
as
if
I
had
been
such
a
Fool
to
be
stole
by
my
Father's
Plough
boy
,
or
to
run
away
with
a
meer
Swain
,
like
a
young
Girl
enveigl'd
by
the
Dancing-Master
from
a
Boarding-School
;
which
troubl'd
me
extremely
,
that
my
Father
should
have
such
low
Thoughts
of
his
Daughter
that
was
hunting
after
another
sort
of
Game
.
Thereupon
,
seeing
it
was
in
vain
to
look
any
longer
for
D.
Ferdinand
,
I
made
all
the
haste
I
could
,
with
my
Shepherd
,
out
of
the
Village
,
fearing
least
the
Temptation
of
the
promis'd
Reward
might
allure
the
young
Lad
to
betray
me
.
Being
got
out
of
the
Village
,
we
never
look'd
behind
us
,
but
like
Apprentices
that
have
out-stay'd
their
time
of
a
Sunday's
Evening
,
we
straddl'd
along
so
fast
,
that
before
Night
we
were
got
into
the
most
desert
and
solitary
part
of
all
this
dreadful
Mountain
,
where
I
think
,
if
the
Devil
were
in
Search
of
us
,
he
could
never
find
us
.
And
thus
,
tho
D.
Ferdinand
has
not
done
the
Duty
of
a
Husband
,
I
ha'
done
the
Duty
of
a
Wife
,
in
forsaking
Father
and
Mother
to
follow
him
,
to
whom
I
thought
I
had
been
as
good
as
marry'd
.
However
,
I
cannot
say
,
but
that
in
the
midst
of
all
these
my
Misfortunes
,
I
had
a
little
good
luck
,
or
else
y'
faith
I
had
paid
dear
for
looking
after
D.
Ferdinand
.
For
that
same
young
Varlet
of
a
Shepherd
,
that
I
brought
along
with
me
,
whether
it
were
out
of
Kindness
,
because
he
found
me
in
such
a
taking
for
a
Husband
,
or
whether
it
were
through
an
ill
Custom
that
he
had
learnt
among
my
Mother's
Milk-maids
(
tho
one
would
have
thought
his
short
Commons
,
and
hard
Travel
,
all
the
while
he
was
with
me
,
should
have
brought
down
his
Courage
)
this
young
Princock
,
that
you
would
have
thought
couldnot
ha'
said
Bo
to
a
Goose
,
began
to
talk
to
me
of
Love
.
For
you
know
the
Proverb
,
Opportunity
makes
a
Thief
;
and
this
Opportunity
he
thought
he
had
then
in
his
Hands
,
while
I
was
all
alone
far
from
Help
;
and
he
as
Lusty
as
he
was
Rampant
,
and
as
Rampant
as
he
was
Lusty
.
Ye
sawcy
Rascal
,
quo
I
,
how
dare
you
talk
thus
impudently
to
your
Master's
Daughter
?
What
,
nothing
but
up
and
ride
?
Will
nothing
but
white
Bread
serve
your
turn
?
Tho
I
have
mist
God's
Blessing
,
don't
you
think
,
Sirrah
,
that
I
take
you
for
the
warm
Sun.
Upon
this
,
the
Ragamuffin
of
a
Shepherd
,
perceiving
there
was
no
good
to
be
done
by
fair
means
,
began
to
fumble
with
my
Codpiece
(
for
I
had
no
Coats
to
pull
up
)
and
swore
he
would
feel
in
his
own
Breeches
.
S'life
!
what
,
nothing
but
naked
Violence
,
ye
Dog
,
quo
I
!
and
with
that
,
re-doubling
my
Strength
,
I
push'd
him
down
a
Rock
as
high
from
the
Ground
,
I
believe
,
as
the
Dragon
upon
Bow-Church
;
and
I
make
no
Question
,
but
before
he
came
to
the
Ground
,
his
Domicils
of
Concupiscence
were
well
squash'd
.
For
my
part
,
I
never
look'd
to
see
what
was
become
of
him
,
but
retir'd
as
far
as
I
could
into
the
thickest
part
of
the
Wood
to
secure
my self
.
The
next
day
I
met
with
a
Countrey-man
,
who
took
me
to
his
House
in
a
Village
seated
at
the
foot
of
the
Mountain
,
and
employ'd
me
in
the
nature
of
his
Shepherd
,
with
whom
I
tarry'd
a
Month
,
till
he
with
his
Colt's
Tooth
in
his
Head
,
having
discover'd
me
to
be
of
the
Female
Sex
,
would
fain
ha'
been
at
the
same
Sport
as
my
Father's
Man
;
which
was
the
Reason
that
I
left
him
two
days
ago
,
and
rambl'd
hither
,
resolv'd
to
seek
out
some
place
where
I
might
have
the
Freedom
to
bewail
my
Misfortunes
,
till
better
luck
should
befall
me
,
or
compassionate
Heav'n
put
an
end
to
my
miserable
Life
.
CHAP.
II
.
Where
perhaps
you
may
meet
with
something
worth
your
Reading
.
THIS
,
Gentlemen
,
is
the
sad
and
lamentable
Story
of
a
Maiden
head
meerly
thrown
away
,
yet
lost
without
Redemption
.
And
now
be
you
Judges
,
whether
you
have
any
Comfits
of
Consolation
proper
to
sweeten
my
Mouth
,
having
swallow'd
such
bitter
Pills
of
unfortunate
,
tho
undeserved
Disappointment
.
All
that
I
desire
of
ye
,
is
only
this
;
to
tell
me
whether
ye
know
of
e're
a
Lady
that
wants
a
Waiting-Gentlewoman
,
or
e're
an
old
rich
Batchelour
that
lacks
a
House
keeper
,
where
I
may
spend
the
Remainder
of
my
days
,
secure
from
the
Search
and
Enquiry
of
my
Parents
.
Not
that
I
fear
but
that
my
Father
and
Mother
would
be
willing
to
take
me
again
,
with
all
my
Faults
;
only
I
am
asham'd
to
look
'em
i'
the
Face
,
after
such
a
Mistake
of
the
good
Opinion
they
had
of
me
.
Here
Mrs.
Dorothy
stopp'd
;
at
what
time
the
Blushes
that
over-spread
her
lovely
Cheeks
,
and
the
Posture
she
stood
in
,
with
her
Eyes
fix'd
upon
the
Ground
,
were
certain
Signs
of
the
Discomposure
of
her
Thoughts
.
And
as
for
the
Curate
and
the
Barber
,
after
they
had
heard
her
doleful
Story
,
they
were
strangely
concern'd
for
her
,
and
thought
it
a
very
hard
Case
,
that
a
poor
harmless
Virgin
should
be
so
basely
Be-Danger-fielded
,
and
deluded
out
of
the
most
precious
.
Jewel
which
she
had
in
the
World
,
and
then
be
so
unjustly
and
treacherously
abandon'd
by
the
Person
that
had
robb'd
her
of
all
her
Wealth
.
However
,
they
found
that
the
Lord
had
been
so
kind
as
to
leave
her
all
the
Charms
of
her
Wit
and
Beauty
:
Which
wrought
so
effectually
upon
the
Curate
,
that
he
was
ready
to
have
giv'n
her
a
Homily
of
Consolation
,
when
Cardenio
more
full
of
History
then
Ale
,
made
bold
to
interrupt
him
.
How
,
said
he
!
Are
you
that
pretty
Mrs.
Dorothy
,
the
only
Daughter
of
the
wealthy
Clenard
?
Mrs.
Dorothy
strangely
surpriz'd
to
hear
her
Father's
Name
in
the
Mouth
of
such
a
Tatterdemallion
,
as
if
he
had
been
his
Pot-Companion
—
Well
,
what
then
,
quo
she
?
Pray
,
who
are
you
that
know
my
Father
so
well
?
't
is
well
known
my
Father
has
born
all
Offices
i'
the
Parish
,
from
the
Scavenger
to
the
Church-warden
,
and
is
now
i'
the
Commission
o'
Sewers
.
Alas
,
Madam
,
quo
Cardenio
!
I
ask
for
no
harm
—
my
Name
is
Cardenio
,
at
your
Service
,
that
unfortunate
Cardenio
,
that
had
Lucinda's
Faith
in
keeping
;
the
very
He
that
she
said
was
her
Husband
:
That
miserable
Cardenio
!
(
and
then
he
fetch'd
a
Sigh
enough
to
have
turn'd
a
Wind-mill
for
four
Hours
together
)
that
miserable
Cardenio
!
whom
D.
Ferdinand's
Treachery
has
despoil'd
of
all
his
Wits
,
and
all
his
Wardrobe
together
.
I
am
the
Man
,
sweet
Mrs.
Dorothy
,
that
was
the
unhappy
Eye-witness
(
your
Information
was
right
,
I
assure
ye
)
of
the
fatal
Nuptials
of
D.
Ferdinand
;
and
who
from
that
time
,
full
of
Trouble
and
Terror
,
abandon'd
my self
to
despair
,
believing
I
had
for
ever
lost
my
dear
Lucinda
.
I
saw
D.
Ferdinand
take
a
Letter
out
of
her
Bosom
,
but
not
dreaming
it
would
do
me
a
hap'orth
a'
good
,
nor
being
able
to
brook
my
Misfortunes
,
I
flung
out
o'
the
House
,
with
a
Resolution
to
go
and
hang
my self
.
But
Heaven
has
preserv'd
me
,
I
see
,
to
venture
my
Neck
upon
a
better
score
.
For
having
thus
made
known
to
me
the
Justice
of
your
Cause
,
and
Lucinda's
Loyalty
,
I
'le
pick
up
my
scatter'd
Wits
again
,
quo
he
,
and
find
out
that
Traitor
of
a
Lord
;
and
tho
I
hang
for
't
,
either
I
'le
kill
him
,
or
he
shall
kill
me
,
but
I
'le
force
him
to
do
the
fair
Mrs.
Dorothy
Justice
,
if
Reason
and
Generosity
will
not
oblige
him
to
it
.
And
this
,
added
he
,
I
swear
to
do
by
the
faith
of
a
Gentleman
and
a
Christian
.
Lord
!
Mrs.
Dorothy
was
so
ravish'd
with
Joy
to
hear
she
should
be
a
Lady
again
,
for
all
her
Misfortunes
,
that
she
fell
down
at
Cardenio's
feet
,
and
would
have
kiss'd
his
Worship's
Toe
,
but
that
Cardenio
was
more
a
Courtier
then
to
let
her
.
On
the
other
side
,
the
Curate
finding
he
had
now
two
Texts
to
preach
upon
,
highly
applauded
Cardenio
for
his
Generosity
,
and
extoll'd
Mrs.
Dorothy
to
the
Skies
for
her
Gratitude
.
He
also
very
handsomly
invited
Mrs.
Dorothy
to
go
along
with
him
home
to
his
House
and
rest
her self
there
for
some
time
;
and
that
in
the
mean
while
they
would
there
consult
together
which
was
the
cleverest
way
to
find
out
D.
Ferdinand
;
and
how
to
lay
their
Designs
for
the
best
;
nay
,
the
very
Barber
too
put
in
for
a
share
,
offering
Mrs.
Dorothy
to
be
her
humble
Spaniel
to
fetch
and
carry
for
her
at
any
time
of
the
Night
or
Day
,
whatever
she
desir'd
.
He
farther
added
,
That
if
she
were
afraid
of
the
Small-Pox
,
as
having
put
her
Body
out
of
order
with
hard
Labour
and
Course
Diet
,
he
would
let
her
Blood
by
way
of
Prevention
,
and
it
should
not
cost
her
a
Farthing
.
After
these
more
then
ordinary
Civilities
paid
to
fair
Mrs.
Dorothy
,
the
Barber
acquainted
Cardenio
and
Mrs.
Dorothy
with
the
Design
which
had
brought
the
Curate
and
him
to
that
Place
,
and
gave
'em
an
Account
of
Don
Quixote's
Extravagancies
,
whose
Squire
they
staid
for
,
a
Shatterbrains
,
altogether
as
fit
for
Bedlam
as
his
Master
.
Presently
they
heard
a
fellow
whistle
through
his
fingers
,
as
if
he
had
been
jugging
a
Company
of
Foot-padds
together
.
By
and
by
he
fell
a
Yauling
and
Holloing
,
as
if
he
had
born
Malice
to
his
own
Lungs
.
Oh
—
yonder
he
is
,
I
hear
him
,
quo
the
Curate
;
and
with
that
,
he
desir'd
the
Company
that
they
might
go
and
meet
him
.
For
truth
to
tell
ye
,
said
he
,
the
Bandyleg'd
Rogue
knows
not
where
to
find
us
,
having
miss'd
us
at
the
place
appointed
.
When
they
were
all
together
the
Curate
ask'd
him
what
was
become
of
Don
Quixote
?
Wherever
he
is
,
quo
Sancho
,
I
found
him
in
his
Shirt
,
as
pale
as
a
stale
Flounder's
Belly
,
as
lean
as
th'
Anatomy
in
St.
John's
Colledge-Library
,
ready
to
expire
for
Hunger
,
yet
sighing
like
an
old
Woman
at
a
Meeting-house
for
his
dear
Lady
Dulcinea
.
He
repeated
her
Commands
to
return
and
have
one
tumble
more
i'
the
Straw
in
Toboso
Barn
,
and
acknowledg'd
her
Commands
were
to
be
obey'd
more
exactly
then
those
of
the
Grand
Signior
or
Persian
Monarch
;
but
then
he
fell
a
stamping
,
and
staring
,
and
Swearing
,
and
damming
,
and
vowing
never
to
see
her
Beauty
more
,
till
he
had
perform'd
some
great
Atchievement
,
that
might
deserve
her
favour
.
So
that
if
my
Master
,
added
Sancho
,
lead
this
life
a
Fortnight
longer
,
the
poor
Squire
must
loose
all
his
Hopes
,
since
't
is
impossible
for
him
to
be
either
Emperor
,
or
King
,
or
so
much
as
an
Arch-bishop
,
which
was
the
least
he
could
pretend
to
,
if
Heaven
spar'd
him
his
Life
.
Ne're
trouble
thy self
,
Sancho
,
quo
the
Curate
,
we
'll
have
him
home
again
in
spite
of
his
Teeth
;
and
then
turning
to
Cardenio
and
Mrs.
Dorothy
,
he
inform'd
'em
what
a
Plot
the
Barber
and
he
had
contriv'd
to
cure
Don
Quixote
,
or
at
least
to
get
him
home
to
his
House
and
Family
once
more
;
and
then
if
he
would
ramble
again
,
the
Devil
ramble
with
him
,
and
after
him
,
for
them
.
Mrs.
Dorothy
,
whom
the
fresh
Hopes
of
being
a
Lady
,
had
put
into
one
of
those
frolick
Humours
,
when
she
us'd
to
give
her
Father's
Chaplain
cold
Pigg
,
was
as
arch
,
and
as
ready
for
her
Kue
,
as
ever
she
had
been
to
strew
itching
Powder
i'
the
Spectacle-maker's
Wedding-Sheets
,
and
undertook
to
act
the
distressed
Lady
her self
,
to
save
the
Barber
the
trouble
of
disguising
himself
,
as
being
one
that
had
not
only
acted
the
same
part
so
lately
her self
,
but
had
spent
many
a
Night
at
home
in
reading
Books
of
Knight-Errantry
,
wherein
she
was
therefore
well
skill'd
.
Briskly
offer'd
,
Madam
,
quo
the
Curate
,
we
'll
take
ye
at
your
word
;
and
now
let
's
to
work
as
fast
as
we
can
.
Presently
Mrs
Dorothy
open'd
her
Pack
,
and
took
out
her
Woman's
Apparel
.
How
came
it
there
,
you
'l
say
?
Ask
no
Questions
for
Conscience-sake
;
the
Story
put
it
in
,
and
that
's
enough
.
More
then
that
,
't
was
a
Manteau
of
flower'd
Satin
,
with
a
Petticoat
of
Silver
upon
a
Ground
of
green
Silk
.
Nay
,
there
was
a
Neck-lace
of
Pearl
too
i'
the
Case
,
a
white
Tower
,
and
several
Gewgaws
of
the
same
Nature
.
You
see
now
how
soon
a
Historian
can
go
into
Pater-Noster-Row
,
buy
the
Stuff
,
send
it
to
the
Taylors
,
have
it
made
and
put
on
.
And
now
she
that
was
a
young
Lad
but
alittle
before
,
appears
to
be
a
Trim-gaudy
Lady
:
So
lovely
too
in
the
Eyes
of
Cardenio
,
the
Curate
and
the
Barber
,
that
they
all
stood
in
Admiration
,
that
D.
Ferdinand
should
be
such
a
Rascal
to
abuse
her
as
he
had
done
;
swearing
withal
,
that
he
would
be
glad
to
make
shift
with
many
a
worse
before
he
dy'd
.
But
he
that
most
admir'd
Mrs.
Dorothy
,
was
Sancho
,
he
had
almost
gaz'd
his
two
Eyes
out
with
looking
upon
her
,
and
wanted
two
more
to
satisfie
his
enamour'd
fancy
.
For
Heaven's-sake
,
quo
he
,
to
the
Curate
,
What
Lady
is
this
?
Make
no
Enquiries
,
Sancho
,
quo
the
Curate
.
This
Lady
dropp'd
out
of
the
Clouds
but
a
quarter
of
an
Hour
ago
,
and
is
the
only
Heiress
in
a
direct
Line
to
the
vast
Kingdom
of
Micomicon
;
she
is
now
come
to
implore
your
Master
to
assist
her
,
and
revenge
her
of
an
Injury
done
her
by
a
damn'd
Son
of
a
Whore
Giant
,
who
,
as
they
say
,
is
the
most
famous
and
desperate
Robber
in
all
Guiney
.
All
in
good
time
,
she
's
heartily
welcome
,
cry'd
Sancho
,
she
was
happy
in
seeking
,
but
far
more
happy
in
finding
—
Welcome
Joan
Sanders
—
welcome
—
welcome
—
.
Now
if
my
Master
can
be
so
happy
as
to
kill
this
Monster
with
thirty
Ribs
of
a
side
,
we
are
all
made
for
ever
.
I
must
confess
he
's
alittle
out
o'
Case
at
present
;
but
if
I
had
my
Will
and
Money
enough
,
a'
should
eat
nothing
but
Marrow-bones
and
Chines
o'
Beef
;
for
second
Course
nothing
but
stew'd
Oysters
,
Potato's
,
and
Eryngo's
,
and
drink
nothing
but
Nottingham
Ale
and
Chocolate
for
this
Month
together
,
and
then
let
him
but
drink
a
good
Morning's
Draught
upon
the
Day
of
Battel
,
and
you
shall
see
him
piss
down
the
Giant
.
On
the
other
side
,
Mr.
Curate
,
be
you
sure
that
this
Massy
Giant
do
not
prove
an
Apparition
;
for
upon
my
faith
,
I
know
it
by
Experience
,
my
Master
has
no
Power
over
Apparitions
;
an
Apparition
will
make
him
run
,
as
some
of
your
Hectors
will
run
from
a
Custard
held
out
upon
the
point
of
their
Adversaries
Sword
.
But
Mr.
Curate
,
quo
Sancho
,
I
have
one
favour
more
to
beg
of
ye
—
For
the
Lord's
sake
,
be
sure
to
put
my
Master
out
of
conceit
with
all
Arch-bishopricks
;
for
what
shall
I
get
by
his
being
an
Arch-bishop
?
I
know
not
what
to
do
i'
the
Church
;
I
can
hardly
say
my
Prayers
,
much
less
do
I
know
when
to
cry
Amen
,
or
how
to
set
a
Psalm
.
And
therefore
to
rid
me
of
all
my
fears
,
and
bar
up
the
Church
Doors
eternally
against
him
,
perswade
him
to
marry
this
Princess
,
and
that
you
know
will
bring
him
into
the
high
Road
to
be
an
Emperor
,
or
a
King
at
least
.
Besides
,
here
's
such
an
Opportunity
put
into
his
Hands
,
as
if
the
Heav'ns
themselves
had
design'd
him
him
for
a
Throne
.
And
therefore
,
I
say
,
let
him
cast
off
all
Thoughts
of
an
Arch-bishoprick
;
and
before
he
assist
this
Princess
,
advise
him
to
make
his
Bargain
wisely
,
and
to
get
it
under
Hand
and
Seal
—
she
'l
lie
with
him
before-hand
,
I
warrant
ye
,
to
be
rid
of
this
villainous
Giant
—
and
then
you
may
be
sure
she
'll
ne're
refuse
him
marriage
—
Pray
,
Mr.
Curate
,
what
's
her
Name
,
that
I
may
know
what
to
call
her
when
she
's
my
Mistress
?
They
call
her
,
quo
the
Curate
,
the
Princess
Micomicona
:
But
her
Kingdom
being
call'd
Micomicon
,
I
know
not
whether
she
derives
her
Name
from
her
Kingdom
,
or
her
Kingdom
from
her
.
She
from
the
Kingdom
,
no
doubt
,
quo
Sancho
;
for
the
Kingdom
must
of
necessity
be
ancienter
then
she
;
seeing
that
if
her
Father
had
not
been
King
of
Micomicon
,
she
could
not
,
as
Heiress
,
have
been
Princess
of
Micomicon
.
Law-ye-now
,
Mr.
Curate
,
I
am
so
much
a
Schollard
,
as
to
understand
that
:
And
therefore
I
am
apt
to
believe
it
is
a
Law
i'
that
Countrey
,
that
the
eldest
Daughters
must
always
carry
the
Name
of
the
Kingdom
,
and
that
they
have
been
call'd
Micomicona's
ever
since
't
was
a
Kingdom
;
that
was
before
Julius
Caesar's
time
.
I
warrant
ye
some
of
the
Herald-Painters
at
the
back-side
of
the
Exchange
could
resolve
this
Riddle
;
but
't
is
no
matter
at
present
—
Pray
,
Mr.
Curate
,
mind
the
main
Chance
.
Thou
speak'st
like
a
man
of
Reason
,
Sancho
,
quo
the
Curate
,
and
a
prudent
Councellour
;
and
I
'le
assure
thee
,
since
thou
hast
hit
on
't
so
luckily
,
I
'le
promote
the
Match
to
the
utmost
o'
my
Power
.
Which
Promise
of
the
Curate
gave
great
Satisfaction
to
the
faithful
Squire
,
who
sought
nothing
more
then
his
Master's
Interest
.
By
this
time
Mrs.
Dorothy
was
mounted
upon
the
Parson's
Mule
;
so
that
now
the
Barber
,
having
most
artificially
re-transmogrify'd
his
Frontispiece
with
his
false
Beard
,
nothing
remain'd
but
to
renew
their
Admonitions
to
Sancho
,
to
take
care
how
he
spoil'd
a
good
Plot
,
by
taking
the
least
Cognizance
of
his
Acquaintance
,
which
would
be
the
Ruine
both
of
all
his
Hopes
,
and
his
Master's
Empire
.
As
for
Cardenio
,
he
thought
it
better
to
tarry
behind
;
for
besides
that
,
it
was
none
of
his
Concern
,
he
was
unwilling
to
be
Cudgell'd
,
if
Don
Quixote
,
knowing
him
again
,
should
go
about
to
revenge
the
thump
he
had
giv'n
him
upon
the
Breast
a
little
before
.
The
Curate
also
,
finding
no
need
of
his
assistance
,
resolv'd
to
stay
with
Cardenio
.
Only
the
Princess
Micomicona
,
her
Squire
,
and
the
great
Sancho
,
set
forward
.
After
they
had
jogg'd
fair
and
softly
on
for
about
three
quarters
of
a
League
,
they
spy'd
Don
Quixote
among
the
Rocks
,
having
by
this
time
made
himself
ready
,
if
he
might
be
said
to
be
ready
without
his
Armour
.
Presently
Mrs.
Dorothy
,
understanding
that
he
was
the
Person
,
whipp'd
on
her
Palfrey
;
and
when
she
drew
near
Don
Quixote
,
her
Squire
alighted
,
and
took
her
from
her
Saddle
.
No
sooner
was
she
upon
her
feet
,
but
she
was
as
soon
upon
her
knees
before
the
Knight
;
at
what
time
embracing
his
Thighs
,
in
spight
of
all
the
Champion's
Lord
!
Madam's
,
Pray
Madam's
,
I
beseech
yee
Madam's
,
Good
Madam's
,
What
d'
mean
Madam's
,
to
the
contrary
.
Most
Valiant
and
Invincible
Knight
,
said
she
,
never
will
I
rise
from
this
place
,
till
your
Generosity
has
granted
me
a
Boon
,
which
will
redound
to
your
Honour
,
and
the
Relief
of
the
most
unfortunate
and
most
afflicted
Lady
that
ever
the
Sun
shone
upon
.
And
indeed
,
if
it
be
true
what
Fame
resounds
abroad
to
distant
Nations
of
your
Valour
,
and
the
strength
of
your
Arm
,
you
are
bound
by
the
Laws
of
Honour
and
the
Knighthood
which
you
profess
,
to
succour
a
miserable
Lady
,
that
led
by
the
loud
Fame
of
your
Great
Atchievements
,
comes
from
the
t'other
end
of
the
World
to
implore
your
Protection
.
Madam
,
reply'd
Don
Quixote
,
I
was
neither
born
at
Hoggs-Norton
,
nor
at
Taunton-Dean
,
that
I
should
be
such
a
Clown
to
talk
to
so
fair
a
Lady
,
kneeling
to
my
Person
.
Rise
therefore
,
Madam
,
and
deliver
your
Commands
to
your
Servant
upon
equal
Terms
.
No
,
most
Illustrious
Knight
,
my
knees
shall
first
grow
to
the
Ground
,
reply'd
the
afflicted
Princess
,
unless
you
shall
be
pleas'd
to
grant
me
the
Favour
which
I
humbly
request
.
I
grant
it
then
,
fair
Lady
,
quo
Don
Quixote
,
provided
it
be
nothing
to
the
disservice
of
my
King
,
my
Country
,
and
that
Matchless
Beauty
that
keeps
the
Key
both
of
my
Heart
and
Liberty
.
My
Honour
,
cry'd
the
mournful
Lady
,
lies
at
stake
;
't
is
quite
another
bus'ness
.
With
that
Sancho
closing
up
to
his
Master
,
and
whisp'ring
him
in
the
Ear
,
'
Slife
,
Sir
,
grant
it
,
—
grant
it
,
I
tell
ye
—
't
is
a
Trifle
;
nothing
but
to
kill
a
pitiful
lowsie
Giant
—
He
is
not
above
four
yards
about
,
and
fourteen
foot
high
;
ye
may
push
him
down
with
a
Taylor's
Bodkin
—
And
she
that
implores
this
favour
at
your
Hands
is
the
Princess
Micomicona
,
Queen
of
the
great
Kingdom
of
Micomicon
in
Ethiopia
.
Let
her
be
what
she
will
,
reply'd
Don
Quixote
,
I
'le
do
what
I
please
;
and
what
my
Conscience
,
and
the
Rules
of
my
Profession
oblige
me
to
.
And
then
turning
to
the
Lady
,
Rise
,
Madam
,
I
beseech
ye
,
cry'd
he
,
I
grant
ye
the
Boon
which
your
Illustrious
Beauty
Commands
.
Alas
,
Sir
,
the
Courtesie
which
I
beg
from
your
Magnanimous
Valour
,
matchless
Knight
,
reply'd
the
Lady
,
is
only
this
;
That
you
will
be
pleas'd
to
go
along
with
me
whither
I
shall
conduct
ye
,
and
promise
me
not
to
engage
in
any
other
Adventure
,
till
you
have
aveng'd
me
of
a
Traytor
that
Usurps
my
Kingdom
,
contrary
to
all
Law
,
both
Divine
and
Humane
.
I
promise
ye
,
most
Illustrious
Lady
,
the
utmost
of
my
Assistance
;
and
therefore
be
of
good
comfort
,
and
chase
impertinent
Sadness
from
your
Heart
;
for
by
the
Aid
of
Heaven
and
this
my
strong
Arm
,
I
doubt
not
but
to
restore
ye
to
your
Right
,
maugre
all
the
Cowardly
Miscreants
that
dare
oppose
me
.
Let
us
then
hasten
our
Performance
;
Delays
are
dangerous
,
Madam
,
and
are
many
times
the
disappointment
of
great
Atchievements
.
With
that
the
Princess
did
all
she
could
to
have
kiss'd
his
Hand
;
however
he
that
was
so
much
a
Knight
,
a
Gentleman
,
and
a
Courtier
,
would
by
no
means
suffer
such
a
Submission
in
so
great
a
Lady
:
But
having
rais'd
her
up
upon
her
feet
,
embrac'd
her
with
a
most
Majestick
Grace
;
and
at
the
same
time
call'd
to
Sancho
for
his
Arms.
Presently
Sancho
went
and
shook
'em
down
from
a
young
Ash
,
where
they
hung
as
if
it
had
been
an
Armour-Tree
.
And
now
Don
Quixote
being
like
a
Heater
in
a
Smoothing-Ir'n
,
all
compleatly
Cas'd
,
Come
on
,
said
he
,
let
us
go
and
succour
this
Illustrious
Princess
,
and
employ
the
Strength
and
Courage
Heav'n
has
bestow'd
upon
Us
,
to
the
Ruine
of
her
Enemies
.
The
Barber
,
who
was
all
this
while
upon
his
knees
,
and
had
enough
to
do
to
keep
a
Guard
upon
himself
,
for
fear
of
Laughing
,
or
letting
fall
his
Beard
,
which
would
have
been
the
utter
ruine
of
the
whole
Design
,
seeing
what
hast
Don
Quixote
made
to
be
gone
,
rose
up
,
and
taking
the
Princess
by
one
Hand
,
while
Don
Quixote
took
her
by
the
other
,
they
both
together
set
her
upon
her
Mule
.
Then
the
Invincible
mounted
his
Prancing
Rosinante
;
at
what
time
the
Barber
also
bestradling
his
Mule
,
they
began
to
jog
on
.
Only
poor
Sancho
,
methinks
my
Heart
bleeds
for
him
,
was
forc'd
to
walk
a
foot
;
and
such
was
the
barbarousness
of
the
rugged
Stones
,
that
they
took
no
Compassion
upon
his
tender
Toes
,
which
made
him
fetch
many
a
heavy
sigh
for
his
old
Ass
again
.
However
,
he
took
his
misfortunes
patiently
,
seeing
his
Master
in
so
fair
a
way
to
be
suddenly
an
Emperour
.
For
he
made
no
question
but
he
would
Marry
the
Princess
,
and
that
at
least
he
would
be
King
of
Micomicon
.
But
there
was
one
thing
that
disturb'd
the
pleasure
of
his
pleasing
Dream
,
and
that
was
this
:
That
his
Master's
Dominions
were
to
be
in
the
Land
of
the
Negro's
;
and
that
the
People
,
over
whom
he
was
to
be
a
Governour
,
were
all
to
be
Moors
.
But
for
this
he
presently
found
out
an
Expedient
of
Consolation
.
What
care
I
,
quo
he
,
tho
they
be
Moors
?
So
much
the
better
.
't
is
but
giving
notice
of
a
Negro-Fair
at
such
a
place
,
i'
the
Office
where
Maids
go
to
enquire
after
Services
,
and
I
shall
ha'
Customers
enow
for
the
Plantations
:
They
'l
take
off
at
least
a
Hundred
Thousand
a
Year
,
and
prevent
the
Trade
of
Kidnapping
,
and
Spiriting
of
Children
;
which
must
of
necessity
turn
to
a
good
Account
,
and
bring
me
in
a
good
round
Sum
,
with
which
I
may
be
able
to
retire
,
and
live
at
Peace
i'
my
Old
Age
;
leave
forty
shillings
a
Year
for
Wheaten
Loaves
,
to
be
given
to
the
Poor
o'
Sundays
;
and
ten
Pounds
a
Year
toward
a
weekly
six
a
Clock
i'
the
Morning
Lecture-Sermon
;
then
die
,
and
be
set
up
with
my
Wife
and
Children
in
a
kneeling
posture
against
the
Wall
of
the
Parish
Church
.
Why
,
quo
he
,
what
if
I
am
not
so
Book-learn'd
as
other
Men
?
Does
there
want
so
much
Philosophy
to
sell
two
or
three
hundred
thousand
Slaves
?
Pox
—
I
don't
intend
to
make
such
a
long
bus'ness
on
't
;
let
'em
ee'n
go
higgle-de-piggledy
,
little
and
great
;
what
tho
they
be
as
black
as
the
Devil
in
Hell
,
I
'le
transform
'em
,
I
'le
warrant
ye
,
into
white
and
yellow
Money
:
And
now
do
you
but
tell
me
,
whether
I
don't
know
how
to
lick
my
own
fingers
?
Full
of
these
tickling
Imaginations
,
Sancho
trudg'd
along
,
charming
away
the
pain
and
anguish
of
travelling
a
foot
.
All
this
while
the
Curate
and
Cardenio
had
beheld
the
Pleasant
Scene
through
the
Bushes
,
and
were
at
a
great
loss
what
they
should
do
to
joyn
Companies
.
But
the
Curate
having
bethought
himself
of
an
Expedient
,
pull'd
his
Scissars
out
of
his
Pocket
;
and
after
he
had
snipp'd
off
Cardenio's
Beard
,
made
him
put
on
his
Cassock
and
Cloak
,
while
he
remain'd
in
Cuerpo
only
with
his
Doublet
and
Breeches
.
In
which
new
Garb
Cardenio
was
so
strangely
alter'd
,
that
he
did
not
look
like
the
same
Man
.
This
done
,
away
they
made
to
the
High-way
,
and
there
stay'd
,
till
Don
Quixote
and
his
Company
were
got
clear
of
the
Mountain
.
When
they
came
near
,
and
that
Don
Quixote
made
a
stop
at
the
sight
of
strange
Faces
;
the
Curate
look'd
with
a
wistful
Eye
upon
Don
Quixote
,
as
one
that
was
in
a
study
whether
he
might
not
know
him
or
no
;
which
Passion
being
over
,
like
one
that
had
made
a
Discovery
,
he
ran
toward
Don
Quixote
with
open
Arms
,
crying
out
,
Mirror
of
Chivalry
,
well
met
—
my
dear
Countryman
,
Don
Quixote
de
la
Mancha
,
is
there
such
a
man
alive
,
the
Cream
and
Flower
of
Courage
;
the
Bulwark
of
the
weak
and
afflicted
,
and
Quintessence
of
Knight-Errantry
?
Lord
!
how
I
am
over
joy'd
to
see
your
Worship
;
and
so
saying
,
he
ran
to
him
,
and
embrac'd
his
left
Leg
with
such
an
Affection
,
that
he
could
not
forbear
to
drop
some
few
Tears
upon
his
Spur-leathers
.
Don
Quixote
admiring
what
Adorer
of
his
Princely
Vertues
this
should
be
,
star'd
him
i'
the
face
,
like
a
Picture-drawer
;
and
after
he
had
examin'd
every
Lineament
,
at
length
calling
him
again
to
mind
,
would
fain
have
alighted
.
But
the
Curate
hindring
him
,
Worthy
Doctor
,
cry'd
he
,
I
beseech
ye
let
me
not
be
so
rude
,
to
sit
o'
Horse-back
,
while
you
are
a
foot
.
Sir
,
you
shall
by
no
means
alight
,
quo
the
Curate
:
I
desire
your
Highness
to
keep
your
Saddle
;
't
will
be
Honour
enough
for
me
to
hold
by
the
Tail
of
one
of
your
Mules
,
if
your
Company
will
permit
me
.
't
will
be
the
same
thing
to
me
,
as
if
I
were
mounted
upon
Pegasus
,
or
the
Wild
Mare
of
the
Famous
Moor
Musarake
,
who
lies
Enchanted
in
the
drearie
Cavern
of
Oukie
Hole
,
in
the
Province
of
Somertonia
.
Forgive
me
,
worthy
Doctor
,
reply'd
the
Knight
,
you
speak
with
a
Humility
becoming
your
Coat
,
and
give
an
Example
to
many
that
never
mind
it
;
but
I
suppose
the
Princess
will
be
so
kind
,
as
to
Command
her
Squire
to
lend
ye
his
Saddle
,
and
to
ride
behind
himself
,
if
the
Beast
be
but
accustom'd
,
as
some
Parsons
Wives
,
to
carry
double
.
My
Beast
carries
double
,
without
all
doubt
,
reply'd
the
Princess
;
and
my
Squire
,
I
suppose
,
will
not
stay
for
my
Commands
to
offer
the
Doctor
his
Saddle
:
He
is
better
bred
of
himself
,
then
to
suffer
an
Ecclesiastical
Person
to
go
a
foot
,
while
he
rides
.
Most
certainly
,
reply'd
the
Barber
;
and
presently
alighting
,
presented
his
Saddle
to
the
Curate
,
who
accepted
of
it
without
more
entreaty
.
By
accident
the
Mule
was
a
hir'd
Beast
;
that
is
,
in
plain
English
,
a
skittish
resty
Jade
:
So
that
the
Barber
was
no
sooner
got
behind
the
Curate
,
but
she
gave
two
or
three
such
yerks
with
her
hinder
Legs
,
that
the
Barber
,
fearing
to
endanger
the
Propagation
of
his
Family
,
was
forc'd
to
fling
himself
off
her
back
,
to
save
his
Perquisits
of
Generation
.
And
perceiving
that
he
had
lost
his
Beard
i'
the
fall
,
he
could
not
think
of
any
better
way
then
to
clap
his
hand
before
his
Chaps
,
and
cry
out
as
loud
as
he
could
yaul
,
that
he
had
broken
his
Jaw-bone
.
Heav'ns
bless
me
,
quo
Don
Quixote
,
beholding
such
an
over-grown
furbush
of
a
Beard
without
a
Chin
,
here
's
the
eighth
Wonder
of
the
World
;
I
never
saw
a
Muscovite
Beard
so
cleverly
tak'n
off
without
a
Wash-ball
and
Razor
,
since
I
first
read
my
Primer
.
Presently
the
Curate
,
perceiving
the
terrible
danger
they
were
in
of
a
Plot-spoyling-Discovery
,
caught
up
the
Beard
,
and
running
to
the
Barber
,
who
lay
all
the
while
heavily
bemoaning
his
Chapps
,
laid
the
Barber's
Head
to
his
Breast
,
and
then
muttering
certain
words
,
which
he
said
,
were
a
Charm
in
Trithemius
,
peculiar
for
the
fastning
on
again
of
a
loose
Beard
,
fix'd
it
on
again
so
exactly
,
that
the
Barber
was
as
sound
as
ever
he
was
before
.
Which
put
Don
Quixote
into
a
far
greater
Astonishment
;
insomuch
,
that
he
desir'd
the
Curate
very
seriously
to
teach
him
the
Charm
,
when
he
was
at
more
leisure
.
Not
doubting
but
that
the
Vertue
of
such
a
Charm
extended
farther
then
to
the
fastning
of
Hair
,
since
't
was
impossible
that
such
a
prodigious
Beard
could
be
torn
off
,
without
fetching
away
Flesh
and
all
;
so
that
such
a
sudden
Cure
might
a●●●
him
upon
the
rending
off
a
Limb
from
his
Body
,
should
such
a
Misfortune
at
any
time
befall
him
.
And
now
all
things
being
in
statu
quo
,
it
was
so
order'd
,
That
the
Curate
should
ride
alone
by
himself
,
and
that
Cardenio
and
the
Barber
should
relieve
one
another
,
sometimes
riding
,
sometimes
walking
by
Turns
,
till
they
came
to
their
Inn
,
which
was
about
two
Leagues
off
.
The
Princess
and
the
Curate
being
thus
mounted
,
and
Cardenio
,
the
Barber
and
Sancho
,
being
a-foot
,
Don
Quixote
addressing
himself
to
the
Princess
,
now
Madam
,
quo
he
,
your
Highness
has
no
more
to
do
,
but
to
tell
us
which
way
we
must
go
,
and
we
are
all
ready
to
follow
.
At
what
time
the
Curate
chopping
in
before
the
Princess
could
answer
,
Toward
what
Kingdom
,
said
he
,
is
it
your
Highness's
Pleasure
to
lead
us
?
yet
pardon
me
,
Madam
,
for
asking
,
when
I
know
it
must
be
toward
the
Kingdom
of
Micomicon
.
To
which
Mrs.
Dorothy
,
who
had
Wit
at
Will
,
and
was
not
to
learn
how
to
carry
on
an
Intrigue
;
you
have
pick'd
the
very
Kingdom
out
of
all
Kingdoms
of
the
Earth
,
more
like
a
Prophet
,
quo
she
,
then
a
Curate
.
If
it
be
so
,
quo
the
Doctor
,
then
our
way
lies
directly
through
the
middle
of
our
Village
,
from
whence
we
have
a
streight
Road
to
Cartagena
,
where
we
must
embark
.
And
if
we
have
a
fair
Gale
,
and
a
calm
Sea
,
we
may
in
nine
Years
reach
the
Lake
Moeotis
,
otherwise
call'd
the
White
Sea
,
where
you
may
see
a
thousand
Mermaids
all
in
a
Cluster
together
,
pap'ring
up
their
Towers
on
a
Saturday
Evening
,
and
lies
not
above
a
hundred
Days
Journey
from
your
Highness's
Kingdom
.
Surely
,
Sir
,
reply'd
Mrs.
Dorothy
,
you
are
under
a
Mistake
;
for
't
is
but
two
Years
since
I
set
out
from
my
own
Dominions
,
nor
can
I
say
,
that
we
had
such
fair
Weather
neither
,
but
sometimes
rough
Seas
,
and
contrary
Winds
;
and
yet
I
must
tell
ye
,
I
ha'
been
here
in
Spain
too
for
some
Weeks
,
where
I
had
no
sooner
set
my
Foot
a
shore
,
but
I
heard
the
Streets
ring
with
the
famous
Atchievements
of
the
Renowned
Don
Quixote
de
la
Mancha
,
whom
I
therefore
resolv'd
to
find
out
,
if
he
were
above
Ground
,
whatever
it
cost
me
,
resolving
to
throw
my self
under
his
Protection
,
and
to
commit
the
Justice
of
my
Cause
to
his
Wonder-working
Arm.
Lord
,
Madam
;
what
d'
ye
mean
,
cry'd
Don
Quixote
?
I
am
your
humble
Servant
,
Madam
;
honest
Truepenny
,
and
meer
mortal
Don
Quixote
de
la
Mancha
,
that
's
my
Name
and
Title
:
And
therefore
spare
your
Complements
,
I
find
y'
are
a
Courtier
from
Top
to
Toe
;
but
for
my
part
,
I
hate
Flattery
,
my
Ears
are
too
chaste
to
be
ravish'd
by
Adulation
.
You
do
not
hear
me
tell
ye
whether
I
am
a
Man
or
a
Mouse
:
All
I
say
,
is
this
,
If
I
am
valiant
,
so
;
if
I
am
not
valiant
,
so
;
but
whether
I
am
valiant
,
or
not
valiant
,
I
am
wholly
at
your
Service
,
even
to
the
Expence
of
the
last
drop
of
my
Blood
;
and
let
time
tell
ye
,
whether
Don
Quixote
be
a
Milk-sop
,
or
no
.
In
the
mean
while
I
would
fain
know
of
the
Curate
,
what
brought
him
hither
all
alone
,
a-foot
,
and
in
Querpo
,
like
a
School-master
going
to
the
House
of
Office
;
for
I
must
confess
I
am
strangely
surpriz'd
to
see
him
in
this
Condition
.
Why
then
,
an
't
like
your
Honour
,
my
Lord
Don
Quixote
,
to
tell
ye
the
Reason
succinctly
in
few
words
,
Mr.
Nicholas
our
Barber
and
I
went
to
Sevil
to
receive
some
Money
which
an
Unkle
sent
me
some
years
ago
from
the
Indies
;
nor
was
it
an
inconsiderable
Sum
,
as
being
no
less
then
fifteen
hundred
pound
Sterling
.
But
upon
the
Road
we
met
with
four
Highway-men
that
pillag'd
us
of
all
we
had
,
even
to
our
very
Beards
,
so
that
the
Barber
was
forc'd
to
get
him
a
Chin-Perriwig
.
And
as
for
that
Gentleman
,
whom
you
see
there
,
pointing
to
Cardenio
,
after
they
had
borrow'd
his
Cloak-bag
,
and
stripp'd
him
to
his
Shirt
,
they
made
him
fit
for
another
Fable
in
Ovid
,
by
transfiguring
him
,
as
you
see
.
Now
they
say
,
that
these
Rogues
were
a
sort
of
Fellows
condemn'd
to
the
Gallies
,
who
were
rescu'd
by
a
valiant
Knight
,
from
the
Jailor
and
his
Guard
,
in
spite
of
their
Teeths
,
as
they
were
carrying
'em
to
the
Port
where
they
were
to
be
embarkt
.
However
,
I
must
needs
say
,
the
Knight
was
a
Fool
or
a
Mad-man
for
his
Pains
,
or
else
as
great
a
Rogue
as
any
of
'em
,
to
let
out
a
Company
of
Wolves
among
Sheep
,
Foxes
among
innocent
Poultry
,
and
Bears
among
Honey-pots
,
contrary
to
the
Law
of
Nations
,
his
Allegiance
to
his
Prince
,
and
his
Respect
to
publick
Justice
,
disabling
the
Strength
of
the
Kings
Gallies
,
invalidating
the
Sentences
of
the
Judges
upon
Criminals
,
and
like
a
rash
and
hair-brain'd
Coxcomb
,
forfeiting
at
once
both
his
Life
and
his
Liberty
upon
Earth
,
if
he
should
come
to
be
prosecuted
for
his
Folly
,
and
his
Salvation
hereafter
.
For
you
must
know
,
that
Sancho
had
told
the
Curate
the
Story
of
the
Galley-slaves
,
who
therefore
preach'd
this
Sermon
so
severely
to
hear
what
Don
Quixote
would
say
,
who
chang'd
Colour
at
every
word
,
not
daring
to
boast
of
that
Act
of
his
Valour
,
which
the
Curate
had
damn'd
as
an
Atchievement
more
fit
for
the
Devil
,
then
a
pious
Knight-Errant
.
And
these
,
quo
the
Curate
,
concluding
his
Text
,
were
the
cursed
Villains
,
that
reduc'd
us
to
this
miserable
Condition
;
God
forgive
'em
,
and
that
Poltron
of
a
Knight
,
that
freed
'em
from
the
just
Punishment
of
their
Impieties
.
CHAP.
III
.
The
Pursuit
of
the
History
of
the
Princess
of
Micomicon
,
containing
the
cunning
Policies
and
Stratagems
of
the
Curate
and
Barber
,
to
free
the
enamour'd
Knight
from
the
rigorous
Penance
which
he
had
undertak'n
.
THIS
Sermon
of
the
Curate's
,
short
and
home
,
and
deliver'd
without
Book
,
with
a
becoming
Gesture
(
the
true
Character
of
a
good
Sermon
)
wrought
so
feelingly
upon
Sancho's
Conscience
,
that
he
made
open
Confession
;
Cuds-bodikins
,
quo
he
,
and
who
d'
think
now
't
was
perform'd
that
desperate
Exploit
?
Troth-law
,
to
his
eternal
Fame
be
it
spok'n
,
no
living
body
i'
the
varsal
World
,
but
my
dear
valiant
Master
his
nown
self
.
And
yet
my
Mind
gave
me
he
did
not
do
well
in
it
;
and
therefore
't
was
,
that
I
bid
him
have
a
care
what
he
did
,
and
told
him
how
that
it
could
not
chuse
,
but
be
a
very
great
Sin
to
set
at
liberty
the
Heels
of
a
Company
of
Miscreants
,
whom
the
Law
had
condemn'd
to
the
Gallies
for
their
Villainies
.
And
now
I
find
,
Mr.
Curate
,
I
was
i'
the
right
on
't
.
Ye
Pumpkin-pated
Coxcomb
,
cry'd
Don
Quixote
,
Is
it
for
a
Knight-Errant
,
when
he
meets
with
People
laden
with
Chains
,
and
under
Oppression
,
as
they
were
,
upon
the
Road
,
to
take
notice
whether
they
suffer'd
justly
or
unjustly
?
Knight-Errants
are
only
to
relieve
the
afflicted
,
and
not
to
examine
whether
they
be
Rogues
or
Martyrs
.
I
met
a
Company
of
poor
Fellows
in
dismal
Calamity
,
link'd
together
like
the
Beads
of
a
Rosary
,
and
I
set
'em
at
liberty
.
Therein
I
did
what
my
Conscience
,
and
my
Profession
oblig'd
me
to
.
And
what
has
any
Mortal
breathing
to
say
to
this
?
if
there
be
,
unless
it
be
Mr.
Curate
,
here
,
whom
I
respect
a
little
for
his
Coat's
sake
,
he
's
the
Son
of
ten
thousand
Fathers
,
and
knows
not
what
belongs
to
Knight-Errantry
;
and
I
'le
make
him
eat
my
Sword
and
spew
it
up
again
,
for
I
would
be
loath
to
lose
it
.
And
having
so
said
,
he
fix'd
himself
in
his
Stirrups
,
and
pull'd
his
Helmet
o're
his
Brows
,
and
look'd
as
grim
,
as
if
he
had
vow'd
the
Death
of
ten
Serasquier-Bashaw's
,
with
twenty
thousand
Men
a
piece
at
their
Heels
:
for
as
for
Mambrino's
Bason
,
it
hung
at
his
Saddle
bow
,
batter'd
as
it
was
by
the
Galley-Slaves
,
fit
for
nothing
but
to
mend
old
Kettles
.
Thereupon
,
Mrs.
Dorothy
by
this
time
well
acquainted
with
his
Humour
,
seeing
him
in
such
a
Passion
,
like
a
fleering
Slut
as
she
was
,
For
Heaven's
sake
,
Sir
,
quo
she
,
asswage
your
Fury
;
for
I
dare
swear
,
had
Mr.
Curate
known
't
had
been
your
Valour
that
so
religiously
set
the
ungodly
Galley-Slaves
at
liberty
,
he
would
ha'
cut
out
his
Tongue
a
thousand
times
,
rather
then
ha'
spok'n
a
word
that
shou'd
ha'
displeas'd
your
Worship
.
No
,
I
assure
ye
,
Sir
,
quo
the
Curate
,
tho
the
Varlets
had
twitch'd
my
Beard
off
Hair
by
Hair
.
I
am
satisfy'd
,
Madam
,
quo
Don
Quixote
,
and
for
your
sake
the
Flame
of
my
just
Indignation
is
already
quench'd
;
nor
will
I
engage
in
any
more
Quarrels
,
till
I
have
perform'd
my
Promise
to
your
Sovereign
Highness
.
Only
,
Madam
,
because
't
is
but
rational
for
a
Man
to
know
for
what
he
ventures
his
Bones
,
I
beg
of
your
Highness
to
give
us
a
brief
Account
of
your
Disasters
,
that
I
may
know
where
to
deny
all
manner
of
Mercy
,
where
to
dismember
,
and
where
to
spare
both
Life
and
Limb
,
if
there
be
any
that
can
deserve
so
much
Compassion
,
that
have
offended
so
much
Vertue
in
a
Sovereign
Princess
.
Lord
!
Sir
,
quo
Mrs.
Dorothy
,
't
is
the
least
thing
I
can
do
to
oblige
the
most
matchless
Champion
i'
the
World
,
but
that
I
fear
my
Story
will
be
too
tedious
and
irksom
to
your
Ears
.
Madam
,
so
far
,
by
my
Soul
,
from
being
irksom
,
that
do
but
say
how
many
Giants
Thumbs
,
with
every
one
a
Gold
Ring
,
you
expect
for
your
Trouble
,
and
you
shall
have
'em
paid
upon
sight
.
Since
then
it
must
be
so
,
cry'd
Mrs.
Dorothy
,
I
must
beg
ye
,
Sir
,
to
lend
me
your
Attention
.
With
that
Cardenio
and
the
Barber
gather'd
up
to
her
,
to
hear
what
a
pickl'd
Story
she
had
provided
so
soon
;
tho
they
doubted
not
but
her
Wit
and
her
Fancy
was
such
,
that
she
had
one
as
ready
as
a
Lye
in
a
King's-Bench
Waiter's
Mouth
.
Sancho
also
hung
his
Ears
upon
her
Side-saddle
,
as
if
he
had
been
to
take
her
Speech
in
Short-hand
;
at
what
time
the
Lady
having
cough'd
,
spit
,
and
wip'd
her
Lips
,
with
the
greatest
Grace
i'
the
World
,
thus
began
:
First
then
,
Gentlemen
,
you
must
know
that
my
Name
is
—
Here
she
stopp'd
,
having
quite
forgot
the
Name
which
the
Curate
had
giv'n
her
.
Whereupon
the
Curate
,
finding
her
at
a
Non-plus
,
rode
close
up
to
her
,
and
begging
Pardon
for
his
Interruption
;
Madam
,
quo
he
,
there
is
nothing
more
disturbs
,
and
discomposes
the
Mind
and
the
Memory
,
then
long
and
extreme
Affliction
.
I
my self
that
am
but
the
poor
Curate
of
Toboso
,
the
chiefest
of
whose
living
is
by
unlicenc'd
Weddings
,
have
been
so
beside
my self
many
times
for
the
Cheat
of
a
Brass
Half-Crown
put
upon
me
,
that
I
have
forgot
my
own
Name
,
nor
could
I
remember
it
again
for
my
life
,
till
the
Clark
has
told
it
me
;
no
wonder
then
that
the
Princess
Micomicona
,
Heiress
to
the
vast
Kingdom
of
Micomicon
,
overwhelm'd
with
so
many
Calamities
,
and
perplex'd
with
so
many
various
Thoughts
for
the
Recovery
of
so
vast
a
Dominion
,
should
have
her
Imagination
and
Memory
so
much
incumber'd
as
you
have
at
this
present
,
but
—
I
must
confess
,
reply'd
Mrs.
Dorothy
,
that
but
just
now
there
hover'd
before
my
Eyes
such
a
black
and
dreadful
Apparition
of
the
Misfortunes
that
I
am
going
to
relate
,
that
I
hardly
knew
what
I
said
;
but
having
now
pretty
well
recover'd
my
self
,
I
hope
I
shall
be
able
to
go
on
without
any
farther
Hesitation
.
Know
then
,
Gentlemen
,
that
I
am
lawful
Heiress
to
the
vast
Kingdom
of
Micomicon
,
and
that
the
King
my
Father
,
who
was
call'd
Tinacrin
the
Wise
,
a
Person
also
greatly
skill'd
in
Magick
Art
,
understood
by
his
profound
Knowledge
in
that
mysterious
Science
(
for
he
had
all
Cornelius
Agrippa's
Works
by
heart
)
that
Queen
Caramilla
my
Mother
should
die
before
him
,
and
that
he
himself
should
not
live
long
after
her
,
but
leave
me
a
young
Orphan
.
But
that
was
not
the
thing
that
troubl'd
him
,
for
he
knew
that
Princes
were
mortal
,
and
that
it
is
usual
to
leave
their
Children
behind
'em
,
sometimes
i'
their
Swadling-Clothes
;
but
his
Magical
Speculations
fore-told
him
,
That
a
certain
Giant
as
big
as
ten
ordinary
Giants
,
and
as
monstrous
as
Hobb's
Leviathan
,
Lord
of
a
great
Island
almost
upon
the
Confines
of
my
Kingdom
,
whose
Name
is
Pandafilando
,
sirnam'd
the
Sawcer-Ey'd
;
because
he
always
look'd
as
the
Devil
look'd
over
Lincoln
,
on
purpose
to
fright
all
People
he
star'd
upon
.
My
Father
,
I
say
,
fore-saw
that
this
Giant
,
well
knowing
that
I
had
neither
Father
nor
Mother
,
would
one
day
invade
my
Dominions
with
a
powerful
Army
,
and
expel
me
out
of
my
spatious
Territories
,
without
leaving
me
so
much
as
a
thatch'd
Village
to
put
my
Head
in
;
tho
he
knew
withal
,
that
I
might
avoid
my
Misfortune
,
provided
I
would
consent
to
marry
him
;
but
that
it
was
impossible
for
me
to
have
any
such
Thought
,
well
understanding
the
Skill
which
by
that
time
I
should
have
in
Anatomy
.
For
which
Reason
he
was
sure
I
would
neither
marry
with
that
Giant
,
nor
with
any
other
Giant
i'
the
World
.
My
Father
therefore
left
it
in
his
Will
,
That
I
should
take
my
Disasters
patiently
for
a
Time
,
and
resign
my
Kingdom
to
him
without
more
ado
,
since
I
was
in
no
wise
able
to
make
any
Defence
to
prevent
the
Ruine
of
my
Subjects
:
But
withal
,
he
left
me
also
this
comfortable
Advice
,
That
I
should
forthwith
betake
my self
into
Spain
,
where
I
should
meet
with
a
potent
Protector
,
in
the
Person
of
a
Renowned
Knight-Errant
,
fam'd
over
all
the
World
for
his
Valour
,
and
his
Strength
,
and
call'd
by
the
Name
,
if
I
forget
not
,
of
D.
Hacote
or
Gigote
—
You
are
pretty
near
the
matter
,
quo
Sancho
,
interrupting
her
,
call
him
therefore
D.
Quixote
,
Madam
,
or
the
Knight
of
the
Ill-favour'd
Countenance
.
Y'
are
very
right
,
Sir
,
reply'd
Mrs.
Dorothy
,
't
was
Don
Quixote
,
now
I
remember
my self
.
My
Father
also
describ'd
to
me
a
lean
Man
with
a
wither'd
Face
,
and
that
he
had
upon
his
left
Shoulder
,
or
somewhere
thereabouts
,
a
black
Mole
over-grown
with
a
thick
Tuft
of
Hair
.
With
that
,
Don
Quixote
calling
for
Sancho
to
come
to
him
;
Here
,
Sirrah
,
said
he
,
hold
my
Lance
,
and
help
me
to
undress
my self
,
for
I
can
soon
know
whether
it
were
me
that
this
Conjurer
of
a
King
prophesy'd
after
this
manner
.
Why
so
much
haste
,
Sir
Knight
,
reply'd
Mrs.
Dorothy
,
to
strip
your self
?
To
see
whether
I
have
any
such
Mole
about
me
,
quo
Don
Quixote
,
as
you
speak
of
.
You
need
not
undress
your self
for
that
,
reply'd
Sancho
,
I
am
well
satisfy'd
that
you
have
a
Mark
upon
your
Back-bone
,
or
somewhat
near
it
,
like
what
the
Princess
describes
.
't
is
sufficient
,
quo
Mrs.
Dorothy
;
Friends
can
believe
one
another
without
such
a
strict
Examination
;
nor
am
I
going
to
swear
it
before
a
Master
in
Chancery
;
for
whether
it
be
upon
your
left
or
right
Shoulder
,
't
is
not
a
Straw
matter
,
since
't
is
all
the
same
Body
and
the
same
Flesh
.
In
short
,
I
find
my
Father
spoke
truth
in
every
thing
,
and
that
I
am
right
in
recommending
my self
to
Don
Quixote
,
whose
Stature
and
Visage
so
well
agree
with
my
Father's
Description
;
and
whose
Reputation
is
so
far
spread
abroad
,
that
I
was
no
sooner
landed
at
Ossuna
,
but
I
heard
of
the
miraculous
Atchievements
he
had
perform'd
;
and
then
I
was
confident
that
he
was
the
Person
to
whom
I
was
to
make
my
Addresses
.
But
pray
,
Madam
,
quo
Don
Quixote
,
how
came
you
to
land
at
Ossuna
,
which
is
no
Sea-port
Town
?
Lord
!
quo
the
Curate
,
interrupting
him
;
don't
ye
know
,
Sir
,
that
the
Princess
is
a
Stranger
?
She
means
,
that
after
she
landed
at
Malaga
,
the
first
Place
she
came
to
,
was
Ossuna
,
and
there
she
heard
,
&c.
That
is
what
I
would
have
said
,
reply'd
Mrs.
Dorothy
.
There
's
all
the
Reason
i'
the
World
to
believe
it
,
quo
the
Curate
,
and
therefore
your
Majesty
may
be
pleas'd
to
go
on
wi'
your
Story
when
you
please
.
I
have
nothing
more
to
say
,
reply'd
Mrs.
Dorothy
,
but
only
to
bless
my
good
Fortune
for
having
so
luckily
met
with
this
Renowned
Knight
,
by
whose
Valour
I
look
upon
my self
as
already
restor'd
to
the
Throne
of
my
Ancestors
;
since
he
has
done
me
the
Favour
to
promise
me
his
Assistance
against
that
Traitor
of
a
Giant
Pandafilando
,
whom
I
hope
in
a
short
time
to
see
let
blood
i'
the
Head
,
like
a
Goose
,
till
he
bleed
to
death
,
and
be
reveng'd
of
him
for
so
unjustly
depriving
me
of
my
lawful
Inheritance
.
One
thing
I
forgot
to
tell
ye
,
That
my
Father
left
me
another
Paper
,
wherein
he
charg'd
me
,
That
after
the
Knight
had
restor'd
me
to
the
Possession
of
my
Kingdom
,
if
he
should
ask
me
i'
the
way
of
honesty
to
marry
me
,
I
should
never
stand
Shilly-shally
,
but
marry
him
incontinently
.
What
thinkst
on
't
now
,
Sancho
,
quo
Don
Quixote
?
Didst
hear
what
she
said
?
Did
I
not
tell
thee
't
would
rain
Kingdoms
,
and
Kings
Daughters
,
and
Governments
,
afore
a
Month
came
to
an
end
?
Ay
,
ay
,
quo
Sancho
,
one
of
the
gayest
Proffers
i'
the
World
;
and
now
the
Devil
take
me
,
if
he
ben't
the
Son
of
a
Whore
that
does
not
go
forthwith
and
dissect
this
confounded
Giant
Pandafilando
,
and
take
the
Princess
at
her
word
.
A
Buxome
Girl
,
I
warrant
her
:
Cuds
foot
—
would
all
the
Fleas
i'
my
Bed
were
such
.
And
having
so
said
,
he
fetch'd
two
or
three
frisks
i'
the
Air
,
and
flung
out
his
Joy
with
a
Hey-Boys
.
Which
done
,
he
fell
upon
his
Knees
at
Mrs.
Dorothy's
Feet
,
beseeching
her
to
give
him
her
Hand
to
kiss
,
as
an
Acknowledgment
that
he
own'd
her
for
his
Queen
and
Mistress
.
Thereupon
Mrs.
Dorothy
gave
him
her
Hand
to
kiss
,
and
promis'd
to
make
him
a
great
Lord
so
soon
as
she
should
be
re-settl'd
in
her
Territories
.
For
which
Sancho
return'd
her
thanks
in
such
an
extravagant
Complement
,
that
they
all
fell
a
laughing
at
such
a
rate
,
that
Sancho
feeling
Authority
begin
to
encroach
upon
him
,
bid
'em
understand
themselves
,
and
know
their
Distance
.
Then
Mrs.
Dorothy
proceeding
,
Thus
,
quo
she
,
I
have
made
ye
a
Recital
of
my
Misfortunes
:
I
have
no
more
to
say
,
but
only
to
tell
ye
this
,
That
of
my
Train
that
attended
me
out
of
my
Kingdom
,
I
have
not
one
left
but
my
Squire
yonder
with
the
long
Beard
:
All
the
rest
were
cast
away
in
a
terrible
Storm
just
in
sight
of
our
Harbour
;
only
I
and
my
Squire
got
ashore
upon
two
Planks
,
and
so
sav'd
our selves
;
a
good
Omen
that
Heav'n
has
preserv'd
us
for
better
Fortune
.
Oh
,
Madam
!
quo
Don
Quixote
,
y'
have
met
with
it
already
;
for
I
confirm
my
granted
Boon
,
and
once
more
swear
by
my
Affeiction
to
the
fair
Dulcinea
,
to
follow
ye
to
the
End
of
the
World
,
and
never
to
abandon
your
just
Pretensions
,
till
I
have
encounter'd
your
prodigious
Enemy
,
sliver'd
off
his
superfluous
Head
,
and
giv'n
his
Carkass
to
the
Fowls
of
the
Air
,
were
he
as
valiant
as
twenty
Mars's
all
put
together
.
And
when
I
have
restor'd
ye
to
your
Throne
,
I
shall
then
leave
ye
at
full
Liberty
to
dispose
of
your
Person
as
you
please
your self
.
For
being
,
as
I
am
,
a
Vassal
to
the
Matchless
—
I
say
no
more
,
since
't
is
impossible
for
me
,
God
wot
,
to
marry
,
tho
it
were
with
a
Phoenix
.
At
which
last
Words
and
Sighs
of
his
Master
;
Sancho
,
who
listen'd
like
an
inquisitive
Chamber-maid
,
to
hear
Don
Quixote's
Answer
,
became
so
pensive
and
discontented
withal
,
that
not
being
able
to
contain
his
Passion
;
By
the
Bowels
of
all
the
Giants
i'
the
World
,
Senior
Don
Quixote
,
quo
he
,
you
have
lost
your
Wits
.
Would
ever
any
man
else
sit
Hum-drumming
,
as
you
do
,
whether
he
should
marry
this
great
Princess
,
or
no
?
Surely
you
can't
think
such
Fortunes
grow
upon
every
Hedge
—
or
is
it
because
Mrs.
Long
Meg
o'
Westminster
is
handsomer
then
she
?
How
!
—
she
must
chip
off
a
handful
from
her
Nose
first
,
y'
faith
,
and
that
won't
do
neither
—
As
handsom
as
she
!
why
,
sure
your
Eyes
are
enchanted
—
Why
,
I
must
tell
ye
,
as
little
Skill
as
I
ha'
in
Beauty
,
your
Divine
Dulcinea
,
as
ye
call
her
,
is
a
meer
Tripewoman
to
her
—
she
does
not
deserve
to
carry
the
Princess's
Pattins
after
her
.
Zookers
!
is
this
the
way
for
me
to
have
the
Earldom
I
ha'
been
so
long
waiting
for
,
after
all
your
Promises
,
for
you
to
go
diving
after
Mushrooms
i'
the
bottom
o'
the
Sea
—
?
Marry
then
,
marry
with
a
Pox
to
ye
—
and
don't
lie
doating
thus
on
a
filthy
Stammel
,
but
take
a
Kingdom
,
Goodman
Fool
,
that
comes
dropping
,
as
it
were
,
into
your
mouth
,
that
I
may
be
an
Earl
,
or
a
Marquess
,
or
something
like
it
,
when
you
ha'
done
as
ye
ought
;
for
every
honest
man's
as
good
as
his
Word
;
and
when
you
have
perform'd
that
,
you
may
go
hang
your self
,
if
you
think
fit
.
Don
Quixote
hearing
such
Blasphemies
utter'd
against
his
ador'd
Dulcinea
,
heaves
up
his
Lance
,
and
without
speaking
a
word
that
might
discover
his
boiling
Passion
,
gave
his
indiscreet
Squire
two
such
Paper-mill
Thumps
upon
the
very
Scull
of
him
,
that
he
lay
kicking
with
his
Heels
,
like
a
Cat
that
has
had
her
Forehead
well
rubb'd
;
and
had
it
not
been
that
Mrs.
Dorothy
scream'd
out
,
and
begg'd
of
him
to
forbear
,
for
God's
sake
,
he
had
murder'd
poor
Sancho
out-right
in
his
fiery
Indignation
.
Dog
in
a
Doublet
,
quo
he
,
do
ye
think
I
am
bound
always
to
bear
wi'
your
Bumkinly
Frumps
wi'
my
Hands
i'
my
Pocket
?
No
,
no
,
don't
believe
it
,
ye
excommunicated
Miscreant
;
I
say
excommunicated
,
for
having
open'd
thy
blubber
Lips
so
prophanely
against
the
Peerless
Dulcinea
.
Dost
thou
not
know
,
rascally
Ragamuffin
as
thou
art
,
that
were
it
not
for
the
Courage
which
she
infuses
into
my
Breast
,
and
the
Strength
with
which
she
fortifies
my
Arm
,
that
I
should
not
be
able
to
kill
a
Titmouse
?
Ye
confounded
Rakeshame
,
ye
Tailors
Nit
,
who
wast
,
d'
ye
think
,
that
re-conquer'd
the
Kingdom
of
Microcomicon
,
slew
the
vast
Giant
that
cover'd
a
whole
Acre
of
Ground
,
when
he
fell
,
and
rais'd
thee
from
a
lazy
Scoundrel
,
to
be
a
Marquess
(
for
I
look
upon
all
these
things
to
be
done
already
)
but
only
Dulcinea's
Valour
,
of
which
my
Arm
was
no
more
then
the
unworthy
Instrument
?
Is
it
not
she
that
puts
me
on
,
as
I
put
on
my
Armour
,
fights
Cap-a-pe
in
her
Don
Quixote
,
and
wins
me
all
my
Victories
?
She
by
whom
I
live
and
breath
,
and
to
whom
I
owe
my
Life
and
Being
.
Treacherous
and
ingrateful
Beast
,
is
it
any
longer
then
three
minutes
ago
,
that
I
rais'd
thee
from
the
Dunghil
to
the
Pinacle
of
Honour
,
and
does
thy
vip'rous
Tongue
already
dart
thy
Poison
at
thy
Benefactress
?
Sancho
was
not
so
stunn'd
,
but
that
he
heard
every
word
his
Master
said
;
but
because
he
was
resolv'd
to
secure
himself
before
he
made
him
an
Answer
,
up
he
crawl'd
,
and
getting
o'
t'other
fide
Mrs.
Dorothy's
Palfrey
;
Now
come
on
,
Sir
,
quo
he
,
you
that
think
your self
such
a
Privy
Counsellour
,
pray
tell
me
how
't
is
possible
,
if
you
don't
marry
the
Princess
,
to
have
the
Kingdom
at
your
Disposal
?
and
that
being
so
,
where
's
my
Recompence
for
all
my
Bangs
and
Thumps
I
ha'
receiv'd
in
your
Service
?
Let
the
World
therefore
judge
,
whether
I
ha'
not
reason
to
complain
,
when
I
find
ye
thus
going
about
to
pop
me
off
with
what
the
Cat
left
in
the
Malt
.
Why
should
you
have
such
a
tender
Conscience
to
scruple
Marriage
with
the
Princess
?
You
may
do
that
,
and
send
for
your
beloved
Mopsa
when
y'
ha'
done
;
for
't
is
the
Fashion
now
a
days
to
keep
Misses
.
Here
's
a
Princess
sent
ye
,
as
it
were
,
from
Heav'n
,
and
you
won't
marry
her
,
with
a
Murrain
to
ye
!
As
for
which
is
the
most
beautiful
of
the
two
,
I
will
not
undertake
to
determine
;
your
Madam
Dulcinea
is
a
very
fair
Lady
,
't
is
true
,
tho
I
never
saw
her
i'
my
life
.
How
!
Off-spring
of
Satan
,
quo
D.
Quixote
,
never
saw
her
,
and
yet
brought'st
mean
Answer
from
her
but
just
now
!
I
mean
,
Sir
,
reply'd
Sancho
,
I
never
view'd
her
,
as
Paris
did
the
three
Goddesses
,
to
observe
her
Perfections
by
Retail
,
but
take
her
all
together
,
she
may
pass
for
a
Beauty
.
Well
,
I
pardon
thee
for
this
time
,
cry'd
Don
Quixote
;
and
do
thou
likewise
be
so
kind
as
to
pardon
the
Provocation
of
my
unruly
Passion
,
which
is
not
so
soon
quell'd
as
put
into
a
Ferment
.
I
know
it
very
well
,
reply'd
Sancho
,
and
therefore
you
ought
to
consider
,
that
the
talkative
Humour
which
provokes
me
to
speak
,
is
a
Motion
which
I
can
as
well
be
hang'd
as
resist
;
when
't
is
once
come
to
the
tip
of
my
Tongue
,
I
must
out
with
it
,
what
e're
it
be
.
However
,
cry'd
Don
Quixote
,
if
a
Snaffle
won't
do
it
,
put
a
Curb
upon
that
unruly
Member
,
and
have
a
care
what
ye
say
—
The
Pitcher
goes
often
to
the
Well
—
I
say
no
more
—
A
word
to
the
wise
is
sufficient
,
quo
Sancho
—
God
above
sees
all
things
,
and
he
is
able
to
judge
who
is
most
i'
the
right
,
I
that
never
speak
well
,
or
you
that
never
do
better
.
Enough
,
enough
,
quo
Mrs.
Dorothy
,
all
's
well
;
and
therefore
Sancho
go
and
prostrate
your self
at
the
Feet
of
your
Lord
and
Master
,
beg
his
Pardon
,
and
remember
for
the
time
to
come
to
manage
your
Tongue
with
more
Reserv'dness
;
more
especially
take
heed
how
you
talk
irreverently
of
that
Lady
of
Toboso
,
whose
Servant
I
would
be
glad
to
be
,
tho
I
never
saw
her
i'
my
life
,
because
I
find
this
valiant
Knight
has
such
a
Value
for
her
,
and
from
henceforward
trust
to
me
for
your
Recompence
.
With
that
,
Sancho
,
in
a
most
submissive
Posture
,
went
and
threw
himself
at
his
Master's
Stirrup
,
who
having
given
him
his
Benediction
with
a
majestick
Gravity
,
desir'd
the
Company
to
ride
on
alittle
before
,
for
that
he
had
some
Business
of
important
Privacy
with
his
Squire
.
So
that
when
he
found
'em
far
enough
off
hearing
,
Friend
Sancho
,
quo
he
,
I
have
had
no
leisure
since
thy
Return
to
ask
thee
any
Questions
concerning
thy
Message
,
and
what
Answer
thou
hadst
;
but
now
prethee
tell
me
the
Particulars
.
Sir
,
reply'd
Sancho
,
ask
me
what
Questions
you
please
,
I
'le
tell
ye
more
then
I
know
,
rather
then
less
;
only
I
beseech
ye
for
the
future
,
be
not
so
malicious
;
for
y'
are
so
hasty
grown
,
a
Dog
wou'd
not
live
wi'
ye
.
Sancho
,
reply'd
Don
Quixote
,
they
that
will
govern
,
must
learn
to
obey
;
and
they
that
think
to
beat
others
,
must
learn
to
be
beat'n
themselves
;
and
therefore
when
I
thrash
thy
Bones
at
any
time
,
't
is
all
for
thy
good
.
Ay
,
Sir
,
quo
Sancho
,
but
to
bear
malice
,
Malice
forethought
i'
your
mind
,
why
't
is
the
very
Stress
and
Plain-song
of
all
our
Endictments
.
How
dost
mean
Malice
,
quo
Don
Quixote
?
My
Reason
is
this
,
quo
Sancho
;
because
my
mind
gives
me
,
that
you
gave
me
these
two
last
pithy
Remembrances
upon
the
Noddle
,
for
the
Quarrel
that
Satan
rais'd
between
you
and
me
t'other
Night
,
and
not
for
any
thing
I
spoke
against
Madam
Primrose
,
the
Lady
Dulcinea
,
whom
I
wish
my
Whim-whams
in
a
cleft
Stick
,
if
I
do
not
admire
and
adore
,
beyond
any
Relique
of
the
holy
Cross
:
and
that
meerly
because
she
is
your
Mistress
.
Sancho
,
cry'd
Don
Quixote
,
once
for
all
,
let
us
leave
off
this
Discourse
,
it
grates
my
Ears
;
there
is
an
Act
of
Oblivion
past
to
this
very
moment
;
but
new
Offences
will
require
new
Punishment
.
While
they
were
thus
parlying
together
,
they
espy'd
making
toward
'em
,
a
certain
Person
mounted
upon
a
sober
Ass
,
whom
they
took
for
a
He-Gypsie
,
the
nearer
he
came
;
but
Sancho
,
who
since
the
loss
of
his
own
Beast
,
never
saw
an
Ass
,
but
his
Heart
was
ready
to
leap
out
of
his
Belly
,
had
no
sooner
fix'd
his
Eye
upon
the
Traveller
,
but
he
knew
him
to
be
the
Person
that
had
so
inhumanly
robb'd
him
of
his
Soul's
Delight
.
Now
this
Fellow
had
disguis'd
himself
in
the
Habit
of
a
Gypsie
,
and
spoke
their
Gibbrish
exactly
,
to
the
end
he
might
not
be
discover'd
,
nor
be
prevented
in
the
Sale
of
the
Ass
,
which
he
had
also
transmogrify'd
into
the
Shape
almost
of
another
Creature
.
But
Sancho
that
knew
his
Ass
again
by
the
very
Scent
of
a
Fizzle
,
which
he
let
just
i'
the
nick
of
time
,
cry'd
out
with
all
the
force
of
his
Lungs
,
Ho
,
Mr.
Thief
,
have
I
found
ye
?
Deliver
me
my
Goods
,
Rogue
,
deliver
the
Repose
of
my
Heart
,
and
comfort
of
my
Soul
;
Varlet
,
Villain
,
Hedgebird
,
restore
me
my
Ass
,
my
Ass
,
ye
Prancer-Prigger
,
my
sole
Delight
,
and
only
Joy
—
seize
him
,
Master
,
seize
him
,
here
's
my
Ass
,
and
here
's
the
Rogue
that
stole
him
;
seize
him
Master
,
seize
him
.
Upon
which
the
Fellow
,
seeing
himself
so
hard
beset
,
slipp'd
off
the
Ass
,
and
betook
himself
to
his
heels
,
as
nimbly
as
a
Coney
before
a
Lurcher
,
and
quickly
got
out
of
their
reach
,
because
no
body
took
the
Pains
to
pursue
him
.
For
Sancho
had
enough
to
do
to
rejoice
over
his
Ass
;
which
he
had
no
sooner
got
by
the
Bridle
,
but
with
a
paternal
Kindness
,
How
hast
done
all
this
while
,
my
Darling
,
my
Treasure
,
quo
he
!
Welcome
,
nay
more
welcome
to
thy
own
dear
Sancho
,
then
the
Nuptial
Night
to
two
enamour'd
Lovers
—
and
with
that
he
fell
a
kissing
,
and
hugging
,
and
embracing
his
Beast
,
as
if
't
had
been
his
only
Son
risen
again
from
the
Report
of
his
being
dead
i'
the
Indies
.
To
which
the
poor
dumb
Ass
had
not
a
word
to
say
,
not
so
much
as
in
his
own
Mother-Spanish
;
only
in
meer
Gratitude
,
he
thrust
out
his
Tongue
,
and
lick'd
off
the
Tears
that
fell
from
his
Master's
Eyes
for
Joy
that
he
had
re-gain'd
the
Beast
of
his
Affections
.
In
the
mean
time
,
the
Company
that
were
before
,
wond'ring
at
the
long
Halt
that
Don
Quixote
and
his
Squire
made
came
riding
back
again
,
and
understanding
what
was
the
matter
,
they
all
with
a
nemine
contradicente
,
gave
all
imaginable
Demonstrations
of
the
Joy
and
Satisfaction
for
Sancho's
good
Fortune
;
while
Don
Quixote
observing
the
good
Nature
of
his
Squire
,
re-confirm'd
the
Promise
he
had
made
him
of
three
Asses
for
one
.
This
was
that
which
pass'd
between
Don
Quixote
and
his
Squire
,
while
the
Curate
and
Mrs.
Dorothy
had
been
engag'd
in
Discourse
of
another
Nature
.
Well
,
Madam
,
quo
the
Curate
,
I
find
a
Man
may
venture
upon
your
Head
at
any
time
;
had
ye
study'd
twenty
Years
for
this
Story
,
you
could
never
ha'
brought
a
Fable
to
bear
with
more
Fancy
,
or
more
Conciseness
:
And
then
for
the
terms
of
Knight-Errantry
,
you
had
'em
as
exactly
as
a
Seaman
saies
his
Compass
.
Oh
,
Sir
!
reply'd
Mrs.
Dorothy
,
I
am
but
young
in
Years
,
't
is
true
,
but
an
old
Reader
of
Romances
:
I
have
por'd
upon
'em
anights
i'
my
Bed
,
till
I
have
drop'd
a'
Sleep
,
and
left
the
Candle
to
fire
the
House
,
had
not
my
Maid
come
in
by
chance
;
but
a
Duce
take
your
Maps
,
for
I
could
never
understand
'em
i'
my
life
,
which
made
me
commit
that
Mistake
about
Ossuna
.
That
was
nothing
,
Madam
,
quo
the
Curate
,
as
I
order'd
the
matter
:
You
see
how
I
reconcil'd
the
business
with
a
Jerk
.
But
Madam
,
what
think
ye
?
Do
you
not
wonder
at
this
Fobdoodle
of
a
Knight-Errant
,
that
swallows
so
easily
these
Gudgeons
of
Tales
and
idle
Stories
,
meerly
because
they
have
a
Smack
of
these
Extravagancies
,
which
he
had
read
in
his
Amadis
de
Gaul's
,
and
Round-table
Champions
?
And
yet
discourse
him
upon
any
other
Subject
,
and
he
's
a
man
will
talk
ye
as
rationally
as
a
Philosopher
,
as
sober
as
a
Judge
,
and
as
learnedly
as
an
University
Scholar
.
So
that
you
would
take
him
for
a
Man
of
Sence
and
Judgment
,
till
ye
come
once
to
prick
him
i'
the
Vein
of
Knight-Errantry
;
but
then
he
flies
out
,
and
falls
a
raving
,
as
if
he
had
a
whole
Midsummer-Moon
in
his
Brains
.
While
the
Curate
and
Mrs.
Dorothy
were
thus
engag'd
,
Don
Quixote
entring
into
a
new
Confabulation
with
his
Squire
;
Honest
Sancho
,
quo
he
,
gi'
me
thy
fist
;
and
let
us
with
a
Christian
forgiveness
lay
aside
all
manner
of
Malice
and
Animosity
,
as
things
altogether
unbeseeming
Persons
of
our
Profession
,
and
tell
me
by
way
of
Catechize
,
when
,
where
,
and
how
thou
found'st
the
Peerless
Dulcinea
?
What
she
was
doing
?
What
she
said
?
What
she
answer'd
?
How
she
look'd
when
she
read
the
Letter
?
Who
transcrib'd
it
for
thee
?
And
whatever
else
thou
canst
call
to
mind
that
is
fit
to
be
known
and
remember'd
,
or
proper
to
be
ask'd
and
answer'd
;
for
to
know
these
things
gradually
,
punctually
,
in
order
,
and
exactly
,
is
that
upon
which
depends
the
whole
repose
and
quiet
of
my
Life
:
And
this
without
any
additions
,
any
daubing
,
sleeking
,
palliating
,
or
mincing
the
matter
,
thinking
to
flatter
and
tickle
my
Ear
.
On
the
other
side
,
be
not
too
concise
neither
,
to
the
end
I
may
not
lose
the
smallest
Mustard
seed
of
my
Soulcharming
Pleasure
.
Sir
,
quo
Sancho
,
if
it
be
so
absolutely
necessary
for
me
to
speak
Truth
,
I
must
tell
ye
,
that
no
body
Transcrib'd
the
Letter
for
me
,
because
I
never
carry'd
any
.
't
is
very
right
,
quo
Don
Quixote
—
for
two
days
after
thou
wert
gone
,
I
found
the
Table-Book
wherein
I
had
written
my
Epistle
;
which
put
me
into
such
a
Passion
,
that
I
could
not
forbear
lending
thee
half
a
score
round
Curses
for
thy
carelesness
;
and
every
moment
I
expected
when
thou
would'st
have
come
back
to
ha'
receiv'd
three
or
four
Bastinado's
,
to
ha'
refresh'd
thy
Memory
.
Sir
,
quo
Sancho
,
there
was
no
need
of
that
;
for
I
had
heard
your
Letter
read
so
often
,
that
I
could
say
it
by
heart
,
more
exactly
then
my
Creed
.
Meeting
therefore
with
the
Clerk
of
the
next
Parish
,
I
rehears'd
it
to
him
so
exactly
word
for
word
,
that
when
he
had
copy'd
it
out
,
he
swore
that
he
never
read
such
a
compleat
,
matchless
Piece
of
Wit
in
his
Life
,
tho
he
had
read
all
Howel's
,
Loveday's
,
and
Balzac's
Octavo's
,
and
had
been
a
great
Student
in
the
Mysteries
of
Love
and
Eloquence
.
And
do'st
remember
it
still
,
quo
Don
Quixote
?
No
,
Sir
,
reply'd
Sancho
;
for
when
I
saw
it
once
secur'd
in
a
whole
sheet
of
Paper
,
I
thought
it
to
no
purpose
to
burd'n
my
Memory
with
it
any
longer
.
Only
at
the
beginning
there
was
Over-grown
,
I
wou'd
say
Soveraign
Lady
;
and
at
the
end
,
Yours
till
Death
,
The
Knight
of
the
Ill-favour'd
Countenance
:
And
between
those
two
i'
the
middle
,
about
three
hundred
repetitions
of
Soul
,
Life
,
Dearest
,
Pigs'ny
,
and
Joy
.
CHAP.
IV
.
Containing
the
Pleasant
Discourse
between
Don
Quixote
and
his
Squire
;
with
other
Remarkable
Passages
.
THUS
far
,
quo
Don
Quixote
,
all
's
very
well
—
But
when
thou
wer
't
admitted
into
her
Presence
,
how
was
that
Queen
of
Beauty
employ'd
?
Was
she
not
threading
of
Pearl
,
or
working
some
Rich
Point
of
Venice
Cravat
for
the
Knight
her
Vassal
?
No
such
thing
,
I
assure
ye
,
Sir
,
quo
Sancho
;
for
she
was
winnowing
two
Bushels
of
Wheat
over
a
course
Sheet
i'
the
Yard
.
But
then
,
quo
Don
Quixote
,
didst
not
thou
at
the
same
time
perceive
,
that
every
grain
of
the
Corn
was
turn'd
into
so
many
Pearls
,
by
the
touch
of
her
fair
Hands
?
Prithee
,
what
sort
of
Wheat
was
it
?
Was
it
pure
Wheat
,
or
Maslin
?
Neither
,
Sir
,
quo
Sancho
;
but
only
a
mixture
of
Barley
and
Oats
.
That
's
nothing
,
reply'd
Don
Quixote
;
for
being
sifted
by
her
Hands
,
most
certainly
it
made
Bread
as
white
as
ever
any
Kingston
Manchet
.
But
let
us
proceed
—
When
thou
gav'st
her
the
Letter
,
did
she
not
kiss
it
?
Did
she
not
clap
it
to
her
Breast
?
Did
she
not
use
some
extraordinary
Ceremony
becoming
the
Honour
due
to
such
a
Letter
?
In
short
,
what
was
't
she
did
?
The
Sieve
was
full
of
Corn
,
Sir
,
reply'd
Sancho
,
when
I
presented
her
the
Letter
;
and
as
she
was
rumbling
the
Sieve
like
a
Sinder-woman
upon
her
knees
,
Friend
,
quo
she
,
lay
your
Letter
upon
that
empty
Sack
there
,
for
I
shall
not
have
leisure
to
read
it
,
till
I
have
sifted
all
this
Corn
.
Observe
in
that
her
wonderful
Discretion
,
cry'd
Don
Quixote
;
for
that
was
an
excuse
on
purpose
,
because
she
would
read
the
Letter
in
private
,
where
no
body
should
be
witness
of
her
transports
upon
the
receipt
of
it
.
But
while
she
was
thus
busie
at
her
Work
,
what
was
the
Discourse
that
pass'd
between
ye
?
Did
she
not
enquire
how
I
did
,
and
what
I
did
?
And
what
did'st
thou
answer
her
?
Answer
me
punctually
,
and
satisfie
my
Impatience
,
without
filching
from
me
the
least
tittle
of
the
Truth
.
So
far
was
she
from
asking
any
Questions
concerning
ye
,
that
she
did
not
seem
to
me
so
much
as
to
think
of
ye
—
Only
I
of
my
own
Head
indeed
told
her
a
long
story
,
how
I
had
left
ye
i'
the
Mountain
,
doing
Penance
for
her
sake
,
naked
from
the
wast
downward
,
like
a
true
Satyr
;
sleeping
upon
the
Ground
,
eating
without
Napkin
or
Table
Cloth
;
never
combing
your
Beard
,
but
blubbering
and
whining
like
a
great
Cow-baby
,
and
cursing
your
hard
Fate
.
Thou
didst
not
do
so
well
in
that
,
reply'd
Don
Quixote
,
to
say
,
that
I
curs'd
my
cruel
Fortune
:
For
I
always
did
,
and
ever
will
adore
my
happy
Stars
,
that
render'd
me
worthy
to
pretend
to
love
so
High
a
Lady
,
as
Dulcinea
del
Toboso
.
You
may
well
call
her
high
,
quo
Sancho
;
for
may
I
never
see
my
Old
Joan
again
,
if
I
don't
believe
her
within
two
Cubits
as
tall
as
the
May-Pole
i'
the
Strand
.
How
,
Sancho
,
cry'd
Don
Quixote
,
what
,
didst
ever
measure
with
her
,
that
thou
talk'st
at
this
rate
?
Yes
,
quo
Sancho
,
I
measur'd
with
her
in
helping
her
up
with
a
Sack
of
Corn
upon
her
Ass
;
and
I
found
as
we
stood
together
,
that
my
Head
did
not
reach
up
to
the
small
of
her
back
.
But
didst
not
thou
perceive
withal
,
that
these
goodly
Dimensions
of
hers
were
accompany'd
with
all
the
Graces
and
Perfections
,
as
well
of
Wit
as
Beauty
?
At
least
,
Sancho
,
thou
wilt
not
deny
me
this
.
When
thou
drew'st
so
near
to
her
Body
,
were
not
thy
Nostrils
ravish'd
with
the
fragrant
Odours
that
breath'd
from
her
Skin
?
Wer
't
thou
not
sensible
of
that
delightful
mixture
,
compos'd
of
all
the
Arabia's
rich
Perfumes
?
A
certain
,
I
know
not
well
what
to
call
it
,
Steam
,
or
Vapour
,
or
Exhalation
,
more
sweet-scented
then
Cupid's
Bed
of
Roses
,
or
the
variety
of
a
Perfumer's
Shop
?
Why
truly
,
Sir
,
quo
Sancho
,
tho
my
Life
lay
upon
't
,
I
cannot
swear
one
tittle
of
all
this
.
't
is
true
indeed
,
I
did
smell
a
kind
of
a
sowre
,
strong
,
rammish
Hogo
,
something
like
that
of
a
Water-man
that
has
newly
Landed
his
Fare
,
which
I
suppose
was
occasion'd
by
her
working
so
hard
;
for
she
was
all
of
a
muck-sweat
,
in
her
Smocksleeves
,
with
her
Breasts
swagging
over
her
Bodice
half-lac'd
,
so
that
she
reak'd
like
a
Horse-Pond
in
a
frosty
Morning
.
This
could
never
be
,
reply'd
Don
Quixote
;
and
therefore
thy
Nose
was
either
stopp'd
with
the
Murr
,
or
else
the
whiffs
from
thy
own
Collar
deceiv'd
thee
.
For
I
am
as
sure
as
I
have
a
Nose
o'
my
face
,
that
no
Rose
among
Thorns
,
no
Lilly
of
the
Field
,
no
Spirit
of
Amber-Greece
smells
half
so
sweet
as
she
.
I
can
say
nothing
to
that
,
quo
Sancho
;
but
this
I
can
safely
swear
,
that
the
smell
which
I
smelt
,
was
as
like
the
rank
smell
o'
my
own
flesh
after
hard
Thrashing
,
as
ever
I
smelt
i'
my
Life
.
And
if
her
Ladyship
,
Madam
Dulcinea
,
had
then
such
a
smell
,
where
lies
the
wonder
?
Since
one
Devil
may
be
like
another
.
Very
good
,
quo
Don
Quixote
:
Thus
then
you
say
she
cleans'd
her
Wheat
,
and
sent
it
to
the
Mill
—
But
what
did
she
do
when
she
read
my
Letter
?
Your
Letter
!
reply'd
Sancho
;
why
,
she
did
not
read
it
at
all
;
for
she
said
,
she
could
neither
write
nor
read
—
On
the
other
side
,
she
took
it
,
and
tore
it
into
a
thousand
bits
,
saying
,
that
no
body
should
read
her
Secrets
;
and
that
she
was
very
well
satisfy'd
with
what
I
had
told
her
by
word
of
mouth
,
concerning
the
Affection
which
you
bare
her
,
and
the
Penance
which
you
had
undertaken
for
her
sake
.
Finally
,
and
lastly
,
she
bid
me
tell
ye
,
that
she
remember'd
her
Service
to
your
Worship
;
and
that
she
had
a
greater
desire
to
see
ye
,
then
write
to
ye
.
And
therefore
in
all
Humility
she
commanded
ye
forthwith
to
leave
these
cursed
Mountains
,
and
give
over
your
Megrims
and
Fooleries
:
For
that
having
a
great
desire
to
see
your
sweet
face
,
there
could
be
nothing
so
acceptable
to
her
as
your
Return
to
Toboso
.
Moreover
,
when
I
told
her
you
were
call'd
The
Knight
of
the
Ill
favour'd
Countenance
,
she
fell
a
laughing
so
wide
,
that
you
might
ha'
told
all
the
Teeth
in
her
Head
.
I
ask'd
her
,
whether
the
Biscayner
had
been
with
her
?
And
she
said
,
Yes
—
and
that
he
ask'd
her
a
private
Kindness
,
which
she
could
not
deny
him
,
because
he
came
with
such
a
particular
Token
from
your self
.
Then
I
told
her
of
the
Galley-Slaves
;
but
she
said
,
she
had
seen
none
of
'
em
.
All
's
as
it
should
be
,
hitherto
,
cry'd
Don
Quixote
:
But
tell
me
,
Sancho
,
when
thou
took'st
thy
leave
of
her
,
what
Present
did
she
give
thee
,
for
the
good
News
which
thou
brought'st
her
?
For
't
is
an
Ancient
and
inviolable
Custom
among
Knights-Errant
and
their
Ladies
,
to
bestow
some
Rich
Jewel
or
other
upon
the
Squires
,
Damsels
,
or
Dwarfs
that
bring
'em
any
good
News
,
as
a
Reward
of
their
Tidings
.
That
might
be
the
Custom
,
reply'd
Sancho
,
in
former
times
,
and
I
approve
it
as
a
generous
and
laudable
Custom
—
But
I
fear
me
't
is
now
left
off
,
like
House-keeping
in
the
Country
—
At
least
Madam
Dulcinea
was
in
one
of
her
niggardly
Humours
at
that
time
;
for
all
that
she
gave
me
for
my
Tidings
,
was
only
a
piece
of
Bread
and
Cheese
,
by
the
same
token
,
the
Cheese
was
mouldy
,
and
made
a'
Sheeps
Milk
;
but
Love
and
Hunger
will
break
through
Stone-walls
.
Give
me
leave
to
tell
thee
,
Sancho
,
she
's
as
Munificent
,
and
as
Liberal
as
ere
a
Princess
i'
the
World
;
and
if
she
did
not
gi'
thee
a
Diamond
of
fifteen
Carats
at
least
,
't
was
because
she
had
it
not
about
her
.
But
all
is
not
lost
,
that
is
delay'd
,
and
a
good
pair
of
Sleeves
may
be
worn
after
Easter
.
I
shall
see
her
,
and
then
I
'le
speak
to
her
to
gi'
thee
content
.
But
,
Sancho
,
this
is
that
which
most
amazes
me
—
for
't
is
impossible
but
that
thou
must
ha'
flown
backward
and
forward
through
the
Air
:
't
is
thirty
good
Leagues
I
am
sure
from
hence
to
Toboso
;
and
how
the
Devil
thou
should'st
go
and
come
in
three
days
,
surpasses
my
Understanding
.
I
am
therefore
apt
to
believe
,
that
the
kind
Necromancer
,
who
takes
care
of
all
my
Business
,
and
whose
Duty
it
is
to
see
that
I
do
not
want
the
least
Perquisit
to
a
Knight
Errant
,
assisted
thee
to
make
hast
in
thy
Journey
,
tho
thou
,
perhaps
,
might'st
not
be
sensible
of
it
in
the
least
.
For
there
are
some
of
these
Necromancers
,
that
will
take
ye
a
Knight-Errant
fast
asleep
out
of
his
Bed
,
and
whirl
him
through
the
Air
with
that
Expedition
,
that
he
shall
find
himself
when
he
wakes
three
thousand
Leagues
off
from
the
place
where
he
lay
before
.
Else
it
were
impossible
that
Knight-Errants
could
subsist
,
or
that
they
could
at
all
turns
relieve
one
another
as
they
do
.
For
it
may
so
happen
,
that
a
Knight
may
be
in
the
Mountains
of
Armenia
,
fighting
with
some
Raw-Head
and
Bloody-Bones
,
some
Faune
,
or
some
Satyr
,
or
some
other
strange
Monster
;
or
suppose
it
were
only
with
some
other
Knight
,
that
bears
up
with
him
to
the
Bar
o'
Chester
,
and
gives
him
thwick
for
thwack
,
cut
for
slash
;
insomuch
,
that
he
could
wish
himself
fairly
rid
of
him
:
Now
then
don't
you
think
it
a
great
Consolation
,
for
a
Knight
in
such
distress
,
to
see
another
Knight
come
unlook'd
for
in
a
Cloud
,
or
a
Fiery
Chariot
;
one
that
he
knows
to
be
his
Friend
,
and
who
,
he
was
certain
,
was
not
above
half
a
score
hours
before
i'
the
West
Indies
?
Thereupon
this
Knight
kills
the
Monster
,
or
the
Knight
,
and
relieves
his
Friend
;
and
no
sooner
has
he
dispatch'd
his
bus'ness
,
but
he
is
hurry'd
away
with
the
same
speed
in
one
of
the
Devil's
Sedans
back
again
to
his
Lodgings
,
where
he
goes
to
bed
again
to
his
Mistress
,
and
makes
an
end
of
his
Work
.
And
all
this
is
done
by
the
Industry
of
those
Necromancers
,
whose
Duty
it
is
to
take
care
of
Knight-Errants
,
to
whom
they
are
no
less
dear
,
then
if
they
were
their
Adopted
Sons
.
And
this
it
is
which
makes
me
believe
,
that
thou
wer
't
Devil
driven
through
the
Air
by
some
Necromancer
,
that
knew
my
impatience
,
and
the
importance
of
thy
Return
.
I
am
the
Son
of
a
Gold-finder
,
reply'd
Sancho
,
if
I
don't
believe
it
to
be
true
what
you
say
,
Sir
;
for
Rosinante
flew
me-thought
,
as
if
he
had
Quick-silver
in
his
Ears
.
Not
only
Quick-silver
in
his
Ears
,
quo
Don
Quixote
,
but
a
Legion
of
Devils
at
his
Tail
;
which
are
a
sort
of
Stygian
Wine-Porters
,
which
will
take
a
Knight-Errant
,
or
his
Squire
,
and
run
a
way
with
him
Horse
and
all
,
with
that
swiftness
,
that
a
Kite
flies
away
with
a
young
Chicken
.
But
to
come
again
to
the
main
business
:
What
dost
thou
think
,
Sancho
,
it
best
behoves
me
to
do
,
about
this
Injunction
that
Madam
Dulcinea
has
laid
upon
me
,
to
make
my
Personal
Appearance
before
her
?
For
tho
I
am
bound
to
punctual
Obedience
,
and
that
my
Bowels
yern
to
see
her
;
yet
am
I
so
entangl'd
with
this
Princess
,
while
the
Laws
of
Chivalry
bind
me
so
fast
to
my
word
,
and
so
deeply
engage
me
to
prefer
my
Honour
before
my
Pleasures
,
that
I
know
not
which
way
to
dis-encumber
my self
.
On
the
one
side
,
the
eager
desire
I
have
to
see
the
Peerless
Dulcinea
,
worries
and
torments
me
:
On
the
other
side
,
my
Honour
and
my
Promise
call
me
to
great
Atchievements
.
But
hold
—
I
think
I
ha'
found
a
way
to
satisfie
Honour
,
Promise
,
Princess
,
and
Mistress
,
and
All.
First
,
Sancho
,
I
'le
go
immediately
and
find
out
the
Giant
;
when
I
come
there
,
I
'le
cut
off
his
Head
with
a
Jerk
,
restore
the
Princess
to
her
Throne
,
and
put
her
in
peaceable
and
quiet
Possession
of
her
Dominions
.
Which
being
done
,
before
a
Cat
can
lick
her
Ear
,
away
will
I
presently
come
Post
,
and
visit
the
Bright
Star
that
illuminates
my
Pericranium
;
to
whom
I
will
make
those
just
and
rational
Excuses
,
that
she
being
all
Kindness
and
good
Nature
,
shall
be
willing
to
pardon
my
unavoidable
Absence
;
well
knowing
,
that
all
my
Actions
must
redound
to
her
Honour
,
and
to
the
increase
of
her
Fame
;
since
all
the
Renown
which
I
have
won
,
or
daily
win
,
or
shall
hereafter
acquire
,
are
only
the
effects
of
her
Favour
influencing
and
actuating
the
Courage
of
her
Vassal
.
Hoy
day
,
quo
Sancho
,
will
ye
ne're
ha'
more
Wit
then
a
Man
may
truss
up
in
an
Egg-shell
?
Why
,
d'
ye
intend
then
to
Travel
so
many
thousand
York-shire
Miles
and
Way-bits
for
nothing
?
And
lose
the
Opportunity
of
a
Marriage
,
that
brings
ye
to
a
Kingdom
;
a
Kingdom
,
that
,
they
say
,
is
Twenty
Thousand
Leagues
in
Circuit
?
A
Kingdom
where
all
the
Springs
are
full
of
boyl'd
Plumb-Puddings
and
Cabbages
,
and
Surloyns
of
Roast-Beef
hang
roasting
i'
the
Sun
upon
every
Tree
?
A
Kingdom
bigger
then
France
,
together
with
the
Kings
new
Conquests
,
and
all
their
Dependencies
?
Are
ye
not
asham'd
to
shew
your self
so
void
of
Understanding
?
Go
to
,
therefore
,
and
take
a
Fool's
Counsel
for
once
;
Marry
the
Princess
the
first
thing
ye
do
—
Hang
Licenses
,
Marry
her
,
I
say
,
at
the
next
Church
ye
come
at
,
where
ye
can
find
a
Curate
;
or
else
let
our
own
Doctor
knit
the
knot
under
the
next
Oak
.
—
There
's
nothing
like
Wiving
and
Thriving
both
in
a
Year
—
You
see
,
Sir
,
I
understand
Trap
;
and
I
'le
say
this
for
my self
to
boot
,
That
I
think
I
am
old
enough
to
give
Counsel
.
And
therefore
give
me
leave
to
tell
ye
,
A
Bird
i'
the
Hand
's
worth
two
i'
the
Bush
.
Let
's
but
once
catch
the
Eel
,
and
theh
we
may
consider
at
leisure
how
to
dress
it
.
Sancho
,
reply'd
Don
Quixote
,
I
am
not
ignorant
that
thy
Advice
depends
very
much
upon
Self
interest
;
I
know
the
reason
why
thou
art
so
earnest
for
me
to
Marry
,
is
meerly
that
I
should
make
hast
to
Imperial
Soveraignty
,
on
purpose
to
make
thee
a
Prince
—
And
these
are
the
fears
that
spur
thee
on
to
talk
one
word
for
me
,
and
two
for
thy self
.
But
know
,
Sancho
,
thou
complain'st
before
th'
art
hurt
;
for
I
intend
to
put
it
into
my
Conditions
,
before
I
go
to
fight
the
Giant
,
That
if
in
case
I
kill
the
Giant
,
I
will
have
half
the
Kingdom
at
my
disposal
,
to
give
to
whom
I
please
.
Which
being
granted
(
as
I
vow
,
before
that
be
under
Hand
and
Seal
,
I
'le
see
the
Giant
hang'd
before
I
'le
kill
him
)
to
whom
dost
thou
think
I
'le
bequeath
that
part
of
the
Kingdom
,
but
to
thy self
?
If
so
,
Sir
,
quo
Sancho
,
I
beseech
ye
,
choose
that
part
of
the
Kingdom
which
lies
next
the
Sea
;
where
the
Merchants
may
have
free
liberty
to
come
and
Trade
for
my
Slaves
,
and
I
may
have
the
Advantage
to
Ship
off
my
Money
,
if
my
Government
should
be
mislik'd
.
So
then
,
as
you
have
contriv'd
it
very
well
,
never
trouble
your self
about
visiting
Madam
Dulcinea
,
but
go
first
and
knock
the
Giant
o'
the
Head
,
for
I
fancy
't
will
be
an
Adventure
of
great
Honour
and
Profit
.
By
the
Mass
,
Sancho
,
quo
Don
Quixote
,
and
I
think
so
too
;
and
therefore
I
'le
follow
thy
Advice
:
For
I
believe
't
will
be
much
better
to
visit
Dulcinea
afterwards
,
laden
with
Honour
,
when
I
have
murder'd
the
Giant
,
and
restor'd
the
Princess
to
her
Territories
.
Let
it
be
thy
care
then
to
keep
silence
,
and
not
to
disclose
the
least
tittle
of
what
Discourse
has
past
between
us
,
to
any
Person
living
,
not
so
much
as
to
those
of
our
Company
;
for
Dulcinea
is
so
reserv'd
of
her self
,
that
she
does
not
desire
any
body
should
know
her
Private
Concerns
;
besides
,
that
the
disgrace
would
be
mine
,
to
keep
any
such
blabs
o'
their
Tongues
about
my
Person
.
You
forget
your self
,
cry'd
Sancho
;
for
how
can
that
be
,
when
you
your self
send
all
your
vanquish'd
wretches
to
Madam
Dulcinea
?
Can
you
call
that
keeping
her
Secrets
,
to
send
a
company
of
Slaves
with
their
Chains
rattling
i'
the
Streets
,
to
throw
themselves
at
her
feet
,
for
her
to
dispose
of
at
her
pleasure
?
What
an
ignorant
Whelp
and
Bacon
art
thou
,
quo
Don
Quixote
,
not
to
perceive
that
this
redounds
all
to
her
Honour
!
Besides
,
art
thou
so
ill
vers'd
in
matters
of
Chivalry
,
as
now
to
be
to
learn
,
that
it
is
a
great
Advantage
for
a
Lady
to
have
several
Knights-Errant
for
her
Gallants
;
who
expect
no
other
Recompence
of
all
their
Services
,
but
the
Honour
of
performing
'em
for
her
sake
,
and
the
favour
of
her
Acceptance
?
Tittle
Tattle
,
gi'
the
Goose
more
Hay
,
quo
Sancho
:
This
is
just
as
I
have
heard
'em
Preach
,
that
we
ought
to
love
God
for
his
own
sake
;
and
yet
at
the
same
time
they
tell
us
of
the
invitations
of
Paradice
,
and
the
torments
of
Hell
;
tho
for
my
part
,
I
think
we
ought
to
love
God
,
what
ever
comes
on
't
,
as
they
said
at
first
.
The
Devil
take
thee
for
a
Clown
,
Sancho
,
cry'd
Don
Quixote
;
and
yet
who
the
Devil
wou'd
take
thee
for
a
Clown
?
For
sometimes
thou
talk'st
as
rationally
and
discreetly
,
as
if
thou
hadst
Commenc'd
Doctor
at
Salamanca
.
So
far
from
that
,
quo
Sancho
,
that
I
never
read
my
Horn-book
;
but
I
have
a
good
mind
to
learn
one
of
these
days
,
when
I'
m
at
leisure
.
For
I
am
apt
to
believe
it
can
be
no
prejudice
to
me
;
besides
,
they
say
,
there
are
some
Men
that
take
upon
'em
to
be
Doctors
,
who
,
God
knows
,
have
hardly
Learning
enough
to
read
their
Neck-Verse
.
While
the
Knight
and
the
Squire
were
thus
busie
in
Discourse
,
the
Barber
cry'd
out
to
'em
to
make
a
Halt
,
for
that
the
Princess
desir'd
to
alight
and
drink
out
of
a
Fountain
close
by
the
Road
.
This
was
a
great
Kindness
to
Sancho
,
who
was
quite
tir'd
with
Lying
,
and
afraid
his
Master
should
catch
him
failing
in
his
Memory
.
For
tho
he
knew
that
Dulcinea
was
no
better
then
only
plain
Gaffer
Hogg's
Daughter
,
yet
he
had
never
seen
her
in
his
life
.
On
the
other
side
,
Cardenio
by
this
time
had
slipp'd
himself
into
Mrs.
Dorothy's
Masculine
Habits
,
which
she
had
on
,
when
they
first
met
with
her
;
which
,
tho
they
were
none
of
the
best
,
yet
were
they
much
better
then
his
own
tatter'd
Rags
.
Thereupon
they
all
alighted
,
and
sitting
down
by
the
Fountain
,
fell
a
banqueting
upon
the
short
Commons
which
the
Curate
had
brought
from
the
Inn.
While
they
were
thus
busie
at
their
Repast
,
feeding
like
Farmers
of
Maxfield
,
upon
what
they
had
,
there
happen'd
to
come
up
ev'n
with
'em
as
they
sate
,
a
dapper
young
Lad
,
who
,
after
he
had
gaz'd
awhile
with
a
wistful
Eye
upon
the
Company
,
approaching
Don
Quixote
,
and
embracing
his
Thighs
;
God
bless
your
Worship
,
quo
he
,
has
your
Worship
forgot
me
so
soon
?
Don't
you
know
your
Slave
,
and
poor
Andrew
,
that
you
found
fast
bound
to
an
Oak
?
But
I
thank
your
good
Worship
,
you
set
me
free
with
a
Vengeance
—
At
those
words
,
Don
Quixote
immediately
call'd
him
to
mind
,
took
him
by
the
Hand
,
and
then
addressing
himself
to
the
Company
,
Most
illustrious
Princess
,
and
you
Right
Worthy
Gentlemen
,
said
he
,
you
have
here
before
ye
an
uncontroulable
Demonstration
of
the
vast
Benefit
,
and
absolute
Necessity
of
Knight-Errants
,
both
to
reform
and
punish
the
Abuses
and
Disorders
committed
in
the
World
.
It
is
now
some
Weeks
ago
,
that
as
I
was
riding
by
a
Wood
,
the
Cries
and
bitter
Complaints
of
some
body
in
distress
,
pierc'd
my
compassionate
Ears
:
Presently
I
gallop'd
toward
the
Place
where
the
Noise
directed
me
,
to
gratifie
my
natural
Inclination
,
and
the
Duty
of
my
Profession
;
and
there
I
found
this
poor
young
Lad
,
in
a
most
miserable
,
distressed
Condition
;
and
I
profess
,
I'
m
heartily
glad
he
's
here
to
testifie
the
truth
of
what
I
say
.
For
tho
a
Knight-Errant
,
I
'le
as
patiently
suffer
him
to
give
me
the
Lye
,
as
I
wou'd
my
Father
,
if
he
find
me
in
a
Rodomantado
.
I
say
then
,
this
Boy
in
that
Wood
was
ty'd
to
an
Oak
,
naked
from
the
Waste
upward
,
like
a
Wench
upon
a
Whipping-day
at
Bridewel
;
and
there
was
a
lusty
Brawny-arm'd
Countrey-Fellow
,
scoring
several
pretended
Debts
of
Thievery
and
Negligence
upon
the
Boy's
Back
and
Shoulders
with
a
pair
of
Stirrup-leathers
,
so
deep
,
that
you
might
ha'
bury'd
the
Handle
of
a
Butcher's
Sticking-knife
in
every
one
of
the
bloody
Furrows
.
I
ask'd
the
Fellow
,
What
a'
meant
by
so
much
Cruelty
?
Who
answer'd
me
,
That
the
Boy
was
his
Servant
,
and
that
he
chastiz'd
him
for
the
Rogueries
,
and
the
Thieveries
which
he
had
committed
.
To
which
the
Boy
reply'd
,
blubbering
and
bleeding
,
that
his
Master
lash'd
him
so
severely
only
for
demanding
his
Wages
.
Whereupon
the
Master
would
ha'
pleaded
some
idle
Excuses
that
gave
me
no
Satisfaction
at
all
.
In
a
word
,
I
caus'd
the
young
Lad
to
be
unbound
,
and
made
the
Country-Fellow
swear
by
all
the
Saints
I
could
think
of
,
that
he
would
take
the
Boy
home
,
and
pay
him
all
his
Wages
,
to
the
very
Copper-spot
in
a
Tin-Farding
.
Is
not
this
true
,
Friend
Andrew
?
Dost
not
thou
remember
how
I
ranted
,
and
swagger'd
,
and
hector'd
the
Country-Fellow
?
And
with
what
Submission
he
promis'd
to
accomplish
whatever
I
impos'd
,
ordain'd
,
demanded
and
commanded
?
Speak
truth
,
and
shame
the
Devil
,
tell
how
it
was
boldly
,
without
Humming
and
Hawing
,
without
Flattery
or
Dissimulation
,
but
relate
the
Story
without
Welt
or
Guard
,
that
these
People
,
who
are
all
Persons
of
Quality
,
may
understand
the
want
of
Knight-Errantry
in
this
unjust
World
.
Tom-tell-troth
himself
,
quo
Andrew
,
could
never
ha'
spok'n
more
Truth
then
your
Worship
has
done
.
But
notwithstanding
all
your
Worship's
good
Intentions
,
the
Success
of
this
Affair
did
not
answer
your
Worship's
Expectations
.
How
,
quo
Don
Quixote
!
not
answer
my
Expectations
!
why
,
did
not
the
Hang-dog
pay
thee
thy
Money
the
next
Minute
?
So
far
from
paying
me
my
Money
,
quo
Andrew
,
that
as
soon
as
he
found
you
were
out
o'
sight
,
and
out
o'
hearing
,
he
ty'd
me
again
to
the
Oak
,
and
ply'd
his
first
Lesson
again
so
smartly
over
my
raw
Flesh
,
that
you
would
have
taken
me
for
a
flea'd
Cat
.
And
which
was
more
,
between
every
Stroke
he
struck
,
he
had
some
bumkinly
Quibble
or
other
,
in
Derision
of
your
Worship
,
calling
ye
Hatchet
and
Gridiron-face
,
Lobster
unboil'd
,
Appurtenance
to
a
Tinder-box
,
Hog
in
Armour
,
&c.
that
had
I
not
been
in
that
woful
Plight
,
I
could
have
laugh'd
my self
to
have
heard
him
.
In
short
,
he
so
anatomis'd
my
Back
with
his
Leathern
Thongs
,
that
I
have
been
ever
since
i'
the
lame
Hospital
,
where
I
became
the
Trophy
of
Art.
And
now
to
speak
my
mind
frankly
,
Sir
Knight
,
I
may
thank
you
for
all
this
—
For
had
you
rode
on
about
your
own
Affairs
,
without
playing
the
busie
Fool
,
where
ye
had
nothing
to
do
,
I
had
been
releas'd
with
a
matter
o'
twenty
Lashes
,
and
my
Master
had
paid
me
what
he
ow'd
me
—
But
you
call'd
him
so
many
Rogues
,
Villains
,
and
Traitors
,
and
ranted
and
roar'd
so
little
to
the
purpose
,
and
put
him
into
such
a
Fury
,
that
not
being
able
to
reak
his
Malice
upon
you
,
he
took
his
Revenge
upon
my
poor
Shoulders
.
The
Mischief
was
,
quo
Don
Quixote
,
that
I
went
away
a
little
too
soon
,
I
should
have
staid
indeed
till
I
had
seen
thee
satisfy'd
;
for
those
kind
of
Country-Bumkins
are
not
apt
to
keep
their
Words
,
unless
it
be
for
their
Profit
.
However
,
thou
mayst
well
remember
,
that
I
swore
by
all
the
Heathen
Gods
,
that
if
he
did
not
pay
thee
,
I
would
return
and
find
him
out
again
,
tho
he
were
hid
within
the
Bowels
of
the
Earth
.
You
did
so
,
't
is
very
true
,
Sir
Knight
,
reply'd
Andrew
,
but
what
does
that
signifie
now
to
me
?
Thou
shalt
see
whether
it
signifie
any
thing
or
no
,
quo
Don
Quixote
;
and
so
said
,
he
rose
up
in
great
Fury
,
and
commanded
Sancho
to
bridle
Rosinante
,
who
was
at
his
Dinner
,
thinking
no
harm
,
within
a
Stone's
throw
o'
the
Company
.
Upon
that
,
Mrs.
Dorothy
ask'd
him
,
What
he
intended
to
do
?
Do
,
quo
he
!
be
gone
immediately
to
chastize
this
Brute
of
a
Clown
—
and
make
him
pay
to
the
utmost
Farthing
what
he
owes
this
poor
Lad
,
in
despite
of
all
the
Bumkins
and
Scithe-men
i'
the
World
that
dare
oppose
me
.
But
,
Sir
Knight
,
quo
Mrs.
Dorothy
,
considering
the
Promise
you
have
made
me
,
you
cannot
in
Honour
undertake
an
other
Adventure
till
you
have
accomplish'd
mine
;
and
therefore
I
beseech
ye
,
delay
this
less
important
Revenge
,
till
you
ha'
restor'd
me
to
my
Kingdom
.
That
's
but
Justice
indeed
,
reply'd
Don
Quixote
,
and
therefore
of
necessity
,
Andrew
must
be
patient
,
till
I
return
again
.
But
by
the
lovely
Dulcinea's
Chastity
,
I
swear
once
more
,
never
to
rest
my
Head
on
her
sweet-scented
Pillow
,
till
I
have
reveng'd
this
young
Lad's
Cause
,
and
seen
him
satisfy'd
to
a
Scotch
Boatle
.
I
do
not
question
in
the
least
,
cry'd
Andrew
,
the
Performance
of
these
Oaths
,
but
I
had
rather
your
Worship
would
bestow
upon
me
a
small
Piece
of
Silver
to
carry
me
to
Sevil
,
then
all
the
Revenges
i'
the
World
.
And
having
so
said
,
I
beseech
ye
,
Sir
Knight
,
continu'd
he
,
bestow
a
Bit
a'
Bread
and
some
few
Charity
Fardings
upon
a
poor
Sufferer
for
your
sake
,
and
so
God
bless
all
the
Knight-Errants
under
the
Skie
,
and
may
they
prove
as
fortunate
for
themselves
,
as
they
ha'
been
for
me
.
Upon
that
,
Sancho
pull'd
out
a
Quarter
of
a
Penny-Loaf
and
a
piece
of
Cheese
,
and
giving
it
to
Andrew
,
here
Brother
,
said
he
,
't
is
but
Reason
and
Christianity
to
be
charitable
to
People
in
Misery
.
I
pray
,
what
sort
of
Charity
is
yours
,
cry'd
Andrew
?
This
piece
of
Bread
and
Cheese
,
quo
Sancho
;
and
God
knows
how
soon
I
may
want
it
my self
:
For
we
Squires
to
Knight-Errants
are
ever
and
anon
ready
to
perish
for
Hunger
and
Thirst
:
And
besides
that
,
we
are
most
cruelly
tyranniz'd
over
by
ill
Luck
,
and
hard
Fortune
,
and
a
thousand
Accidents
,
that
are
sooner
felt
then
related
.
Andrew
took
his
Bread
and
his
Cheese
,
and
finding
no
other
Charity-Money
stirring
,
he
made
'em
an
ugly
Scrape
,
and
turn'd
his
Back
to
the
Company
.
But
before
he
went
off
,
turning
about
to
Don
Quixote
,
Sir
Knight
,
said
he
,
for
the
Love
o'
God
,
if
ever
you
find
me
i'
the
same
Condition
again
,
tho
you
see
my
Bowels
ready
to
drop
out
o'
my
Body
,
ne're
be
such
a
Coxcomb
again
to
come
to
my
Assistance
,
but
leave
me
under
the
Lash
of
my
Misfortunes
,
which
cannot
be
worse
then
what
befel
me
through
your
impertinent
Vanity
,
according
to
the
Proverb
,
Fools
will
be
medling
;
for
which
the
Curse
of
God
light
upon
You
,
and
all
other
Knight-Errants
,
that
from
henceforth
shall
ever
be
spawn'd
into
the
World
.
With
that
,
Don
Quixote
rose
up
in
a
great
Fury
,
with
a
Resolution
to
have
giv'n
Andrew
the
Benediction
of
his
Cudgel
;
but
Andrew
,
not
caring
for
any
of
his
Blessings
,
withdrew
himself
out
of
his
Reach
,
as
swift
as
a
Fawn
.
So
that
Don
Quixote
resum'd
his
Seat
,
to
avoid
the
Shame
of
a
vain
Attempt
;
but
so
highly
enrag'd
at
Andrew's
Drollery
,
that
all
the
Company
were
forc'd
to
sit
as
demure
as
so
many
Quakers
,
for
fear
the
least
Smile
should
have
incens'd
him
to
Out-rage
.
CHAP.
V.
Of
what
happen'd
at
the
Inn.
AFter
they
had
refresh'd
their
Bodies
with
corporal
Food
,
they
that
had
Beasts
of
Carriage
,
mounted
;
and
those
that
had
none
,
went
a-foot
;
and
so
riding
and
going
a-foot
,
the
next
day
they
came
to
the
Inn
;
for
which
Sancho
had
the
same
Kindness
that
a
Man
has
for
a
Wife
that
sues
him
for
Alimonie
.
Presently
the
Inn
keeper
,
the
Hostess
,
her
Daughter
,
and
Maritornes
,
who
knew
Don
Quixote
and
his
Squire
again
,
without
a
Prospective-glass
,
half
a
Mile
off
,
came
forth
to
meet
'em
with
great
Demonstrations
of
Joy
.
Nor
was
the
Knight
behind-hand
with
his
Returns
of
Civility
at
the
usual
rate
,
that
is
to
say
,
with
an
extraordinary
Gravity
and
Reserv'dness
;
withal
,
desiring
the
Hostess
to
provide
him
a
better
Bed
then
he
had
the
last
time
.
To
which
the
Hostess
return'd
Answer
,
That
if
he
would
pay
better
,
she
would
help
him
to
a
Bed
for
a
Prince
.
Which
when
the
Knight
had
promis'd
to
do
,
they
made
him
one
in
the
very
same
place
where
he
lay
before
,
whither
he
went
and
threw
himself
down
immediately
,
as
weary
as
a
Fox-dog
,
and
quite
spent
with
the
Labour
and
Toil
of
his
own
Folly
in
the
Mountain
.
In
the
mean
time
,
the
Hostess
knowing
the
Barber
again
by
his
Tongue
,
leapt
at
his
Chin
,
like
a
Cock
at
a
Bilberry
Bush
,
and
catching
him
by
the
false
Beard
;
By
my
blessed
life
,
quo
she
,
ye
shall
make
use
o'
my
Tail
no
longer
:
I
think
y'
have
had
it
long
enough
,
to
my
Grief
,
I'
m
sure
,
to
see
my
Husband's
Comb
lie
so
nasty
as
it
does
i'
the
Kitchen-window
.
Thereupon
the
Hostess
tugg'd
,
and
the
Barber
tugg'd
,
for
he
was
loath
to
part
with
his
Tail
,
till
the
Curate
put
an
end
to
the
Dispute
,
by
telling
him
there
was
now
no
more
occasion
for
his
Disguise
;
for
that
he
might
tell
Don
Quixote
,
that
he
came
to
the
Inn
to
recruit
himself
;
and
if
he
enquir'd
after
the
Princess's
Squire
,
that
he
should
tell
his
Worship
,
That
the
Princess
had
sent
him
before
to
give
notice
to
her
Subjects
,
that
she
was
coming
with
a
Champion
that
would
swinge
off
the
Giant
,
and
restore
'em
all
to
their
Liberties
and
Properties
:
Which
gave
such
plenary
Satisfaction
to
the
Barber
,
that
he
restor'd
the
Hostess
her
Tail
,
with
all
the
rest
of
the
Trinkets
which
he
had
borrow'd
of
her
.
As
for
Mrs.
Dorothy
,
all
the
Strangers
that
were
i'
the
Inn
,
look'd
upon
her
to
be
wondrous
pretty
.
Nor
were
they
so
blind
,
but
they
could
spie
Cardenio's
Gentility
,
his
graceful
Meen
,
and
comely
Aspect
,
through
his
homely
Shepherd's
Weeds
.
The
Inn-keeper
also
upon
the
Curate's
word
,
and
out
of
the
good
Opinion
he
had
of
the
Company
,
had
provided
'em
a
good
handsom
Dinner
,
considering
't
was
an
Inn
no
better
then
one
of
your
Forest-a-dean
Houses
of
Entertainment
.
However
,
they
had
more
Manners
then
to
awake
Don
Quixote
,
who
lay
snoaring
like
a
West-Country
Carrier
;
for
they
thought
that
Sleep
would
do
him
more
good
then
a
Sheriff's
Feast
.
Therefore
they
fell
on
without
him
,
and
the
Table-discourse
was
all
about
the
Follies
and
Extravagancies
of
the
poor
Knight
,
and
in
what
Condition
they
had
found
him
in
the
Mountain
.
On
the
other
side
,
the
Hostess
who
was
present
,
made
a
Repetition
of
all
that
had
befall'n
the
valiant
Hero
in
his
Rencounter
with
the
Carrier
and
the
Constable
;
and
finding
Sancho
was
absent
,
she
recounted
the
Story
of
his
being
toss'd
i'
the
Blanket
,
which
made
the
Company
as
merry
as
so
many
Emmets
upon
a
Corn-heap
.
From
whence
the
Curate
taking
an
Occasion
to
deplore
the
Frenzies
of
the
unfortunate
Knight
,
charg'd
all
his
Misfortunes
upon
his
Books
of
Knight-Errantry
,
as
having
been
the
Occasion
of
all
his
Extravagancies
.
How
can
that
possibly
be
,
reply'd
the
Inn-keeper
,
interrupting
him
?
Where
is
there
any
better
reading
i'
the
World
?
I
have
some
two
or
three
of
these
Books
,
and
I
wish
this
Drink
may
be
my
Poison
,
if
I
don't
believe
they
have
preserv'd
not
only
mine
,
but
the
Lives
of
many
others
.
For
in
Harvest-time
ye
shall
have
above
twenty
,
sometimes
thirty
Reapers
and
Mowers
come
hither
of
a
Holy-day
.
Now
because
we
ha'
neither
Shovel-boards
,
Billiard-tables
,
Nine-pins
,
Noddy-boards
,
nor
Pigeon-holes
,
I
fetch
'em
out
one
of
these
Books
;
at
what
time
they
make
choice
of
one
of
the
best
Book-learn'd
among
'em
,
to
read
;
and
then
they
fall
a
list'ning
,
and
prating
,
and
drinking
,
that
it
does
my
Heart
good
to
see
my
Cans
empty'd
so
fast
;
which
makes
me
love
'em
so
well
,
that
sometimes
when
my
House
is
empty
,
I
can
sit
and
read
in
'em
a
whole
Day
together
.
For
my
part
,
quo
the
Hostess
,
I
have
as
much
Reason
to
speak
well
of
those
Books
,
as
any
body
;
for
we
are
never
more
at
quiet
i'
the
House
,
never
less
maundring
,
less
jarring
and
brawling
,
then
when
my
Husband
is
at
his
Devotions
,
as
I
call
'em
;
that
is
,
when
he
is
smerking
and
smiling
to
himself
over
his
Knight-Errantry
Books
;
besides
,
that
I
am
sure
to
be
courted
that
Night
at
a
more
then
usual
rate
.
All
this
is
true
,
cry'd
Maritornes
,
but
that
which
delights
me
most
,
is
,
when
I
hear
how
the
Knight
sits
embracing
his
Lady
under
an
Orange-Tree
,
while
the
Lady's
Damsel
stands
Sentinel
,
ready
to
tear
her
Flesh
for
want
of
the
same
Pastime
.
And
what
think
you
,
my
pretty
Maiden
,
quo
the
Curate
,
addressing
himself
to
the
Hostess's
Daughter
?
Alas
,
Sir
!
quo
she
,
I
know
not
what
belongs
to
these
things
;
and
yet
when
I
hear
'em
read
their
Stories
,
I
find
a
kind
of
Alteration
i'
my
Body
,
I
know
not
how
—
But
as
I
hope
for
Mercy
my self
,
the
merciless
Gashes
which
the
Knights
give
one
another
,
and
the
unreasonable
Steaks
which
they
sliver
off
from
one
another's
Cheeks
and
Shoulders
,
go
to
my
very
Heart
;
and
I'
m
as
sorry
for
the
poor
Gentlemen
,
as
if
it
were
my
own
Case
—
My
Father
knows
,
that
when
I
see
him
engag'd
among
the
Butchers
at
the
Bear-Garden
,
I
fall
a
squeaking
and
squaling
like
any
thing
.
And
then
when
I
hear
the
sad
Groans
and
Lamentations
of
some
kind-hearted
Knights
,
when
they
are
far
from
their
Mistresses
,
I
cannot
for
my
life
,
but
I
must
fall
a
weeping
for
Company
.
Why
then
,
said
Mrs.
Dorothy
,
I
perceive
,
Sweet-heart
,
you
would
not
be
so
ill-natur'd
,
to
let
a
Knight
lie
roaring
and
bellowing
so
long
,
if
you
could
help
him
.
I'
my
Conscience
now
,
Madam
,
reply'd
the
Virgin
,
I
don't
know
my
own
Mind
.
But
this
I
am
sure
of
,
that
some
of
these
Ladies
are
so
desperately
cruel
,
that
the
Knights
cannot
forbear
calling
'em
Lyons
,
and
Tygresses
,
Harpy's
,
Furies
,
and
I
know
not
what
my self
;
which
,
if
they
deserve
,
I
wonder
how
Ladies
that
pretend
to
Honour
and
Conscience
,
can
be
so
hard-hearted
,
to
suffer
a
Gentleman
that
so
dearly
loves
'em
,
to
dye
,
or
at
least
to
run
Mad
,
for
want
of
a
Kiss
or
a
nights
Entertainment
.
Lord
bless
me
!
what
does
all
this
Coyness
signifie
?
For
if
they
stand
upon
their
Punctilio's
of
Honour
,
how
if
I
should
prove
with
Child
?
let
'em
marry
the
Knights
,
as
I
would
do
,
if
I
were
in
their
Condition
.
Hold
your
prating
,
Hussey
,
quo
the
Hostess
,
I
find
you
know
more
then
you
should
do
already
.
Good
Daughter
,
no
more
o'
your
Riff-raff
;
Maids
must
be
seen
,
and
not
heard
—
Why
,
Mother
,
quo
the
Girl
,
I
did
but
answer
the
Gentleman
and
the
Gentlewoman
;
and
I'
m
sure
my
School-mistress
told
me
't
was
Manners
to
speak
when
I
was
spoke
to
.
So
't
is
,
and
I
thank
thee
very
kindly
Sweetheart
,
reply'd
the
Curate
;
and
then
turning
to
the
Inn-keeper
,
Landlord
,
quo
he
,
if
thy
Books
have
such
a
Faculty
to
help
down
good
Drink
,
prethee
let
's
see
'em
.
With
that
the
Inn-keeper
fetch'd
out
an
old
mouldy
Cloak-bag
,
secur'd
with
a
rusty
Padlock
,
which
after
he
had
unlock'd
,
he
gave
Air
to
Don
Cironciglio
of
Thrace
,
Don
Faelix-mart
of
Hyrcania
,
the
History
of
the
famous
and
renowned
Captain
,
Goncales
Hermandez
of
Cordova
,
with
the
Life
of
Valentine
and
Orson
,
Bevis
of
Southampton
,
and
Guy
of
Warwick
.
When
the
Curate
had
view'd
'em
,
Neighbour
,
quo
he
to
the
Barber
,
we
want
nothing
more
now
,
but
our
Friend's
Neece
and
his
House-keeper
,
the
Court
and
the
Window
.
There
's
no
such
need
,
quo
the
Barber
,
I
'le
undertake
to
fling
'em
out
o'
this
Window
as
artificially
,
as
if
I
had
been
seven
Years
at
the
Trade
;
or
else
to
carry
'em
to
the
Chimney
,
where
there
is
as
good
a
Fire
as
the
Hangman
himself
could
desire
for
the
burning
of
a
Traitor's
Intrails
.
How
,
Gentlemen
!
cry'd
the
Inn-keeper
?
I
hope
ye
don't
intend
to
burn
my
Books
?
Only
five
of
'em
,
reply'd
the
Curate
;
Don
Cironciglio
,
Faelix-mart
,
Valentine
and
Orson
,
Bevis
and
Guy
.
Why
sure
,
quo
the
Inn-keeper
,
they
be
no
Gismaticks
,
that
you
condemn
'em
thus
furiously
to
the
Flames
.
Schismaticks
thou
mean'st
,
quo
the
Curate
.
Well
,
let
'em
be
Zismaticks
,
however
,
as
y'
are
stout
,
be
merciful
,
quo
the
Inn-keeper
;
if
ye
must
be
burning
,
burn
Hermandez
and
Garcia
,
with
all
my
heart
,
but
for
the
rest
,
I
'le
as
soon
burn
my
Wife
and
Children
.
Landlord
,
reply'd
the
Curate
,
as
for
those
Books
you
would
so
fain
save
,
they
are
nothing
but
so
many
heaps
of
Lyes
,
meer
Rubbish
,
fit
for
nothing
but
Trunkmakers
.
But
for
D.
Garcia
,
he
was
a
famous
Souldier
indeed
,
and
so
strong
that
he
would
stop
the
Sails
of
a
Wind-mill
in
a
high
Wind
,
with
one
Hand
;
and
they
say
,
that
he
himself
singly
defended
a
Bridge
against
a
whole
Army
of
Men
,
with
many
other
renowned
and
famous
Atchievements
,
that
if
they
had
been
recorded
by
another
Historian
,
as
they
were
written
by
himself
with
a
more
then
ordinary
Modesty
,
because
he
wou'd
not
seem
to
be
the
Trumpeter
of
his
own
Fame
,
he
had
surpass'd
all
the
Hectors
,
Achilles's
,
and
Orlando
Furioso's
,
i'
the
World
.
Pox
—
quo
the
Inn-keeper
,
what
a
Wonder
you
tell
of
stopping
a
Wind-mill
Sail
—
read
Don
Faelix-mart
,
and
you
shall
see
how
with
one
back-blow
he
cut
five
Giants
as
big
about
as
the
Monument
,
as
ev'n
and
as
smoothly
i'
the
middle
,
that
you
could
not
see
where
his
Sword
had
gone
amiss
:
And
how
he
encounter'd
all
alone
one
of
the
greatest
Armies
that
ever
were
seen
,
and
shreded
as
small
as
Mince-meat
,
six
hundred
thousand
Soldiers
,
all
compleatly
arm'd
from
Head
to
Foot
;
and
then
you
would
burn
Guy
o'
Warwick
.
Nouns
,
Sir
,
there
was
never
such
a
Knight
i'
the
World
;
upon
whom
,
as
he
was
standing
by
some
River
or
other
,
't
is
no
matter
where
,
a
fierce
Dragon
leapt
out
of
the
River
,
and
seiz'd
upon
his
Body
;
but
presently
the
Knight
taking
hold
of
the
Dragon's
Throat
,
grip'd
his
scalding
hot
Wezand
so
hard
,
that
the
flaming
Monster
no
longer
able
to
breath
,
sunk
down
to
the
bottom
of
the
water
forty
fathom
deep
,
and
pull'd
the
Knight
after
him
because
he
would
not
let
go
his
hold
;
but
when
he
thought
he
had
been
at
the
bottom
of
the
River
,
he
found
himself
in
a
magnificent
Palace
,
standing
in
the
midst
of
pleasant
Gardens
and
Paradise's
;
at
what
time
the
fiery
Dragon
turn'd
into
an
elderly
Gentleman
,
as
venerable
as
the
Master
of
a
Company
upon
a
Court
Day
,
who
told
him
a
thousand
Stories
as
strange
to
him
,
as
the
Lyes
of
a
Traveller
to
a
Knot
of
Bumkins
in
an
Ale-house
Chimney
.
Go
,
go
,
y'
are
a
Fool
,
Mr.
Parson
,
these
were
brave
Fellows
indeed
—
I
'd
not
give
a
Fig
for
your
Don
Garcia's
,
and
your
great
Captains
,
they
're
not
worth
hanging
to
these
.
Upon
that
,
Mrs.
Dorothy
turning
to
Cardenio
,
What
say
you
to
all
this
?
Don't
you
think
my
Landlord
in
a
fair
way
to
be
a
second
Don
Quixote
?
Truly
I
think
him
in
as
beat'n
a
Road
to
it
,
as
from
London
to
Highgate
;
for
I
see
he
believes
all
that
he
reads
in
these
Romances
to
be
Articles
of
Faith
,
and
I
defie
all
the
Virtuosi
to
convince
him
to
the
Contrary
.
But
,
Landlord
,
quo
the
Curate
,
continuing
his
Discourse
,
do
you
believe
,
as
you
hope
to
escape
Purgatory
,
that
there
were
any
such
Persons
i'
the
World
,
as
Cirongilio
of
Thrace
,
and
Felix-mart
of
Hircania
,
and
the
rest
of
the
same
Tribe
?
Be
not
such
a
Fool
—
I
tell
thee
,
they
were
all
a
Company
of
Fables
invented
by
a
sort
of
idle
Fellows
that
had
nothing
else
to
do
,
for
the
Divertisement
of
those
that
were
as
lazy
as
themselves
.
Such
is
the
Folly
of
Men
to
complain
of
the
Shortness
of
Life
,
and
yet
know
not
what
to
do
with
what
they
have
.
Believe
then
what
I
say
,
for
by
the
word
of
a
Priest
,
I
swear
to
thee
,
there
is
not
a
Tittle
of
Truth
in
all
that
's
written
of
these
Knight-Errants
.
Who
are
you
selling
your
Shells
to
,
Mr.
Curate
,
reply'd
the
Inn-keeper
?
To
those
that
come
from
St.
Michael
?
Good-now
carry
these
Bones
to
another
Dog
.
't
is
true
,
perhaps
I
am
none
of
the
wisest
,
yet
I'
de
have
ye
to
know
,
tho
I
never
study'd
Darapti
,
nor
Felapton
,
I
am
not
so
soon
to
be
converted
neither
;
and
therefore
as
y'
are
a
University
Scholar
,
don't
think
to
feed
me
with
Pap
;
for
by
my
Wife's
first
Maiden-head
,
I
am
no
Child
to
be
made
believe
,
that
these
Books
that
are
set
forth
with
a
Licenc'd
by
Authority
,
which
Authority
is
deriv'd
from
the
Council
Royal
,
God
bless
'em
;
contain
nothing
but
Lyes
and
Forgeries
to
turn
People's
Brains
,
and
stock
Bedlam
.
I
have
told
ye
already
,
Landlord
,
reply'd
the
Curate
,
these
things
are
permitted
only
for
the
Pastime
of
those
that
have
no
other
Imployment
,
and
whose
Quality
and
Degree
exempts
'em
from
the
Trouble
of
Labour
and
Pains-taking
.
Therefore
it
is
,
that
in
all
well-order'd
Common-wealths
,
several
Sports
and
Recreations
are
allow'd
,
as
Cards
,
Tables
,
Billiards
,
and
the
like
,
for
the
Divertisement
of
such
as
neither
can
,
neither
does
it
behove
'em
to
work
.
And
for
the
same
Reason
they
suffer
these
sort
of
Books
to
be
printed
and
sold
;
not
imagining
there
should
be
any
so
ignorant
,
or
so
empty-pated
,
as
to
believe
there
is
any
Truth
in
such
kind
of
Stories
.
And
now
give
me
leave
to
tell
ye
,
were
it
seasonable
,
or
a
thing
that
the
Company
desir'd
,
I
would
say
something
concerning
these
Romances
,
how
they
ought
to
be
compos'd
,
to
the
end
they
might
be
of
Use
;
and
perhaps
my
Discourse
would
neither
be
unprofitable
or
displeasing
.
But
there
is
a
time
for
all
things
,
and
I
hope
one
Day
to
impart
my
Mind
to
those
that
may
have
Power
to
redress
this
National
Grievance
.
In
the
mean
time
,
Landlord
,
believe
what
I
say
,
and
make
your
best
Advantage
of
it
;
and
I
pray
God
keep
thee
from
being
sick
of
Don
Quixote's
Disease
.
Ne're
trouble
your
Head
for
that
,
Sir
,
reply'd
the
Inn-keeper
;
I'
m
sure
I
shall
ne're
be
such
a
Fool
as
to
turn
Knight-Errant
;
for
I
find
they
are
not
so
much
in
fashion
,
as
they
were
formerly
.
Sancho
,
who
was
present
at
some
part
of
this
Discourse
,
hearing
Knight-Errantry
exploded
,
as
quite
out
of
fashion
,
and
all
Romances
run
down
for
Fictions
,
Lyes
,
and
Chimera's
,
stood
like
Mumphazard
,
that
was
hang'd
for
saying
nothing
,
pensive
,
melancholy
,
stupid
,
and
all-besotted
,
till
reviv'd
with
a
Gill
of
the
best
,
he
at
length
resolv'd
to
tarry
a
little
longer
,
and
see
the
Issue
of
his
Master's
Journey
;
and
in
case
it
did
not
answer
his
Expectations
,
to
leave
him
there
,
and
then
to
return
home
to
his
Wife
and
Children
,
and
betake
himself
to
Hedging
and
Ditching
,
as
he
was
wont
to
do
.
The
Inn-keeper
also
was
about
to
have
carry'd
away
his
Portmantle
and
his
Books
,
but
the
Curate
stopt
him
,
telling
him
he
had
a
mind
to
see
some
Papers
that
he
had
only
cast
his
Eye
upon
,
the
rather
because
they
were
so
fairly
written
;
and
taking
out
a
handful
at
the
same
time
,
he
found
eight
or
ten
Leaves
together

and
therefore
I
have
a

—
Fetch
us
t'other
Bottle
,
Landlord
.
You
will
be
very
well
pleas'd
,
I
'le
assure
ye
,
Sir
,
reply'd
the
Inn-keeper
,
for
I
have
heard
it
read
to
several
of
my
Guests
that
have
been
highly
merry
with
it
;
may
,
I
have
had
several
Booksellers
here
too
,
that
have
offer'd
me
Money
for
the
Copy
to
print
it
,
but
I
resolv'd
not
to
part
with
it
;
beside
that
,
I
dare
not
neither
,
for
fear
the
owner
of
the
Portmantle
,
that
pawn'd
it
to
me
for
his
Reckoning
,
should
come
to
fetch
it
away
,
and
pay
me
my
Money
.
For
tho
I
am
an
Inn-keeper
,
yet
I
pretend
to
have
so
much
Conscience
,
as
not
to
do
my self
an
Injury
.
You
speak
honestly
,
reply'd
the
Curate
,
but
if
I
like
the
Story
,
I
hope
you
'l
let
me
take
a
Copy
.
With
all
my
heart
,
Sir
,
upon
Condition
you
'l
drink
a
Flask
or
two
extraordinary
.
While
they
two
were
thus
discoursing
,
Cardenio
took
up
the
Novel
,
and
having
read
a
little
way
—
Sir
,
said
he
to
the
Curate
,
I
like
it
very
well
,
and
I
believe
,
if
you
will
take
the
pains
to
read
it
out
aloud
,
the
whole
Company
will
be
glad
to
hear
it
.
Most
willingly
,
reply'd
the
Curate
;
but
is
it
not
time
to
go
to
sleep
,
rather
then
read
?
No
,
no
,
Mr.
Curate
,
cry'd
Mrs.
Dorothy
,
pray
read
it
,
I
'd
rather
hear
it
then
a
Sermon
—
and
besides
,
I
want
something
to
revive
my
Spirits
,
for
I
am
melancholy
methinks
of
a
sudden
:
Sancho
and
the
Barber
made
him
the
same
request
;
for
Sancho
said
he
was
melancholy
too
,
and
profer'd
to
fill
the
Curate
his
Cup
,
whenever
he
call'd
for
't
.
Nay
,
then
,
quo
the
Curate
,
take
your
places
,
and
give
Attention
:
Thus

CHAP.
VI
.
The
NOVEL
OF
THE
CURIOUS
IMPERTINENT
.
IN
Florence
,
a
wealthy
and
famous
City
of
Italy
,
in
the
Province
of
Tuscany
,
there
were
two
Gentlemen
,
Anselm
and
Lothaire
,
who
liv'd
together
in
such
a
perfect
Amity
and
Union
,
that
they
call'd
'em
the
Two
Friends
.
They
were
both
young
,
both
of
an
Age
,
both
Batchelors
,
and
had
both
the
same
Inclinations
;
only
that
Anselm
was
more
amorous
and
courtly
,
and
Lothaire
more
addicted
to
Hunting
.
But
they
lov'd
like
Pylades
and
Orestes
,
wou'd
forgoe
their
Pleasures
at
any
time
,
to
serve
one
another
;
and
if
one
had
Money
,
the
t'other
never
wanted
.
Now
mark
the
Burden
of
all
Novels
;
Anselm
fell
passionately
in
love
with
a
most
delicate
,
curious
,
peerless
Paragon
of
Beauty
,
in
the
same
City
.
And
it
fell
out
so
pat
,
that
her
Birth
,
her
Estate
,
her
Alliances
,
were
so
equal
to
his
,
that
he
resolv'd
,
with
the
Consent
of
his
Friend
,
(
for
without
that
,
't
was
impossible
for
him
to
do
any
thing
)
to
demand
her
in
Marriage
.
On
the
other
side
,
Lothaire
was
so
far
from
displeasing
his
Friend
,
that
he
undertook
to
make
the
Demand
;
and
so
diligently
bestirr'd
himself
,
that
in
a
few
days
he
put
his
Friend
to
bed
to
his
Mistress
fairly
and
honestly
;
for
which
,
both
his
Friend
and
Camilla
(
for
that
was
the
Gentlewoman's
Name
)
gave
him
more
Thanks
then
would
ha'
starv'd
ten
thousand
Cats
.
Lothaire
also
,
which
was
but
Reason
,
went
every
day
to
visit
the
two
marry'd
Couple
so
long
as
Honey-moon
lasted
;
nor
would
he
be
wanting
himself
sometimes
to
fiddle
,
and
sometimes
to
dance
,
as
Occasion
serv'd
.
But
the
Holy-days
being
over
,
he
thought
it
now
proper
,
like
a
Man
of
Discretion
,
to
be
more
reserv'd
,
and
less
frequent
in
his
Visits
;
for
that
his
Friend
being
marry'd
,
the
Case
was
alter'd
,
quo
Plowden
;
yet
vowing
withal
to
meet
him
as
often
at
the
Tavern
,
as
ever
he
did
before
;
and
there
to
be
Cup
and
Can
,
as
formerly
.
On
the
other
side
,
Anselm
as
enamour'd
,
and
as
eager
as
he
was
at
his
Sport
,
wonder'd
his
Friend
was
grown
such
a
Stranger
,
and
came
so
seldom
to
visit
him
;
and
therefore
one
day
,
when
he
did
come
,
expostulated
the
Case
with
him
,
and
told
him
,
That
Before-George
he
would
ne're
ha'
marry'd
,
had
he
thought
that
Matrimony
would
have
estrang'd
'em
one
from
another
:
That
it
was
usual
for
Women
to
claim
their
Thirds
,
and
therefore
the
Law
gave
his
Wife
a
Share
i'
their
Friendship
:
That
he
hop'd
they
two
knew
better
then
to
loose
the
peculiar
Title
of
the
Two
Friends
,
for
the
starch'd
Niceties
of
Formality
,
or
the
idle
Comments
of
Town-talk
:
That
Camilla
took
his
absenting
himself
as
unkindly
as
he
,
and
thought
her self
so
happy
in
her
Marriage
,
that
there
was
nothing
more
delightful
to
her
,
then
the
sight
of
him
that
had
so
fortunately
contriv'd
it
.
In
short
,
he
us'd
all
the
Arguments
imaginable
to
perswade
Lothaire
to
visit
him
as
he
did
before
,
assuring
him
,
that
he
could
not
be
at
rest
without
him
.
To
which
Lothaire
answer'd
with
so
much
Modesty
and
Prudence
,
that
Anselm
began
to
think
his
Friend
was
in
the
right
on
't
.
However
,
to
prevent
all
Misunderstandings
between
Decency
and
Friendship
,
it
was
concluded
,
That
Lothaire
should
come
twice
a
Week
,
and
upon
Holy-days
too
,
and
dine
at
Anselm's
House
.
Which
,
tho
Lothaire
promis'd
to
do
,
for
the
Satisfaction
of
his
Friend
;
yet
he
resolv'd
with
himself
however
,
to
be
still
careful
of
his
Friend's
Honour
,
whose
Reputation
he
valu'd
beyond
his
own
.
Quo
he
to
himself
,
and
he
quo
he
'd
like
an
honest
Gentleman
;
A
Man
whom
Heaven
has
blest
with
a
beautiful
Wife
,
had
as
much
need
to
take
care
what
Friends
he
brings
to
his
House
,
as
what
Orange
,
and
Boon-Christian
Women
,
what
Ladies
of
Quality
,
and
Kinswomen
,
came
to
visit
his
Wife
.
For
that
those
Bargains
cannot
be
driven
i'
the
Market-place
,
or
at
Church
,
or
at
a
great
Invitation
,
or
a
Play-house
,
whither
a
Man
cannot
refuse
his
Wife
to
go
sometimes
,
which
are
concluded
at
home
by
a
She-friend
or
a
Kinswoman
,
of
whom
there
is
little
or
no
notice
tak'n
.
How
easily
is
a
Billet-doux
convey'd
in
a
Bunch
of
Grapes
,
or
a
Boon
Christian
;
nor
shall
she
want
Instruction
which
to
chuse
;
take
this
Pear
,
Madam
,
upon
my
word
,
't
is
a
choice
piece
of
Fruit
,
and
cheap
at
Six-pence
.
Anselm
,
on
the
other
side
,
who
knew
his
Friend's
Thoughts
as
well
as
if
he
had
been
in
his
Belly
,
made
these
Cautions
an
Argument
against
him
,
urging
,
That
for
these
very
Reasons
,
it
behov'd
every
marry'd
Man
,
to
have
a
real
Friend
about
him
,
to
give
him
good
Counsel
,
and
inform
him
when
he
did
amiss
;
for
that
many
Men
might
be
apt
to
be
so
indulgent
to
their
Wives
,
and
to
be
so
hood-wink'd
with
Affection
and
Dotage
,
that
they
could
not
spie
those
Faults
and
Contrivances
,
which
a
discreet
and
discerning
Friend
might
be
able
to
do
.
But
notwithstanding
all
Anselm's
Rhetorick
,
Lothaire
still
kept
to
his
Text
,
and
would
not
visit
his
Friend
any
oftner
then
he
thought
fitting
,
that
is
to
say
,
he
very
seldom
went
to
see
him
.
Shew
me
now
such
another
Example
of
real
and
sincere
Amity
;
for
my
part
,
I
don't
believe
there
ever
was
such
another
as
Lothaire
,
who
was
so
careful
of
his
Friend's
Honour
,
that
he
depriv'd
himself
of
his
Company
,
for
fear
the
world
should
misinterpret
his
Visits
,
and
that
at
an
Age
that
does
not
usually
make
those
sober
Reflections
where
Pleasure
is
concern'd
;
so
generous
that
he
would
not
give
Occasion
to
the
idle
world
to
talk
,
or
for
malicious
Eyes
to
observe
the
frequent
Visits
of
a
wealthy
Gentleman
,
and
of
noble
Birth
,
to
such
a
celebrated
Beauty
as
Camilla
,
to
the
Scandal
of
his
friend's
forehead
,
upon
which
the
vulgar
would
be
presently
grafting
all
the
Horns
in
Epping-Forest
,
upon
the
least
Surmises
of
their
Malice
.
Yet
all
this
while
such
was
Anselm's
Impatience
,
that
he
never
saw
his
Friend
,
but
he
upbraided
him
with
his
Coldness
,
for
which
Lothaire
had
always
such
proper
Excuses
,
that
Anselm
knew
not
how
to
be
angry
with
him
.
But
not
long
after
,
as
they
were
both
walking
together
i'
the
Fields
,
Anselm
taking
Lothaire
by
the
Hand
;
One
would
think
,
Lothaire
,
said
he
,
that
considering
the
Favours
which
God
had
showr'd
upon
me
,
in
making
me
the
Son
of
such
Noble
Parents
,
and
bestowing
upon
me
with
such
a
liberal
Hand
;
but
more
then
all
this
,
when
I
find
my self
belov'd
by
such
a
true
Friend
as
Lothaire
,
and
embrac'd
by
such
a
vertuous
Wife
as
the
fair
Camilla
,
one
would
think
,
I
say
,
that
I
should
live
contented
as
one
that
enjoy'd
all
the
Happiness
that
a
Man
can
enjoy
in
this
World
.
And
yet
for
all
this
,
I
find
my self
so
strangely
distracted
in
my
Mind
,
such
odd
Conundrums
and
Whimsies
lie
wallowing
and
tumbling
i'
my
Brains
,
that
I
cannot
tell
how
for
the
Soul
and
Blood
o'
me
,
to
get
rid
of
'
em
.
I
confess
,
to
my
Shame
,
that
they
are
only
the
extravagant
Fancies
of
a
weak
Head
,
at
which
I
cannot
chuse
but
wonder
,
and
as
often
highly
blame
my self
.
But
they
have
got
such
an
ascendant
over
me
,
that
I
cannot
withstand
'em
;
and
it
makes
me
mad
to
see
my self
almost
beside
my
Wits
.
As
for
Example
,
Then
thundring
Jove
in
human
Shape
came
stealing
to
Amphitryo's
Bed
—
What
a
pox
have
I
to
do
with
Jove
or
Amphitryo
—
?
there
's
neither
Rhyme
nor
Reason
in
't
—
and
yet
these
things
fill
my
Brains
full
o'
Sparables
—
At
other
times
I
dream
of
Lords
and
Citizens
Wives
,
Ladies
and
their
Coachmen
.
What-a-devil
do
these
things
concern
me
?
And
yet
sometimes
they
make
a
noise
i'
my
Noddle
like
so
many
Paper-mills
.
Now
as
I
thus
became
a
Nuisance
to
my self
,
I
knew
not
where
to
apply
my self
for
cure
,
but
to
the
only
faithful
Friend
that
I
have
i'
the
World
;
and
therefore
I
shall
not
scruple
to
discover
to
thee
the
Cause
of
my
Distemper
,
as
being
confident
,
that
no
other
Person
under
Heaven
can
relieve
me
.
Anselm
,
amaz'd
to
hear
his
Friend
talk
idle
at
that
rate
,
could
not
divine
what
Maggot
this
should
be
,
that
had
so
suddenly
wriggl'd
it self
among
the
Tunicles
of
his
Brain
.
And
therefore
to
satisfie
his
Impatience
,
he
told
him
in
plain
English
,
't
was
a
Violation
of
the
League
between
'em
to
fetch
such
a
Compass
about
,
before
he
came
to
the
Point
;
that
his
Secrets
did
not
use
to
come
so
hard
from
him
;
and
therefore
whatever
it
were
,
he
desir'd
him
to
out
with
it
,
since
he
knew
his
Friend
was
bound
to
conceal
it
,
tho
't
were
Treason
it self
.
Why
,
faith
my
dear
Friend
,
reply'd
Anselm
,
nothing
but
Shame
has
ty'd
my
Tongue
all
this
while
—
And
I
could
hang
my self
for
trifling
thus
long
,
since
't
is
in
vain
for
a
Man
to
hide
his
Disease
from
his
Physician
.
Physician
!
quo
Lothaire
—
'
Fore-George
,
if
it
be
any
thing
of
a
Clap
,
't
is
quite
out
o'
my
Road
—
No
,
no
,
reply'd
Anselm
,
't
is
a
serious
,
a
very
serious
Business
.
I
would
try
an
Experiment
—
I
would
fain
know
,
Pox
on
't
—
't
was
just
at
the
Root
o'
my
Tongue
,
and
is
slipp'd
down
again
—
I
would
fain
know
whether
—
Camilla
be
as
chast
,
and
as
virtuous
as
I
believe
her
to
be
—
now
't
is
out
.
Bless
me
!
what
a
Project
ha'
you
teem'd
after
such
a
hard
Labour
?
Why
,
faith
said
Anselm
,
I
cannot
tell
whether
I
think
well
or
ill
,
but
my
Opinion
is
this
,
That
what
ye
call
Vertue
in
Women
,
is
like
your
counterfeit
Pieces
that
glister
like
Gold
,
but
in
the
Refiners
Melting-pot
they
vanish
away
in
Smoke
and
Steam
.
Vertue
is
a
specious
word
,
and
makes
a
fine
shew
,
that
oftimes
covers
a
World
of
mysterious
Wickedness
.
For
I
do
not
believe
that
Woman
to
be
chast
,
that
is
never
courted
,
or
never
solicited
:
But
she
that
can
resist
the
Promises
,
the
Presents
,
the
Tears
,
the
Importunities
,
and
all
the
Temptations
of
a
Diabolical
Lover
,
she
's
the
vertuous
Woman
.
For
tho
she
hold
out
a
Siege
as
long
as
Troy
,
if
she
surrender
at
length
,
I
'd
not
give
a
single
Mustard-seed
for
her
Vertue
;
nor
would
I
give
a
Rush
for
a
Vertue
that
is
grounded
upon
Fear
,
or
want
of
Opportunity
.
She
's
only
vertuous
,
that
holds
out
against
all
the
Batteries
of
Enticement
,
and
the
Enticements
even
of
their
own
Inclinations
.
Now
I
would
fain
try
,
whether
Camilla's
Vertue
be
of
this
Nature
.
't
is
true
,
such
Experiments
are
dangerous
,
but
I
shall
ne're
be
quiet
i'
my
Mind
,
till
I
am
satisfy'd
in
this
Particular
.
If
Camilla
stand
to
her
Pan-pudding
;
if
when
she
has
run
the
Gantlet
through
all
the
Temptations
,
Oaths
,
Vows
,
Protestations
,
Wiles
and
Stratagems
of
an
importunate
Lover
,
she
come
off
without
a
Scar
;
then
will
I
say
,
there
's
a
Woman
fall'n
to
my
Lot
,
after
whom
the
Wise
man
makes
Proclamation
,
and
cries
,
Where
's
such
a
one
to
be
found
?
But
if
she
falter
and
give
ground
,
I
shall
have
this
Advantage
at
least
,
not
to
have
been
deceiv'd
in
my
Opinion
,
and
that
I
was
not
cully'd
by
that
Confidence
,
which
abuses
so
many
other
Men
.
And
therefore
never
go
about
to
spend
words
in
vain
,
in
hopes
to
divert
me
from
my
Design
,
for
you
may
as
well
take
the
Moon
by
the
Horns
;
but
prepare
your self
to
do
me
this
Kindness
,
upon
the
score
of
our
long
continu'd
and
inviolable
Friendship
.
Make
all
the
Applications
to
her
imaginable
,
swear
,
vow
,
protest
,
fall
at
her
Knees
,
whine
,
pine
,
lament
and
mourn
;
spare
neither
for
Necklaces
of
Pearl
,
nor
Gold
Watches
;
let
her
not
want
any
Rarity
that
Spring
,
Summer
,
or
the
more
fruitful
Autumn
yields
:
In
short
,
use
all
the
Stratagems
and
Devices
that
human
Wit
,
or
the
Subtilty
of
the
Devil
can
invent
to
debauch
an
honest
,
honourable
,
reserv'd
,
modest
,
godly
,
vertuous
Woman
;
and
believing
thou
canst
not
give
me
a
more
sensible
Proof
of
thy
Kindness
,
begin
as
soon
as
thou
canst
.
Anselm
here
making
a
stop
,
Lothario
more
astonish'd
now
then
he
was
before
,
star'd
him
i'
the
face
a
good
while
,
without
speaking
a
word
,
like
one
that
had
been
gazing
upon
something
he
had
never
seen
before
;
till
after
he
had
recollected
himself
,
Friend
Anselm
,
said
he
,
had
I
thought
you
had
been
in
earnest
all
this
while
,
I
should
never
have
heard
ye
so
patiently
,
and
so
long
,
without
an
Interruption
.
Surely
,
either
thou
dost
not
know
me
,
or
I
don't
know
thee
.
But
I
think
I
know
thee
to
be
Anselm
;
and
I
believe
thou
knowst
me
to
be
Lothario
:
Here
's
the
Mischief
on
't
,
that
I
think
thou
art
not
the
same
Anselm
thou
wer
't
wont
to
be
,
and
thou
tak'st
me
not
to
be
the
same
Lothairo
that
I
ought
to
be
.
For
neither
is
the
Kindness
of
that
Nature
to
be
desir'd
by
Anselm
,
nor
to
be
granted
by
Lothario
.
We
are
to
make
use
of
our
Friends
to
such
a
Degree
,
and
no
farther
;
and
to
make
trial
of
their
Friendship
in
things
that
are
reasonable
,
not
in
things
that
are
contrary
to
common
Sense
;
and
if
not
prejudicial
,
at
least
of
no
Advantage
to
the
Imposer
.
You
wou'd
have
me
make
love
to
your
Wife
,
and
use
my
utmost
Endeavours
to
debauch
her
:
If
you
believe
her
vertuous
,
what
would
ye
have
more
?
Or
what
will
my
Endeavours
add
to
her
Merit
?
But
if
I
do
debauch
her
,
what
then
?
Then
is
your
Life
at
an
end
;
for
the
loss
of
Reputation
,
is
the
loss
of
Life
;
and
what
will
the
world
most
justly
say
of
me
,
for
abusing
and
dishonouring
my
Friend
?
By
my
troth
,
you
have
study'd
one
of
the
most
ingenious
Contrivances
to
ruine
your self
and
your
friend
too
,
that
ever
I
heard
of
.
If
you
question
,
whether
Camilla
be
as
prudent
as
other
Women
,
take
her
as
she
is
,
either
better
or
worse
,
till
ye
find
her
worse
then
she
is
.
For
't
is
better
to
enjoy
a
quiet
Uncertainty
,
then
to
bring
an
old
House
upon
a
Man's
Head
,
by
trying
Experiments
.
Remember
,
friend
Anselm
,
that
the
Honour
of
a
Woman
consists
in
the
good
Opinion
which
the
world
has
of
her
;
then
content
your self
with
your
own
and
the
good
Opinion
of
the
world
to
boot
,
and
never
go
about
,
out
of
an
idle
and
impertinent
Curiosity
to
lay
Snares
meerly
to
shew
the
Excellency
o'
your
Trap
;
which
,
when
all
is
done
,
does
but
catch
prone
Inclination
with
the
Baits
that
are
natural
to
it
.
For
in
short
,
a
Woman
is
like
a
polish'd
Glass
,
which
is
tarnish'd
with
the
least
breathing
upon
it
:
A
delicate
Flower
,
that
sullies
and
withers
with
the
softest
Touch
.
To
this
Purpose
,
I
remember
the
Advice
of
an
grave
Old
Toast
,
to
the
Father
of
a
certain
young
Virgin
in
a
Comedy
,
to
keep
a
diligent
watch
over
his
Daughter
,
to
shut
her
up
,
and
not
to
trust
her
to
her self
;
and
if
I
mistake
not
,
the
words
were
these
.
HE
that
thinks
a
Woman
Glass
,
Let
him
ne'r
be
trying
tricks
;
For
as
sure
as
God's
in
Gloster
,
If
he
lets
her
fall
,
she
breaks
.
But
when
she
's
broke
,
the
Devil
himself
Can
never
soder
up
the
Wound
;
And
therefore
while
she
's
whole
,
be
sure
To
have
a
care
,
and
keep
her
sound
.
For
certain
't
is
,
that
were
there
now
More
Danaë's
then
could
be
told
,
There
wou'd
not
want
for
ev'ry
one
As
many
charming
showers
of
Gold
.
And
now
,
said
Lothario
,
having
spok'n
thus
much
for
your
Interest
,
give
me
leave
to
say
something
for
my self
.
You
look
upon
me
to
be
your
real
Friend
,
and
yet
you
go
about
to
take
away
my
Honour
;
and
would
ha'
me
be
the
Instrument
of
ruining
yours
:
Wise
work
in
good
truth
.
What
will
Camilla
think
,
when
she
shall
hear
my
lewd
Addresses
to
her
,
but
that
I
am
a
perfidious
Son
of
Voluptuousness
,
that
makes
no
scruple
to
violate
the
most
Sacred
Laws
of
Friendship
,
or
to
Sacrifice
my
Reputation
to
the
ticklings
of
sensual
Pleasure
?
Will
she
not
have
reason
to
be
offended
at
a
Liberty
that
will
seem
to
reproach
her
,
as
if
I
had
observ'd
a
particular
Lightness
and
Vanity
in
her
Conduct
?
Or
if
I
find
her
yielding
,
will
it
become
me
to
betray
Anselm
?
Or
if
I
cannot
accomplish
my
ends
,
can
she
have
a
greater
hatred
,
then
for
the
Person
,
on
whom
she
had
bestow'd
such
marks
of
her
favour
,
meerly
to
make
a
May-game
of
her
Credulity
?
Or
if
I
excuse
my self
,
and
say
,
I
did
it
to
please
you
;
what
will
she
think
of
me
for
accepting
such
a
Commission
?
And
how
will
she
despise
the
Person
that
Sign'd
it
?
What
will
all
Men
of
Honour
think
of
me
,
for
having
troubl'd
the
repose
of
all
your
Family
with
a
false
Complaisance
?
Shall
we
not
become
the
Publick
Laughter
of
those
that
admir'd
our
strict
and
matchless
Amity
?
Believe
me
therefore
,
dear
Anselm
,
live
undisturb'd
in
an
Opinion
that
renders
thee
happy
;
and
consider
that
thou
ventur'st
thousands
to
a
Nut-shell
,
in
so
rash
and
impertinent
a
folly
.
In
a
word
,
without
flattery
,
I
take
it
ill
,
that
you
should
make
me
such
an
idle
and
dishonourable
Proposal
;
and
be
assur'd
,
that
I
will
never
do
ye
this
dangerous
piece
of
Service
,
tho
it
should
cost
me
your
Friendship
,
which
would
to
me
be
the
greatest
Loss
i'
the
World
.
These
home-thrusts
of
Lothario
put
Anselm
into
such
a
Confusion
,
that
for
a
good
while
he
stood
as
mute
as
a
Fish
,
till
having
found
his
Tongue
in
a
condition
to
move
;
Friend
Lothario
,
said
he
,
I
have
heard
thee
with
all
the
Attention
and
Satisfaction
imaginable
;
and
have
observ'd
in
thy
Expressions
all
that
Discretion
and
Prudence
could
utter
:
And
this
Refusal
of
thine
has
signaliz'd
thy
Friendship
to
the
highest
degree
.
I
confess
my
Request
is
unjust
,
and
such
a
one
,
of
which
the
Consequences
cannot
chuse
but
be
fatal
;
and
that
if
I
don't
follow
thy
Counsel
,
I
am
a
Mad-man
,
and
hurry
my self
into
a
most
dreadful
Precipice
.
But
I
am
sick
,
Lothario
,
I
am
sick
;
and
of
a
Distemper
that
rages
incessantly
within
me
;
and
a
desperate
Disease
must
have
a
desperate
Cure
:
Besides
,
you
see
that
Chalk
,
Oatmeal
,
Coals
,
the
raw
Steaks
of
a
Butcher's
Arm
,
will
never
hurt
those
that
long
for
'
em
.
I
conceal'd
my
Infirmity
a
long
time
,
in
hopes
I
might
surmount
it
;
but
't
is
become
my
Master
,
and
my
deplorable
Condition
obliges
me
to
seek
for
aid
.
Forsake
me
not
therefore
in
my
distress
,
dear
Friend
—
Never
stand
arguing
with
a
man
that
has
lost
his
Reason
—
Why
—
if
I
have
a
mind
to
be
a
Cuckold
,
why
should
you
contradict
me
?
Prithee
try
Camilla
,
gently
at
first
,
for
fear
of
dashing
,
I
dare
say
she
won't
surrender
at
the
first
Assault
;
and
perhaps
that
small
Experiment
may
satisfie
me
,
that
I
may
return
to
my
Senses
again
without
any
more
.
If
thou
art
successful
over
the
left
shoulder
,
and
art
forc'd
to
raise
thy
Siege
from
my
beloved
Lady
Vienna
,
then
shall
I
be
happier
then
the
Great
Mogul
,
and
the
King
of
Persia
;
and
thou
wilt
have
the
Honour
to
have
outdone
all
the
Physicians
in
London
,
where
I
think
there
are
more
then
enow
;
and
to
have
Cur'd
one
of
the
oddest
Frenzies
that
ever
was
heard
of
.
And
for
Camilla
,
let
me
alone
to
put
it
off
with
a
Jest
,
and
pacifie
her
well
enough
.
But
do
it
,
dear
Lothario
,
do
it
for
my
sake
,
do
it
for
her
sake
,
do
it
for
Heav'n's
sake
,
do
it
for
thy
own
sake
,
and
for
the
sake
of
all
that
is
dear
to
thee
i'
the
World
;
or
else
I
must
be
forc'd
to
employ
some
body
else
.
Lothario
finding
Anselm
so
resolutely
bent
,
and
the
danger
of
a
Refusal
,
determin'd
to
accept
the
strange
Commission
,
the
rather
because
he
was
satisfied
that
he
had
discharg'd
his
Conscience
to
the
full
,
both
like
a
Gentleman
and
a
Friend
;
resolving
however
to
carry
his
business
so
cunningly
,
as
to
satisfie
the
Hypochondriacal
Anselm
,
and
yet
not
offend
Camilla
neither
.
And
having
thus
concluded
within
himself
;
You
shall
not
need
,
quo
he
to
Anselm
,
to
employ
any
body
else
,
for
I
find
my
Complaisance
too
weak
to
withstand
any
longer
the
force
of
your
Entreaties
.
At
which
words
Anselm
embrac'd
him
with
that
Affection
,
as
if
it
had
been
Camilla
her self
triumphant
over
all
the
seven
deadly
Sins
.
After
that
,
they
drank
a
chirping
Cup
together
,
and
Anselm
drew
out
a
draught
of
the
Method
which
Lothario
was
to
observe
;
not
forgetting
what
sort
of
Tunes
he
would
have
for
the
Serenades
,
and
what
sort
of
Songs
he
would
have
for
the
Tunes
,
which
he
offer'd
to
make
himself
,
if
Lothario
thought
he
could
not
be
at
leisure
,
for
Courting
his
Wife
.
Moreover
,
he
promis'd
to
send
Lothario
Money
to
defray
the
Expences
of
his
Entertainments
,
his
Coach-hire
to
and
fro
;
together
with
what
Watches
,
Rings
,
and
Jewels
he
should
think
convenient
for
Temptation
Presents
:
For
all
which
Lothario
took
his
word
,
without
troubling
a
Scriv'ner
to
draw
up
Articles
.
Which
done
,
Anselm
carry'd
Lothario
home
to
his
House
,
where
he
found
Camilla
in
a
twitter
,
for
his
having
staid
till
Dinner
was
almost
spoyl'd
.
After
Dinner
,
and
a
Game
or
two
at
Back-Gammon
,
Lothario
took
his
leave
for
that
time
,
and
retir'd
to
his
Lodging
,
very
much
disturb'd
in
his
mind
about
the
hard
Duty
which
his
Friend
had
impos'd
upon
him
.
That
Night
he
lay
tumbling
and
tossing
,
and
considering
with
himself
how
to
manage
his
Business
;
and
the
next
day
away
he
went
again
to
Dine
with
his
Friend
,
where
Camilla
receiv'd
him
as
her
Husband's
Acquaintance
,
with
all
the
becoming
freedom
imaginable
;
as
one
in
whose
Company
she
knew
her
Husband
delighted
,
and
to
whom
she
was
her self
not
a
little
engag'd
.
They
had
no
sooner
clos'd
up
their
Stomacks
with
their
Pippins
and
Carraway
Comfits
,
but
Anselm
,
rising
hastily
from
the
Table
,
told
'em
,
that
he
had
urgent
Business
that
call'd
him
abroad
,
and
therefore
begg'd
of
Lothario
to
keep
his
Wife
Company
till
his
Return
;
and
notwithstanding
all
Lothario's
entreaties
,
that
he
might
bear
him
Company
,
and
Camilla's
endearing
Prithee
my
Hony's
and
Sweet-heart's
,
to
retain
him
at
home
,
nothing
would
do
;
he
had
no
sooner
comb'd
out
his
Perriwig
,
but
away
he
flung
,
leaving
Lothario
and
his
Wife
in
the
Room
together
.
And
then
it
was
,
that
Lothario
found
himself
at
the
strangest
Non-plus
that
ever
he
was
in
his
life
;
not
knowing
what
i'
the
World
to
do
,
to
avoid
the
danger
that
threatned
the
forehead
of
his
Friend
.
At
length
he
faind
himself
to
be
very
sleepy
,
and
after
he
had
seemingly
endeavour'd
to
wake
himself
two
or
three
times
,
he
loll'd
backward
in
his
Chair
,
and
betook
himself
to
Dog-sleep
;
for
as
I
may
tell
to
you
,
he
was
no
more
sleepy
then
when
he
wak'd
i'
the
Morning
.
About
two
hours
after
,
Anselm
return'd
,
and
finding
Camilla
i'
the
Room
,
and
Lothario
fast
asleep
,
as
he
thought
,
he
conjectur'd
,
he
had
tyr'd
himself
with
talking
,
and
therefore
staid
till
he
was
awake
,
to
know
how
far
he
had
proceeded
.
Lothario
answer'd
him
,
that
he
did
not
think
it
convenient
to
provoke
Camilla
too
far
at
the
first
dash
;
and
therefore
he
had
only
discours'd
her
at
a
distance
,
concerning
the
Perfections
of
her
own
Beauty
,
and
amus'd
her
with
the
general
Talk
of
the
Town
,
of
the
Happy
Choice
that
Anselm
had
made
of
a
Wife
;
not
doubting
but
to
insinuate
himself
by
degrees
,
as
having
prepar'd
her
to
hear
stories
of
another
Nature
the
next
time
:
Observing
the
Devil's
Method
,
who
when
he
has
a
design
to
deceive
poor
Mortals
,
does
not
shew
his
Cloven
foot
at
first
,
but
transforms
himself
into
an
Angel
of
Light
.
Which
beginning
extreamly
pleas'd
Anselm
.
Several
days
thus
past
over
,
wherein
Lothario
spoke
not
a
word
to
Camilla
;
only
he
made
her
Husband
believe
he
had
us'd
all
the
Art
and
Arguments
,
with
which
the
Devil
had
liberally
furnish'd
him
,
but
could
not
make
the
least
Impression
upon
her
Affection
:
On
the
other
side
,
that
she
did
nothing
but
cry
fie
,
and
out
upon
him
;
and
that
she
did
not
think
he
had
been
such
a
one
,
and
at
length
threaten'd
to
tell
her
Husband
,
and
never
to
come
into
his
Company
more
,
if
ever
he
offer'd
her
any
such
idle
Discourse
again
.
Happy
had
Anselm
been
,
if
this
would
ha'
giv'n
him
Satisfaction
:
But
't
is
not
to
be
avoided
,
where
the
Devil
owes
a
man
a
shame
;
for
the
Devil
scorns
to
take
White-Fryers
for
such
a
Debt
.
Thus
far
,
said
Anselm
,
Camilla
has
withstood
the
Batteries
of
Words
,
now
let
's
see
how
she
will
resist
the
force
of
Deeds
.
To
morrow
I
'le
send
ye
in
two
hundred
Guineys
for
a
Present
,
and
two
hundred
more
for
a
Garnish
of
Diamonds
;
for
Women
love
to
see
their
Stomachers
twinkling
with
Jewels
,
like
the
Sky
in
a
frosty
Night
;
and
if
Camilla
refuses
Them
,
I
'le
never
trouble
thee
farther
.
Well
,
cry'd
Lothario
,
I
'le
go
forward
,
since
I
ha'
begun
;
but
I'
m
confident
you
'd
as
good
ha'
play'd
away
your
Money
at
In
and
In
i'
the
Temple-Hall
—
However
,
the
next
day
Anselm
,
who
like
a
Merchant
that
stands
upon
his
Credit
,
was
too
punctual
to
fail
of
his
word
,
sent
in
his
Friend
the
four
hundred
Guineys
,
which
plung'd
Lothario
again
into
new
Cares
:
But
still
he
concluded
to
say
,
that
Camilla
was
not
to
be
mov'd
,
and
that
he
was
afraid
of
incurring
her
hatred
by
teizing
her
.
And
indeed
he
might
easily
have
come
off
with
Honour
,
had
Anselm
been
Master
of
himself
;
but
his
Brains
were
so
turn'd
in
his
Skull
,
that
nothing
would
content
him
.
One
day
therefore
,
after
he
had
left
Lothario
and
Camilla
alone
,
as
he
was
wont
to
do
,
he
withdrew
himself
into
an
upper
Room
,
where
he
could
see
all
that
pass'd
between
the
two
supposed
Lovers
.
But
when
he
had
staid
there
above
an
Hour
,
he
observ'd
that
in
all
that
time
,
Lothario
did
not
so
much
as
open
his
Lips
,
which
made
him
believe
,
that
what
he
had
said
of
Camilla
,
were
all
meer
Shams
.
Upon
which
,
returning
into
the
Room
,
and
taking
Lothario
aside
;
What
a
scurvy
Humour
is
Camilla
in
to
day
,
quo
he
?
She
has
piss'd
upon
a
Nettle
,
I
think
,
quo
Lothario
;
for
she
's
as
froppish
,
as
if
she
had
lost
the
first
Present
that
you
made
her
:
so
cholerick
,
so
pettish
,
so
peevish
,
so
waspish
,
that
I
durst
not
speak
a
word
to
her
—
Ah
,
Lothario
,
Lothario
!
cry'd
Anselm
,
Is
this
the
Effect
of
your
Promises
?
Is
this
the
Discharge
of
a
Trust
,
which
I
expected
from
your
Friendship
?
I
ha'
stood
upon
the
Watch
,
where
I
have
all
this
while
observ'd
,
that
you
have
not
spoke
aword
to
Camilla
—
there
's
Courtship
for
mine
A
—
and
not
for
a
brisk
Lady
—
Why
don't
ye
give
me
leave
to
make
use
of
some
body
else
,
if
you
are
so
tender-Conscienc'd
?
Lothairo
finding
himself
so
trapp'd
,
that
he
had
not
one
hole
to
creep
out
at
,
and
being
in
the
Number
of
those
that
could
not
tell
a
Lye
,
and
stand
in
it
,
thought
it
convenient
to
play
another
Game
;
and
swore
more
Oaths
then
are
sworn
of
a
Night
in
a
Gaming-Ordinary
,
that
it
should
cost
him
a
fall
,
but
he
would
do
his
Business
.
Anselm
believ'd
him
,
and
to
give
him
the
more
Liberty
,
resolv'd
to
go
into
the
Country
for
a
matter
of
eight
days
.
Now
was
there
ever
such
a
Puppy
i'
the
world
?
when
he
had
all
things
at
home
to
his
own
Heart's
content
,
a
fair
Estate
,
a
handsom
,
loving
,
obsequious
Wife
;
yet
all
this
wou'd
not
content
him
,
but
that
he
must
be
studying
,
and
searching
out
new
Passages
to
Nova
Zembla
,
new
Hudson's
Bays
,
to
his
own
Ruine
?
But
no
more
of
these
Digressions
,
let
's
go
on
with
our
Story
.
Industrious
Anselm
went
the
next
Morning
into
the
Country
;
but
taking
leave
of
his
Wife
,
My
Dear
,
quo
he
,
urgent
Business
calls
me
away
,
however
,
I
leave
ye
my
friend
Lothario
,
to
whom
I
desire
ye
i'
the
mean
time
to
be
as
kind
and
civil
as
to
my self
.
My
Dear
,
quo
Camilla
,
this
is
your
Order
,
but
a
strange
Injunction
.
Joy
,
quo
she
,
d'
ye
understand
what
ye
do
?
for
it
troubles
me
very
much
to
obey
;
for
that
it
was
beyond
the
Limits
of
Decency
,
that
Lothario
and
she
should
live
with
that
Familiarity
together
in
his
Absence
.
If
ye
doubt
that
I
am
not
able
to
govern
your
House
,
I
beseech
ye
,
my
Dear
,
stay
and
be
a
Witness
your self
of
my
Management
,
that
if
I
do
amiss
,
I
may
be
better
inform'd
by
your
Instruction
.
No
more
Words
,
cry'd
Anselm
,
with
a
Matrimonial
Frown
;
and
so
saying
,
flung
out
of
her
Company
.
The
next
day
Lothario
came
to
visit
Camilla
,
who
receiv'd
him
with
all
the
Modesty
imaginable
;
and
she
had
taken
such
care
,
that
she
would
not
be
a
moment
in
the
Room
,
without
some
body
by
her
,
especially
Lyonella
,
a
Maid
that
had
been
bred
up
with
her
,
and
for
whom
she
had
a
very
great
Kindness
.
For
the
three
first
Days
Lothario
said
nothing
to
her
,
tho
he
had
Opportunity
enough
while
the
Servants
were
at
Dinner
.
Of
which
Camilla
being
well
aware
,
order'd
Lyonella
for
the
future
to
dine
before
the
rest
,
that
she
might
continually
have
her
by
her
.
But
the
giddy
Girl
,
having
other
Crotchets
in
her
Head
,
and
not
caring
to
stay
long
in
a
place
,
many
times
took
Occasions
to
leave
Lothario
and
her
Mistress
alone
.
Nevertheless
Lothario
still
forbore
to
take
Opportunity
by
the
Forelock
,
whether
it
were
,
that
he
could
not
find
in
his
heart
to
injure
his
Friend
,
or
whether
he
thought
it
too
much
below
a
Gentleman
to
wrong
a
Lady
that
treated
him
with
so
much
Civility
;
or
perhaps
because
,
tho
Camilla
were
beautiful
and
free
in
her
Behaviour
,
yet
the
Gravity
and
Reserv'dness
of
her
Carriage
struck
such
an
Awe
into
him
,
that
restrain'd
the
loose
Attempts
of
his
irregular
Desires
.
But
at
length
this
Constraint
that
Lothario
put
upon
himself
,
and
all
his
long
Silence
,
produc'd
an
Effect
quite
contrary
to
his
laudable
Intentions
.
For
at
length
the
Charms
of
her
Beauty
made
that
Impression
in
his
Mind
,
which
he
had
been
all
along
so
much
afraid
of
;
and
while
he
only
thought
to
behold
her
with
a
modest
and
becoming
Respect
,
he
began
to
admire
her
,
and
to
look
upon
her
with
so
much
Delight
,
that
he
could
not
unfix
his
Eyes
from
their
beloved
Object
.
In
a
word
,
Love
stole
insensibly
into
his
Heart
,
and
had
made
a
great
Progress
before
he
perceiv'd
it
.
But
when
he
found
himself
over
Shoes
,
over
Boots
,
and
that
his
Heart
was
all
of
a
Blaze
,
beyond
the
Quenching
of
the
City
Engines
;
then
what
a
Toil
,
what
a
Bustle
,
what
a
Clutter
was
there
?
What
eager
Disputes
and
Contests
,
fiercer
then
these
of
Whigg
and
Tory
,
between
Treachery
and
Honour
?
What
Duels
and
Combats
between
growing
Passion
,
and
Breach
of
Friendship
?
What
Hiccups
and
Checks
of
Conscience
,
and
Reproaches
of
common
Morality
?
Piety
also
and
Religion
were
come
as
far
as
the
Grounsel
of
his
Heart
;
but
Satan
spying
'em
,
presently
stept
to
the
Door
,
and
barr'd
it
against
'
em
.
He
repented
a
thousand
times
his
rash
Compliance
with
the
Folly
of
his
Friend
.
So
that
at
length
it
came
to
a
pitch'd
Battel
between
his
Vertues
and
his
Passions
,
under
the
Command
of
Honour
and
Fidelity
o'
the
one
side
,
impatient
Desire
and
lawless
Pleasure
on
the
other
side
;
and
the
Conflict
was
obstinately
maintain'd
,
till
Camilla's
Beauty
and
Anselm's
Destiny
,
to
punish
his
Imprudence
,
coming
in
with
a
fresh
Reinforcement
,
put
Virtue
and
Christianity
to
flight
,
with
the
loss
Honour
and
Fidelity
slain
upon
the
place
.
And
now
Lothario
,
believing
the
Resistance
of
three
Days
sufficient
to
excuse
his
Disloyalty
to
his
Friend
,
as
one
that
thought
himself
no
longer
oblig'd
to
hold
out
,
where
he
saw
no
possibility
of
being
reliev'd
,
let
loose
the
Reins
of
his
Passion
,
and
boldly
discover'd
the
Violence
of
his
Love
to
Camilla
.
On
the
other
side
,
Camilla
,
strangely
surpriz'd
to
find
her self
so
vigorously
,
so
suddenly
,
and
so
unexpectedly
assail'd
,
said
not
a
word
,
but
rising
hastily
from
her
Chair
,
retir'd
into
her
Chamber
.
But
this
disdainful
Repulse
nothing
daunted
Lothario
,
rather
it
begat
in
him
a
higher
Esteem
of
her
Person
;
and
that
esteem
adding
Fewel
to
his
Flames
,
he
resolv'd
to
prosecute
his
Design
.
In
the
mean
time
Camilla
,
after
a
long
Consultation
with
her self
what
Course
to
take
,
at
length
concluded
to
withdraw
her self
from
Lothario's
Company
;
and
in
the
Evening
sent
a
Lacquey
away
to
her
Husband
,
with
the
following
Letter
to
recall
him
home
.
CHAP.
VII
.
The
Sequel
of
the
Novel
of
the
Curious
Impertinent
.
My
Dear
;
YOU
have
shew'd
an
extraordinary
Confidence
in
leaving
me
alone
,
and
I
find
my self
highly
oblig'd
to
ye
for
it
.
But
I
cannot
think
it
so
discreetly
done
,
or
that
you
are
so
jealous
as
you
ought
,
of
a
Happiness
,
which
you
pretend
so
highly
to
esteem
.
For
my
own
part
,
considering
the
real
and
tender
Affection
I
have
for
yee
,
I
am
not
able
any
longer
to
endure
your
Absence
,
finding
my self
so
melancholy
,
and
so
disturb'd
i'
my
Thoughts
,
that
if
you
do
not
speedily
return
,
I
must
be
forc'd
to
go
home
to
my
Father
.
For
,
to
tell
ye
Truth
,
I
am
afraid
that
the
person
,
whom
yee
have
entrusted
with
the
care
of
your
Family
,
minds
more
his
own
,
then
your
Concerns
.
But
you
are
wise
and
prudent
,
and
therefore
I
shall
say
no
more
.
By
this
Letter
Anselm
saw
that
Lothario
had
been
true
to
his
Promise
,
and
that
Camilla
had
done
her
Duty
;
and
being
overjoy'd
at
so
happy
a
Beginning
,
sent
back
word
to
his
Wife
,
That
she
should
by
no
means
stir
from
her
House
,
for
that
it
would
not
be
long
before
he
terurn'd
.
Camilla
was
in
an
Amaze
to
read
Anselm's
Answer
,
as
that
which
put
her
into
a
greater
Confusion
then
she
was
in
before
.
For
neither
could
she
well
stay
at
home
,
where
her
Chastity
was
so
brisk'ly
assail'd
by
Lothario
,
neither
durst
she
return
to
her
Father
,
for
fear
of
displeasing
her
Husband
.
At
length
,
after
long
Debate
with
her
own
Thoughts
,
unfortunately
she
chose
the
worst
Resolution
,
which
was
,
to
stay
in
her
House
,
and
to
keep
Lothario
Company
,
as
she
was
wont
to
do
,
for
fear
of
giving
an
Occasion
of
Suspicion
to
the
Servants
.
She
repented
also
,
that
she
had
written
to
her
Husband
,
afraid
that
she
had
thereby
made
him
jealous
of
Lothario
;
especially
believing
her self
so
secure
of
her self
,
that
she
could
be
in
no
danger
of
any
Attempts
that
he
could
make
:
So
that
by
writing
to
her
Husband
,
she
had
only
discover'd
her
Weakness
and
the
Mistrust
she
had
of
her
own
Constancy
.
With
this
Resolution
,
so
prudent
in
Appearance
,
but
so
fallacious
in
the
Event
,
Camilla
suffer'd
her
Ears
to
lie
open
to
Lothario's
Temptations
;
and
he
spurr'd
on
by
his
Passion
,
and
finding
the
Opportunity
so
favourable
,
manag'd
his
Artillery
so
like
a
cunning
Marksman
,
that
he
never
miss'd
a
Shot
;
and
so
mollify'd
her
with
the
Charms
of
his
endearing
and
amorous
Discourses
,
that
Camilla's
Constancy
began
to
totter
;
insomuch
that
she
had
much
ado
to
stifle
the
Discoveries
of
a
surrendring
Compassion
,
which
Lothario's
Tears
,
and
tender
Expressions
had
wrought
in
her
Breast
.
All
which
being
diligently
observ'd
by
Lothario
,
redoubl'd
his
Passion
,
and
gave
him
full
assurance
that
he
should
not
find
Camilla
so
invincible
as
Penelope
.
Upon
this
,
Lothario
fell
on
Pell-mell
again
,
and
cunningly
storm'd
her
weakest
,
and
most
defenceless
part
,
with
the
tickling
Praises
of
her
Beauty
.
For
there
is
nothing
sooner
lays
in
Ruins
the
lofty
Towers
and
Fortresses
of
female
Vanity
,
then
when
that
Vanity
it self
is
the
Engine
dextrously
manag'd
by
Adulation
and
Flattery
.
So
that
had
Camilla
been
a
Tower
of
Brass
,
I
question
whether
such
Underminings
as
these
would
not
have
levell'd
her
with
the
Earth
.
He
wept
,
he
begg'd
,
he
vow'd
,
he
swore
and
forswore
;
yet
with
such
a
rarely
counterfeited
shew
of
Truth
and
Reality
,
that
at
length
,
eluding
all
Camilla's
Care
of
her
Honour
,
he
vanquish'd
that
which
he
never
dreamt
,
tho
most
desir'd
,
to
triumph
over
.
Camilla
surrendred
,
Camilla
yielded
:
An
evident
Example
,
that
the
Passions
of
Love
are
only
vanquish'd
by
flight
,
and
that
there
is
no
encountering
hand
to
hand
such
potent
Adversaries
.
However
,
Lionella
the
Chamber-maid
,
forsooth
,
was
only
privy
to
her
Mistress's
failings
;
from
whom
't
was
impossible
for
those
two
false
Friends
,
and
new
Lovers
to
conceal
the
Secret
.
Nor
would
Lothario
discover
to
Camilla
,
that
Anselm
had
laid
this
Trap
for
himself
,
lest
she
should
think
his
Sollicitation
to
have
been
meerly
accidental
,
and
what
he
never
intended
,
had
not
the
Opportunity
been
thrown
into
his
Hands
.
Soon
after
Anselm
return'd
,
and
wonderfully
pleas'd
with
Lothario's
fulfilling
his
Promise
,
with
his
usual
Impatience
,
went
to
visit
his
dear
Friend
,
to
know
of
him
,
what
farther
Progress
he
had
made
.
Anselm
,
said
Lothario
,
embracing
him
,
thou
mayst
boast
thy self
the
Husband
of
a
matchless
Wife
,
and
one
whom
all
other
Women
ought
to
look
upon
as
the
Ornament
of
their
Sex
,
and
a
Pattern
by
which
to
govern
themselves
.
S'life
—
I
ha'
been
all
this
while
basting
Flints
with
Butter
,
talking
and
swearing
to
the
Wind
—
She
laugh'd
at
my
Tears
—
and
scorn'd
my
Presents
—
I
found
her
chast
,
even
to
Admiration
—
and
immoveable
as
Pen-men
Maur
.
In
a
word
,
her
Vertue
is
equal
to
her
Beauty
,
and
thou
art
happy
among
Men
—
And
therefore
here
,
my
dear
Friend
—
here
's
your
Money
again
—
for
,
alas
!
had
it
been
a
whole
Mine
—
or
the
whole
Cargo
of
the
Plate-fleet
,
I
found
Camilla
was
not
to
be
tempted
by
all
the
Gewgaws
in
both
Exchanges
.
And
therefore
Anselm
,
satisfie
thy self
with
the
peaceable
Enjoyment
of
thy
happy
Fortune
,
without
making
any
farther
Trials
;
which
is
the
best
Counsel
I
can
give
thee
,
as
a
Friend
,
and
the
only
fruit
which
I
desire
to
reap
by
my
Complaisency
to
thy
extravagant
Humour
.
Anselm
having
heard
this
pleasing
Fable
,
was
ready
to
leap
out
of
his
Skin
for
Joy
,
extoll'd
his
Friend
to
the
Skie
,
and
gave
him
more
Thanks
,
then
if
he
had
redeem'd
him
from
the
Turkish
Gallies
;
but
not
being
as
yet
fully
satisfy'd
,
he
desir'd
him
to
continue
his
Courtship
,
tho
not
with
the
same
Importunity
as
before
;
and
in
regard
that
Verses
would
cost
him
nothing
,
he
likewise
intreated
him
to
send
her
now
and
then
a
Copy
,
under
the
borrow'd
Name
of
Cloris
;
of
which
he
would
take
no
farther
Notice
,
then
as
only
sent
to
his
Wife
for
her
Approbation
,
as
being
intended
to
another
.
To
which
,
Lothario
,
whose
Courtship
was
no
longer
now
a
burthen
to
him
,
readily
consented
.
And
thus
the
impertinent
Cully
,
and
the
disloyal
Friend
being
both
agreed
,
Anselm
went
home
;
and
after
he
had
embrac'd
and
kiss'd
his
Wife
;
Honey
,
quo
he
,
what
's
the
reason
you
sent
me
such
a
Letter
into
the
Country
—
?
Why
truly
,
my
Dear
,
answer'd
Camilla
,
methought
at
first
,
that
Lothario
began
to
be
a
little
more
familiar
with
me
in
your
Absence
then
became
him
;
but
afterwards
I
found
't
was
a
meer
Fancy
o'
my
own
;
however
,
I
was
glad
of
any
Pretence
to
hast'n
your
Return
—
Puh
—
cry'd
Anselm
!
a
meer
Fancy
indeed
—
for
to
my
Knowledge
he
's
up
to
the
hard
Ears
in
Love
with
a
young
Lady
i'
the
Town
here
,
to
whom
he
writes
Verses
under
the
Name
of
Cloris
;
besides
,
I
am
so
well
assur'd
of
his
Vertue
and
Friendship
,
that
there
's
no
room
for
the
least
Suspicion
of
Lothario
—
Who
,
my
Friend
Lothario
—
!
I
'le
trust
him
,
tho
't
were
as
long
as
an
East-India-Voyage
—
This
Fable
of
Cloris
might
have
bred
ill
Blood
between
Camilla
and
her
new
Gallant
,
had
not
Lothario
told
her
before
of
his
Intention
to
put
this
same
Sham
of
Cloris
upon
Anselm
,
that
he
might
have
the
more
Liberty
to
write
to
her
at
any
time
,
without
being
suspected
by
her
Husband
.
And
some
few
Days
after
,
as
they
were
sitting
all
three
together
,
Anselm
desir'd
Lothario
to
repeat
some
of
those
Verses
which
he
had
made
in
the
Praise
of
Cloris
;
which
he
might
be
the
more
bold
to
do
,
in
regard
that
Camilla
knew
not
who
she
was
.
What
if
she
did
,
reply'd
Lothario
?
I
should
be
ne're
a
whit
the
more
scrupulous
for
that
;
seeing
a
Lover
never
injures
the
Person
he
loves
,
tho
he
complain
of
her
Rigour
,
at
the
same
time
that
he
praises
her
Beauty
.
However
,
let
'em
be
good
or
bad
,
here
they
be
,
such
as
they
are
,
which
I
made
Yesterday
upon
Cloris's
Ingratitude
—
They
're
short
you
see
,
but
whether
as
sweet
,
that
you
must
judge
.
I.
IN
depth
of
silent
Night
,
When
all
men
are
asleep
;
Or
each
one
kissing
of
his
own
Delight
,
I
lie
alone
and
fondly
weep
For
Cloris
,
my
dear
Jewel
.
Cloris
,
ah
Cloris
—
that
same
sacred
She
!
That
for
to
bauk
a
common
Simile
,
No
Tygress
is
;
But
yet
as
fierce
a
Leopardess
,
All
cover'd
o're
with
Beauty-spots
,
but
cruel
.
II
.
When
Morning
comes
,
the
same
Complaints
I
make
,
And
half
asleep
,
and
half
awake
,
I
make
enquiry
where
the
charming
Whore
is
?
Streight
my
thoughts
check
me
for
abusing
Cloris
—
And
I
confess
,
't
was
rashly
done
—
for
why
?
Cloris
,
that
I
'd
so
fain
enjoy
,
Has
but
one
Fault
,
She
's
lovely
,
but
confounded
coy
.
III
.
Then
up
I
get
,
and
go
to
visit
Cloris
—
But
Mrs.
Mary
with
her
Flim-flam
Stories
,
Cloris
is
sick
,
quo
she
,
not
to
be
seen
,
Or
gone
to
Temple-Church
or
Lincoln's-Inn
.
Thus
I
return'd
undone
,
And
come
again
i'
the
Afternoon
;
But
then
she
's
got
to
Lantralow
,
And
Hell
can't
move
her
for
an
hour
or
two
.
IV
.
Thus
Phoebus
sets
,
and
Night
comes
on
again
,
And
then
of
Cloris
I
to
Heav'n
complain
,
Of
Heav'n
to
Cloris
,
For
mustring
in
her
Face
those
killing
Glories
;
Believing
too
,
The
Gods
might
remedy
the
Matter
;
But
after
all
,
I'm
ne're
the
better
:
I
Cloris
woe
,
And
pray
the
Gods
to
mollifie
her
Heart
;
But
,
Oh!
what
signifies
it
?
not
one
F
—
t
:
The
Gods
are
deaf
,
and
Cloris
will
not
hear
,
And
all
because
she
's
coy
,
that
is
so
fair
.
The
Verses
pleas'd
Camilla
,
but
Anselm
extoll'd
'em
to
the
Skies
.
For
he
thought
it
unreasonable
,
as
one
who
thought
he
had
not
been
serv'd
so
himself
,
that
a
young
Lady
,
because
she
was
a
little
more
then
ordinary
Snout-fair
,
should
be
so
cruel
to
a
Gentleman
that
sought
her
early
and
late
with
so
much
Affection
.
Why
,
said
Camilla
,
do
all
Lovers
speak
truth
in
their
Verses
?
As
Poets
,
answer'd
Lothario
,
perhaps
they
may
strain
a
little
,
but
as
Lovers
,
they
speak
less
then
they
might
do
.
't
is
too
true
,
reply'd
Anselm
,
as
being
resolv'd
to
justifie
Lothario
whatever
he
said
,
and
to
keep
up
his
Reputation
with
Camilla
.
A
needless
Toil
,
God
wot
,
to
disguise
his
Thoughts
to
her
,
that
was
already
so
much
devoted
to
Lothario
,
that
she
never
minded
her
Husbands
Artifices
to
ruin
himself
.
For
now
Camilla
was
desperately
in
Love
with
Lothario
,
and
whatever
he
said
,
was
acceptable
to
her
,
without
any
need
of
the
witty
Cuckold's
blind
Apologies
.
Which
was
the
reason
that
she
desir'd
Lothario
,
if
he
had
any
more
Verses
about
him
,
to
let
her
hear
'
em
.
Why
Faith
,
Madam
,
answer'd
Lothario
,
I
have
one
Copy
more
i'
my
Pocket
;
of
which
I
have
no
better
Opinion
then
of
the
former
,
however
,
they
're
at
your
Service
.
I
Can't
believe
,
that
ever
Men
could
bear
The
pains
and
torments
which
they
swear
They
suffer
for
a
Womans
Beauty
.
Then
they
must
dye
,
as
now
Poor
I
resolve
to
do
.
For
Cloris
false
Disdain
is
such
a
Curse
,
That
could
a
Beast
but
love
,
't
would
kill
a
Horse
.
Go
hang
your self
—
th'
ingrateful
Cloris
cries
.
What
Lover
now
,
but
up
wou'd
puke
His
very
Soul
at
such
a
fierce
Rebuke
?
Besides
—
the
Man
that
never
ly'd
,
Has
sworn
he
can't
out-live
fair
Cloris
Pride
;
And
shall
I
be
forsworn
,
When
I
can
dye
—
and
laugh
at
Cloris
scorn
?
II
.
No
—
now
I
think
on
't
,
I
will
dye
To
shew
the
World
the
Rigour
of
the
Maid
—
That
I
should
be
so
ill
repay'd
For
all
my
Services
and
Trouble
,
Thus
to
be
made
a
meer
Town-Bubble
.
And
then
that
she
should
have
a
Heart
So
quite
regardless
of
my
smart
,
While
panting
,
gasping
on
the
Ground
I
lye
,
To
see
me
at
her
Velvet
Slippers
dye
.
III
.
But
when
by
Death
I
have
thrown
off
her
Fetters
,
Then
let
her
see
My
Love
and
Constancy
Deeply
engrav'd
upon
my
Heart
,
In
Poticary's
Letters
.
Then
like
some
Sister
,
Sermon-terrify'd
,
Reflecting
on
thy
Murd'rous
Pride
,
Cloris
,
make
hast
into
thy
Closet
,
And
there
take
off
a
Rats-bane
Posset
,
To
expiate
my
injur'd
Ghost
,
That
for
thy
sake
an
Amorous
Body
lost
.
Anselm
,
who
to
the
unmarrying
of
himself
,
was
still
wedded
to
his
own
Design
,
applauded
these
Verses
no
less
then
he
had
done
the
former
.
Like
a
kind
Cuckold
,
that
never
thinks
the
Chain
of
his
entanglement
long
enough
,
continually
caressing
the
Person
that
daily
lickt
his
Cream-Pot
,
and
left
him
only
the
Whey
;
while
the
Legerdemain
his
Wife
play'd
him
all
the
while
,
only
serv'd
to
advance
her
the
more
in
the
good
Opinion
and
Affection
of
the
Knight
of
the
Forked
Order
.
A
while
after
,
Camilla
being
alone
with
her
trusty
Lionella
,
Nothing
vexes
me
,
quo
she
,
but
that
I'
m
afraid
I
yielded
up
my
Fort
a
little
too
soon
;
and
that
Lothario
,
when
he
considers
my
weakness
,
will
despise
the
Happiness
that
cost
him
so
little
.
And
yet
his
Enchantments
were
such
,
that
I
don't
believe
St.
Winifred
her self
could
have
withstood
'em
—
Lord
!
Madam
,
why
should
you
think
so
?
quo
Lionella
—
Rather
believe
your
easie
kindness
must
redouble
his
acknowledgment
.
Let
me
tell
ye
,
Madam
,
if
the
Gift
be
worth
giving
,
the
Gift
is
never
a
whit
to
be
the
less
esteem'd
,
because
easily
parted
with
by
the
Donor
—
Come
—
come
—
Mistress
,
That
which
is
readily
given
,
is
twice
given
—
That
's
answer'd
by
another
Proverb
,
cry'd
Camilla
,
The
more
Cost
,
the
more
Worship
—
That
's
nothing
to
the
purpose
,
answer'd
Lionella
;
for
if
it
be
true
What
I
have
heard
,
Love
observes
no
certain
Rules
:
Sometimes
it
flies
,
sometimes
it
goes
a
foot
—
Sometimes
runs
,
sometimes
walks
,
as
if
he
were
following
a
Herse
—
Sometimes
as
cool
as
a
Blood-stone
,
sometimes
all
Fire
and
Tow
—
And
here
the
Wood
and
the
Flame
met
as
it
shou'd
do
—
The
fuel
was
dry
,
and
the
flame
was
hot
—
Nature
will
have
its
course
—
If
you
the
sooner
yielded
,
't
was
because
Lothario
was
the
more
violent
.
Anselm
was
gone
,
but
no
body
knew
how
soon
he
might
return
—
And
therefore
Love
,
like
a
Politician
,
always
takes
Opportunity
by
the
fore-lock
.
And
this
,
Madam
,
I
know
as
well
by
Experience
,
as
by
Hear-say
—
for
I
shall
give
ye
to
understand
one
day
,
that
I
am
made
of
Flesh
and
Blood
as
well
as
others
.
Nor
did
you
yield
so
soon
neither
,
till
you
saw
his
very
Soul
in
his
Eyes
,
in
his
Sighs
,
in
his
Vows
,
Promises
,
and
Presents
;
and
you
beheld
him
in
his
Vertues
,
and
the
Perfections
of
his
Mind
,
a
Person
fit
for
your
Embraces
.
And
therefore
,
Madam
,
never
cling
up
your
Guts
with
these
Hypochondriacal
Scruples
,
but
be
merry
and
chearful
;
and
believe
Lothario
has
the
same
esteem
for
you
,
as
you
have
for
him
.
Believe
that
he
does
not
only
Challenge
the
three
F
F
F's
,
which
all
true
Lovers
ought
to
have
,
but
you
may
run
through
the
whole
Alphabet
in
his
Praise
.
As
for
Example
:
He
is
Amorous
,
Bountiful
,
Courtly
,
Desperate
,
Enamour'd
,
(
I
omit
the
F's
,
as
unquestionable
)
Gallant
,
Hair-brain'd
,
Jocund
,
Lusty
,
Mild
,
Noble
,
Open-hearted
,
Patient
,
Quaint
,
Rich
,
Serious
,
True
,
Valiant
,
Wise
,
the
Devil
take
X
,
there
's
nothing
will
fit
him
,
Young
,
and
your
Zealous
Adorer
.
And
now
,
Madam
,
what
would
ye
ha
more
?
Camilla
could
not
choose
but
smile
at
her
Maids
Alphabet
;
yet
on
the
other
side
,
she
could
not
but
wonder
to
hear
so
young
a
Questrel
as
she
,
discourse
with
all
the
Experience
of
an
Orange-Moll
,
or
a
Betty-Mackarel
.
Which
she
perceiving
—
By
my
truly
,
Mistress
,
quo
she
,
don't
you
believe
I
ha'
spent
my
time
idly
;
for
I
must
tell
ye
,
I
ha'
brought
,
a
Young
Mercer's
Prentice
i'
this
Town
to
my
Lure
already
—
I
warrant
ye
,
Madam
,
he
's
my
own
—
't
is
true
,
he
's
not
out
of
his
Time
—
But
what
o'
that
?
—
Dukes-Place
is
free
for
all
comers
and
goers
—
Nay
,
to
tell
ye
the
truth
,
Madam
,
the
business
is
done
already
,
one
way
or
other
—
't
is
no
matter
which
way
,
so
't
be
done
—
Camilla
was
not
a
little
troubl'd
to
hear
her
Maid
talk
at
that
rate
;
but
then
again
considering
,
that
it
was
not
for
Satan
to
correct
Sin
,
all
she
could
do
,
was
to
desire
Lionella
to
be
careful
how
she
discover'd
to
her
Sweet-heart
the
Intrigue
between
her
and
Lothario
;
and
so
to
manage
her
own
concerns
,
that
neither
Lothario
nor
Anselm
might
discover
her
Amours
.
Which
Lionella
not
only
promis'd
,
but
also
swore
with
all
Exactness
and
Duty
to
her
Mistress
,
to
perform
.
Nevertheless
the
Lecherous
Baggage
,
finding
she
had
the
Key
of
her
Mistress's
Secrets
,
and
that
her
Mistress
was
now
become
her
Slave
(
a
main
Misfortune
that
attends
the
forbidden
Pleasures
of
Women
)
and
therefore
knowing
no
Reason
why
she
might
not
have
a
little
sport
as
well
as
her
Mistress
,
became
so
bold
,
as
to
invite
her
Sweet-heart
to
Anselm's
House
,
and
let
him
into
the
very
Apartments
belonging
to
her
Mistress
;
who
now
(
so
strangely
had
her
own
misfortunes
turn
d
the
Tide
)
afraid
of
her
own
shadow
,
was
forc'd
to
turn
Pandress
to
her
Servant
,
and
to
be
serviceable
to
her
,
in
assisting
her
to
conceal
her
Paramour
,
lest
her
Husband
should
come
to
know
it
.
Yet
all
her
care
and
caution
could
not
so
contrive
it
,
but
that
one
morning
Lothario
discover'd
Lionella's
Gallant
coming
out
of
Anselm's
House
:
Which
so
surpriz'd
Lothario
at
first
,
that
not
believing
his
Eyes
,
he
took
it
for
an
Apparition
;
but
perceiving
the
fellow
rid
Ground
,
like
one
with
his
Nose
muffl'd
up
in
his
Cloak
,
newly
disimbogu'd
out
of
Whetstone's
Park
;
and
thereby
conjecturing
that
he
was
one
who
was
unwilling
to
be
known
,
and
at
the
same
time
never
dreaming
of
Lionella
,
no
more
then
he
did
of
the
Empress
of
Morocco
,
suspected
him
to
be
some
body
that
Camilla
treated
with
no
less
Courtesan
Civility
then
himself
.
Which
awaken'd
such
an
inveterate
Jealousie
in
his
Soul
,
that
he
resolv'd
to
be
forthwith
reveng'd
of
the
poor
Lady
.
To
which
purpose
,
quitting
all
his
former
Considerations
,
and
his
reflective
Humour
,
he
briskly
enters
Anselm's
House
,
and
going
up
into
his
Chamber
,
without
giving
him
time
to
rise
,
Anselm
,
said
he
,
I
have
been
for
some
days
striving
with
my self
to
conceal
from
thee
a
Secret
,
which
it
highly
imports
thee
to
know
;
but
at
length
the
Friendship
which
I
ow'd
thee
,
will
no
longer
suffer
me
to
conceal
it
.
Know
then
,
in
short
,
that
I
have
won
the
Fortress
,
and
Camilla
can
no
longer
boast
her
Constancy
.
If
I
did
not
sooner
make
thee
this
Discovery
,
't
was
,
because
I
was
not
well
assur'd
whether
it
were
the
weakness
of
thy
Wife
,
or
a
trick
to
try
whether
I
spoke
in
earnest
.
Therefore
I
staid
a
while
,
expecting
she
would
have
told
thee
of
my
Importunity
;
but
when
I
found
she
kept
the
Secret
close
,
then
I
made
no
further
question
,
but
that
she
resolv'd
to
keep
her
word
,
in
allowing
me
the
Liberty
which
I
desir'd
,
as
soon
as
thou
wert
gone
into
the
Country
.
However
,
Anselm
,
let
not
this
Secret
,
which
I
have
entrusted
in
thy
Bosom
,
transport
thee
to
Extravagance
;
for
after
all
,
Camilla
has
not
yet
in
Act
offended
;
so
that
perhaps
she
may
recollect
her self
,
and
repent
the
Condescension
she
has
made
.
And
therefore
,
as
thou
hast
follow'd
my
Counsel
hitherto
,
be
rul'd
by
me
yet
a
little
more
:
Pretend
to
go
into
the
Country
for
two
or
three
days
,
and
find
some
way
to
hide
thy self
in
the
Chamber
,
then
we
shall
see
how
she
will
behave
her self
,
and
what
Resolution
it
will
become
thee
to
take
.
Anselm
stood
like
one
that
had
met
his
Father's
Ghost
,
to
hear
Lothario
thus
discourse
,
at
a
time
when
he
least
expected
such
a
Morning
Salem
;
when
his
Thoughts
began
to
be
at
rest
,
as
being
fully
satisfy'd
in
Camilla's
Conquests
.
But
then
,
as
one
that
had
lost
his
Senses
,
sadly
beholding
Lothario
,
You
have
done
,
said
he
,
what
I
expected
from
your
Friendship
:
now
advise
me
what
course
to
take
;
for
I
depend
entirely
upon
your
Discretion
.
Lothario
,
on
the
other
side
,
not
knowing
what
to
say
to
him
in
that
pensive
Condition
,
embrac'd
Anselm
,
and
brush'd
away
in
hast
out
of
the
Room
.
But
when
he
was
gone
,
he
began
to
repent
of
what
he
had
done
,
by
exposing
Camilla
so
inconsiderately
,
of
whom
he
might
have
taken
his
Revenge
with
less
Danger
,
and
less
to
her
Reproach
.
However
,
not
being
able
to
recall
Yesterday
,
nor
to
find
any
Expedient
to
reconcile
the
matter
,
he
resolv'd
to
tell
Camilla
himself
,
and
that
with
all
the
speed
he
could
,
as
one
that
had
free
Access
to
her
at
all
times
.
And
now
was
Anselm
just
gone
abroad
,
when
Lothario
enter'd
;
to
whom
Camilla
,
finding
they
were
both
alone
together
,
My
dear
Lothario
,
said
she
,
I
have
a
thing
to
tell
thee
in
thy
Ear
,
that
troubles
me
more
then
any
thing
i'
the
World
;
and
the
rather
,
because
I
dread
the
Consequences
of
it
.
Lionella
has
a
Sweet
heart
,
and
the
Baggage
is
grown
so
impudent
,
that
she
brings
him
into
her
Chamber
every
Night
,
and
there
keeps
him
till
Morning
:
Judge
ye
now
how
this
wicked
Wench
exposes
me
to
scandal
;
for
what
will
People
think
,
to
see
a
Young
Fellow
let
out
at
the
Back-door
at
such
unseasonable
hours
?
And
that
which
vexes
me
most
is
,
that
I
dare
not
so
much
as
murmur
against
this
insolent
Slut
,
for
fear
of
bringing
an
Old
House
over
my
own
Head
:
For
if
she
once
begins
to
open
against
me
,
I
am
a
lost
Woman
—
Sweet
Meat
has
always
sowre
Sawce
,
Lothario
—
Prethee
consider
and
study
my
Repose
.
At
first
,
Lothario
thought
that
this
same
story
had
been
onely
a
Device
of
Camilla's
,
to
make
him
believe
that
the
fellow
he
saw
come
out
of
the
House
,
was
Lionella's
Sweet
heart
;
but
when
he
saw
her
all
in
Tears
,
and
found
what
she
said
to
be
true
,
he
was
no
less
perplex'd
then
She
.
However
,
at
length
he
gave
her
to
understand
that
there
was
a
worse
mischief
had
befall'n
'em
then
all
that
;
and
after
he
had
begg'd
her
a
hundred
Pardons
,
he
up
and
told
her
what
the
transports
of
his
Jealousie
had
bewitch'd
him
to
discover
to
Anselm
;
and
that
he
had
perswaded
him
to
hide
himself
in
his
Closet
,
that
he
might
be
a
Witness
of
their
farther
Proceedings
.
Such
a
terrible
Thunder-clap
as
this
had
like
to
have
over-whelm'd
Camilla
to
the
Earth
:
But
as
if
her
Indignation
had
supported
her
,
she
flew
out
in
a
great
rage
against
Lothario
;
call'd
him
ten
thousand
Traytors
,
and
upbraided
his
rash
and
inconsiderate
Folly
;
and
began
desperately
to
threaten
her
own
Life
;
insomuch
that
Lothario
threw
himself
at
her
feet
,
like
one
in
despair
,
not
daring
so
much
as
to
look
up
,
or
speak
a
word
.
Till
at
length
his
Tears
and
his
Sighs
mollify'd
Camilla
,
who
having
a
prompt
and
ready
wit
,
as
most
Women
have
,
who
tho
they
cannot
write
like
Scotus
or
Thomas
Aquinas
,
yet
are
plaguy
nimble
at
an
Amorous
Contrivance
,
began
to
take
heart
a'
grace
,
and
having
thought
upon
an
Invention
to
repair
the
folly
of
her
Gallant
,
she
the
more
easily
pardon'd
him
a
fault
which
he
had
never
committed
,
but
out
of
too
much
Affection
:
Only
she
bid
him
be
sure
to
keep
Anselm
steady
to
his
Resolution
,
of
hiding
himself
in
the
Chamber
;
assuring
him
that
it
would
be
a
means
to
procure
a
Liberty
to
enjoy
one
another
with
more
freedom
then
ever
.
Lothario
press'd
her
to
tell
him
her
Design
,
that
he
might
be
the
better
able
to
observe
her
Directions
;
but
she
excus'd
her self
,
only
bid
him
come
when
she
sent
for
him
,
and
answer
to
every
Question
that
she
should
propose
,
punctually
,
as
if
he
thought
Anselm
did
not
hear
him
.
The
next
day
Anselm
got
a
Horse-back
,
under
pretence
of
going
to
visit
a
Friend
in
the
Country
;
and
presently
returning
home
again
,
went
and
hid
himself
privately
in
his
Wives
Chamber
,
where
he
settl'd
himself
to
his
hearts
content
,
without
being
disturb'd
by
either
his
Wife
or
Lionella
,
who
had
no
desire
to
trouble
him
.
And
now
Camilla
and
Lionella
,
being
well
assur'd
that
he
was
safe
in
his
lurking-hole
,
enter'd
the
Chamber
;
where
Camilla
had
no
sooner
set
her
foot
over
the
Threshold
,
but
after
she
had
fetch'd
a
deep
sigh
,
Ah!
Lionella
,
quo
she
,
thou
never
could'st
divine
,
I
know
,
why
I
have
so
often
ask'd
thee
for
thy
Master's
Dagger
;
but
now
what
thinkst
?
Were
it
not
better
for
me
to
strike
it
to
my
Heart
,
then
thus
be
expos'd
to
his
continu'd
Importunities
—
?
But
stay
,
I
'le
first
send
for
this
persidious
Lothario
,
and
know
of
him
,
what
he
saw
in
my
Face
,
that
should
encourage
him
to
make
his
debauch'd
Addresses
to
me
,
so
offensive
to
my
Ears
,
and
no
less
injurious
to
the
best
Friend
he
has
in
the
World
.
Look
out
,
Lionella
,
into
the
Street
,
and
call
him
,
for
I
am
confident
the
Traitor
stands
watching
under
the
Window
for
this
Opportunity
,
so
favourable
as
he
thinks
for
the
Satisfaction
of
his
lewd
Desires
;
but
he
shall
find
that
my
Desires
and
his
are
not
the
same
—
For
God's-sake
,
Madam
,
cry'd
the
witty
Lionella
,
what
d'
ye
intend
to
do
with
that
same
Dagger
—
?
Will
you
kill
your self
,
or
Lothario
?
Forbid
it
Heavens
!
for
either
way
you
lose
your
Credit
,
and
your
Reputation
—
Alack-a-day
,
Madam
,
you
will
do
much
better
to
dissemble
the
Injuries
offer'd
you
by
a
leacherous
Ruffian
,
then
to
let
in
a
lustful
Hector
upon
a
couple
of
feeble
Women
,
not
able
to
help
themselves
.
Who
knows
,
when
he
finds
us
thus
all
alone
,
but
that
he
may
bind
us
both
,
and
then
ravish
us
—
?
Or
if
he
should
be
a
little
civil
to
you
for
my
Master's
sake
,
he
will
be
sure
to
fall
upon
my
poor
Bones
.
And
o'
t'other
side
,
suppose
we
should
kill
him
—
for
I
find
that's
your
Design
—
what
good
will
you
get
by
't
,
Madam
?
Never
go
,
Madam
—
if
I
don't
tremble
to
think
on
't
.
Let
Anselm
do
as
he
pleases
,
answer'd
Camilla
,
for
my
part
,
I
am
resolv'd
upon
Revenge
:
Nay
,
methinks
the
time
that
I
lose
makes
me
guilty
of
the
Affront
I
have
receiv'd
;
and
that
I
commit
as
many
Defilements
of
my
Husband's
Bed
,
as
I
tarry
Minutes
from
Revenging
his
Dishonour
and
mine
.
Anselm
heard
all
these
female
Rodomantado's
behind
the
Tap'stry
,
and
still
made
various
Comments
to
himself
upon
every
word
Camilla
spoke
:
But
when
he
saw
her
so
fully
bent
to
kill
Lothario
,
he
was
then
about
to
have
discover'd
himself
,
to
save
his
Friend
.
But
at
length
resolving
to
see
what
Mettle
his
Wife
was
made
of
,
he
determin'd
to
stay
till
there
might
be
a
real
Occasion
for
him
to
interpose
.
In
the
mean
while
Camilla
,
having
over-strain'd
her self
with
the
Violence
of
her
Passion
,
threw
her self
upon
her
Bed
,
and
dropp'd
into
a
Swoon
;
or
at
least
,
Anselm
took
it
to
be
so
;
at
what
time
Lionella
fell
a
screaming
,
as
if
her
Mistress
had
been
breathing
her
last
Gasp
;
and
made
such
pitiful
Moans
and
Lamentations
,
that
no
Man
▪
but
would
ha'
thought
her
the
most
afflicted
Damsel
upon
Earth
.
Presently
Camilla
recovering
out
of
her
Trance
,
would
to
God
,
Wench
,
cry'd
she
to
Lionella
,
thou
wouldst
go
and
call
this
Infidel
,
for
a
second
Fit
will
utterly
disinable
me
to
take
my
Revenge
,
and
then
my
Resentment
will
vanish
in
fruitless
words
.
I
run
,
Madam
,
reply'd
Lionella
,
wiping
the
Tears
from
her
Eyes
.
But
I
beseech
ye
,
Madam
,
give
me
the
Dagger
out
o'
your
Hands
first
—
Do
as
I
bid
thee
,
cry'd
Camilla
,
make
haste
,
and
fear
nothing
—
I
am
resolv'd
to
revenge
my self
—
I
am
willing
to
die
—
but
first
Lothario's
Blood
shall
give
me
satisfaction
for
the
Injustice
he
has
done
me
.
However
,
Lionella
was
loath
to
leave
her
Mistress
alone
,
nor
would
she
stir
till
Camilla
began
to
rate
her
for
her
slowness
.
While
she
was
gone
,
Camilla
fell
a
walking
about
the
Chamber
like
a
Dunner
that
had
over
slept
himself
,
trudging
to
find
the
Gentleman
at
home
:
by
and
by
she
flung
her self
upon
her
Bed
;
then
up
again
;
discovering
her self
so
strangely
nettl'd
,
as
if
she
had
had
a
Gad-Bee
cling'd
to
her
Tail
—
No
,
no
,
cry'd
she
,
no
more
Consideration
—
hang
pondering
and
thinking
,
his
Death
is
determin'd
—
he
has
cost
me
showers
of
Tears
,
and
his
Life
must
pay
me
Interest
—
He
shall
never
boast
unpunish'd
,
that
he
has
attempted
Camilla's
Virtue
.
Uttering
these
words
,
up
she
got
again
,
and
about
the
Room
,
with
her
Dagger
in
her
Hand
,
her
Eyes
sparkling
with
Fury
,
and
enlivening
her
words
with
gastly
Looks
,
that
would
ha'
cheated
Beelzebub
himself
.
Anselm
,
struck
with
Admiration
to
see
what
his
Eyes
beheld
,
desir'd
no
more
to
cure
him
of
those
Jealousies
with
which
Lothario
had
turmoil'd
his
Breast
;
yet
fearing
,
lest
the
Fury
of
his
Wife
might
prove
fatal
to
his
Friend
,
or
at
least
,
not
knowing
how
far
her
Passion
might
attempt
upon
her self
,
was
about
to
have
made
his
personal
Appearance
to
attone
her
Rage
;
at
what
time
Lionella
return'd
,
with
Lothario
in
her
Hand
.
No
sooner
Lothario
enter'd
,
but
Stop
,
she
cry'd
,
Lothario
,
venture
no
farther
at
your
Peril
;
for
if
ye
stir
a
foot
,
expect
this
Dagger
in
your
treacherous
Heart
.
Budge
not
then
a
hair's
breadth
,
till
thou
hast
answer'd
me
these
two
Questions
;
and
answer
me
quick
and
short
,
without
Quirks
,
and
Tricks
,
and
Circumlocutions
,
mental
Reservations
,
or
Evasions
.
In
the
first
place
,
Dost
thou
know
Anselm
,
and
what
Opinion
hast
thou
of
him
—
?
In
the
next
place
,
Dost
thou
know
me
?
Lothario
was
not
such
an
Oufe
,
but
that
he
knew
Camilla
,
being
privy
to
Anselm's
being
hid
in
the
Chamber
,
understood
how
to
play
her
Game
;
and
therefore
to
correspond
discreetly
and
opportunely
with
her
Design
;
Madam
,
said
he
,
I
could
not
imagine
,
that
you
had
sent
for
me
upon
this
raving
Account
,
I
was
wrapp'd
up
in
a
better
Conceit
of
my
Happiness
;
so
that
if
you
did
not
intend
to
have
kept
the
Promise
that
you
made
me
last
Night
,
you
might
have
sent
me
word
so
,
and
not
have
laid
a
Snare
for
me
,
to
the
Breach
of
your
word
,
and
vast
Injustice
to
my
injur'd
Affection
.
However
,
Madam
,
to
answer
exactly
to
your
Questions
,
I
do
know
Anselm
;
he
and
I
have
known
one
another
from
our
Infancy
;
I
forbear
to
speak
of
our
Friendship
,
you
are
a
sufficient
Judge
of
it
;
and
if
I
may
be
thought
to
have
surpass'd
the
Limits
of
that
cordial
Amity
,
blame
that
same
Deity
call'd
Love
,
that
obeys
no
Laws
but
his
own
.
And
for
you
,
lovely
Camilla
,
had
I
not
known
ye
so
well
,
I
should
ha'
been
more
innocent
,
and
my
Soul
had
been
at
more
Repose
—
If
so
,
unjust
and
treacherous
Friend
,
cry'd
Camilla
,
if
thou
wert
so
well
acquainted
with
us
both
,
why
dost
thou
violate
a
Friendship
so
sacredly
observ'd
by
my
Husband
?
And
how
dost
thou
dare
to
appear
in
my
sight
,
after
such
a
piece
of
Treason
committed
,
no
less
offensive
to
me
,
then
to
himself
?
What
was
in
your
Thoughts
to
court
me
with
your
Lutener's
lane
Addresses
?
Who
had
inform'd
ye
,
that
I
was
such
a
light
Hussey
—
?
When
did
I
ever
give
thee
the
least
Encouragement
,
that
might
flatter
thy
Hopes
?
On
the
other
side
,
Did
I
not
always
disdain
thy
Presents
?
Did
I
not
always
with
a
serious
Indignation
,
reject
thy
Vows
and
Protestations
?
't
is
true
,
I
was
to
blame
for
not
chastizing
thee
severely
;
but
tho
my
sottish
Prudence
would
not
then
permit
me
to
complain
to
Anselm
,
for
fear
of
setting
two
such
loving
Friends
together
by
the
Ears
,
and
sending
ye
both
to
Barn-Elms
,
wi'
your
Seconds
,
yet
finding
now
my self
too
guilty
of
that
Crime
,
I
'le
be
my self
my
Judge
and
Executioner
;
yet
e're
I
die
,
I
'le
tear
that
treacherous
Heart
of
thine
from
thy
ingrateful
Breast
,
to
gratifie
my
Vengeance
—
And
so
saying
,
she
flew
with
that
incredible
swiftness
upon
Lothario
,
and
counterfeited
her
Malice
so
exactly
,
that
he
himself
could
scarce
tell
what
to
think
;
especially
seeing
himself
so
hardly
put
to
't
,
that
he
was
forc'd
to
use
his
utmost
Skill
and
Strength
to
defend
himself
.
For
certainly
,
ne're
did
Woman
paint
out
her
Despair
in
such
lively
and
natural
Colours
,
as
would
ha'
deluded
the
Supreme
Arch-devil
of
Delusion
himself
:
Nay
,
she
went
so
far
as
to
breath
a
Vein
,
and
draw
Blood
to
confirm
her
Imposture
.
At
length
,
like
one
that
found
she
could
not
have
her
Ends
of
Lothario
,
Well
—
said
she
—
then
live
a
Miscreant
as
thou
art
,
since
I
have
not
Strength
to
rid
the
World
of
such
a
Pest
—
However
,
thou
shalt
not
hinder
me
from
that
Revenge
I
owe
my
own
disloyal
Heart
—
and
with
that
,
flying
out
of
Lothario's
Arms
who
held
her
,
like
one
that
had
as
yet
some
Wit
in
her
Anger
,
she
struck
the
Dagger
slightly
into
the
fleshy
part
of
her
Arm
next
her
Shoulder
,
and
at
the
same
time
fell
flat
upon
her
Back
in
a
Swoon
.
This
last
part
of
the
Show
,
so
rarely
well
acted
,
especially
when
they
saw
the
Vermillion
Liquor
of
Life
come
trickling
down
her
Smock-sleeves
,
startl'd
even
Lothario
and
Lionella
themselves
:
Lothario
was
for
sending
for
the
Surgeon
,
Lionella
lookt
as
pale
as
Bagg'd-Holland
;
but
not
finding
the
Wound
to
be
of
much
more
Consequence
then
a
Pendant-hole
i'
the
Ear
,
they
could
not
chuse
but
smile
one
upon
another
;
nor
could
Lionella
forbear
whispering
Lothario
i'
the
Ear
,
Match
me
now
this
,
quo
she
,
at
either
of
the
two
Theaters
.
On
the
other
side
,
Lothario
believing
it
no
less
proper
for
him
to
act
his
Part
,
fell
a
cursing
the
day
of
his
Birth
,
the
Nurse
that
gave
him
suck
,
the
Air
that
afforded
him
Breath
,
and
imprecated
a
thousand
Maledictions
not
only
upon
himself
,
but
the
Person
who
had
been
the
Cause
of
all
this
Mischief
;
then
thumping
his
Breast
,
as
if
he
had
been
beating
Hemp
upon
his
Ribs
,
he
roar'd
and
howl'd
,
and
with
a
million
of
Woe is me's
,
lamented
,
wept
,
and
blubber'd
over
Camilla's
Body
;
and
this
with
a
Passion
so
lively
,
and
with
a
Grief
so
real
,
to
all
outward
Appearance
,
that
you
would
have
sworn
him
to
have
been
the
most
forlorn
and
sorrowful
Person
that
e're
was
overwhelm'd
in
Misery
.
In
the
mean
time
Lionella
took
up
her
dear
Mistress
in
her
Arms
,
and
having
laid
her
upon
the
Bed
,
beg'd
of
Lothario
to
go
fetch
a
Surgeon
;
and
withal
,
ask'd
his
Advice
,
what
Excuse
they
should
make
to
Anselm
,
should
he
return
before
she
was
cur'd
.
To
which
,
Lothario
,
knowing
that
Anselm
heard
him
;
Do
what
you
think
fit
,
said
he
,
for
I
am
so
unable
to
give
Counsel
to
others
,
that
I
know
not
what
course
to
advise
my self
,
only
take
care
she
do
not
bleed
to
death
;
and
as
for
my
own
part
,
farewel
Mankind
,
for
I'
m
resolv'd
to
go
where
mortal
Eye
shall
never
see
me
more
;
and
so
saying
,
he
flung
out
of
the
Room
,
with
all
the
Marks
of
Despair
,
that
Urbin
,
with
all
his
Fancy
,
could
have
pencil'd
.
But
when
he
was
alone
,
where
no
body
saw
him
,
he
could
not
forbear
to
cross
himself
from
his
Forehead
to
his
Stomach
,
in
Admiration
of
Camilla's
Subtilty
,
and
to
see
how
rarely
Lionella
humour'd
the
whole
,
as
if
the
Jade
had
been
begot
a'
purpose
for
such
Intrigues
.
Nor
did
Lionella
trouble
her self
to
stanch
Camilla's
Blood
,
till
she
had
bled
enough
to
ratifie
the
Cheat
;
and
then
washing
the
Wound
,
which
was
not
so
big
as
a
Sparrow's
Eye
,
all
the
while
she
was
dressing
and
binding
it
up
,
manag'd
her
dissembling
Tongue
with
that
admirable
Discretion
,
that
Anselm
wou'd
ha'
sworn
his
Wife
had
been
a
second
Lucretia
.
On
the
other
side
,
Camilla
lay
raving
and
reviling
her self
,
for
having
miss'd
her
Revenge
,
and
seem'd
to
be
enrag'd
,
that
her
Misfortune
had
preserv'd
a
Life
,
which
she
so
much
detested
.
Which
Scene
being
over
,
Camilla
advis'd
with
her
Maid
,
whether
or
no
't
were
proper
to
inform
Anselm
of
what
had
happen'd
?
Heav'ns
forbid
,
answer'd
Lionella
;
for
he
'll
be
sure
to
be
challenging
Lothario
;
and
what
Woman
of
Vertue
would
venture
the
Life
of
a
Husband
,
whom
she
so
entirely
lov'd
?
't
is
very
true
,
quo
Camilla
,
and
therefore
I
'le
follow
thy
Counsel
.
But
,
said
she
,
thou
must
invent
me
some
Story
or
other
to
tell
him
,
when
he
shall
come
to
see
the
Wound
.
Troth
,
Madam
,
reply'd
Lionella
,
you
must
pardon
me
for
that
—
for
I
could
never
tell
a
Lye
l'
my
life
,
tho
it
were
to
deny
the
pinching
of
a
Box
of
Marmaled
,
when
I
went
to
your
Closet
—
If
a
Bottle
o'
Wine
be
not
miss'd
,
I
can
be
silent
,
and
drink
it
with
the
Cook-maid
and
the
Coachman
—
but
if
it
be
ask'd
for
—
I
can
as
well
be
hang'd
as
deny
it
.
Neither
would
I
,
reply'd
Camilla
,
tell
a
Lye
for
all
the
World
,
tho
it
were
to
save
my
Honour
;
and
therefore
I
think
it
best
to
make
an
ingenious
Confession
without
any
more
ado
.
For
to
tell
ye
the
truth
,
an
honest
Woman
ought
to
make
as
absolute
Confession
to
her
Husband
,
as
to
her
Ghostly
Father
himself
.
Madam
,
reply'd
Lionella
,
never
trouble
your self
;
I
make
no
question
but
your
Wound
will
be
cur'd
before
he
returns
:
And
therefore
let
it
only
be
your
Care
to
settle
your
Mind
,
and
calm
the
Disorders
of
your
Countenance
;
and
for
the
rest
,
leave
it
to
God
and
a
good
Conscience
,
that
never
desert
the
Innocent
.
While
these
two
Female
Hypocrites
were
thus
sporting
with
Anselm's
Credulity
,
poor
Jack
Adams
,
who
had
not
lost
one
Tittle
of
a
Word
they
said
,
felt
his
Soul
caper
in
his
Breast
for
Joy
,
that
he
was
now
the
happiest
Man
under
Heaven's
blew
Canopy
;
and
waited
impatiently
for
Night
,
that
he
might
go
and
make
his
trusty
faithful
Friend
,
the
full
Partaker
of
his
Felicity
,
whom
he
look'd
upon
as
the
sole
Authour
of
his
Life's
Content
;
and
to
congratulate
with
him
for
the
precious
Pearl
which
he
had
found
,
in
being
thus
undeceiv'd
,
and
assur'd
of
the
Vertue
of
his
undefiled
Spouse
.
On
the
other
side
,
Camilla
and
Lionella
finding
themselves
at
the
End
of
their
fifth
Act
,
let
fall
the
Curtain
,
and
made
their
Exit
,
to
give
him
the
Opportunity
which
he
desir'd
,
and
which
he
as
greedily
laying
hold
of
,
posted
away
to
Lothario's
Lodging
;
and
finding
him
at
home
(
as
one
that
expected
his
Visit
)
he
threw
his
Arms
about
Lothario's
Neck
,
and
after
he
had
giv'n
him
more
Thanks
then
there
are
Pebbles
upon
Goodwin-Sands
,
thunder'd
out
such
a
Volley
of
Encomiums
in
praise
of
Camilla's
Vertue
,
that
Lothario
check'd
and
peach'd
by
his
own
guilty
Conscience
,
as
knowing
how
he
had
betray'd
him
,
and
unjustly
tasted
of
his
forbidden
Fruit
,
could
not
tell
what
Answer
to
make
him
;
nor
could
he
any
way
comply
with
his
Friend's
Joy
,
which
he
saw
to
be
so
excessive
.
On
the
other
side
,
Anselm
could
not
chuse
but
take
notice
of
his
Friend's
Indifferency
,
but
believing
it
proceeded
from
his
Sorrow
,
that
his
nown
dear
Camilla
had
hurt
her self
;
a
Misfortune
,
of
which
his
Friend
could
not
but
in
some
measure
think
himself
the
Occasion
;
he
beg'd
him
not
to
afflict
himself
,
for
that
her
Wound
was
but
very
slight
;
and
assuring
him
besides
,
that
both
she
and
her
Maid
were
resolv'd
to
say
nothing
of
it
.
And
therefore
it
became
him
to
be
so
far
from
perplexing
himself
at
such
an
inconsiderable
Accident
,
that
he
ought
rather
to
rejoice
with
him
,
as
one
that
had
not
only
contributed
to
marry
him
to
one
of
the
fairest
young
Ladies
in
Florence
,
but
by
his
Industry
and
fidelity
had
convinc'd
him
,
that
he
was
owner
of
the
most
vertuous
and
beautiful
Wife
in
the
World
;
a
Woman
that
for
her
Vertue
,
if
she
had
her
due
,
ought
to
be
the
Theme
of
all
the
Poems
and
Sonnets
of
the
Age
,
to
eternize
the
Memory
of
her
Chastity
.
To
which
Lothario
reply'd
,
That
there
was
nothing
more
just
,
and
that
therefore
it
should
be
the
sole
Imployment
of
his
Muse
,
to
serve
her
in
the
raising
of
so
noble
a
Monument
.
This
was
the
Issue
of
Anselm's
Politick
Design
,
now
a
notorious
Cuckold
,
but
the
most
joyfully
couzen'd
to
his
Heart's
content
,
of
any
Man
that
ever
Midwife
handed
into
the
World
:
And
at
the
same
time
he
took
Lothario
by
the
Hand
,
and
led
him
home
to
his
House
,
fully
believing
the
Subverter
of
his
Honour
to
be
the
Instrument
of
his
Happiness
.
Camilla
receiv'd
him
with
a
lowring
Countenance
,
but
an
amorous
Heart
;
and
for
some
time
they
enjoy'd
the
Benefit
of
their
wanton
Treachery
,
till
at
length
Fortune
turning
honest
,
discover'd
the
Fraud
that
had
been
with
so
much
Artifice
conceal'd
;
and
Anselm's
impatient
Curiosity
cost
him
his
Life
.
CHAP.
VIII
.
The
Conclusion
of
the
Novel
of
the
Curious
Impertinent
.
THE
Curate
had
not
much
more
to
read
of
the
Novel
,
before
he
came
to
the
Conclusion
,
when
Sancho
,
like
a
Fellow
frighted
out
of
his
Senses
by
a
Cow
in
a
Church-yard
,
came
thundring
down
from
the
Garret
,
where
Don
Quixote
was
taking
his
natural
Rest
,
and
crying
out
as
loud
as
if
the
House
had
been
a'
fire
,
Help
,
help
,
for
the
Lord's
sake
,
come
away
quickly
,
for
I
have
left
my
Master
engag'd
in
one
of
the
most
desperate
Combats
that
e're
was
undertook
by
human
Force
.
I
am
the
arrantest
Lyer
that
ever
spoke
with
a
Tongue
,
if
at
the
first
Blow
which
he
gave
the
monstrous
Giant
,
my
Lady
the
Princess
Micomicona's
mortal
Enemy
,
he
did
not
pare
off
his
Head
as
cleverly
as
I
ha'
seen
a
Gardiner
ship
a
Cabbage
from
the
Stalk
.
How
!
Sancho
,
cry'd
the
Curate
,
what
—
hast
thou
lost
thy
Wits
?
How
the
Devil
can
this
be
,
when
the
Giant
is
not
within
two
thousand
Leagues
o'
this
Place
—
Are
thy
Master's
Arms
two
thousand
Leagues
long
?
With
that
,
they
heard
his
Master
i'
the
Garret
tearing
his
Throat
,
and
crying
out
,
Lie
there
,
Cut-throat
—
Villain
—
Traytor
—
I
ha'
thee
fast
now
—
Dog
in
a
Doublet
—
What
's
become
o'
thy
terrible
Scimitar
—
?
No
,
no
,
not
so
invincible
neither
as
thou
thoughtst
thy self
:
And
all
the
while
they
heard
the
Noise
of
Don
Quixote's
Sword
clashing
against
the
Wall
,
as
if
he
had
been
hewing
down
that
side
of
the
House
.
Why
don't
ye
stir
,
Gentlemen
,
quo
Sancho
;
what
d'
ye
sit
gaping
one
upon
another
for
?
Pox
on
ye
for
a
Company
o'
Cowards
,
why
don't
ye
go
and
part
the
Fray
?
Tho
I
believe
there
's
no
need
o'
your
Assistance
—
for
,
if
I
mistake
not
,
the
Giant
is
already
gone
to
give
an
Account
of
his
wicked
Life
i'
the
other
World
;
for
I
saw
his
Crimson
Blood
run
about
the
Room
like
a
River
,
and
the
Stream
was
so
strong
,
that
it
carry'd
his
Head
along
with
it
,
which
was
as
big
as
a
Bushel
,
or
at
least
,
as
an
Elephant's
.
Now
all
the
Plague's
of
Egypt
light
upon
him
,
quo
the
Host
,
for
I
'le
be
burn'd
,
if
this
Don
Quixote
,
or
Don
Devil
,
have
not
been
quarrelling
with
the
Boracho's
of
Wine
that
stand
in
his
Cockloft
;
and
this
same
Beetle-head
takes
the
Wine
for
Giant's
Blood
.
With
that
,
he
follow'd
the
rest
of
the
Company
into
the
field
of
Battel
,
where
they
found
Don
Quixote
in
the
strangest
Equipage
that
ever
Mortal
appear'd
in
.
For
he
was
in
his
Shirt
,
if
so
it
might
be
call'd
,
and
not
rather
a
Shift
,
consisting
of
two
foul
Napkins
,
which
being
tack'd
together
over
each
Shoulder
,
hung
like
a
Herald's
Coat
.
As
for
that
before
,
it
hardly
cover'd
the
half
of
his
Hips
,
and
that
behind
wanted
a
full
Foot
of
the
t'other's
length
:
So
that
his
Shanks
were
easie
to
be
seen
long
and
lither
,
hairy
as
an
old
Baboon's
,
and
as
dirty
as
a
Kennel-rakers
.
Upon
his
Head
he
had
a
Woollen-Cap
so
black
and
greasy
,
that
you
could
only
discover
,
by
the
help
of
a
Magnifying-glass
,
that
in
diebus
illis
it
had
been
red
.
He
had
the
Coverlet
of
his
Bed
wrapp'd
about
his
left
Arm
,
and
his
Sword
drawn
in
his
right
Hand
,
with
which
he
laid
about
him
Fore-stroke
and
Back-stroke
,
and
all
the
while
rending
his
Throat
,
and
vowing
Massacre
and
Destruction
,
as
if
he
had
been
engag'd
with
Millions
.
But
the
greatest
wonder
was
,
that
all
this
while
his
Eyes
were
shut
,
for
he
was
perfectly
asleep
;
only
in
a
Dream
,
no
doubt
,
that
he
was
battering
the
Mazard
of
the
Giant
Pandafilando
.
Or
else
,
as
his
Imagination
was
wholly
possess'd
with
these
Fancies
,
he
might
in
his
Sleep
have
tak'n
an
easie
Voyage
to
Micomicon
,
where
he
thought
himself
Rib-roasting
the
Princess's
Enemy
;
and
whatever
he
had
heard
tumble
,
he
took
for
the
Leg
or
Shoulder
of
some
vanquish'd
Giant
.
But
by
Misfortune
,
the
most
of
these
Monster-murdering
Blows
fell
upon
certain
Boracho's
of
Wine
that
stood
in
the
Chamber
;
so
that
the
Room
would
have
carry'd
an
ordinary
Wherry
.
Which
so
enrag'd
the
Vintner
,
that
he
flew
like
a
Mad-man
upon
D.
Quixote
,
and
beat
such
a
Reveillez
with
his
double
Fists
upon
his
dry
Bones
,
that
the
Knight's
War
with
the
Giants
had
soon
been
at
an
end
,
had
not
Cardenio
and
the
Curate
stept
in
to
the
Hero's
Rescue
.
And
yet
for
all
the
Vintner's
Thumps
and
Bruises
,
did
not
this
poor
Frantick
wake
(
well
for
the
Vintner
,
who
perhaps
might
else
ha'
slept
the
Sleep
of
Death
)
till
the
Barber
with
a
Pailful
of
cold
water
wash'd
not
only
his
Linnen
,
but
his
whole
Body
from
top
to
toe
,
and
then
he
began
to
open
his
Eyes
;
yet
did
not
that
wake
him
neither
so
fully
,
as
to
make
him
perceive
the
Condition
he
was
in
;
so
that
Mrs.
Dorothy
entring
the
Garret
,
and
seeing
her
Champion
in
his
Cobweb
Lawn
,
and
short
Measure
to
boot
,
mourning
for
his
Lawndress
,
tript
out
o'
the
Room
again
,
as
unwilling
to
behold
her
Protector's
Infirmities
.
During
this
Hurly-burly
,
Sancho
had
been
looking
for
the
Giant's
Head
,
which
he
saw
drop
to
the
Ground
,
but
not
being
able
to
find
it
;
Now
,
said
he
,
I
see
there
is
nothing
but
Enchantment
in
this
House
.
For
in
this
very
place
it
was
,
that
not
long
since
I
receiv'd
in
dry
Kicks
and
Fisty-cuffs
about
some
two
Thousand
Marks
,
wanting
three
,
for
which
I
never
gave
any
Acquittance
,
and
yet
could
never
see
from
whence
they
came
,
or
who
were
my
liberal
Benefactors
:
And
now
the
Devil
will
not
let
me
find
the
Head
of
this
Giant
,
tho
I
saw
it
cut
off
with
both
my
two
Eyes
,
and
the
Blood
gush
out
like
the
water
from
a
Brewer's
Pump
.
Enemy
to
Heaven
,
and
all
the
Saints
,
what
dost
mean
by
all
this
Pedlers
French
,
cry'd
the
Inn-keeper
?
Dost
not
see
,
Blockhead
as
thou
art
,
that
the
Pump
and
the
Blood
are
nothing
else
but
my
Boracho's
that
are
bor'd
like
so
many
Cullenders
,
and
that
the
Chamber
is
all
over-flow'd
with
Wine
?
I
wish
a'
were
swimming
in
Hell
that
has
done
me
this
Spoil
—
That
's
no
business
of
mine
,
reply'd
Sancho
,
but
this
I
know
well
,
that
this
same
Head
,
could
I
find
it
,
would
be
worth
to
me
a
good
Earldom
,
and
now
for
want
of
it
,
my
Earldom
is
sunk
again
to
the
bottom
o'
the
Sea
,
for
ought
I
know
.
Upon
which
the
Vintner
,
no
less
enrag'd
at
the
Stupidity
of
the
Squire
,
then
for
the
Damage
the
Knight
had
done
him
,
swore
by
the
Religion
of
all
his
Ancestors
,
they
shou'd
not
escape
as
they
had
done
the
time
before
,
but
that
in
despite
of
all
their
Huffing
,
and
Bouncing
,
and
vapouring
,
and
hectoring
,
maugre
all
the
Priviledges
of
their
Knighthoods
and
Shitehoods
,
they
should
pay
him
to
the
utmost
Farding
for
mangling
his
Boracho's
and
spilling
his
Wine
.
At
the
same
time
the
Curate
held
Don
Quixote
by
the
Hand
,
who
believing
he
had
finish'd
his
Adventure
,
and
that
he
was
in
the
Presence
of
the
Princess
Micomicona
,
fell
upon
his
Knees
before
the
Curate
,
and
with
a
submissive
Voice
;
Your
Grandeur
,
said
he
,
is
now
secur'd
,
most
Renowned
and
Sovereign
Lady
.
No
longer
need
you
fear
the
Usurpations
of
that
fell
and
barbarous
Tyrant
,
that
would
have
dispossess'd
ye
of
your
Native
Right
;
and
I
am
discharg'd
of
my
Promise
,
seeing
that
through
Heaven's
Assistance
,
and
by
the
Favour
of
Her
,
by
whom
,
and
for
whose
sake
I
live
,
I
have
restor'd
ye
to
the
Scepter
of
your
Ancestors
.
Now
,
Gentlemen
,
cry'd
Sancho
,
what
d'
ye
think
on
't
,
was
not
I
in
the
right
on
't
,
when
I
told
ye
how
he
was
in
Combat
with
a
Giant
?
I
was
sure
I
was
not
drunk
;
and
now
I
think
the
Town's
our
own
,
and
my
Earldom
is
secure
—
At
which
the
whole
Company
,
all
but
the
Inn-keeper
,
fell
out
a
laughing
till
the
Tears
trickl'd
down
their
Cheeks
,
as
big
as
Pease
.
Only
the
Inn-keeper
could
find
nothing
to
be
merry
at
,
but
curs'd
and
bann'd
the
Knight
,
and
the
Giant
,
and
all
the
Generation
of
Knights
and
Giants
,
so
enrag'd
was
he
against
the
whole
Progeny
of
Combatants-Errant
,
for
the
loss
of
his
Wine
.
However
,
at
length
the
Curate
,
the
Barber
,
and
Cardenio
,
perswaded
Don
Quixote
to
go
to
bed
,
where
he
lay
with
the
greatest
Satisfaction
that
ever
Mortal
had
,
who
had
vanquish'd
his
Adversary
in
Chancery
;
but
they
had
much
ado
to
appease
the
Inn-keeper
,
who
wou'd
fain
ha'
been
anatomizing
Don
Quixote
,
for
the
Slaughter
of
his
Boracho's
.
On
the
other
side
,
the
Hostess
tore
her
Hair
with
both
Hands
,
howl'd
and
took
on
,
as
if
her
Father
,
and
Mother
,
and
all
her
Kindred
had
been
carry'd
into
Captivity
by
the
Moors
.
Could
this
Devil-Errant
,
quo
she
,
find
no
way
to
break
his
Neck
before
he
came
to
my
House
.
Ten
thousand
Gangreens
devour
his
Entrails
—
I
never
saw
the
Peer
of
him
—
the
Leathern-jaw'd
Rake-hell
is
like
a
Monkey
broke
loose
in
a
Dairy
—
he
never
comes
to
my
House
,
but
to
ruine
me
—
The
last
time
they
rid
away
with
the
Reckoning
,
he
and
that
Dog's-head
i'
the
Porridge-pot
,
his
Squire
—
pretending
themselves
Knight-Errants
,
with
a
million
a'
Poxes
to
'em
;
and
that
it
was
contrary
to
their
Wild
Irish
Laws
of
Diabolical
Chivalry
,
to
pay
for
what
they
call
for
—
All
the
Misfortunes
that
Astrology
and
Palmistry
fore-tell
,
bring
'em
safe
to
the
Gallows
—
and
may
their
Order
,
and
all
their
Laws
be
burn'd
under
their
Noses
as
they
hang
—
and
now
here
he
's
come
again
with
his
Knighthood
and
his
Valour
to
encounter
my
Boracho's
,
hack
the
poor
Goat-skins
to
pieces
,
and
spill
me
more
Wine
,
then
all
his
Knighthood
was
worth
—
I
wish
I
could
see
as
much
of
his
Blood
—
He
a
Knight
!
he
a
Rat-catcher
—
!
But
I
'le
be
reveng'd
on
him
,
or
else
let
me
be
carted
for
a
Bawd
,
and
lose
the
Name
of
honest
Woman
—
Nor
could
he
scape
the
Prayers
of
Maritornes
,
who
,
to
comply
with
her
Mistress
,
wish'd
heartily
that
he
might
never
meet
with
a
Mistress
handsomer
then
her self
,
and
die
under
the
Rigour
of
her
Scorn
to
boot
.
But
the
Curate
,
a
Man
of
Peace
,
found
out
a
way
to
heal
all
the
Wounds
,
and
make
amends
for
all
the
Blood
that
Don
Quixote
had
shed
,
by
promising
Payment
for
all
the
Damage
he
had
done
.
And
as
for
Sancho
,
who
was
a
little
down
i'
the
Mouth
,
because
he
could
not
find
the
Head
,
Mrs.
Dorothy
assur'd
him
by
way
of
Consolation
,
that
if
the
Knight
his
Master
had
cut
off
the
Giant's
Head
,
she
would
give
him
the
best
Earldom
in
her
Kingdom
.
Thereupon
Sancho
swore
by
his
first
Night's
Lodging
with
his
Wife
,
that
he
saw
the
Head
fall
,
by
the
same
token
,
that
it
had
a
Beard
above
an
Ell
long
;
but
the
Reason
why
he
could
not
find
it
was
,
because
the
House
was
enchanted
,
as
he
had
found
by
Experience
.
And
now
the
Curate
finding
the
House
restor'd
to
its
former
Tranquility
,
desir'd
leave
to
conclude
the
Novel
of
the
Curious
Impertinent
;
which
being
granted
,
he
thus
read
on
:
Anselm
being
so
well
assur'd
of
the
Vertue
of
his
Wife
,
was
the
most
contented
Cuckold
i'
the
World
.
On
the
other
side
,
Camilla
purposely
lower'd
and
frown'd
upon
Lothario
;
and
Lothario
requested
Anselm
to
excuse
him
from
frequenting
his
House
,
as
one
that
found
his
Company
was
no
way
acceptable
to
Camilla
.
But
the
deluded
Anselm
could
by
no
means
endure
such
a
Separation
,
and
therefore
would
not
let
his
Wife
be
quiet
,
till
he
had
brought
her
to
a
perfect
Reconciliation
.
In
the
mean
time
Lionella
,
sway'd
by
the
frailty
of
her
flesh
,
insatiable
in
her
desires
;
and
as
she
was
grown
Lawless
beyond
her
Mistresses
Controul
,
being
resolv'd
to
make
use
of
her
time
,
gave
those
Reins
to
her
impotent
heat
,
that
preferring
the
Precept
of
Gather
your
Rose-buds
,
before
all
the
Commandments
,
she
caress'd
her
Paramour
Day
and
Night
in
her
Master's
House
,
without
any
consideration
of
what
might
happen
either
to
her
Mistress
or
her self
.
And
unluckily
it
fell
out
,
that
one
Night
Anselm
heard
a
noise
in
her
Chamber
.
Upon
this
,
his
Curiosity
inquisitive
to
know
what
was
the
matter
,
he
perceiv'd
the
Door
held
against
him
:
which
resistance
kindling
new
suspicions
in
his
sick
and
weak
Brain
,
his
Jealousie
forc'd
open
the
Door
,
at
what
time
he
observ'd
a
certain
Mortal
in
Breeches
leap
out
of
the
window
into
the
street
.
Hoytie
toytie
,
quo
he
,
what
's
here
to
do
?
And
with
that
he
stept
to
the
window
,
thinking
to
lay
hold
o'
the
Person
,
or
at
least
to
have
a
sight
of
his
Physiognomy
:
But
missing
both
his
aims
,
by
reason
that
Lionella
held
him
fast
in
her
Arms
,
he
began
to
grow
angry
.
Lionella
besought
him
not
to
make
a
bustle
,
assuring
him
,
that
it
was
only
a
concern
of
her
own
;
and
that
the
Gentleman
was
her
Legitimate
Husband
,
lawfully
and
duly
espous'd
,
as
ever
two
Beggars
were
marry'd
at
the
Minories
.
Anselm
would
not
believe
her
,
but
transported
with
Fury
,
or
at
least
seeming
so
to
be
,
vow'd
to
stick
her
to
the
wall
with
a
Dagger
which
he
had
in
his
hand
,
if
she
did
not
tell
him
the
truth
.
Lionella
,
who
was
more
accustom'd
to
other
sort
of
Weapons
then
to
steel
Poniards
,
was
so
dismay'd
to
see
the
bright
Instrument
of
Death
gliss'n
at
her
Breast
,
that
all
her
quick
Inventions
,
all
her
Excuses
,
and
Chamber-maid
Evasions
having
left
her
,
and
her
constant
Friend
,
the
Devil
,
not
having
an
Opportunity
to
whisper
her
i'
the
Ear
,
she
had
not
one
word
to
say
;
but
falling
at
her
Master's
feet
in
such
a
Pannick
Dread
,
that
she
hardly
knew
what
she
said
,
she
besought
him
to
spare
her
Life
,
and
she
would
make
him
such
Discoveries
,
as
should
make
his
Ears
tingle
.
Be
quick
then
,
Baggage
,
cry'd
Anselm
,
or
by
this
Candle
that
burns
—
And
then
heaving
up
his
Dagger-hand
—
Oh
,
for
the
Lord's
sake
,
cry'd
Lionella
,
have
mercy
on
a
Sinner
,
but
till
to
morrow
morning
—
And
then
if
I
do
not
disclose
the
very
in-side
of
my
Breast
,
do
you
your self
rip
it
open
for
me
—
Only
this
I
swear
i'
the
mean
time
,
and
you
may
believe
me
upon
the
words
of
a
dying
Maid
(
and
I
may
safely
so
now
call
my self
,
my
Soul
being
almost
frighted
out
of
my
Body
)
that
the
Person
that
shot
himself
out
of
the
window
,
was
only
a
Sweet-heart
of
mine
,
that
has
promis'd
me
Marriage
so
faithfully
,
that
I
could
not
deny
him
a
small
Kindness
before
hand
—
I
am
sorry
with
all
my
heart
,
Sir
,
the
noise
disturb'd
ye
.
Anselm
finding
the
first
part
of
her
Confession
so
ingenious
,
granted
her
the
time
she
desir'd
.
However
,
fearing
she
should
make
her
Escape
,
like
a
half-witted
Fool
,
he
secur'd
her
by
halves
;
for
he
only
lock'd
her
Chamber
Door
,
and
took
the
Key
in
his
Pocket
,
never
minding
the
Casement
;
and
so
believing
her
as
safe
as
the
Wise
Men
a'
Gotam's
Cuckow
,
away
he
went
to
bed
to
his
Camilla
,
told
her
what
had
happen'd
,
and
what
Ear-tingling
Discoveries
her
Maid
was
to
make
him
next
Morning
.
Camilla
,
on
the
other
side
,
never
questioning
,
but
that
those
Ear-tingling
Discoveries
would
deeply
concern
her
,
said
nothing
;
but
having
tyr'd
poor
Anselm
by
her
more
then
usual
Caresses
,
and
laid
him
in
a
profound
sleep
,
up
she
gets
,
slips
on
her
Morning-dress
,
pockets
up
all
the
Gold
and
Jewels
she
could
find
,
and
away
she
trips
to
Lothario
;
tells
him
the
whole
story
,
and
conjures
him
by
all
the
Kindness
he
had
for
her
,
and
by
all
their
stoll'n
Pleasures
,
to
secure
her
somewhere
,
where
she
might
be
safe
from
her
Husbands
fury
;
vowing
to
follow
him
,
tho
it
were
in
the
Habit
of
a
Page
,
all
over
the
World
;
believing
,
that
since
she
had
lost
her
Honour
,
she
could
make
an
excellent
Mistress
for
a
Commander
in
a
long
Campaigne
.
The
sight
of
Camilla
,
and
the
story
she
told
him
,
put
Lothario
into
such
a
Consternation
,
that
he
had
much
ado
to
catch
his
Wits
again
,
that
flutter'd
about
the
Room
like
Birds
got
out
of
a
Cage
.
But
finding
the
Case
to
be
such
,
as
would
admit
of
no
delay
,
he
Saddl'd
his
double
Gelding
,
and
away
he
troop'd
with
her
,
and
carry'd
her
to
much
such
another
House
as
Mother
Creswel's
,
and
left
her
in
the
Custody
of
an
Aunt
of
his
,
not
so
mean
as
Mrs.
Buly
,
and
yet
a
little
below
the
Degree
of
Madam
Bennet
.
Tho
others
say
,
he
carry'd
her
to
a
Nunnery
,
and
desir'd
his
Sister
,
who
was
the
Abbess
,
to
take
care
of
her
.
However
it
were
,
Anselm
was
no
sooner
wak'd
,
but
never
minding
his
Camilla
,
out
he
jumps
from
his
Bed
,
slips
on
his
Breeches
,
and
hey
for
new
Discoveries
—
which
he
found
,
I
think
,
with
a
vengeance
.
For
in
the
first
place
,
having
unlock'd
Lionella's
Chamber-door
,
he
discover'd
that
the
Bird
was
flown
:
For
Lionella
had
let
her self
down
out
of
the
Window
into
the
street
by
the
help
of
a
long
Sheet
;
or
if
one
were
not
long
enough
,
you
must
suppose
she
made
use
of
two
—
Humph
—
quo
Anselm
,
this
't
is
not
to
observe
Old
Proverbs
;
—
For
instead
of
locking
fast
,
had
I
bound
fast
,
I
had
found
fast
.
—
Well
—
discovering
that
he
had
miss'd
that
Discovery
,
Anselm
returns
to
discover
his
misfortune
to
Camilla
:
But
looking
into
the
Bed
,
he
discover'd
that
Camilla
was
not
to
be
discover'd
neither
—
There
was
the
Form
,
but
Puss
was
started
—
Away
goes
Anselm
,
and
visits
every
Room
within
doors
,
Buttery
,
Kitchen
,
Cellar
,
Garrets
—
Calls
Millie
,
why
Millie
—
Nay
,
he
did
not
leave
the
House
of
Office
at
the
lower
end
o'
the
Garden
unsearch'd
—
Still
no
Camilla
—
At
length
returning
to
his
own
Chamber
,
and
finding
Millie's
Closet-door
open
,
and
her
Cabinet
unlock'd
,
he
made
another
Discovery
;
for
all
the
Jewels
and
Money
were
gone
—
All
the
Queen
Elizabeth's
,
Two
and
Twenties
,
Rose
Nobles
,
even
to
the
Edward
Shillings
,
and
Harry
Groats
,
all
were
vanish'd
—
But
then
to
see
how
poor
Anselm
look'd
like
a
Dog
that
has
lost
his
Tail
!
—
He
stood
indeed
,
but
like
one
o'
the
Heads
upon
London-Bridge
—
able
neither
to
speak
nor
breath
—
You
might
ha'
heard
his
Heart-strings
snap
like
Virginal
wires
in
a
wet
season
—
There
were
only
two
or
three
that
held
,
or
else
t'
had
fallen
to
the
bottom
of
his
Belly
—
Well
,
in
this
condition
away
he
creeps
to
his
dear
,
dear
,
dear
Friend
Lothario
—
But
when
they
told
him
he
was
gone
too
;
nay
,
rid
away
,
rid
away
a
Horse-back
—
And
that
he
borrow'd
a
Pillion
of
one
of
his
Neighbours
—
Then
he
fell
a
scratching
his
Head
,
as
if
a'
would
ha'
digg'd
up
all
his
hair
by
the
Roots
—
These
new
Discoveries
,
and
no
Discoveries
,
that
would
ha'
made
all
the
seven
Wise
Men
o'
Greece
run
mad
—
Discoveries
that
he
had
lost
his
Wife
,
his
Friend
,
and
his
Honour
—
No
Discoveries
,
because
he
knew
not
where
to
find
,
or
how
to
regain
either
the
one
or
the
other
.
Now
,
what
would
yee
have
had
a
poor
Gentleman
ha'
done
in
his
condition
?
Would
ye
have
had
him
ha'
gone
to
the
Civilians
for
a
Divorce
to
Cancel
his
Marriage
?
Would
ye
have
had
him
ha'
gone
to
Furnival's
Inn
,
or
Staples-Inn
,
for
a
Writ
of
Clausum
fregit
against
Lothario
?
Or
would
ye
have
had
him
repair'd
to
St.
Ant'lin's
for
some
Drams
of
Consolation
,
or
a
Lecture
of
Patience
?
No
—
he
was
still
for
a
Friend
in
a
corner
,
where
he
might
unload
the
Burthen
of
his
Grief
:
And
it
seems
he
had
such
a
one
in
the
Country
.
To
that
purpose
therefore
,
he
causes
his
Horse
to
be
Saddl'd
,
and
away
he
rides
to
find
him
out
.
But
'
ere
he
was
got
half
way
,
not
able
to
bear
the
weight
of
his
Affliction
,
he
alights
,
and
holding
his
Horse
by
the
Bridle
,
down
he
lays
himself
at
the
foot
of
a
Tree
.
Where
he
had
not
rested
long
,
but
a
Gentleman
riding
by
,
he
desir'd
him
to
stop
,
and
ask'd
him
,
what
News
?
News
!
reply'd
the
Gentleman
;
why
,
did
you
not
know
two
such
Persons
as
Anselm
and
Lothario
;
two
such
Friends
,
that
the
like
Patterns
of
Friendship
were
never
known
i'
this
World
?
Yet
for
all
this
,
the
News
this
Morning
in
all
the
Coffee-Houses
i'
the
Town
is
,
that
Lothario
last
Night
ran
away
with
Anselm's
Wife
.
And
this
was
first
discover'd
by
Camilla's
Chamber-maid
,
who
was
taken
by
the
Watch
sliding
down
by
a
long
Sheet
from
a
window
in
Anselm's
House
into
the
Street
,
like
a
Cupid
descending
from
the
top
of
a
Play-house
.
But
is
it
not
known
,
Sir
,
reply'd
Anselm
,
which
way
Lothario
and
Camilla
rode
together
?
Troth
,
Sir
,
you
ask
me
a
Question
I
am
not
able
to
resolve
ye
—
Nor
is
it
to
be
thought
they
were
such
Fools
,
but
that
they
knew
whither
to
go
,
before
they
went
;
for
a
Plot
's
no
Plot
,
unless
it
be
well
laid
.
And
having
so
said
,
he
rode
on
.
But
no
sooner
was
he
got
out
of
sight
,
when
poor
Anselm
,
over-whelm'd
with
a
thousand
Thoughts
,
Well
—
quo
he
,
ill
News
is
like
a
Train
of
Gun-powder
,
no
sooner
is
the
fire
at
one
end
,
but
't
is
as
soon
at
the
other
.
From
what
a
Salisbury-Steeple-height
of
Happiness
am
I
fallen
to
the
lowest
Abyss
of
Misery
?
And
then
looking
up
with
an
Eye
of
Reflection
upon
the
vastness
of
the
Precipice
,
such
a
Dizziness
seiz'd
his
Brain
,
that
had
it
not
been
for
some
few
gulps
of
Dr.
Stevens's
Water
,
that
he
had
in
his
Pocket
,
he
had
dy'd
i'
the
High-way
.
Finding
himself
therefore
to
be
somewhat
reliev'd
by
his
Cordial
,
up
he
got
again
,
and
rode
the
t'other
half
way
,
which
brought
him
to
his
Friends
Door
;
where
being
arriv'd
,
he
was
met
by
his
Friend
,
who
seeing
him
look
like
a
solitary
Widow
of
a
week's
standing
;
melancholy
,
pensive
,
sorrowful
,
dejected
,
pale
and
wan
,
he
prudently
forbore
the
usual
Complement
of
,
I
am
glad
to
see
yee
well
,
and
more
discreetly
ask'd
him
,
What
he
ayl'd
?
To
which
Anselm
return'd
no
other
Answer
,
but
only
desir'd
him
to
Order
his
Bed
to
be
got
ready
,
and
to
lend
him
a
sheet
of
Paper
,
and
a
Pen
and
Ink.
I
do
not
find
but
that
his
Friend
was
a
civil
well-bred
Gentleman
;
and
therefore
seeing
him
in
that
condition
,
he
would
not
trouble
him
with
unseasonable
and
impertinent
Consolations
;
but
that
after
he
had
shew'd
him
up
to
his
Lodging
,
he
left
him
to
his
Soliloquies
.
So
that
Anselm
finding
himself
alone
,
began
to
reflect
upon
his
former
Felicities
and
his
present
Calamities
.
But
then
the
sad
Ideas
of
his
misfortune
represented
themselves
so
lively
before
his
Eyes
,
that
finding
his
Heart
no
longer
able
to
support
the
weight
of
his
Head
,
an
Inundation
of
fatal
Apprehensions
over-whelm'd
his
Vital
Spirits
.
So
that
now
perceiving
himself
Sentenc'd
to
Death
by
his
Folly
,
and
that
he
was
to
end
his
days
upon
the
Scaffold
of
his
own
Curiosity
;
and
knowing
how
greedy
People
are
of
Harangues
upon
such
Occasions
,
he
thought
it
expedient
,
according
to
the
Mode
(
as
being
the
shorter
and
less
troublesom
way
)
to
leave
a
Paper
behind
him
,
to
shew
the
Occasion
of
his
Death
,
and
how
wrongfully
he
dy'd
.
Induc'd
by
these
motives
,
he
began
to
write
;
but
Grief
,
his
Executioner
,
in
a
niggardly
humour
,
unwilling
to
see
so
much
Paper
wasted
,
strangl'd
him
before
he
could
finish
his
Speech
.
Soon
after
,
his
Friend
,
officious
to
know
what
he
wanted
,
and
what
he
would
have
to
Supper
,
softly
enter'd
the
Chamber
,
and
there
found
poor
Anselm
with
half
his
Body
fallen
upon
his
Breast
,
his
Face
upon
the
Table
,
and
his
Feet
resting
upon
the
Ground
,
with
a
Pen
in
his
Hand
,
that
was
Key-cold
,
and
resting
upon
a
sheet
of
Paper
,
bescrawl'd
with
these
few
lines
.
An
Impertinent
Curiosity
has
cost
me
my
Life
.
If
the
News
of
my
Death
shall
reach
Camilla's
Ears
,
let
her
know
,
that
I
Pardon
her
,
since
I
never
expected
I
had
marry'd
into
the
Family
of
Perfection
,
or
ever
took
her
for
Nature's
Miracle
.
For
if
she
yielded
,
and
I
my self
was
the
Master-Wheel
that
mov'd
the
Devils
Temptation
,
t
is
but
just
—
Thus
far
had
Anselm
written
;
and
here
,
't
is
probable
,
that
by
some
mistake
i'
the
Sign
,
his
Executioner
was
quicker
then
the
poor
Sufferer
intended
.
However
,
't
is
no
wonder
,
that
a
man
in
his
Condition
should
be
thus
over-whelm'd
by
Death
.
For
they
say
,
that
Cuckolds
breeding
Horns
,
are
like
Children
breeding
Teeth
:
Some
breed
their
Teeth
with
little
trouble
,
others
with
so
much
pain
,
that
it
kills
'
em
.
The
next
day
Anselm's
Friend
gave
notice
of
his
death
to
his
Parents
,
who
,
for
ought
I
find
by
the
Story
,
were
nothing
concern'd
at
it
.
As
for
Camilla
,
she
was
in
the
same
condition
,
just
ready
to
follow
her
Husband
;
but
don't
mistake
me
,
't
was
not
for
the
death
of
her
Husband
,
but
for
the
absence
of
her
dear
Lothario
.
Some
say
,
she
liv'd
pretty
honest
,
till
hearing
that
Lothario
was
slain
,
either
in
Europe
,
or
Asia
,
or
Africa
,
or
America
,
or
somewhere
;
but
she
then
lanch'd
into
the
World
,
and
proving
a
Soul
,
split
against
the
two
common
Rocks
of
Clap
and
Brandy
;
so
far
from
being
the
Theam
of
all
the
Poets
of
the
Age
,
that
there
was
not
so
much
as
one
Ballad-maker
at
her
Funeral
.
This
Novel
,
said
the
Curate
,
seems
to
me
a
strange
Party
per
pale
Business
.
For
a
Man
to
tempt
,
and
for
a
Woman
to
be
tempted
,
is
no
wonder
;
nay
,
for
a
Woman
to
be
overcome
by
that
Temptation
,
tho
she
were
one
of
those
that
stand
so
demurely
at
the
Bull
and
Mouth
a
Sundays
,
is
no
News
—
But
for
a
man
to
labour
and
toyl
so
industriously
to
Cuckold
himself
,
is
to
me
a
Mystery
.
Yet
if
there
be
any
that
are
such
Widgeonly
Dolts
,
't
is
my
Opinion
,
they
ought
to
be
serv'd
the
same
sawce
that
Anselm
was
—
However
,
as
long
as
I
live
,
they
shan't
scape
my
Almanack
.
For
tho
a
Lover
might
be
so
over-seen
,
for
a
Husband
to
be
such
a
Coxcomb
,
is
hardly
to
be
imagin'd
.
CHAP.
IX
.
Recounting
several
Rare
Adventures
that
happen'd
in
the
Inn.
AT
the
same
time
,
the
Inn-keeper
,
standing
at
the
Inn-door
,
to
see
what
Company
he
could
spy
upon
the
Road
;
A
hey-boys
,
cry'd
he
:
Here
they
come
Trill-lill
,
y
fackins
—
A
jolly
Crew
I
'le
warrant
—
If
they
do
but
stop
here
now
—
By
St.
George
,
and
his
fair
Lady
Sabrina
to
boot
,
we
'l
sing
Old
Rose
to
Night
—
What
a
noise
does
that
bawling
Oat-stealer
make
there
,
quo
the
Curate
—
What
Company
's
that
which
is
coming
?
Four
Gentlemen
,
reply'd
the
Inn-keeper
,
a
Horse-back
,
upon
the
ran
dan
,
like
young
Citizens
between
London
and
Brainford
—
Gentlemen
!
They
may
be
Knights
,
for
ought
I
know
,
for
they
have
Lances
and
Bucklers
all
,
and
every
one
a
black
Mask
over
his
Nose
—
Hoy-day
—
there
's
a
Gentlewoman
too
upon
a
Gonhelly
follows
behind
'em
a
Tittop
,
a
Tittop
,
but
whether
foul
or
fair
,
no
body
can
tell
;
for
she
's
under
a
black
Cloud
as
well
as
the
rest
—
How
far
are
they
off
,
quo
the
Curate
?
—
Close
at
hand
,
reply'd
the
Inn
keeper
.
Presently
Mrs.
Dorothy
clapt
on
her
Mask
too
;
and
Cardenio
,
that
was
not
asham'd
to
shew
all
that
he
had
,
but
a
little
before
,
now
not
thinking
his
Clothes
good
enough
,
went
up
to
Don
Quixote's
Chamber
.
Presently
the
Masquerades
came
thund'ring
into
the
Inn-yard
,
and
alighting
,
immediately
the
person
that
seem'd
to
be
the
most
sparkish
above
all
the
rest
,
went
to
the
Lady
,
and
taking
her
down
from
her
Side-saddle
in
his
Arms
,
seated
her
in
a
Chair
just
at
the
entrance
into
the
Chamber
where
Cardenio
was
gone
to
hide
himself
.
All
this
while
not
one
of
the
Company
had
pull'd
off
their
Masks
,
or
so
much
as
spok'n
a
word
,
only
the
Lady
fetch'd
a
deep
Sigh
as
she
sate
,
and
at
the
same
time
let
fall
her
Arms
,
as
if
she
had
been
dropping
into
a
Swoon
.
The
Curate
,
whose
Curiosity
was
strangely
heighten'd
by
this
Disguise
and
profound
Silence
,
follow'd
the
Lacquies
into
the
Stable
,
and
enquir'd
of
one
of
'em
,
who
these
Sparks
were
?
As
I'
m
a
Sinner
to
Heav'n
,
answer'd
the
Lacquey
,
I
know
not
how
to
satisfie
ye
farther
then
this
,
That
I
believe
'em
to
be
all
Persons
of
Quality
,
especially
the
Person
that
help'd
the
Lady
down
,
because
the
rest
give
him
a
world
a'
Respect
.
But
who
is
the
Lady
,
quo
the
Curate
?
Nay
,
Sir
,
he
must
be
a
Conjurer
that
can
tell
ye
,
for
me
,
reply'd
the
Lacquey
;
for
all
along
as
we
came
,
I
never
saw
so
much
as
the
tip
of
her
Chin
;
but
tho
she
hid
her
Face
from
my
sight
,
she
could
not
stop
my
Ears
,
for
they
were
Witnesses
of
her
continual
Complaints
,
and
her
Sighs
,
so
loud
and
so
mournful
,
as
would
ha'
made
a
Crocodile
to
weep
in
earnest
.
Nor
is
it
a
wonder
we
should
know
so
little
,
having
serv'd
'em
but
two
days
,
from
the
time
they
met
us
upon
the
Road
,
when
they
told
us
,
they
were
going
to
Andaluzia
,
and
would
pay
us
well
for
our
Pains
,
if
we
would
attend
'em
thither
.
What!
quo
the
Curate
,
did
they
never
talk
,
nor
call
one
another
by
their
Names
?
No
,
Sir
,
—
they
travell'd
together
more
speechless
then
their
Horses
;
for
they
did
not
so
much
as
neighie
one
to
another
.
So
that
we
heard
nothing
but
the
sad
and
doleful
Lamentations
of
the
poor
Lady
,
whom
we
suppose
to
be
some
Fortune
,
whom
these
Gentlemen
have
stoll'n
out
of
some
Boarding-School
,
and
are
carrying
her
away
to
be
marry'd
against
her
Consent
.
That
may
very
well
be
,
reply'd
the
Curate
,
nor
is
it
the
first
time
such
Pranks
have
been
plaid
i'
this
Country
.
And
so
leaving
the
Stable
,
he
return'd
to
Mrs.
Dorothy
,
who
,
out
of
a
Female
Compassion
of
her
Sex
in
distress
,
was
officiously
profering
her
Service
to
the
Lady
,
and
whispering
her
i'
the
Ear
,
as
may
be
suppos'd
,
to
know
whether
she
had
any
Occasion
for
private
Retirement
(
for
the
House
of
Office
is
a
Place
where
the
Female
Sex
at
the
same
time
frequently
discharge
their
Back-sides
,
and
disburden
their
Hearts
.
)
Truly
Mrs.
Dorothy
was
passing
kind
,
she
proffer'd
to
attend
her
into
her
Chamber
,
unlace
her
Stays
,
pull
off
her
Stockins
,
and
help
her
to
bed
:
But
after
all
,
the
Devil
a
word
would
the
Gentlewoman
in
the
Mask
speak
.
Upon
which
,
Mrs.
Dorothy
concluded
,
that
she
was
tak'n
with
a
dangerous
Disease
call'd
the
Mullegrubs
.
And
at
length
the
Spark
that
had
tak'n
her
off
from
her
Horse
,
addressing
himself
to
Mrs.
Dorothy
,
Madam
,
said
he
,
you
may
spare
your self
the
Labour
—
All
the
Kindnesses
you
proffer
that
Lady
,
are
but
Fish
of
two
days
old
—
There
's
no
more
Gratitude
in
her
,
then
there
grows
Plum-pudding
in
a
Bean-shell
;
and
therefore
,
Madam
,
unless
ye
have
a
mind
to
hear
a
Company
of
Stories
and
Lyes
,
never
desire
her
to
open
her
Lips
.
The
Spark
had
better
a'
held
his
Peace
—
for
upon
his
so
saying
,
the
distressed
Lady
found
her
Tongue
again
.
No
,
no
,
Mr.
Foul-mouth
,
said
she
,
you
that
never
spoke
Truth
i'
your
life
,
never
found
me
such
a
Lyar
,
as
you
pretend
to
make
me
.
But
because
you
can't
make
a
Fool
of
me
,
and
have
your
Will
,
therefore
I
tell
Stories
—
But
I
must
tell
ye
,
Sir
,
't
is
my
Constancy
,
and
Scorn
of
your
Treats
,
your
Guinies
,
your
Point-Laces
,
and
your
Gold
Watches
,
that
has
reduc'd
me
to
this
Condition
.
Mercy
upon
me
!
cry'd
Cardenio
,
who
distinctly
heard
every
word
the
Lady
said
,
What
Voice
is
this
I
hear
?
Presently
the
Lady
hearing
Cardenio's
Exclamation
,
gave
a
sudden
Start
,
and
rising
from
her
Chair
quite
another
Woman
,
would
have
enter'd
the
Chamber
from
whence
the
Voice
came
,
but
was
prevented
by
the
Spark
that
stood
by
her
.
However
,
in
the
midst
of
that
restless
Commotion
of
mind
she
was
in
,
her
Veil
fell
from
her
Head
,
and
notwithstanding
her
inward
Anguish
,
and
the
Paleness
of
her
Cheeks
,
discover'd
a
most
incomparable
Beauty
.
On
the
other
side
,
the
Spark
that
rudely
held
her
down
by
the
Shoulders
,
was
so
earnestly
busy'd
to
keep
her
from
rising
,
that
his
Mask
dropt
from
his
Nose
,
not
daring
to
stir
his
Hand
;
at
what
time
Mrs.
Dorothy
standing
by
the
Disconsolate
Lady
,
and
looking
up
in
the
Spark's
Face
,
presently
knew
him
to
be
Don
Ferdinand
,
as
one
that
had
not
only
seen
,
but
felt
him
too
more
then
once
or
twenty
times
before
that
.
This
caus'd
such
a
Fermentation
of
various
Passions
,
and
that
Fermentation
brought
such
a
Qualm
over
Mrs.
Dorothy's
Heart
,
that
she
fell
down
in
a
Swoon
.
Immediately
the
Curate
,
for
young
Parsons
are
generally
very
handy
about
Women
,
pulls
off
her
Mask
from
her
Face
,
to
give
her
Air
;
at
what
time
D.
Ferdinand
was
no
less
astonish'd
to
see
that
it
should
be
Mrs.
Dorothy
.
Never
was
Bell-founder
so
confounded
when
his
Mettle
miscarries
;
however
he
wou'd
not
let
Lucinda
stir
,
for
she
it
was
that
he
held
all
this
while
(
see
by
the
way
how
Murder
begins
to
come
out
)
and
she
it
was
,
who
struggl'd
with
all
her
might
to
get
out
of
D.
Ferdinand's
Clutches
,
as
mad
as
a
Cow
to
come
to
her
Calf
,
to
get
to
her
Cardenio
,
whom
she
knew
by
his
Bleating
.
On
the
other
side
,
Cardenio
hearing
the
Shriek
that
swooning
Mrs.
Dorothy
gave
,
and
believing
it
had
been
his
Lucinda
,
whom
he
also
smelt
by
a
particular
Steam
that
she
had
about
her
,
flung
out
of
the
Chamber
like
one
half
har'd
out
of
his
Wits
;
't
was
a
thousand
to
one
his
Soul
had
not
broke
her
Neck
for
haste
out
at
his
Ears
.
For
he
never
could
endure
that
any
body
should
handle
Lucinda
,
but
himself
.
And
now
the
Game
begins
:
Astonishment
upon
Astonishment
,
Amazement
upon
Amazement
,
Wonder
upon
Wonder
.
Lucinda
star'd
upon
Cardenio
,
He
upon
Her
—
Is
't
thou
,
quo
he
?
Is
't
thou
,
quo
she
?
Ferdinand
star'd
upon
Mrs.
Dorothy
,
she
upon
him
.
Cardenio
star'd
upon
Ferdinand
,
Ferdinand
upon
Cardenio
;
and
so
they
star'd
upon
one
another
to
the
end
o'
the
Chapter
.
At
length
,
after
they
had
star'd
out
their
Stare
,
Lucinda
was
the
first
that
brake
silence
,
and
addressing
her self
to
D.
Ferdinand
;
Hands
off
,
for
shame
,
quo
she
,
good
my
Lord
Ferdinand
;
and
at
last
,
if
ye
know
how
to
be
so
,
be
civil
,
shew
your self
a
Gentleman
,
and
don't
think
to
hector
me
out
of
my
Maiden-head
that
I
reserve
for
one
that
better
deserves
it
.
You
know
that
all
your
Prodigality
,
nor
all
your
Menaces
could
ever
move
me
—
my
Resolution
is
fix'd
;
and
therefore
be
assur'd
I
'le
rather
marry
a
Small-coal-man
or
a
Chimney-Sweeper
,
and
cry
Hogs-Puddings
about
the
Streets
,
then
marry
such
a
Roister
as
your
Worship
—
Here
stands
Cardenio
,
to
whom
I
have
long
since
demis'd
my
Heart
,
with
all
its
Appurtenances
,
to
have
and
to
hold
in
Fee-Tail
to
Perpetuity
.
Give
him
therefore
quiet
Possession
,
as
Law
and
Justice
requires
,
or
if
you
intend
to
be
a
continual
Plague
to
me
,
terminate
my
Life
and
my
Misfortunes
both
together
.
During
these
Expostulations
,
Mrs.
Dorothy
being
by
this
time
come
to
her self
,
and
understanding
't
was
Lucinda
that
spoke
,
yet
finding
that
D.
Ferdinand
would
neither
let
go
his
hold
,
nor
give
any
Answer
to
the
reasonable
Requests
Lucinda
made
him
,
up
she
rose
,
and
advancing
towards
him
with
her
Handkerchief
before
her
Eyes
—
Sir
,
said
she
,
if
y'
have
any
spark
of
Grace
or
Gentility
,
look
upon
a
Woman
,
whom
your
Perjuries
have
made
so
—
a
Woman
,
to
whom
once
you
promis'd
Mountains
of
Happiness
,
but
have
now
render'd
miserable
.
Consider
,
Sir
,
that
in
the
sight
of
Heav'n
,
you
are
my
lawful
Husband
—
You
cannot
forget
the
time
when
you
enter'd
into
the
Obligation
—
and
tho
there
were
no
Witness
to
it
,
you
cannot
but
know
,
that
you
seal'd
it
at
the
same
time
with
your
own
Seal
—
What
a
murrain
—
how
many
Wives
would
ye
have
—
?
As
many
as
the
ancient
Jews
—
?
If
so
,
Sir
stay
till
the
Law
allows
it
—
the
West-Country
Knight
has
not
yet
got
his
Bill
past
—
In
the
mean
time
consider
what
an
Injury
you
do
your
own
Sex
—
for
what
Maid
will
ever
trust
a
young
Man
again
,
for
your
sake
?
I
pity'd
your
Sighs
,
your
Sobs
,
your
Tears
,
and
your
Lamentations
—
I
had
Compassion
upon
your
Moans
,
and
your
Groans
,
and
the
mournful
Out-cries
of
your
Impatience
,
and
believing
I
might
believe
a
Person
of
your
Quality
,
I
was
at
length
,
tho
you
well
know
it
was
a
long
time
first
,
prevail'd
with
by
my
Commiseration
,
and
trusted
to
your
Honesty
—
But
what
Maid
will
ever
pity
a
Person
of
Quality
more
?
't
was
this
Compassion
of
mine
,
that
for
the
Relief
of
your
crying
Necessities
,
and
impatient
Distresses
,
made
me
venture
the
Disgraces
of
a
great
Belly
,
and
who
knows
but
that
I
might
ha'
come
to
the
Misfortune
of
being
hang'd
for
stifling
the
poor
Baby
in
a
House
of
Office
?
And
can
you
turn
away
your
ungrateful
Eyes
from
one
that
has
so
deeply
hazarded
her
Honour
and
her
Life
,
upon
the
Confidence
she
had
of
your
Vertue
,
and
your
Justice
?
If
I
were
more
forward
then
I
should
ha'
been
,
were
not
you
more
hasty
then
I
?
And
therefore
do
but
marry
me
,
't
is
all
I
desire
—
then
keep
as
many
Misses
afterwards
as
you
please
,
I
'le
never
say
,
Love
,
why
d'
ye
so
?
I
'le
never
be
moody
when
ye
come
home
fuddl'd
,
nor
upbraid
ye
for
losing
your
Money
at
Play
;
but
marry
me
,
I
beseech
ye
—
save
my
Life
,
and
take
my
Goods
—
When
you
first
courted
me
,
you
told
me
I
was
fair
;
and
am
I
so
much
older
since
that
?
Be
not
so
scrupulous
,
Sir
,
especially
in
such
an
Age
of
Liberty
as
this
is
,
when
any
thing
will
serve
for
a
Wife
—
And
your
Wife
I
am
as
sure
as
Eggs
be
Eggs
,
if
you
are
but
half
as
true
and
real
to
me
,
as
one
Pick-pocket
is
to
another
.
As
for
Lucinda
,
you
see
she
belongs
to
another
Man
.
And
why
should
you
that
have
a
Park
o'
your
own
,
be
so
strangely
absurd
,
that
nothing
will
serve
ye
,
but
to
hunt
in
another
man's
Enclosure
?
If
this
that
I
have
said
will
not
prevail
,
read
Baxter's
Saints
Everlasting
Rest
,
and
see
what
Rest
you
are
like
have
either
in
this
,
or
the
other
World
,
after
so
many
falsify'd
Oathes
and
Perjuries
as
you
ha'
committed
.
D.
Ferdinand
being
thus
rally'd
between
Jest
and
Earnest
,
found
himself
shot
between
wind
and
water
.
On
the
one
side
,
her
undeniable
matter
of
Fact
had
vanquish'd
all
the
Arguments
of
his
libertine
Folly
,
and
the
Tears
and
Sobs
that
seconded
her
serious
Admonitions
,
had
stuck
so
many
Crums
in
the
Throat
of
his
Conscience
,
that
finding
himself
so
run
down
both
by
Reason
and
Morality
,
he
quitted
Lucinda
,
and
ran
with
his
Arms
expanded
like
the
Wings
of
a
Cherubim
,
and
embracing
Mrs.
Dorothy
;
My
dear
Dolly
,
quo
he
,
no
longer
now
plain
Dorothy
,
but
lac'd
Madam
Dorothy
,
live
and
be
a
Lady
,
since
Fate
will
have
it
so
.
't
is
true
,
I
did
debauch
thee
—
but
before
all
this
Company
,
here
's
my
hand
upon
't
,
I
'le
mend
thee
up
again
as
sound
in
Law
,
as
e're
thou
wert
i'
thy
life
.
For
thine
,
my
dear
Dolly
,
is
only
a
Stitch
fall'n
i'
thy
Reputation
,
which
the
Needle
and
Thread
of
Wedlock
will
repair
at
any
time
.
With
that
he
gave
her
a
Kiss
,
and
at
the
same
Instant
breath'd
a
new
Soul
into
her
Body
.
On
the
other
side
,
Lucinda
had
been
so
long
supported
by
D.
Ferdinand
,
that
finding
her self
at
Liberty
,
she
was
like
to
ha'
fall'n
to
the
Ground
,
had
not
Cardenio
,
who
all
the
while
stood
behind
D.
Ferdinand
,
because
he
wou'd
not
be
seen
,
caught
her
up
in
his
Arms
For
tho
she
were
glad
to
see
that
all
things
fadg'd
so
well
with
Mrs.
Dorothy
,
yet
some
little
Qualms
of
Envy
at
that
good
Fortune
in
another
,
which
she
thought
as
due
to
her self
,
made
such
a
deep
Impression
upon
her
Spirits
,
as
made
the
whole
Frame
of
her
Microcosm
begin
to
totter
.
But
then
,
fair
Lucinda
,
cry'd
Cardenio
,
considering
the
Feebleness
of
your
Condition
,
you
cannot
be
better
then
in
the
Arms
of
him
that
has
always
lov'd
ye
from
his
Infancy
.
With
that
,
Lucinda
turning
her
Head
,
and
perceiving
him
to
be
her
beloved
Cardenio
,
Heav'ns
!
she
was
ready
to
jump
out
of
her
Skin
;
up
she
leapt
as
nimble
as
a
Bird
,
and
darting
her self
about
Cardenio's
Neck
;
And
is
it
thee
,
my
dear
Husband
,
quo
she
?
What
Miracles
are
these
?
Did
I
ever
think
,
by
such
a
strange
Accident
as
this
,
to
meet
again
the
Joy
and
Comfort
of
my
Life
?
And
then
seconding
her
amorous
Expressions
with
amorous
Actions
,
forgetful
quite
of
either
Time
or
Place
,
she
joyn'd
her
Lips
so
close
to
his
,
that
Cardenio
might
easily
feel
her
Mind
,
and
know
what
she
wou'd
ha'
been
at
,
had
the
Opportunity
been
favourable
.
But
these
Endearments
between
Lucinda
and
Cardenio
,
did
no
way
please
D.
Ferdinand
:
For
,
notwithstanding
all
his
new
Engagements
to
Mrs.
Dorothy
,
he
had
still
an
aking
Tooth
after
Mrs.
Lucinda
.
And
he
could
not
but
think
he
had
some
Right
to
her
too
,
considering
the
Money
she
cost
him
.
So
that
he
began
to
change
Colour
,
and
fall
a
handling
the
Hilt
of
his
Sword
with
his
Right
Hand
;
cursed
Symptoms
of
Mischief
in
his
Mind
.
Which
my
Lady
Dorothy
observing
—
ran
to
him
,
and
catching
him
about
the
Middle
,
Sir
,
said
she
,
since
you
have
now
been
pleas'd
to
own
me
for
a
Wife
,
be
pleas'd
to
hear
me
when
I
utter
Reason
—
How
!
quo
D.
Ferdinand
,
what
,
breaking
Covenants
already
!
No
,
Sir
,
quo
my
Lady
Dorothy
—
I
neither
chide
ye
for
being
fuddl'd
,
nor
tax
ye
for
losing
your
Money
;
nor
am
I
going
about
to
perswade
ye
from
keeping
a
Mistress
;
be
as
modish
as
you
please
,
Sir
,
but
never
meddle
with
other
Men's
Wives
.
There
are
single
Gentlewomen
enow
i'
the
World
,
that
would
be
glad
to
serve
ye
—
And
therefore
why
should
you
meddle
with
Madam
Lucinda
?
In
the
first
place
,
you
see
she
can't
endure
ye
:
And
by
my
new
recover'd
Happiness
,
I
swear
,
were
I
a
Man
,
I
'd
not
give
my
old
Shoe-strings
for
a
Woman
that
did
not
love
me
as
well
as
I
lov'd
her
—
Besides
,
Sir
,
you
see
her
Affections
at
present
are
engag'd
quite
another
way
—
So
that
you
may
as
well
think
to
remove
Bow-Steeple
,
with
all
the
Bells
in
't
,
to
Highgate
,
as
think
to
unsettle
her
Love
in
the
Honey-moon
of
her
doating
fondness
.
And
therefore
seek
not
to
sunder
thus
an
amorous
Pair
,
that
Heaven
seems
to
have
so
pleasingly
united
.
Surely
your
heat
for
me
cannot
as
yet
be
so
extinguish'd
,
but
that
you
may
find
Divertisement
sufficient
,
at
least
,
till
you
find
my
Passion
begin
to
cool
—
Come
try
me
,
Sir
,
I
'le
find
ye
Sport
enough
,
I
'le
warrant
ye
;
for
I
may
talk
a
little
freely
now
—
We
were
sever'd
by
Disaster
,
and
now
here
we
are
met
again
together
by
a
Miracle
;
which
,
as
it
is
the
Work
of
a
Superiour
Power
,
never
oppose
Fate
,
nor
seek
to
unravel
a
Bottom
,
which
the
Destinies
are
so
harmoniously
winding
up
;
nor
spoil
the
last
Scene
of
a
Tragi-Comedy
,
that
begins
to
conclude
so
naturally
,
that
all
the
Poets
in
Town
,
could
never
ha'
brought
it
so
exactly
to
pass
.
While
my
Lady
Dorothy
was
thus
laying
the
Law
to
D.
Ferdinand
,
Cardenio
who
held
his
Lucinda
,
as
the
Lobster
held
the
Hair
upon
Salisbury-Plain
,
watch'd
D.
Ferdinand's
Sword-hand
,
for
fear
of
being
surpriz'd
,
as
being
resolv'd
before
he
would
part
with
Lucinda
again
,
to
have
ventur'd
half
a
dozen
Oylet-holes
in
his
Skin
.
But
D.
Ferdinand's
Friends
and
the
Curate
perceiving
how
the
two
Desperado's
look'd
one
upon
another
,
like
two
Boar-Cats
,
ready
to
dispute
the
Possession
of
Madam
Grey-Maulkin
,
to
prevent
Mischief
,
ran
to
D.
Ferdinand
,
and
besought
him
to
consider
,
that
he
had
already
before
'em
all
acknowledg'd
Madam
Dorothy
for
his
Wife
;
and
therefore
to
hinder
another
from
what
he
could
not
enjoy
himself
,
was
like
Hunt's
Dog
,
that
would
neither
go
to
Church
,
nor
stay
at
home
.
Then
the
Curate
stept
in
,
and
desir'd
him
to
consider
what
would
become
of
him
,
should
he
be
Lungs
or
Liver-tapp'd
in
an
unjust
Quarrel
;
That
he
did
ill
to
shew
his
boistrous
Propensity
,
and
his
ranging
Humour
to
a
young
Lady
,
that
had
the
same
Advantages
of
Form
and
Beauty
with
the
person
for
whom
he
contended
—
withal
,
the
Curate
bid
him
beware
what
he
did
,
for
that
such
Rudenesses
as
those
would
bring
him
within
the
Verge
of
the
Spiritual
Court
—
and
that
the
Law
took
its
Course
as
well
against
the
Lord
as
the
Peasant
—
That
he
must
be
forc'd
to
come
in
a
Witness
against
him
,
upon
his
Promise
to
Madam
Dorothy
,
which
would
go
a
great
way
in
her
Cause
,
and
would
procure
her
Alimony
in
spite
of
his
Teeth
—
and
therefore
it
would
be
much
better
to
perform
that
willingly
which
he
had
promis'd
to
do
,
then
to
be
forc'd
to
it
to
his
Dishonour
,
and
for
the
whole
Court
to
cry
out
shame
upon
him
.
D.
Ferdinand
,
who
was
not
so
resty
neither
,
but
that
he
might
be
curb'd
by
Reason
,
finding
that
his
own
Friends
forsook
him
,
and
that
no
body
took
his
part
,
surrendred
at
length
to
Reason
and
Necessity
;
and
then
embracing
once
more
his
almost-forgotten
Object
of
Matrimony
,
Lady
,
said
he
,
dry
up
your
Tears
,
for
I
can
no
longer
suffer
her
to
weep
,
to
whom
I
have
giv'n
my
Heart
;
forget
the
Injuries
and
Injustice
I
ha'
done
thee
,
for
which
my
Repentance
and
Lucinda's
Beauty
,
may
in
some
measure
excuse
me
.
But
since
I
now
perceive
there
is
not
a
T
—
to
chuse
,
let
Lucinda
contentedly
enjoy
her
dear
Cardenio
,
and
let
my
Nut-brown
Dolly
be
the
Blessing
of
my
Life
;
Boys
and
Girls
be
the
Consequences
of
our
Amours
,
and
be
thou
sure
to
save
a
Portion
for
thy
second
Daughter
,
out
of
House-keeping
.
And
with
that
,
he
embrac'd
his
beloved
Madam
Dorothy
with
such
an
amorous
Heat
,
and
such
a
tender
Affection
,
that
he
who
breath'd
nothing
but
Duels
and
Sa-Sa's
but
just
now
,
himself
was
ready
to
melt
into
a
Deluge
of
Cow-baby
Tears
.
On
the
other
side
,
Lucinda
and
Cardenio
had
no
such
Command
over
the
Sluces
of
their
Eyes
,
but
that
the
Surplusage
of
their
Joy
caus'd
a
kind
of
April-Shower
in
the
midst
of
the
Sun-shine
of
their
Content
,
to
trickle
down
their
Cheeks
;
so
strangely
overjoy'd
they
were
for
the
Felicity
of
their
Friend
,
no
more
expected
then
their
own
sudden
Accumulations
of
Happiness
.
But
those
Tears
of
Affection
being
soon
dry'd
,
all
their
Sorrows
were
as
soon
forgot
,
and
they
fell
a
kissing
,
Ferdinand
and
Dolly
,
Cardenio
and
Lucinda
,
like
young
Citizens
and
their
Wives
in
an
Epsom-Coach
.
Only
Sancho
,
who
wept
for
Company's-sake
,
could
not
so
soon
recover
from
his
Melancholy
,
in
regard
it
proceeded
from
another
Cause
.
For
he
,
alas
!
was
sorely
griev'd
,
that
Mrs.
Dorothy
was
not
the
Princess
of
Micomicona
,
and
that
he
had
lost
all
the
hopes
of
his
so
long
gap'd-for
Earldom
.
At
length
Lucinda
and
Cardenio
return'd
a
thousand
Thanks
to
Don
Ferdinand
for
all
his
Favours
in
the
Surrender
of
his
Copy
●old
,
which
they
did
in
that
Courtly
Language
,
that
Don
Ferdinand
being
at
a
stand
for
verbal
Complements
,
repaid
'em
in
silent
Embraces
only
,
and
close
Hugs
;
which
was
all
he
could
do
at
that
time
to
display
the
Testimonies
of
his
Satisfaction
.
At
the
same
time
Don
Ferdinand
requested
Madam
Dorothy
to
tell
him
how
she
came
into
a
Countrey
so
far
distant
from
her
own
;
who
thereupon
repeated
to
him
all
that
she
had
recounted
to
the
Curate
and
Cardenio
,
with
such
a
Grace
,
that
her
Husband
in
Posse
was
ravish'd
at
her
Discourse
,
and
vow'd
,
That
if
all
her
Curtain-Lectures
prov'd
no
worse
then
her
Story-telling
,
he
should
think
himself
blest
in
a
Bed-fellow
.
After
that
,
Don
Ferdinand
related
what
had
befall'n
him
at
Lucinda's
House
the
Night
that
he
should
have
been
marry'd
;
how
he
found
the
Letter
in
her
Bosom
,
wherein
she
declar'd
,
that
she
was
marry'd
to
Cardenio
;
which
transported
him
to
that
degree
of
Rage
and
Fury
,
that
he
would
ha'
kill'd
her
,
but
that
her
Parents
prevented
him
(
for
to
say
the
Truth
,
't
was
an
ugly
Disappointment
.
)
That
after
this
confounded
Baulk
,
he
flung
out
of
the
House
,
and
resolv'd
to
be
reveng'd
upon
her
,
the
first
time
he
met
with
her
.
That
afterwards
he
was
inform'd
,
how
that
Lucinda
had
taken
a
Ramble
,
and
was
run
a
Wild-goose
Chase
,
but
whither
all
the
Conjurers
and
Saffolds
in
London
could
not
tell
—
but
that
at
length
he
heard
she
had
shelter'd
her self
at
a
famous
Boarding-School
i'
the
Country
,
where
he
lay
perdue
for
some
Days
,
to
watch
her
Motions
;
and
observing
that
she
was
wont
to
walk
out
i'
the
Evening
to
a
certain
Cheese-cake
House
,
about
a
Mile
from
her
Habitation
,
to
spend
her
Six-pence
with
some
of
her
Companions
,
in
Tarts
and
Bottle-drink
,
he
got
three
of
his
Acquaintance
,
besides
himself
,
well
mounted
,
with
a
leer
Hobby
for
Lucinda
;
and
meeting
her
returning
i'
the
mid-way
home
,
notwithstanding
all
her
squealing
,
and
her
squaling
,
having
fix'd
her
in
her
Saddle
,
he
led
her
such
a
Race
,
while
the
Gentleman
that
follow'd
,
whipp'd
on
the
Hobby
behind
,
that
they
soon
got
out
of
the
reach
of
Pursuit
.
After
which
,
they
wander'd
up
and
down
from
place
to
place
,
till
guided
by
their
good
Fortune
,
they
arriv'd
in
that
Inn
,
where
so
many
miraculous
Accidents
had
befall'n
'

.
CHAP.
X.
Being
a
Continuation
of
the
History
of
the
Famous
Princess
of
Micomicona
,
with
other
Delightful
Adventures
.
SAncho
,
who
listen'd
attentively
to
every
word
was
said
,
was
almost
at
his
Wits
end
,
to
find
all
his
Hopes
blown
up
like
a
Chymist's
Furnace
,
when
he
thought
himself
sure
o'
the
Philosopher's
Stone
;
and
that
the
Princess
of
Micomicona
was
metamorphos'd
into
Mrs.
Dorothy
,
and
the
Giant
Pandafilando
into
Don
Ferdinand
;
while
Don
Quixote
lay
snorting
and
snoring
at
his
ease
,
regardless
altogether
of
the
important
Interests
of
his
poor
Squire
.
In
this
forlorn
,
afflicted
,
and
melancholy
Condition
Sancho
entring
Don
Quixote's
Chamber
,
who
now
began
to
be
awake
;
Your
Worship
now
,
Sir
Knight
of
the
Ill-favour'd
Countenance
,
said
he
,
may
take
a
Nap
for
seven
Years
together
,
if
you
please
,
without
vexing
or
tormenting
your
Soul
about
restoring
the
Princess
Micomicona
to
her
Throne
,
or
fighting
any
more
Giants
;
for
your
Quietus
is
already
Sign'd
,
the
business
is
done
,
and
all
things
are
concluded
.
I
believe
what
thou
say'st
,
reply'd
Don
Quixote
;
for
it
is
not
above
three
minutes
since
I
had
so
much
leisure
as
to
take
a
little
breath
:
For
I
have
been
engag'd
for
these
fifteen
hours
in
the
most
dismal
,
desperate
,
dreadful
,
furious
,
terrible
Encounter
with
a
huge
,
horrid
,
grizzle-bearded
,
Sawcer-ey'd
,
Whale-mouth'd
Giant
that
ever
was
recorded
in
Story
,
true
or
feign'd
:
The
Father
of
all
the
Devils
made
me
sweat
for
't
,
as
if
I
had
been
i'
the
Bagnio
.
But
at
length
,
with
a
true
right
Bear-Garden
Butcher's
back-stroke
,
I
fetch'd
off
his
Head
so
smooth
,
and
so
clean
,
and
hit
the
Joynt
so
like
a
Shrieves
Carver
,
that
were
the
Giant
alive
again
,
I
am
confident
ha'
wou'd
thank
me
for
putting
him
so
soon
out
of
his
pain
.
The
Rogue
was
vengeance
full
of
Blood
too
,
Sancho
;
for
it
spouted
out
of
his
Vena
Cava
,
and
Vena
Porta
,
the
great
Aorta
,
the
Axillaries
,
Pulmonaries
,
and
Jugulars
,
like
so
many
Rivers
,
and
made
such
an
Inundation
,
as
wou'd
ha'
carry'd
a
Western
Barge
—
Vengeance
full
of
Blood
!
Vengeance
full
of
T
—
quo
Sancho
;
for
the
monstrous
Giant
that
you
slew
was
no
other
then
a
great
black
Boracho
,
with
above
forty
flasks
of
Red
Wine
in
his
flagitious
Wemb
.
I
say
Flasks
,
because
they
are
a
little
bigger
then
your
ordinary
Quart-Bottles
.
As
for
the
Blood
that
made
such
an
Innundation
i'
the
Room
,
't
was
nothing
but
that
same
Red
Wine
which
your
hair-brain'd
Worship
spilt
—
I
wish
your
Worship
choak'd
when
you
did
it
—
And
then
for
the
Head
you
cut
off
,
't
was
the
Whores
that
brought
me
into
the
world
,
I
think
,
for
Satan
has
carry'd
it
away
—
Hoy
day
,
Sancho
—
quo
Don
Quixote
,
what
's
the
matter
?
why
sure
the
fellow
's
not
in
his
wits
—
what
!
ha'st
been
eating
o'
wild
Parsenips
?
—
I'
my
wits
,
quo
Sancho
!
yes
,
and
out
o'
my
wits
too
,
to
see
what
a
Reck'ning
your
Worship
has
to
pay
—
Pray
now
rise
,
will
ye
—
and
see
how
the
face
of
the
world
is
chang'd
below
.
The
Queen
is
chang'd
into
an
ordinary
Chamber-maid
,
that
they
call
plain
Doroty
;
and
several
other
wonders
,
that
will
make
your
hair
stand
an
end
.
No
Wonders
at
all
,
Sancho
,
reply'd
Don
Quixote
;
for
as
I
told
thee
before
,
so
I
tell
thee
again
,
there
is
nothing
but
Enchantment
in
this
House
.
All
this
I
should
be
willing
to
believe
,
reply'd
Sancho
,
had
my
tossing
in
a
Blanket
been
an
Enchantment
;
but
it
was
not
so
,
for
it
was
real
and
true
.
I
remember
that
the
very
Inn-keeper
below
stairs
held
one
corner
of
the
Instrument
of
my
Misery
;
and
toss'd
and
laugh'd
,
and
laugh'd
and
toss'd
more
then
any
of
the
rest
.
Now
,
I
'le
never
believe
,
tho
I
am
no
Schollard
,
but
an
ignorant
Sinner
,
that
when
a
man
knows
the
faces
of
the
Persons
again
,
there
can
be
any
Enchantment
i'
that
case
,
but
bare
ill
Luck
,
such
as
mine
was
.
Well
—
well
—
quo
Don
Quixote
,
let
'em
be
Enchantments
,
or
no
Enchantments
,
I'
m
sure
there
's
something
more
then
ordinary
i'
the
matter
;
and
therefore
gi'
me
my
Clothes
;
for
when
I
come
to
examine
the
business
,
I
shall
soon
smell
it
out
.
While
Don
Quixote
was
dressing
himself
,
the
Curate
gave
Don
Ferdinand
and
the
rest
of
his
Friends
a
short
account
,
what
a
sort
of
Person
this
Famous
Knight
was
;
and
how
they
had
laid
their
Plot
to
cure
him
of
his
Extravagancy
.
But
now
,
added
the
Curate
,
our
first
Design
is
spoyl'd
,
and
we
must
seek
out
some
other
way
to
get
him
home
,
in
regard
that
Madam
Dorothy
is
otherwise
now
concern'd
.
To
which
,
Cardenio
reply'd
,
that
Lucinda
should
act
her
part
.
But
Don
Ferdinand
was
resolv'd
that
Madam
Dorothy
should
go
on
with
her
Cue
;
the
rather
because
that
being
Neighbours
in
a
manner
,
they
might
be
more
ready
to
assist
one
another
.
While
they
were
thus
confabulating
,
enters
Don
Quixote
,
in
his
one
likeness
,
buckl'd
up
in
Iron
from
top
to
toe
,
as
if
Vulcan
had
been
his
Taylor
,
Hosier
,
and
Shoe-maker
;
for
as
for
Trimming
he
had
none
,
but
his
Target
upon
his
shoulder
,
and
his
Lance
in
his
fist
,
and
Mambrino's
Bason
,
batter'd
as
it
was
,
upon
his
Head
:
So
that
nothing
more
was
to
be
seen
of
him
but
his
Tann'd
Countenance
,
his
meager
Cheeks
,
and
his
hollow
Eyes
.
Such
a
strange
Figure
of
a
Mortal
Wight
,
strangely
surpriz'd
Don
Ferdinand
,
and
those
that
were
with
him
,
who
had
never
seen
this
Illustrious
Knight
before
.
They
could
not
but
with
Admiration
behold
his
Ell-long
Visage
,
his
Box-Complexion
,
and
the
strange
disorder
of
his
Whiskers
;
and
with
a
kind
of
awful
Silence
listen'd
to
hear
what
the
Rusty
Apparition
had
to
say
to
'
em
.
Presently
Don
Quixote
,
resting
against
his
Lance
,
and
fixing
his
Eyes
upon
Madam
Dorothy
,
Madam
,
said
he
,
I
understand
by
my
Squire
,
that
you
are
fall'n
from
the
Garret
into
the
Coal-hole
;
that
is
to
say
,
that
from
a
Queen
,
you
are
come
to
plain
Mrs.
Doroty
:
Which
if
it
be
done
by
the
malicious
Contrivance
of
the
Grand
Enchanter
,
the
King
your
Father
,
if
he
were
afraid
I
could
not
give
you
that
Assistance
which
was
requisite
;
I
say
,
the
King
your
Father
was
deceiv'd
,
like
an
Old
Dotard
as
he
was
,
and
little
read
in
the
Histories
of
Chivalry
.
For
had
he
read
'em
but
as
often
and
as
seriously
as
I
ha'
done
,
he
would
ha'
found
,
that
they
are
full
of
Accide●●●
much
more
surprizing
,
and
incomparably
more
difficult
to
be
perform●●
which
yet
have
been
accomplish'd
by
Knights
far
inferiour
,
tho
I
say
it
th●●
shou'd
not
,
to
me
in
Reputation
.
't
is
no
such
great
difficulty
,
as
People
think
,
to
lop
off
the
Head
of
a
Giant
,
tho
he
were
as
big
about
as
the
Duomo
i'
the
Stocks-Market
,
and
as
high
as
the
Monument
.
't
is
not
long
since
I
prov'd
the
truth
of
this
in
an
Encounter
with
two
of
these
Heav'n-Scalers
;
of
which
I
say
no
more
,
because
I
hate
to
be
caught
in
a
Lye
.
Not
with
two
Giants
,
with
your
good
leave
,
Sir
,
but
with
two
harmless
Boracho's
of
Wine
,
quo
the
Inn-keeper
:
And
so
saying
,
he
up
with
a
Bottle
to
have
thrown
at
Don
Quixote's
Head
,
had
not
Don
Ferdinand
commanded
him
to
be
quiet
.
And
then
Don
Quixote
proceeding
;
I
say
then
in
short
,
Thrice
Illustrious
and
Dis-inherited
Lady
,
that
if
this
be
all
the
Reason
,
why
your
Father
has
thus
transmogrify'd
your
Person
,
you
need
not
fear
to
depend
upon
me
;
for
there
is
not
any
Danger
,
Peril
,
or
Hazard
in
the
world
,
that
I
do
not
surmount
by
the
sharp
edge
of
this
Sword
;
and
with
this
Sword
it
is
,
that
after
I
have
laid
at
your
feet
the
Head
of
your
so
redoubted
Enemy
,
I
will
restore
ye
to
the
Throne
of
your
Ancestors
,
and
be
the
daring
Under-Sheriff
that
shall
put
ye
into
the
quiet
Possession
of
your
own
.
Here
Don
Quixote
stopt
,
in
expectation
of
the
Princesses
Answer
:
At
what
time
,
Madam
Dorothy
,
knowing
she
should
please
Don
Ferdinand
in
carrying
on
the
Design
—
with
a
Princely
Air
,
and
Majestick
Seriousness
,
Whoever
told
ye
,
said
she
,
that
I
was
Transmogrify'd
,
most
Valiant
Knight
of
the
Ill-favour'd
Face
,
deceiv'd
ye
with
a
vile
Untruth
;
for
I
am
the
same
to
day
that
I
was
yesterday
.
't
is
true
,
perhaps
some
Change
in
my
Fortune
may
have
happen'd
to
me
for
the
better
since
I
saw
ye
last
;
but
for
all
that
,
I
have
still
the
same
Necessity
to
be
beholding
to
the
force
of
your
Invincible
Arm.
And
therefore
,
I
beseech
ye
,
good
Sir
Knight
,
of
your
accustomed
Generosity
,
restore
my
Father
his
Honour
again
,
and
never
question
but
that
he
was
a
Person
of
Prudence
and
Fore-sight
,
that
could
find
out
a
Means
so
easie
,
and
so
secure
;
nay
,
the
very
Probatum
est
that
could
Cure
all
my
Misfortunes
.
And
in
truth
it
was
a
wonderful
thing
,
and
happy
I'
m
sure
for
me
,
that
I
met
with
such
a
Champion
;
as
being
fully
satisfy'd
,
that
had
it
not
been
for
your
Pleasantries
,
and
the
Chimera's
of
your
Noble
and
Love-sick
Brain
,
I
had
never
been
in
the
Condition
wherein
I
am
.
And
I
believe
the
greatest
part
of
these
Gentlemen
are
of
my
Opinion
,
as
having
been
Witnesses
of
what
has
befall'n
me
since
our
first
meeting
.
In
short
therefore
,
we
have
nothing
more
now
to
do
,
then
to
set
forward
to
morrow
Morning
,
and
for
the
Success
,
I
leave
it
to
Heaven
and
your
Courage
.
When
Mrs.
Doroty
had
thus
discreetly
spoken
,
Don
Quixote
,
turning
to
Sancho
with
the
frowns
of
Choler
and
Indignation
,
Sirrah
,
Sancho
,
said
he
,
now
do
I
find
thee
to
be
the
arrant'st
Varlet
,
Scoundrel
,
and
Rascal
that
ever
was
whelp'd
in
Pickt-Hatch
—
Did
not
your
Rogue-ship
tell
me
,
that
the
Princess
was
turn'd
into
plain
Doroty
?
And
that
the
Giant's
Head
which
I
cut
off
was
the
Whore
your
Mother's
?
What
a
lying
Ragamuffin
wer
't
thou
to
tell
these
Stories
?
By
the
fair
Dulcinea's
Virginity
,
a
little
matter
would
make
me
wring
off
thy
Capon's
Neck
,
and
make
thee
an
Example
to
all
Sons
a'
Whore
lying
Squires
,
that
ever
for
the
future
should
have
the
Honour
to
follow
the
heels
of
a
Knight-Errant
.
Abate
your
Passion
,
Sir
,
quo
Sancho
;
for
tho
I
might
be
perhaps
mistaken
in
the
change
of
Madam
the
Princess
of
Micomicona
;
yet
,
as
to
the
Giant's
Head
,
or
rather
the
head
of
the
murder'd
Boracho's
,
and
the
Blood
that
was
shed
,
which
was
no
other
〈◇〉
Red
Wine
,
by
all
the
Seven
Champions
I
aver
it
to
be
truth
what
I
〈◇〉
and
will
justify
't
to
the
Beards
of
all
the
Knight-Errants
i'
the
world
.
●●n't
tell
me
,
Sir
!
for
there
are
the
wounds
and
gashes
i'
the
Boracho's
still
to
be
seen
;
and
if
y'
have
any
Nose
,
you
may
go
up
and
smell
what
sort
of
Liquor
't
was
made
that
Lake
i'
the
Room
.
For
my
part
,
I
wish
the
Princess
may
not
be
chang'd
for
your
sake
,
for
else
I'
m
afraid
you
must
pawn
even
Rosinante
himself
for
the
Reck'ning
.
Sancho
,
reply'd
Don
Quixote
,
gi'
me
leave
to
tell
thee
,
th'
art
a
Buffle-head
,
and
a
Dunder-head
,
and
a
Cuckow-brains
;
and
so
I
ha'
done
with
thee
for
the
present
.
't
is
more
then
enough
,
Sir
Knight
,
quo
Don
Ferdinand
:
And
now
,
since
the
Princess
is
resolv'd
to
stay
till
to
morrow
Morning
,
let
's
resolve
to
spend
the
Night
as
merrily
as
we
can
.
To
morrow
we
'll
all
accompany
the
Renown'd
Don
Quixote
,
to
the
end
we
may
be
witnesses
of
his
Prowess
,
and
those
Acts
of
wonder
which
we
make
no
Question
but
he
will
perform
,
in
the
accomplishment
of
this
Enterprize
.
No
,
Gentlemen
,
't
is
I
that
shall
have
the
honour
of
your
Company
,
and
who
must
think
my self
for
ever
engag'd
to
ye
,
for
your
good
Opinion
of
me
,
which
I
shall
endeavour
to
preserve
with
the
loss
of
my
Life
,
and
more
then
that
,
had
I
more
to
lose
,
which
God
knows
I
ha'
not
,
considering
the
Mortgages
upon
my
small
Estate
.
But
,
Sir
,
for
Lives
,
had
I
as
many
as
a
Cat
,
they
were
all
at
the
Princesses
Service
.
In
this
manner
how
far
Don
Quixote
and
Don
Ferdinand
would
ha'
gallop'd
on
in
lofty
Complements
,
the
Lord
of
Oxford
knows
,
had
they
not
been
interrupted
by
the
arrival
of
a
Traveller
that
enter'd
the
Inn.
By
his
Habit
they
took
him
for
a
Slave
,
that
had
made
his
escape
from
Argier
:
For
he
was
clad
like
a
Saylor
,
in
a
short
loose
Jerkin
without
a
Collar
,
and
Drawers
of
blew
Linnen
,
such
as
you
shall
see
hang
out
at
the
Slop-sellers
Shops
,
and
a
Cap
upon
his
head
of
the
same
;
with
a
Scymitar
that
hung
from
a
Swash
that
was
girt
about
his
waste
.
He
was
follow'd
by
a
woman
upon
an
Ass
,
in
Moorish
Habit
,
having
a
Veil
upon
her
head
,
that
cover'd
her
Face
,
and
under
her
Veil
a
little
Bonnet
of
Tissue
upon
the
top
of
her
Crown
.
The
rest
of
her
Apparel
that
appear'd
,
was
only
a
long
Simarr
,
that
reach'd
down
to
her
heels
.
The
Slave
was
a
Man
about
forty
Years
of
Age
,
proper
and
well
shap'd
;
and
by
his
Meen
he
appear'd
to
be
a
Person
of
some
Quality
.
He
ask'd
for
a
Chamber
as
soon
as
he
came
into
the
Inn
,
and
seem'd
to
be
very
much
troubl'd
,
when
they
told
him
there
was
ne'r
a
one
empty
.
However
,
he
took
down
the
Moorish
Lady
in
his
Arms
from
her
Ass.
At
what
time
Lucinda
,
Madam
Doroty
,
and
the
women
of
the
Inn
,
attracted
by
the
Novelty
of
a
Habit
which
they
had
never
seen
before
,
accosted
the
Female
Stranger
;
and
after
they
had
star'd
and
gaz'd
upon
her
,
as
long
as
Breeding
and
Good
Manners
would
give
'em
leave
:
Madam
Doroty
,
who
had
observ'd
that
the
Slave
was
much
discontented
for
want
of
a
Chamber
,
addressing
her self
to
the
Stranger
,
Madam
,
said
she
,
never
wonder
to
find
so
little
Breeding
in
a
Carrier's
Inn
,
where
only
a
forc'd
Putt
constrains
any
Persons
of
Condition
to
stop
;
and
therefore
since
the
Woman
o'
the
House
has
so
little
manners
,
as
not
to
proffer
a
Stranger
her
own
Chamber
;
if
you
please
to
joyn
Company
with
us
,
pointing
at
the
same
time
to
Lucinda
,
you
will
meet
with
those
that
will
be
glad
to
serve
a
Stranger
in
your
Condition
.
For
we
are
neither
Sluts
nor
Pick-Pockets
,
but
civil
honest
Gentlewomen
as
any
in
all
this
Country
.
But
to
all
this
,
the
veil'd
Lady
answer'd
not
a
word
;
only
she
rose
from
her
Seat
,
and
laying
her
Arms
like
a
St.
Andrew's
Cross
upon
her
Breast
,
bow'd
her
Head
,
to
signifie
that
she
was
sensible
of
their
Kindness
,
and
return'd
'em
Thanks
.
By
which
the
witty
Madam
Doroty
rightly
guess'd
,
that
tho
she
might
understand
somewhat
,
yet
she
could
speak
nothing
of
the
Language
.
At
length
the
Slave
,
who
had
been
all
this
while
providing
for
his
Ass
,
returning
from
the
Stable
,
and
seeing
the
Ladies
so
busie
about
the
Moor
,
after
he
had
made
his
Obeysance
to
Madam
Doroty
and
Lucinda
;
Ladies
,
said
he
,
this
young
Damsel
speaks
no
Language
but
her
own
,
which
is
the
reason
she
cannot
answer
to
your
Questions
:
O'
my
word
else
you
should
not
find
her
derogate
from
her
Sex
;
for
she
has
Wit
at
Will
,
and
Tongue
at
Command
.
Sir
,
said
Lucinda
,
we
ask
her
no
Questions
,
only
we
offer
her
our
Company
,
and
the
best
Accommodation
we
have
.
Ladies
,
reply'd
the
Slave
,
I
return
ye
a
thousand
Thanks
,
both
for
her
and
for
my self
;
and
I
put
the
higher
value
upon
your
Civility
,
because
I
find
it
to
proceed
from
Persons
of
Worth
and
Merit
.
Pray
,
Sir
,
tell
me
one
thing
,
I
beseech
ye
,
cry'd
Madam
Doroty
,
is
this
Lady
a
Moor
,
or
a
Christian
?
For
by
her
Silence
and
her
Habit
she
does
not
seem
to
be
of
our
Religion
.
Madam
,
reply'd
the
Slave
,
she
is
a
Moor
by
Birth
,
but
a
Christian
in
her
Heart
,
and
desires
nothing
more
then
really
so
to
be
—
How
!
cry'd
Lucinda
,
interrupting
him
,
was
she
never
Christen'd
then
?
—
And
then
whispering
Madam
Dorothy
i'
the
Ear
;
Is
it
safe
,
quo
she
,
to
converse
with
a
Pagan
?
Which
the
Slave
over-hearing
,
Madam
,
quo
he
,
the
reason
why
she
is
not
Christen'd
,
is
only
because
we
have
not
had
an
Opportunity
since
she
came
from
Argier
,
for
that
's
the
Place
of
her
Nativity
.
Besides
,
't
is
fit
that
a
person
of
her
Years
should
understand
her
Catechism
before
she
be
baptiz'd
.
Pray
,
Sir
,
quo
Madam
Dorothy
,
is
she
modest
and
vertuous
?
For
I
'le
assure
ye
,
I
take
her
so
to
be
?
Chast
and
Spotless
as
the
Morning
light
,
reply'd
the
Slave
.
Why
then
,
quo
Madam
Dorothy
,
let
's
never
trouble
our selves
any
farther
;
baptize
her
as
soon
as
ye
can
,
and
i'
the
mean
time
,
give
me
a
vertuous
Moor
before
an
impudent
,
lascivious
Quistrel
of
a
Christian
.
This
short
Discovery
of
the
Slave
set
all
their
Curiosity
agog
to
be
diving
a
little
farther
;
but
they
did
not
think
it
seasonable
to
ask
any
more
Questions
as
yet
,
believing
that
Time
and
Conversation
would
bring
out
the
rest
.
Madam
Dorothy
therefore
,
who
,
for
ought
I
find
by
the
Story
,
was
the
cunning'st
Gypsie
i'
the
Pack
,
taking
the
Female
Stranger
by
the
Hand
,
and
seating
her
in
a
Chair
close
by
her
side
,
desir'd
her
to
lift
up
her
Veil
.
Whereupon
the
Moor
looking
the
Slave
full
i'
the
Face
,
and
demanding
,
as
it
were
,
with
her
Eyes
,
what
it
was
the
Ladies
desir'd
,
and
what
it
became
her
to
do
;
the
Slave
told
her
in
Arabick
,
That
the
Ladies
desir'd
her
to
lift
up
her
Veil
,
and
withall
allow'd
his
Consent
.
But
then
,
what
a
Magazine
of
Beauty
did
she
shew
!
Madam
Dorothy
thought
her
fairer
then
Madam
Dorothy
,
and
Lucinda
thought
her
fairer
then
Lucinda
:
Nay
,
all
the
Standers
by
confess'd
,
that
if
there
were
any
difference
,
the
Mooress
had
the
Advantage
.
And
as
it
is
the
Prerogative
of
Beauty
to
command
the
Hearts
and
Affections
of
all
the
World
,
or
like
a
Grocer's
empty
Sugar-Chest
to
draw
to
it
all
the
Flies
i'
the
Parish
,
the
Mooress
had
now
got
a
new
Crowd
of
Liquorish
Servants
,
all
striving
who
should
be
most
obsequious
,
most
officious
,
and
double
diligent
to
serve
her
.
D.
Ferdinand
desir'd
the
Moor
to
tell
him
her
Name
;
who
answer'd
,
that
her
Name
was
Lela
Zoraida
.
But
the
Mooress
understanding
by
the
Answer
what
the
Question
was
,
with
an
extraordinary
Vehemency
(
tho
such
as
extremely
became
her
,
because
pretty
and
handsom
)
cry'd
out
,
No
—
no
Zoraida
—
Maria
—
Maria
—
as
much
as
to
say
in
plain
English
,
her
Name
was
Mary
,
and
not
Zoraida
.
For
the
Mooress
not
understanding
the
way
of
Godfathers
and
Godmothers
,
had
made
choice
her self
of
a
Christ'n
Name
;
or
whether
it
were
that
the
Slave
did
not
think
it
worth
while
to
trouble
either
Godfathers
or
Godmothers
,
since
there
were
neither
Midwives
nor
Nurses
to
gratifie
.
However
it
were
,
Madam
Dorothy
and
Lucinda
,
who
intended
to
have
invited
themselves
to
the
Christ'ning
,
perceiving
themselves
disappointed
,
fell
a
crying
for
madness
.
And
yet
who
knows
,
but
that
Fortune
had
contriv'd
it
for
the
best
,
to
prevent
a
torn
Whisk
,
or
a
scratch'd
Face
about
Who
should
name
the
Child
.
Nor
could
Madam
Dorothy
be
got
out
of
her
Pouts
,
nor
hardly
be
brought
to
own
the
Name
;
but
Lucinda
,
the
better
natur'd
of
the
two
,
embracing
the
Mooress
,
Ay
,
ay
,
Mary
,
Mary's
the
word
,
quo
she
,
and
therefore
dear
Madam
Cake-bread
set
your
Heart
at
rest
.
To
which
the
Mooress
answer'd
not
a
tittle
;
for
indeed
it
had
been
somewhat
preternatural
for
the
Child
to
have
spoke
before
it
was
Christen'd
.
But
now
't
was
Supper-time
,
and
the
best
Entertainment
that
had
been
seen
i'
that
Inn
for
many
Years
;
D.
Ferdinand
having
sent
about
for
all
the
Rarities
to
be
had
i'
the
Country
.
Don
Quixote
was
forc'd
to
take
the
upper
end
of
the
Table
,
who
seeing
he
could
not
avoid
it
,
would
needs
have
the
Princess
of
Micomicon
sit
by
him
,
as
being
under
his
Protection
.
Lucinda
and
Zoraida
sate
next
to
Madam
Dorothy
;
Lucinda
the
uppermost
of
the
two
,
as
being
the
better
Christian
,
and
D.
Ferdinand
and
Cardenio
opposite
to
them
.
The
Curate
and
the
Barber
sate
below
the
Ladies
,
and
over-against
them
the
Slave
and
D.
Ferdinand's
Friends
.
At
Supper
they
were
as
merry
as
Mice
in
a
Chaff
heap
,
for
they
were
all
good
Company
,
and
every
one
with
a
full
Discharge
i'
their
Minds
from
all
Disquiets
and
Disturbances
whatever
,
from
the
Beginning
o'
the
World
to
the
Date
of
the
Release
.
But
that
which
augmented
their
Divertisement
,
was
the
pleasant
Discourse
of
Don
Quixote
,
who
inspir'd
with
the
same
Raptures
,
as
when
he
preach'd
after
Supper
to
the
Goatherds
,
in
a
kind
of
Bachanalian
Fury
,
thus
began
:
Ladies
and
Gentlemen
,
they
who
make
Profession
of
Knight-Errantry
,
have
one
great
Advantage
,
that
they
are
every
Day
accustom'd
to
the
sight
of
Accidents
altogether
wonderful
—
I
would
fain
know
,
whether
the
best
Astrologer
or
Figure-caster
of
'em
all
,
that
should
come
this
very
Minute
into
this
Castle
,
and
see
us
sitting
together
,
as
we
do
,
could
find
out
with
all
their
Scheams
,
and
their
Houses
,
and
their
Scrawls
upon
Paper
,
who
we
are
.
Who
would
imagine
this
Lady
that
sits
here
by
me
,
to
be
so
great
a
Princess
as
we
know
her
to
be
?
Or
,
that
I
were
the
famous
Don
Quixote
,
Knight
of
the
Ill
favour'd
Countenance
,
and
her
Protector
?
And
now
dares
any
Man
deny
,
but
that
this
Profession
surmounts
all
other
the
Inventions
of
Men
?
Or
that
it
is
not
so
much
the
more
to
be
esteem'd
,
as
being
more
expos'd
to
Hazards
and
Dangers
then
any
Profession
i'
the
World
.
And
therefore
if
any
one
should
presume
to
tell
me
,
that
Learning
is
to
be
preferr'd
before
Arms
,
I
'd
tell
him
,
he
was
the
Son
of
a
Whore
,
and
,
a'ly'd
.
't
is
true
,
I
know
,
those
Champions
of
Learning
will
tell
ye
,
that
the
Labours
of
the
Mind
are
much
greater
then
those
of
the
Body
;
whereas
there
is
nothing
but
Vigor
and
Strength
requir'd
for
the
Exercise
of
Arms
:
as
if
there
were
no
difference
between
a
Souldier
and
a
Porter
,
and
that
there
were
not
a
great
deal
of
Judgment
and
Conduct
to
be
us'd
in
Fighting
,
as
well
as
Strength
and
Vigor
.
For
Example
,
as
if
the
General
of
an
Army
,
Governour
of
a
great
and
considerable
Garrison
,
had
not
as
much
heed
of
a
cunning
,
contriving
,
plodding
Head-piece
and
Vigour
of
Mind
,
as
force
of
Limbs
.
Is
it
by
the
Strength
of
his
Body
that
he
finds
out
the
Designs
of
the
Enemy
,
or
that
furnishes
him
with
subtile
Artifices
to
oppose
the
Stratagems
of
a
politick
and
experienc'd
Adversary
?
Can
any
Man
deny
,
but
that
it
is
his
Wit
,
his
Judgment
,
his
Ingenuity
,
and
acquir'd
Skill
,
that
teaches
him
the
over
reaching
Part
of
War
?
Therefore
saies
the
Proverb
,
Policy
goes
beyond
Strength
.
Since
then
it
is
an
undeniable
Truth
,
that
Wit
is
as
requisite
in
a
Souldier
as
in
a
Scholar
,
let
us
consider
the
End
of
both
.
I
ha'
nothing
to
say
to
those
that
study
really
and
sincerely
for
our
Salvation
;
I
mean
those
that
trouble
their
Brains
to
reck'n
by
the
Rule
o'
Three
,
how
many
Mites
there
are
in
the
Liver
of
a
Cod-fish
,
or
about
fixing
Wings
to
mens
Shoulders
;
your
Astrologers
and
Astronomers
,
and
those
sooty
Refiners
of
Nature
,
call'd
Chymists
,
that
lie
toyling
,
and
moyling
,
and
watching
Moors
Heads
and
Crucibles
,
for
the
Philosopher's
Stone
,
till
all
their
Gold
and
Silver
be
evaporated
out
o'
their
Pockets
;
your
Frisesomorum
and
Barocho
Men
,
your
Scotists
and
Aquinatists
that
torment
their
Pia
Maters
about
how
many
Angels
will
stand
upon
the
Point
of
a
Needle
;
your
Men
of
Politicks
,
and
Erecters
of
Common
wealths
and
Utopia's
;
what
do
all
their
Studies
,
their
Labours
and
Inventions
signifie
?
They
are
only
Mispendings
of
that
leisure
and
quiet
which
they
enjoy
by
the
Souldiers
maintaining
Peace
,
both
at
home
and
abroad
.
For
Peace
is
a
Blessing
that
only
God
and
the
Souldier
bestows
upon
Kingdoms
and
Nations
,
supported
by
his
Valour
and
Industry
.
The
Lacedemonians
and
the
Romans
were
then
most
victorious
and
fortunate
,
when
Learning
least
flourish'd
among
'
em
.
Oh!
but
you
'l
say
,
Learning
teaches
us
Civility
.
Civility
!
with
a
Pox
—
as
if
there
were
more
civil
Men
,
or
greater
Courtiers
i'
the
World
,
then
your
Knight-Errants
.
Whereas
on
the
other
side
,
there
are
not
a
more
contentious
,
inveterate
,
malicious
,
foul-mouth'd
sort
of
People
i'
the
World
,
then
your
learned
Men
;
always
quarrelling
and
scribling
one
against
the
other
,
reproaching
,
back-biting
,
nick-naming
,
and
spitting
their
Venom
one
at
another
,
like
so
many
Cats
in
a
Moonshiny-Night
.
Nay
,
you
shall
have
too
Criticks
ready
to
stab
one
another
with
a
Mahometan
Fury
,
and
scolding
at
each
other
like
two
Rag-women
,
about
the
misplacing
of
a
G
,
or
an
L.
Whereas
the
Souldier
before
he
goes
to
't
,
embraces
his
Enemy
;
and
when
they
have
push'd
and
hack'd
one
another
as
long
as
they
can
,
if
neither
fall
,
they
embrace
again
like
Twins
out
o'
the
same
Womb
.
While
Don
Quixote
thus
discours'd
,
there
was
not
any
one
i'
the
Room
that
took
him
for
a
Fool
.
For
because
the
greatest
part
of
'em
were
Gentlemen
of
Fortune
that
profess'd
a
Military
Life
,
and
the
Ladies
,
as
generally
they
are
,
being
great
Admirers
of
Souldiers
,
they
listen'd
to
him
,
as
one
that
was
haranguing
i'
their
own
Praise
.
Then
Don
Quixote
proceeding
;
'
All
the
Hardships
,
quo
he
,
that
a
Student
endures
,
is
only
Poverty
:
Not
that
all
Scholars
are
poor
neither
,
but
I
lay
it
thus
to
drive
the
Argument
as
far
as
it
will
go
.
For
he
that
is
poor
,
is
miserable
.
And
Poverty
may
be
divided
into
three
Parts
,
Hunger
,
Cold
,
and
Nakedness
,
and
sometimes
all
three
together
.
Yet
is
this
Hunger
never
so
continual
,
but
that
the
Scholar
sometimes
does
eat
;
sometimes
he
gets
to
be
a
Tutor
,
and
then
he
eats
at
the
Stewards
Table
;
sometimes
he
gets
Six-pence
or
Twelve-pence
for
enditing
a
Love-Letter
,
and
then
he
goes
and
solaces
himself
at
Fetter-lane
end
.
If
he
be
a
cold
,
for
four
Farthings
he
may
smell
to
a
Fire
at
the
next
Ale-house
;
which
,
tho
it
may
not
roast
him
,
will
abate
the
Rigour
of
his
Sufferings
;
and
then
,
tho
at
Night
he
sleeps
in
a
Garret
,
yet
is
he
safe
from
the
Weather
,
not
to
mention
those
other
Trifles
of
Shoes
out
at
Toes
,
and
Stockins
out
at
Heels
,
want
o'
Shirts
,
and
a
flapping
greasie-brimm'd
Felt
,
with
a
thread-bear
,
thin
,
transparent
,
what
shall
I
call
't
—
for
't
will
not
bear
the
Name
of
Garment
,
which
,
I
confess
,
are
very
great
Hardships
;
yet
sometimes
by
their
creeping
and
cringing
,
their
flattering
and
colloguing
,
they
creep
into
the
Affection
of
some
Person
or
other
,
that
gives
'em
a
gentle
Lift
at
first
,
and
then
helps
'em
up
by
degrees
,
till
at
length
,
by
a
strange
Indulgence
of
Fortune
,
they
arrive
at
the
Haven
of
their
Wishes
,
and
from
contemptible
Poverty
,
and
pinching
Misery
,
come
to
wallow
in
Plenty
,
and
frisk
it
in
the
voluptuous
Pastures
of
Honour
and
Preferment
.
But
then
,
they
prove
the
most
ingrateful
,
proud
,
imperious
,
unsufferable
Bubbles
of
Vain-glory
i'
the
World
;
so
that
many
times
,
and
most
frequently
they
forget
their
own
Benefactors
,
and
are
not
asham'd
,
if
they
want
but
a
Stick
to
light
their
Oven
,
to
burn
the
Ladder
by
which
they
first
ascended
to
their
Advancement
.
CHAP.
XI
.
Containing
the
farther
curious
Discourse
of
Don
Quixote
upon
Arms
and
Arts.
WE
have
hitherto
discover'd
the
Poverty
of
the
Scholar
,
let
us
now
examine
whether
the
Souldier
be
any
richer
then
he
.
How
,
the
Souldier
rich
!
yes
,
as
a
new-shor'n
Sheep
—
Certainly
there
is
not
a
more
honourable
sort
of
Misery
i'
the
World
,
then
his
.
Gentlemen
Souldiers
!
Gentlemen
Beggers
.
't
is
true
,
he
looks
a
little
uppish
at
first
,
with
a
Months
Pay
before-hand
,
but
when
he
has
been
a
Month
upon
Service
,
out
at
Heels
,
out
at
Elbows
,
ragged
as
a
Forest-Colt
,
Shirtless
,
and
Pennyless
,
chewing
over
in
thought
the
last
good
Meal
which
he
eat
three
days
ago
,
till
he
meet
with
another
Pig
,
or
a
Flitch
o'
Bacon
,
for
which
he
ventures
his
Conscience
,
and
the
Curses
of
the
poor
People
from
whom
he
robs
it
.
By
this
time
he
begins
to
admire
,
whether
there
be
any
such
thing
as
Money
in
Nature
,
or
no
,
for
his
Pay
comes
very
slow
,
or
never
.
Were
he
one
of
the
Grandees
of
the
World
,
he
would
give
an
Earldom
or
a
Dukedom
for
a
Bag-pudding
,
and
looks
upon
Esau
as
the
only
man
that
ever
knew
how
to
value
Victuals
,
when
he
sold
his
Birthright
for
a
Mess
a'
Porridge
.
He
is
bound
to
endure
all
Weather
;
sometimes
marching
all
the
day
long
with
his
Gun
fretting
the
Skin
from
his
Shoulders
in
a
sultry
Season
that
would
bathe
him
in
Sweat
,
had
he
any
Moisture
to
exhale
from
his
Body
,
which
his
Stomach
has
suck'd
before
from
all
parts
to
sustain
Nature
.
Sometimes
poaching
through
thick
and
thin
up
to
the
middle
Leg
,
and
all
the
while
the
Rain
pours
down
upon
his
Thread-bare
Tatters
:
not
his
alone
,
but
the
Condition
of
the
whole
Army
,
looking
like
the
Picture
of
Pharaoh's
Host
half
drown'd
in
pursuit
of
the
Israelites
;
and
all
the
day
long
the
dry
Crust
new
soak'd
with
Aqua
coelestis
in
his
Snapsack
,
serves
him
both
for
Meat
and
Drink
.
Yet
after
all
this
tiresome
March
,
had
he
but
the
Comfort
at
Night
of
an
Inn
,
and
a
warm
Chimney-corner
,
't
wou'd
be
something
tolerable
,
nay
,
he
might
think
himself
happy
to
lie
with
the
Horses
i'
the
Stable
;
but
to
be
chamber'd
in
the
open
Field
,
where
tho
he
has
the
Liberty
to
make
his
Bed
as
wide
as
he
pleases
,
and
to
tumble
from
one
side
to
t'other
,
without
rumpling
his
Sheets
,
yet
to
be
plagu'd
with
two
such
Bed-fellows
as
Dung-wet
and
Hunger
,
and
to
be
so
wretched
as
to
be
forsak'n
of
his
own
Vermin
,
without
any
other
Consolation
then
certain
Whiffs
of
Mundungus
from
a
Pipe
as
black
as
a
Brewer's
Chimney
;
What
can
be
more
miserable
then
this
?
And
yet
these
are
the
Hardships
which
a
Souldier
endures
,
and
to
which
he
is
subject
every
day
,
as
being
Necessities
which
are
not
to
be
avoided
.
But
suppose
he
do
light
by
the
way
into
a
poor
Man's
Cottage
,
where
he
practises
his
Courage
and
his
Valour
upon
the
single
Cock
and
Hen
,
the
wretched
Labourer
has
,
or
the
only
Loaf
of
Bread
and
piece
of
Bacon
,
for
which
three
or
four
Children
will
cry
when
he
is
gone
;
yet
that
Exigency
which
constrains
him
to
commit
such
an
Act
of
Barbarism
,
as
to
tear
the
Bread
out
of
the
Mouths
of
those
that
are
as
miserable
as
himself
,
does
but
list
him
among
the
worst
of
Robbers
,
and
entitle
him
to
the
lowest
degree
of
sharking
Beggery
.
Bring
him
into
a
warm
Garrison
,
there
's
nothing
for
him
but
cold
Comfort
still
.
If
he
chance
to
out
run
the
Constable
in
a
Groat-Ordinary
for
Dinner
,
he
must
go
supperless
to
Bed
.
His
Landlord
snips
away
half
his
Sustenance
in
Gains
.
For
the
Cheese
,
the
hard
,
dry
,
course
Cheese
is
valu'd
according
to
Arithmetical
,
marked
out
according
to
Geometrical
Proportion
,
which
measures
out
but
a
short
Allowance
to
the
poor
Souldier's
hungry
Belly
.
All
the
Food
he
eats
is
so
course
and
dry
,
that
it
turns
to
Excrement
,
while
the
Ferment
of
the
Stomach
can
hardly
extract
a
Chylus
sufficient
to
supply
the
craving
Functions
of
the
Entrails
.
Yet
all
this
while
the
poor
half-starv'd
Souldier
must
help
to
repair
Breaches
,
must
watch
,
must
fight
,
must
stand
Sentinel
;
stand
,
do
I
say
!
yes
,
a'
must
stand
,
because
sometimes
his
Feet
are
half
frozen
to
the
Ground
;
a'
must
stand
,
because
a'
shall
be
hang'd
if
a'
stirs
;
let
him
stir
if
he
dare
,
tho
he
hear
the
Enemy
mining
under
his
very
Heels
;
and
tho
he
be
sure
at
the
same
instant
to
be
sent
of
a
dead
man's
Errant
to
the
Stars
,
and
never
to
drop
down
again
but
in
a
Shower
of
shatter'd
Limbs
.
And
now
would
I
fain
help
him
again
,
if
I
could
,
with
a
Day
of
Battel
,
the
Souldier's
Harvest
,
the
blessed
time
that
he
shall
receive
the
Reward
of
all
his
Labours
;
but
instead
of
the
Spoil
and
the
Plunder
,
with
which
he
thinks
to
enrich
himself
,
comes
a
Bullet
that
makes
a
hole
through
both
his
Cheeks
,
and
carrys
away
his
Tongue
along
with
it
,
or
else
at
one
Blow
draws
all
his
Teeth
;
a
Kindness
in
some
measure
,
considering
what
useless
things
they
are
to
him
.
Or
,
if
one
Bullet
spares
his
Cheeks
,
or
his
Tongue
,
or
his
Teeth
,
another
breaks
a
Leg
,
or
an
Arm.
Or
,
if
he
does
escape
safe
and
sound
,
what
is
he
the
richer
?
For
he
must
have
so
many
Witnesses
of
his
Valour
,
so
many
Testimonials
of
his
Courage
,
that
he
must
be
in
more
Battels
then
ever
Caesar
fought
,
before
he
shall
be
advanc'd
to
the
Degree
of
a
Serjeant
.
Then
again
,
Gentlemen
,
I
pray
ye
now
consider
how
few
there
are
that
have
gain'd
by
the
Wars
,
how
many
have
perish'd
in
Battel
,
and
lost
both
their
Hopes
,
and
their
Fortunes
at
the
same
time
.
The
number
of
the
slain
is
innumerable
,
but
for
those
that
have
enrich'd
themselves
by
going
a
Solgeering
,
as
they
call
it
,
not
enow
to
fight
a
pitch'd-Battel
at
Draughts
upon
the
back
side
o'
the
Tables
.
But
it
is
not
so
with
your
Men
of
Learning
,
they
are
never
reduc'd
to
so
much
Want
,
nor
expos'd
to
so
much
Hazard
and
Danger
of
their
Lives
.
I
ha'
known
a
Man
o'
Letters
that
has
been
a
Prisoner
for
Debt
,
and
wanted
Bread
,
yet
by
the
Favour
of
his
Keeper
,
having
been
let
out
of
a
Sunday
,
has
got
his
Noble
or
ten
Shillings
,
and
a
good
Dinner
besides
,
for
talking
an
Hour
to
the
People
.
Besides
,
it
is
much
more
easie
to
reward
two
or
three
thousand
Men
of
Learning
,
then
thirty
or
forty
thousand
Souldiers
.
For
there
be
those
Dignities
and
Places
to
be
bestow'd
upon
the
one
,
of
which
the
other
are
not
capable
;
whereas
the
latter
must
be
rewarded
by
the
Wealth
and
Substance
only
of
the
Prince
or
Potentate
,
whom
they
serve
.
But
this
does
no
way
demolish
my
Assertion
.
And
therefore
I
return
to
my
first
Undertaking
,
which
was
to
prove
the
Preeminence
of
the
Souldier
before
the
Man
of
Learning
;
and
this
I
shall
do
by
Reasons
which
I
shall
produce
in
favour
of
both
.
First
,
the
Men
of
Learning
say
,
That
the
Men
of
Arms
cannot
subsist
without
'em
;
for
tho
the
Souldiers
have
their
Laws
among
themselves
,
to
which
they
are
subject
,
yet
those
Laws
were
made
by
Men
of
Learning
;
and
that
they
are
as
well
the
Interpreters
,
as
the
Dispensers
of
those
Laws
.
But
by
their
Pardons
,
and
with
their
good
Leaves
,
let
'em
not
be
so
nimble-chapp'd
;
for
I
say
that
Arms
are
the
Support
of
the
Laws
:
They
defend
Common-wealths
and
Kingdoms
,
secure
the
High-ways
,
preserve
the
Frontier-Garrisons
,
scoure
the
Seas
of
Pirates
and
Rovers
,
and
,
in
a
word
,
are
the
Security
of
the
publick
Safety
.
Besides
,
is
it
not
a
general
Maxim
,
that
we
esteem
that
most
,
which
costs
us
dearest
?
Oh
,
is
it
so
!
pray
gi'
me
leave
then
—
I
would
fain
know
what
it
costs
a
Man
of
Letters
to
become
learned
?
You
'l
say
,
Time
,
Patience
,
Watching
,
drudging
at
his
Book
,
spare
Diet
,
poor
Habit
,
and
the
Want
and
Privation
of
a
thousand
Pleasures
and
Delights
of
this
World
.
Well
—
and
what
's
all
this
to
the
purpose
?
As
if
a
Souldier
were
not
put
to
these
,
and
other
Hardships
and
Inconveniencies
ten
thousand
times
more
dismal
and
disastrous
.
For
what
Hardship
is
it
for
a
Scholar
to
encounter
a
whole
Army
of
Celarent's
and
Barbara's
,
Camestres's
and
Festino's
,
or
to
be
Sorbonicoficabilitudinistally
confounded
with
a
Legion
of
Quinta
Essentia's
,
Genera
Generalissima's
,
or
an
Host
of
Praedicaments
,
that
will
never
break
his
Bones
,
nor
his
Brains
neither
,
unless
the
Curse
of
running
mad
were
entail'd
upon
him
from
his
Mother's
Womb
,
and
for
three
Generations
before
?
On
the
other
side
,
look
but
through
a
ten
foot
Prospective
Glass
(
for
I
'd
ha'
ye
be
sure
you
be
out
of
reach
,
for
fear
of
Harm
watch
,
harm
catch
:
)
I
say
therefore
,
look
through
a
long
Glass
,
and
see
a
Company
of
Souldiers
storming
a
strong
Bulwark
resolutely
defended
,
and
see
how
boldly
they
venture
up
the
Scaling-ladders
,
tho
they
are
sure
to
be
roasted
with
Bombs
and
Fire-balls
,
and
then
basted
with
whole
Pail-fulls
of
boiling
Lead
,
or
scalding
Oil
,
which
,
if
it
do
chance
to
wash
his
thin
Jacket
,
all
the
Honour
he
has
,
is
to
tumble
to
the
Ground
,
and
die
roaring
like
Hercules
in
Deianira's
Shirt
.
Could
ye
,
like
Aeneas
in
Venus's
Cloud
,
so
stand
with
Safety
and
Conveniency
,
as
to
observe
two
Men
of
War
,
within
a
Ship's
length
one
a'
t'other
,
vomiting
twenty
Pounders
one
at
another
,
till
the
Decks
and
Gun-rooms
swim
with
Blood
,
strew'd
over
with
whole
Joynts
,
Heads
,
Arms
,
and
Shoulders
,
Legs
,
Thighs
,
and
Bodies
equally
divided
i'
the
Waste
with
Chain-shot
,
instead
of
Persian
Carpets
and
sweet
Herbs
.
By
and
by
the
two
Spit-fires
lay
their
Iron
Claws
one
upon
another
,
and
lie
grappl'd
Yards-Arm
and
Yards-Arm
together
:
In
this
Condition
what
has
the
poor
Souldier
to
do
?
Stand
he
must
,
or
leap
into
the
Sea
,
which
is
no
less
ready
to
swallow
him
,
and
as
hungry
after
his
Perdition
,
as
Death
it self
;
and
all
the
while
upon
that
little
piece
of
Timber
that
preserves
him
from
one
surrounding
Danger
,
he
sees
a
thousand
more
menacing
his
Destruction
;
Musquets
,
Cutlaces
,
Half-pikes
,
Hand-Granado's
,
and
the
Devil
and
all
.
All
his
Hopes
are
in
the
Strength
of
his
Arm
,
and
his
Resolution
:
He
must
either
make
his
way
by
main
force
,
or
die
;
he
must
bear
down
all
before
him
,
or
perish
.
However
,
here
a
man
has
some
Sport
for
his
Money
;
here
is
doing
for
receiving
Mischief
.
But
to
ha'
seen
Opdam
in
his
Chair
losing
his
Draught
,
when
the
Silver
Tankard
of
Lemonade
was
just
at
his
Nose
,
and
sent
of
a
sudden
to
the
Coelum
Empyraeum
,
and
never
know
who
hurt
him
,
there
's
the
Plague
on
't
:
That
's
the
thing
that
spoils
the
Honour
of
Knight-Errantry
;
for
a
Person
of
Quality
,
a
Man
of
Courage
and
Gallantry
,
that
had
a
fair
Play
,
would
drive
a
Regiment
before
him
;
but
to
be
kill'd
at
a
distance
,
is
that
wou'd
vex
a
Saint
.
Now
tell
me
,
whether
the
Hardships
which
your
Men
of
Letters
undergo
,
are
like
to
these
?
Tell
me
,
whether
the
fierce
Disputes
between
the
Sorbonists
and
Jansenists
will
hold
Comparison
with
these
bloody
,
frightful
Encounters
?
O
happy
Age
,
that
never
knew
those
dreadful
Engines
of
Death
!
and
a
thousand
times
more
happy
Ignorance
,
that
never
found
out
that
Infernal
Mixture
of
Sulphur
and
Salt-peter
;
and
may
he
be
well
rewarded
in
Hell
,
that
first
discover'd
that
damnable
Invention
that
gave
the
basest
,
vilest
,
Coward
,
to
him
that
perhaps
wink'd
when
he
shot
,
the
means
to
bereave
at
a
distance
,
the
bravest
,
the
most
valiant
,
the
stoutest
Knight
that
ever
brandish'd
Weapon
,
of
his
Life
,
in
the
full
Career
of
his
Renown
;
while
a
pocky
,
confounded
little
Gobbet
of
the
basest
Mettle
i'
the
World
,
discharg'd
from
the
rusty
Piece
of
the
basest
Scoundrel
,
Rake-shame
,
Hen-roost-Robber
upon
the
Earth
shall
of
a
sudden
,
unexpected
,
unthought
of
,
spat
out
the
Brains
of
a
Person
that
deserv'd
to
ha'
liv'd
many
Centuries
of
Ages
:
So
that
when
I
consider
these
things
,
I
begin
to
repent
that
ever
I
embrac'd
the
Profession
of
Knight-Errantry
in
such
a
detestable
and
unworthy
Age
.
For
tho
there
is
no
danger
,
how
terrible
soever
,
that
can
terrifie
me
,
yet
it
troubles
me
to
think
that
I
should
be
subject
to
such
an
idle
Hazard
,
least
a
Thimble
full
of
Powder
,
and
a
little
lump
of
Lead
no
bigger
then
a
Nutmeg
,
should
put
a
stop
to
my
Courage
,
and
prevent
me
from
making
known
to
the
utmost
ends
of
the
World
the
strength
of
my
Arm
,
and
the
keen
edge
of
my
Sword
.
But
let
Fortune
dispose
of
me
as
she
pleases
,
my
Fame
and
Reputation
must
be
so
much
the
greater
,
since
I
expose
my self
to
greater
Dangers
then
all
the
Knight
Errants
of
former
Ages
.
Thus
did
the
Hero's
Tongue
run
on
with
a
Continuando
,
but
his
Teeth
were
idle
all
the
while
;
for
he
was
a
Man
that
never
minded
his
Victuals
,
when
he
was
in
a
Discourse
of
Knight-Errantry
:
Tho
Sancho
were
so
kind
as
frequently
to
put
him
in
mind
of
the
Meat
that
was
before
him
,
and
to
follow
the
good
Example
of
those
that
he
saw
so
smartly
laying
about
'em
for
their
Lives
;
and
telling
him
withal
,
that
it
would
be
time
enough
to
talk
out
his
Talk
when
his
Belly
was
full
.
On
the
other
side
,
they
that
heard
him
,
and
had
given
as
much
Attention
to
his
Harangue
,
as
the
season
would
permit
,
could
not
chuse
but
look
one
upon
another
with
Admiration
;
that
a
Person
who
discours'd
with
so
much
Wit
and
Judgment
upon
other
Subjects
,
shou'd
lose
himself
so
ridiculously
at
last
,
in
his
freakish
and
detestable
humour
of
Knight-Errantry
.
However
,
the
Curate
applauded
him
,
and
told
him
,
that
he
had
spok'n
a
great
deal
of
sense
,
in
preferring
the
Sword
before
the
Gown
;
and
that
for
his
part
,
tho
it
were
against
his
Interest
to
say
so
,
as
being
a
man
of
Letters
,
and
one
that
had
taken
his
Degrees
;
yet
he
could
not
chuse
but
be
of
his
Opinion
.
At
length
,
Supper
being
ended
,
and
the
Cloth
tak'n
away
,
while
the
Hostess
,
her
Daughter
,
and
Maritornes
were
getting
Don
Quixote's
Chamber
ready
for
the
Ladies
,
Don
Ferdinand
desir'd
the
Captive
to
relate
the
story
of
his
Life
;
for
that
in
all
likelihood
by
his
coming
in
Company
with
the
fair
Zoraida
,
there
must
be
something
in
it
more
then
ordinary
.
Which
Request
being
seconded
by
the
Curate
and
all
the
rest
that
were
i'
the
Room
,
the
Captive
reply'd
,
that
he
could
not
deny
to
satisfie
their
desires
,
only
he
was
afraid
lest
he
should
spoil
a
good
story
in
the
telling
:
For
,
said
he
,
the
Story
is
a
good
one
,
I
must
confess
,
and
contains
such
unlikely
Truths
,
that
will
seem
to
surpass
all
the
Fables
that
ever
yet
the
Invention
and
Industry
of
Man
contriv'd
.
Which
words
made
'em
all
presently
prick
up
their
Ears
,
and
put
themselves
into
a
list'ning
Posture
,
as
if
they
had
been
to
hear
the
Last
Speech
and
Confession
of
some
Eminent
Offender
upon
the
Scaffold
.
At
what
time
,
the
Captive
perceiving
their
Attention
so
well
prepar'd
,
thus
began
.
CHAP.
XII
.
The
History
of
the
Slave
.
I
Was
Born
in
a
Village
seated
among
the
Mountains
of
Leon
,
of
Parents
that
had
more
Wit
then
Money
;
or
rather
that
were
more
beholding
to
Nature
for
Parts
and
Endowments
,
then
to
Fortune
for
Lands
and
Tenements
.
Yet
in
a
place
where
Poverty
it self
seems
to
raign
,
my
Father
might
have
had
the
Reputation
of
being
a
Rich
man
,
had
he
tak'n
the
same
care
to
preserve
,
as
he
did
to
spend
what
he
had
.
Which
expensive
and
lavish
humour
he
learnt
by
being
a
Souldier
,
having
spent
his
Youth
in
that
Pious
School
of
War
,
which
makes
a
Miser
liberal
,
and
a
Liberal
Man
a
Prodigal
;
and
where
one
that
pretends
to
Thrift
,
is
lookt
upon
as
a
Monster
,
and
unworthy
the
Profession
of
Arms.
But
at
length
,
my
Father
finding
the
bad
Effects
of
his
Profuseness
,
and
how
destructive
it
was
to
that
Provision
which
he
was
to
make
for
his
Children
,
who
were
all
now
at
Age
,
he
resolv'd
to
rid
himself
of
that
same
dirty
Arable
and
Pasture
that
fed
his
Prodigality
,
and
to
quit
that
troublesome
Title
of
Landlord
,
before
the
Taverns
got
all
.
To
which
purpose
,
calling
my
two
Brothers
and
my self
into
his
Closet
,
Children
,
said
he
,
I
know
my
own
Infirmity
,
that
when
I
am
fix'd
at
the
Tavern
,
with
my
Cronies
about
me
,
I
never
think
of
my
Boys
at
home
;
I
would
be
loath
that
all
,
or
any
of
ye
,
should
come
to
the
Gallows
,
because
I
never
heard
that
any
of
your
Ancestors
were
hang'd
before
ye
.
Neither
do
I
like
the
cursed
Trades
of
Bully-rocking
,
or
Gaming
,
which
are
both
pernicious
,
and
will
bring
ye
to
dye
in
a
Brandyshop
.
But
this
I
know
,
that
since
ye
are
begot
,
ye
must
live
;
and
ye
are
now
all
of
ye
of
Age
to
shift
for
your selves
;
and
to
betake
your selves
to
some
laudable
Profession
,
that
may
one
day
advance
ye
both
to
Honour
and
Estates
.
To
which
purpose
,
that
I
may
contribute
as
far
as
my
late
Repentance
will
give
me
leave
,
I
have
resolv'd
to
divide
all
that
I
ha'
left
into
four
equal
parts
;
of
which
I
intend
three
Divisions
for
you
,
and
the
fourth
for
my self
.
We
have
a
Proverb
,
which
in
my
Opinion
contains
a
world
of
Truth
,
as
all
Proverbs
are
grounded
upon
long
and
sage
Experience
.
The
Church
,
or
the
Sea
,
or
the
Court
.
To
teach
us
,
that
they
who
have
a
design
to
raise
their
Fortunes
in
the
World
,
must
apply
themselves
either
to
Learning
,
or
Trade
,
or
to
the
Service
of
his
Prince
.
And
thus
I
would
have
one
of
ye
to
follow
his
Studies
,
the
t'other
to
turn
Merchant
,
and
the
third
to
be
a
Souldier
.
But
herein
you
must
advise
with
your
own
Genius's
;
for
tho
a
Dunce
may
attain
to
good
Preferment
,
yet
he
must
be
sure
of
Courage
and
Resolution
,
that
advances
himself
by
the
Sword
.
In
eight
days
I
will
be
ready
with
your
Proportions
,
and
give
'em
ye
in
ready
Money
,
which
will
be
the
least
trouble
.
Now
,
tell
me
what
ye
think
of
my
Proposals
;
or
whether
you
believe
my
Counsel
worth
following
.
When
my
Father
had
done
speaking
,
I
earnestly
desir'd
him
not
to
sell
his
Land
,
of
which
he
might
dispose
without
asking
us
leave
,
and
told
him
that
we
were
young
enough
,
and
had
the
World
before
us
;
and
at
last
,
I
made
my
choice
to
be
a
Souldier
.
My
second
Brother
,
filially
obedient
,
had
the
same
sentiments
that
I
had
,
and
chose
to
be
a
Merchant
,
and
so
took
his
Fortunes
in
the
Indies
.
The
youngest
,
and
the
wisest
of
us
all
,
made
choice
of
the
Church
,
a
Harbour
where
a
man
of
Complaisance
may
be
always
certain
to
ride
secure
.
And
thus
having
concluded
among
our selves
,
and
made
our
Election
to
my
Father's
content
,
he
embrac'd
us
all
three
,
and
at
his
time
prefix'd
he
gave
us
our
Dividends
in
ready
Cash
,
which
amounted
to
a
thousand
pounds
a
piece
;
one
of
my
Uncles
having
purchased
the
Land
,
because
it
should
not
go
out
of
the
Name
.
All
things
were
now
ready
for
our
departure
,
and
we
all
agreed
to
take
our
several
Roads
the
same
day
;
but
a
certain
scruple
griping
my
Conscience
,
that
my
Father
should
be
left
with
so
small
a
pittance
to
support
his
Old
Age
,
I
return'd
him
six
hundred
thirty
odd
pounds
of
my
share
,
assuring
him
that
what
remain'd
,
would
be
enough
to
buy
me
an
Ensign's
Place
,
and
to
spare
for
bodily
Furniture
.
My
Brothers
,
following
my
Example
,
did
the
like
;
so
that
we
restor'd
him
back
eighteen
hundred
ninety
nine
pounds
of
his
Money
again
,
like
Sons
full
of
Affection
and
Duty
as
we
were
,
and
to
our
Credit
be
it
spok'n
.
And
then
it
was
that
we
took
our
leaves
of
our
Father
and
Uncle
with
clear
Consciences
and
lighter
Pockets
then
we
needed
,
after
they
had
laid
a
strict
Injunction
upon
us
to
send
'em
weekly
Tydings
how
we
throve
in
the
World
.
And
now
,
behold
the
three
Brothers
parted
,
as
if
one
should
take
the
Road
for
Oxford
,
the
other
for
Plymouth
,
and
I
for
Flanders
;
whither
indeed
I
went
,
and
there
purchased
a
Colours
under
Duke
D'
Alva
,
where
,
how
I
behav'd
my self
,
I
shall
not
trouble
this
Company
to
relate
.
But
hearing
that
Don
John
of
Austria
was
made
General
of
the
Christians
against
the
Turks
,
away
I
posted
with
Letters
of
Recommendation
to
Genoa
,
and
there
arriv'd
the
same
day
that
Don
John
enter'd
the
City
;
where
I
had
presently
a
Company
conferr'd
upon
me
,
and
was
Shipp'd
in
a
Man
of
War
,
that
with
several
others
was
bound
to
joyn
the
Venetian
Fleet
:
By
which
means
it
came
to
pass
,
that
I
was
present
at
the
Battel
of
Lepanto
,
so
advantageous
to
all
Christendom
;
where
among
some
that
were
slain
,
and
others
that
enjoy'd
the
Honour
of
the
Victory
,
I
had
the
misfortune
to
be
taken
Prisoner
.
For
Uchali
,
King
of
Argier
,
a
famous
and
desperate
Pirate
,
being
grappl'd
with
a
Maltese
,
wherein
there
were
but
three
Knights
left
alive
,
and
those
every
one
sore
wounded
,
our
Ship
bore
up
to
their
Relief
;
at
what
time
,
I
forsooth
,
to
shew
my self
worthy
of
my
new
Preferment
,
must
needs
be
jumping
into
the
Enemies
Vessel
:
And
this
happen'd
just
i'
the
nick
,
when
Uchali
,
a
cunning
Gamester
,
having
got
clear
of
the
Maltese
,
sheer'd
away
from
our
Vessel
:
So
that
none
of
my
Souldiers
being
able
to
follow
me
,
Peel-Garlick
was
left
all
alone
i'
the
power
of
the
Turks
:
Who
,
after
they
had
wounded
me
in
several
places
,
for
I
resolv'd
they
should
pay
dear
for
their
Bargain
,
made
me
a
Slave
;
and
I
was
carry'd
to
Constantinople
,
where
Selim
made
my
Master
Uchali
his
Admiral
at
Sea
,
for
having
so
valiantly
behav'd
himself
in
the
Engagement
,
and
brought
away
the
Flag
of
the
Order
of
Malta
:
For
as
for
his
running
away
at
length
,
it
was
not
imputed
to
him
for
a
Crime
,
because
he
saw
the
Battel
was
lost
.
After
Uchali's
Death
,
I
fell
by
Lot
to
the
share
of
a
Venetian
Renegado
,
whose
Name
was
Aranaga
;
formerly
one
of
Uchali's
Slaves
himself
,
but
one
that
knew
so
well
how
to
please
his
Master
,
that
he
won
his
very
Heart
,
and
became
very
Rich
;
but
was
certainly
one
of
the
cruellest
Rogues
that
ever
defy'd
Humanity
;
afterwards
also
advanc'd
to
be
King
of
Argier
,
whither
for
that
reason
I
was
carry'd
:
And
truly
I
was
glad
I
was
got
so
near
within
the
smell
of
my
Native
Country
,
fully
perswaded
that
I
should
find
some
way
or
other
to
make
my
Escape
;
for
I
could
not
find
in
my
heart
to
despair
.
And
therefore
when
one
Project
fail'd
,
I
presently
set
my
Brains
at
work
for
another
.
And
thus
I
spent
my
time
,
brewing
every
day
new
Designs
,
being
shut
up
in
one
of
those
Prisons
which
the
Turks
call
Stoves
,
where
they
put
their
Christian
Slaves
,
as
well
those
that
belong
to
the
King
,
as
to
particular
Persons
.
Now
the
King's
Slaves
are
never
put
to
work
,
no
more
then
are
they
that
have
once
treated
concerning
their
Ransom
;
however
,
they
are
kept
close
i'
their
Stoves
,
for
fear
they
should
run
away
like
slippery
Tenants
,
and
never
pay
▪
for
their
House-rent
.
For
my
own
part
,
as
soon
as
they
knew
me
to
be
an
Officer
,
it
was
in
vain
for
me
to
plead
Poverty
;
I
was
look'd
upon
as
a
Person
of
Quality
,
and
put
among
the
Slaves
for
whom
Ransom
was
expected
,
with
a
Chain
so
light
,
that
it
only
shew'd
me
to
be
upon
Terms
for
my
Liberty
,
and
that
I
was
not
one
who
was
long
to
wear
it
.
Yet
can
I
not
say
,
that
I
was
free
from
Hunger
,
and
many
other
Miseries
,
besides
that
Azanaga's
Cruelties
continually
terrify'd
me
.
Who
,
besides
that
he
was
wont
,
for
every
small
Offence
,
to
hang
and
impale
his
poor
Captives
,
had
a
particular
Humour
to
cut
off
their
Ears
,
meerly
to
pickle
'em
instead
of
Mushrooms
,
for
Sawce
to
his
Mahometan
Fricassees
.
But
to
say
no
more
of
his
Cruelty
,
nor
my
own
Fears
,
and
to
come
to
the
Point
,
you
are
to
understand
,
that
the
Windows
of
a
House
belonging
to
a
very
rich
Moor
,
very
near
as
rich
as
his
Kinsman
Pluto
himself
,
lookt
into
the
Court
belonging
to
our
Prison
;
which
Windows
,
according
to
the
Custom
of
the
Moors
,
are
very
narrow
holes
,
and
those
too
clos'd
with
wooden
Lattices
.
Now
it
happen'd
one
day
,
as
I
and
three
others
of
my
Companions
(
for
the
rest
were
gone
forth
to
work
)
that
is
to
say
,
as
four
of
us
were
trying
in
the
Court-yard
how
well
we
could
leap
the
Almond-Jump
in
our
Chains
,
casting
up
my
Eyes
to
the
Window
,
I
saw
descending
from
the
Lattice
a
long
Reed
,
with
a
Handkercheif
ty'd
to
the
end
of
it
,
which
the
Hand
that
let
it
down
,
caus'd
to
dance
i'
the
Air
,
as
it
were
a
signal
for
some
one
of
us
to
come
and
take
it
.
Whereupon
one
of
my
Companions
went
to
ha'
laid
his
Paws
upon
it
,
but
then
it
presently
mounted
again
out
of
his
Reach
;
which
he
taking
for
a
Rebuke
,
return'd
to
his
Sport
.
Then
a
second
try'd
,
and
then
the
third
,
but
were
all
tantaliz'd
alike
;
till
at
length
seeing
the
Cane
descend
a
fourth
time
,
I
resolv'd
to
try
my
Fortune
;
but
then
it
was
easily
seen
for
whom
the
Handkerchief
was
intended
;
for
as
soon
as
I
came
near
the
Window
,
the
Cane
fell
down
at
my
Feet
.
Presently
I
took
up
the
Handkerchief
,
and
as
hastily
untying
the
Knot
,
I
found
a
Nest
of
small
pieces
of
Money
,
to
the
value
of
one
of
our
Crown-pieces
.
You
may
well
conjecture
I
did
not
weep
to
see
such
an
unexpected
Relief
in
the
Condition
I
was
in
,
and
that
I
should
be
the
only
Object
of
the
Charity
.
And
then
looking
up
to
see
from
whence
the
Blessing
came
,
I
could
discover
no
more
then
only
a
Lilly-white
Hand
that
clos'd
the
Lattice
at
the
same
time
.
However
,
we
all
return'd
our
Thanks
by
bowing
to
the
Window
,
after
the
Turkish
manner
,
with
our
Arms
a
cross
upon
our
Breasts
.
Which
we
had
no
sooner
done
,
but
there
presently
appear'd
out
at
the
same
Window
a
little
Cross
made
of
Reeds
;
and
then
we
concluded
,
that
some
Lady
that
liv'd
in
that
House
had
tak'n
Compassion
upon
us
;
but
why
so
particularly
to
me
,
thought
I
;
and
with
that
I
began
seriously
to
consider
with
my self
,
whether
I
had
ever
made
water
under
the
Window
,
or
no
,
but
could
not
for
my
life
remember
any
such
thing
.
Then
we
imagin'd
she
was
some
Christian
Slave
,
whom
her
Master
had
marry'd
.
For
your
Moors
,
as
black
as
they
are
,
love
white
Flesh
for
all
that
.
And
then
we
thought
again
,
that
having
been
once
a
Christian
,
she
might
be
so
still
in
her
Heart
.
But
all
our
Divining
signify'd
nothing
to
us
that
were
no
Conjurers
;
and
therefore
we
took
the
common
Road
of
Enquiry
.
But
after
all
the
Enquiry
we
could
make
to
the
utmost
of
our
Power
,
all
that
we
could
learn
,
was
only
this
,
That
it
was
the
Habitation
of
a
certain
rich
Moor
,
whose
Name
was
Agimorato
,
who
had
been
one
of
the
chief
Magistrates
of
Argier
,
and
far
richer
then
ever
was
old
Audley
;
a
meer
Miser
,
born
to
get
a
Mountain
o'
Money
,
and
leave
it
when
he
has
done
.
Ceasing
therefore
any
farther
Enquiry
,
we
only
ador'd
the
blessed
Window
every
Day
,
from
whence
our
comfortable
Benediction
fell
.
But
notwithstanding
all
our
Eye-worship
,
the
celestial
Casement
did
not
open
again
in
fifteen
days
;
so
that
we
look'd
upon
our
late
Refreshment
,
as
only
some
few
heat
drops
of
Female
Charity
,
and
despair'd
that
ever
the
blissful
Window
would
open
again
.
But
fifteen
days
after
,
when
dreaming
least
of
any
such
thing
,
being
the
same
all
four
together
in
the
Stove
,
without
any
other
Company
,
down
came
the
Angelick
Reed
and
Handkerchief
a
second
time
.
Upon
which
,
we
made
the
same
Trial
,
as
before
,
but
with
the
same
Success
;
for
still
the
coy
Handkerchief
would
not
suffer
it self
to
be
touch'd
by
any
but
my self
,
enfolding
a
Present
of
forty
Crowns
of
Spanish
Gold
,
and
a
Letter
written
in
Arabick
,
with
a
fair
Cross
at
the
bottom
of
the
Writing
.
Upon
which
,
we
return'd
to
our
Station
,
and
made
our
Obeysances
,
as
before
;
and
after
I
had
made
a
sign
that
I
would
read
the
Letter
,
the
white
Hand
vanish'd
,
and
the
Lattice
of
Consolation
clos'd
again
.
This
Accumulation
of
Fortune's
Favours
fill'd
us
with
new
Joy
and
fresh
Hopes
:
But
in
regard
that
none
of
us
understood
Arabick
,
we
were
at
a
strange
Loss
where
to
find
an
Interpreter
,
not
knowing
whom
to
trust
in
such
a
ticklish
Case
as
this
was
,
as
being
loath
to
hazard
our selves
,
but
much
more
afraid
to
injure
our
Benefactress
.
At
length
my
Curiosity
to
understand
the
Depth
of
such
an
Intrigue
as
this
,
constrain'd
me
to
trust
a
Renegado
of
Mercia
,
who
pretended
a
great
Kindness
for
me
.
So
that
after
I
had
us'd
all
the
Caution
imaginable
to
engage
him
to
Secrecy
,
and
pawn'd
all
the
Credit
I
had
with
him
in
Mountains
of
Promises
,
if
the
Success
were
answerable
to
such
a
Foundation
laid
in
Miracle
,
I
desir'd
him
to
read
me
a
Letter
,
which
I
told
him
I
had
found
in
a
hole
in
our
Dungeon
.
The
Renegado
took
the
Letter
,
and
after
he
had
read
a
Line
or
two
,
he
ask'd
me
for
a
Pen
and
Ink
,
and
a
piece
of
Paper
;
all
which
I
had
ready
prepar'd
i'
my
Pocket
(
for
Slaves
that
have
Money
may
have
any
thing
.
)
And
then
the
Renegado
retiring
,
in
a
short
time
gave
me
the
Letter
back
again
,
and
the
Translation
of
it
,
with
this
farther
Advertisement
,
That
Alla
signify'd
God
,
and
Lela
Marien
,
the
Virgin
Mary
.
The
Substance
of
the
Letter
was
this
.
When
I
was
a
Child
,
my
Father
kept
a
Christian
Slave
in
the
House
,
who
taught
me
the
Prayers
of
the
Christians
,
and
inform'd
me
of
many
things
concerning
Lela-Marien
.
This
Slave
is
since
dead
,
and
I
know
she
was
not
cast
into
the
eternal
Fire
,
but
is
with
God
;
for
she
has
appear'd
to
me
twice
since
her
Death
:
And
both
times
she
charg'd
me
to
retire
among
the
Christians
,
to
see
Lela
Marien
,
who
has
a
great
love
for
me
.
I
have
seen
out
at
this
Window
,
several
Christians
,
but
I
must
confess
,
I
never
saw
any
one
that
lookt
like
a
Gentleman
but
your self
.
I
am
young
and
handsom
,
and
in
a
Condition
to
transport
a
vast
Estate
along
with
me
.
Consider
whether
you
will
undertake
to
carry
me
away
:
It
shall
be
your
fault
,
if
I
be
not
your
Wife
;
or
if
you
will
not
marry
me
,
I
make
no
Question
but
that
Lela
Marien
will
provide
me
a
Husband
.
't
was
my self
that
wrote
this
Letter
,
and
I
would
have
you
be
careful
whom
you
trust
;
no
Moor
,
whatever
ye
do
,
who
are
all
a
Company
of
Traitors
.
For
if
my
Father
should
have
the
least
inkling
of
my
Project
,
he
would
thrust
me
into
a
Well
,
and
cover
me
with
Stones
.
I
have
ty'd
a
Thread
to
the
end
of
the
Reed
,
with
which
you
may
fast'n
your
Answer
.
If
you
can
meet
with
no
body
that
writes
Arabick
,
tell
me
your
Answer
by
Signs
,
which
Lela
Marien
will
instruct
me
to
understand
.
God
and
she
preserve
ye
,
and
that
Cross
which
I
kiss
as
often
as
the
Slave
commanded
me
It
will
be
needless
,
Gentlemen
,
to
tell
ye
how
we
were
all
transported
with
Joy
when
we
read
this
Letter
,
since
every
one
knew
they
should
be
the
better
for
my
Success
.
The
Renegado
too
,
believing
it
might
be
likewise
to
his
Advantage
,
as
one
that
could
never
beat
it
into
his
Head
,
that
we
had
found
such
a
Letter
by
Accident
,
but
that
it
was
purposely
written
to
one
of
us
Four
,
with
great
Importunity
requested
us
to
tell
him
the
Truth
,
and
to
rely
upon
his
Fidelity
,
as
one
that
would
venture
his
Life
to
procure
our
Liberty
.
And
so
saying
,
he
drew
out
of
his
Bosom
a
small
Crucifix
,
and
swore
by
him
that
suffer'd
upon
it
,
that
he
would
be
secret
to
whatever
we
should
entrust
him
;
to
which
he
was
the
rather
encourag'd
,
because
he
saw
so
great
a
Probability
for
us
all
to
recover
our
Liberty
by
means
of
the
Person
that
had
written
the
Letter
:
And
he
accompanied
his
Oath
with
such
a
Shower
of
Tears
,
and
so
many
Marks
of
Repentance
for
his
turning
Infidel
,
that
we
discover'd
the
whole
Mystery
to
him
,
and
shew'd
him
that
heavenly
Window
from
whence
our
Gold'n
Showers
fell
down
.
Who
,
thereupon
,
promis'd
he
would
use
his
utmost
Industry
to
learn
who
it
was
that
liv'd
in
that
House
;
and
that
when
I
had
written
my
Answer
to
our
obliging
Benefactress
,
he
would
transcribe
it
into
Arabick
for
me
:
The
Substance
of
which
,
I
remember
much
to
this
purpose
.
The
true
Alla
preserve
ye
,
Madam
,
and
the
thrice
happy
Lela
Marien
,
who
has
inspir'd
ye
with
those
blessed
Thoughts
of
turning
Christian
.
Your
Design
is
pious
and
generous
;
and
therefore
you
may
be
confident
of
our
Endeavours
,
who
are
all
your
Vassals
to
serve
ye
with
the
loss
of
our
Lives
.
Fear
not
then
,
Madam
,
to
write
,
and
give
me
notice
of
what
you
resolve
to
do
.
We
have
among
us
a
Christian
Slave
who
writes
Arabick
,
as
you
will
find
by
this
Answer
.
As
for
your
Offer
of
being
my
Wife
,
I
should
be
the
most
ingrateful
person
living
,
should
I
not
accept
it
;
and
if
I
should
not
honour
,
while
I
have
Breath
,
the
Person
that
throws
her self
into
my
Arms.
The
great
Alla
and
Lela
Marien
preserve
ye
.
Two
days
after
,
when
there
was
no
body
in
the
Stove
,
I
went
into
the
Yard
,
where
I
had
not
staid
long
,
before
I
saw
the
Reed
appear
again
,
to
which
I
fasten'd
my
Answer
.
Nor
was
it
many
Hours
after
,
before
the
Comfort
of
our
Lives
hung
out
another
white
Flag
of
Peace
,
which
dropt
,
furl'd
up
at
my
Foot
,
with
above
fifty
yellow
Boys
in
it
,
which
was
so
far
from
being
any
Affliction
to
us
,
that
we
never
question'd
a
fertile
Harvest
of
our
Enterprizes
,
when
water'd
by
such
Gold'n
Showers
as
those
.
The
same
Night
our
Renegado
came
to
us
,
and
inform'd
us
that
the
House
belong'd
to
Agimorato
,
one
of
the
richest
Moors
in
Argier
;
and
that
to
inherit
all
his
Wealth
,
he
had
but
one
Daughter
,
who
was
the
most
beautiful
Person
in
all
Barbary
,
and
had
refus'd
all
the
considerable
Matches
that
had
been
offer'd
her
:
To
which
he
added
,
That
in
her
Infancy
she
was
bred
up
by
a
Christian-Slave
,
who
had
been
dead
for
some
years
.
All
which
agreed
with
what
we
found
in
the
Letter
.
Thereupon
we
consulted
with
this
Renegado
how
to
make
our
Escape
,
and
carry
away
the
lovely
Mooress
.
But
before
we
came
to
a
Result
,
we
resolv'd
to
stay
till
we
heard
farther
News
from
the
fair
Zoraida
(
for
that
we
understood
to
be
her
Name
)
seeing
that
without
her
Assistance
,
all
our
Consultations
signify'd
not
a
Straw
.
The
four
following
Days
the
Stove
was
full
,
and
so
nothing
was
to
be
done
;
but
the
fifth
,
none
but
our
own
Number
being
left
,
our
Paradise
open'd
again
,
and
down
dropt
the
Crums
of
Comfort
wrapp'd
up
in
clean
Linnen
,
but
never
till
I
was
at
hand
to
take
it
up
.
For
if
I
were
making
water
at
what
time
the
Hand
appear'd
,
the
Hand
would
never
let
go
till
I
had
done
.
And
this
time
too
Zoraida
doubl'd
her
Files
,
no
less
then
a
hundred
yellow
Boys
,
all
good
Men
and
true
,
together
with
a
Letter
;
of
which
to
the
best
of
my
Remembrance
,
these
were
the
Contents
.
I
know
not
which
way
we
shall
take
to
get
into
Spain
,
for
Lela
Marien
has
not
yet
inform'd
me
,
tho
I
have
earnestly
besought
her
in
my
Prayers
.
All
that
I
can
do
,
is
to
furnish
you
with
Gold
enough
to
ransom
your self
,
and
your
Companions
,
and
for
one
of
the
ransom'd
Captives
to
purchase
a
Bark
to
convey
us
all
away
.
For
my
part
,
I
intend
to
spend
all
this
Spring
with
my
Father
and
our
Slaves
,
in
a
Garden
adjoyning
to
the
Gate
of
Barbazon
,
near
the
Sea-side
.
Thence
in
the
Night
time
you
may
take
me
without
any
Danger
,
and
conveigh
me
to
the
Bark
.
But
remember
,
my
dear
Christian
,
that
you
have
promis'd
to
be
my
Husband
.
For
if
thou
fail'st
me
,
I
will
pray
to
Lela
Marien
to
punish
thee
.
If
thou
canst
not
confide
in
any
person
to
buy
the
Bark
,
ransom
thy self
quickly
,
and
go
thy self
;
I
know
thou
wilt
not
fail
to
return
,
as
thou
art
a
Gentleman
and
a
Christian
.
Make
it
thy
business
also
,
to
know
where
our
Garden
stands
.
In
the
mean
time
do
but
walk
in
the
Court
when
the
Stove
is
empty
,
and
I
will
give
thee
what
Money
thou
desirest
.
Alla
preserve
thee
,
dear
Christian
.
When
our
Company
heard
this
Letter
read
,
there
was
not
one
but
offer'd
,
if
he
might
be
first
ransom'd
,
to
go
and
purchase
a
Bark
,
and
as
soon
as
he
had
done
,
to
return
again
with
all
the
Speed
and
Sincerity
imaginable
;
and
had
it
been
possible
to
ha'
gone
with
their
Bodies
alone
,
wou'd
ha'
left
their
Souls
behind
'em
in
pawn
,
till
they
came
back
according
to
their
Words
;
but
the
Renegado
,
who
knew
that
one
Christian
was
not
to
believe
another
in
these
nice
points
,
would
by
no
means
consent
,
that
any
one
should
be
singly
ransom'd
,
till
all
were
redeem'd
together
.
For
that
he
had
known
by
Experience
,
that
several
Slaves
had
been
singly
ransom'd
to
fetch
Conveniencies
for
those
who
tarry'd
behind
,
in
Expectation
of
the
releas'd
persons
Return
,
who
might
as
well
have
expected
the
Vessel
hop'd
for
,
to
come
by
water
out
of
the
Clouds
,
as
by
Sea
.
Upon
whom
the
love
of
Liberty
,
and
the
dread
of
returning
into
Captivity
so
far
prevail'd
,
that
when
they
were
once
free
,
they
forgot
there
were
ever
any
such
things
as
Gospels
or
Evangelists
,
upon
which
they
had
sworn
not
to
leave
their
Friends
i'
the
lurch
.
And
therefore
,
said
he
,
give
me
the
Money
which
you
design
for
the
Purchase
of
a
Bark
,
and
I
will
buy
one
here
,
even
at
Argier
it self
,
under
pretence
of
trading
to
Tituan
,
and
upon
the
Coast
;
so
that
being
Master
of
the
Vessel
my self
,
and
under
no
Suspicion
,
it
will
be
easie
for
me
to
serve
ye
all
together
;
especially
when
ye
have
purchas'd
your
Liberty
by
the
Lady's
Assistance
;
for
then
being
Free-men
,
you
may
go
aboard
without
Interruption
,
at
Noon-day
.
Nor
do
I
fore-see
but
one
Difficulty
i'
the
matter
,
which
is
,
That
the
Renegado's
are
not
permitted
to
buy
Barks
,
but
only
great
Vessels
to
pyrate
upon
the
Seas
.
But
for
that
I
have
an
Expedient
i'
my
Head
,
which
is
,
to
take
in
a
Moor
of
Tagarino
for
a
Share
both
of
the
Vessel
and
Gains
,
and
so
under-hand
become
sole
Proprietor
my self
,
and
by
that
means
bring
all
our
Designs
to
Perfection
.
Truly
we
consider'd
with
our selves
,
that
Necessity
had
no
Law
;
that
if
we
should
seem
to
mistrust
the
Renegado
,
to
whom
we
had
already
discover'd
so
much
,
it
might
incense
him
,
and
force
him
to
disclose
our
whole
Design
;
not
only
to
our
Destruction
,
but
to
the
Ruin
of
the
Lady
,
whose
Life
was
more
dear
to
us
then
our
own
;
so
that
at
last
we
resolv'd
to
put
our selves
into
the
hands
of
God
and
the
Renegado
;
and
to
that
purpose
I
order'd
him
to
Transcribe
a
Letter
,
which
I
had
written
to
Zoraida
;
that
we
were
ready
to
follow
her
Advice
,
which
seem'd
to
be
no
less
then
what
Lela
Marien
had
inspir'd
into
her
Breast
;
renewing
my
Promise
withall
to
Marry
her
.
And
I
commended
her
,
to
make
sure
of
a
Husband
as
well
as
of
her
Religion
.
The
next
day
the
Stove
was
empty
,
and
then
it
rain'd
Handkerchers
;
which
at
several
times
furnish'd
us
with
a
thousand
Pieces
of
the
same
colour'd
Metal
,
that
reconciles
and
sets
all
the
World
together
by
the
Ears
;
makes
Friends
Foes
,
and
Foes
Friends
.
Which
made
me
so
in
love
with
Handkerchers
ever
since
,
that
I
can
never
come
into
a
Gentlewoman's
Company
,
but
I
am
always
either
snatching
,
or
stealing
her
Handkercher
;
nor
do
I
ever
return
'em
again
,
tho
the
young
Ladies
beg
their
Hearts
out
,
and
protest
never
so
much
they
were
presented
'em
by
their
Sweet-hearts
,
or
Valentines
,
or
any
other
the
dearest
Friends
they
have
i'
the
World
.
Such
a
passionate
Affection
for
Handkerchers
did
Zoraida's
fortunate
Linnen
engrave
in
my
Memory
.
So
that
when
ever
I
see
a
young
Gentleman
filching
a
Ladies
Handkercher
,
I
ask
him
presently
,
whether
he
were
ever
i'
the
Stoves
at
Algier
?
But
to
return
to
my
Story
:
At
the
same
time
I
found
a
Note
in
one
of
the
blessed
Handkerchers
(
for
I
can
never
speak
of
Handkerchers
without
an
Epithet
)
to
let
us
understand
,
that
the
next
Friday
she
was
to
go
to
her
Father's
Garden
;
in
the
mean
time
,
that
if
we
had
not
Money
enough
,
we
should
but
give
her
notice
,
and
we
should
have
as
much
as
we
desir'd
:
For
that
she
was
Mistress
of
all
her
Father's
Cash
.
And
i'
my
Conscience
she
spoke
Truth
:
For
the
next
Thursday
the
t'other
thousand
Peruvians
fell
down
prostrate
at
the
Toes
of
my
Shoes
;
at
which
I
never
murmured
i'
the
least
,
but
presently
with
a
confiding
Soul
gave
five
hundred
Crowns
to
our
Renegado
,
for
the
Purchase
of
a
Bark
.
The
rest
of
the
Money
I
put
into
the
Hands
of
a
Venetian
Merchant
,
of
my
Acquaintance
,
who
ransom'd
me
for
eight
hundred
Crowns
from
the
King
my
Master
;
promising
to
pay
the
money
upon
the
first
Return
of
a
Vessel
,
which
he
suddenly
expected
from
Italy
.
For
had
my
Friend
paid
down
the
money
upon
the
Nail
,
the
crafty
Azanaga
would
have
suspected
,
that
he
had
had
it
a
good
while
in
his
Custody
,
and
had
made
use
of
it
himself
.
The
same
Night
I
had
another
Note
from
Zoraida
,
to
let
me
know
,
that
the
next
day
she
was
going
to
the
Garden
,
and
therefore
desir'd
,
as
soon
as
I
should
be
redeem'd
,
to
let
me
see
her
.
To
all
which
I
answer'd
as
much
to
her
Satisfaction
,
as
lay
in
my
Power
.
In
the
mean
time
,
I
made
it
my
business
to
agree
for
the
Ransoms
of
my
Companions
,
lest
,
seeing
me
at
Liberty
,
and
themselves
still
in
Captivity
,
they
should
suspect
me
to
be
forgetful
of
their
Condition
,
and
enter
into
Combinations
against
me
.
For
there
is
no
trusting
to
the
Devil
in
such
Cases
,
who
takes
all
Occasions
to
work
upon
men
in
Misery
,
to
do
mischief
.
To
which
purpose
,
I
put
all
the
rest
of
my
money
into
my
Friend
the
Merchant's
Hands
,
with
Orders
to
Redeem
my
three
Companions
,
at
as
low
a
rate
as
he
could
,
upon
his
Credit
:
Which
he
soon
after
accomplish'd
.
CHAP.
XIV
.
Wherein
the
Captive
goes
on
with
his
Story
.
AND
now
the
Renegado
within
the
space
of
fourteen
or
fifteen
days
had
purchased
a
very
good
Bark
,
that
would
conveniently
carry
thirty
Persons
.
And
first
of
all
,
that
there
might
be
no
suspicion
of
his
Design
,
together
with
the
Moor
that
he
had
tak'n
in
for
his
Partner
,
he
made
two
or
three
slight
Voyages
upon
the
Coast
of
Barbary
,
driving
a
Trade
in
dry'd
Figgs
;
and
every
time
he
put
to
Sea
,
he
never
fail'd
to
come
to
an
Anchor
in
a
little
Creek
,
within
Musket-shot
of
Agimorato's
Garden
.
And
sometimes
he
would
go
ashore
,
and
walk
up
to
Agimorato's
House
,
to
beg
Fruit
,
which
the
Moor
would
bestow
upon
him
,
tho
he
knew
him
not
:
which
he
did
to
try
whether
the
Access
to
the
Garden
were
easie
or
no
.
By
which
means
,
when
he
saw
that
his
Partner
wholly
confided
in
him
,
that
he
might
cast
Anchor
where
he
pleas'd
,
and
that
I
and
my
Companions
were
at
Liberty
;
he
came
to
me
,
and
told
me
,
that
all
the
business
I
had
to
do
,
was
to
pick
out
a
parcel
of
sturdy
Fellows
,
that
could
tug
at
an
Oar
,
and
would
help
to
cut
a
Throat
or
two
at
a
dead
lift
;
to
consider
who
I
intended
to
take
along
with
me
,
and
then
to
look
after
the
main
Business
,
which
was
,
to
get
Zoraida
ready
against
the
next
Friday
,
at
what
time
he
resolv'd
to
be
gon
.
As
for
Rowers
,
kind
Fortune
(
for
had
not
Fortune
been
kind
,
this
story
could
never
ha'
gone
on
so
cleverly
)
I
say
then
again
,
Kind
Fortune
help'd
me
to
a
Crew
that
were
out
of
Employment
,
by
reason
their
Master
staid
at
home
from
Cruising
that
Summer
,
to
look
after
a
new
Ship
that
he
had
upon
the
Stocks
;
whom
I
order'd
to
stay
for
me
such
a
day
hard
by
Agimorato's
Garden
,
where
I
would
give
'em
their
Hire
:
For
I
knew
Sea-men
too
well
,
to
give
'em
money
before-hand
.
For
then
when
I
wanted
'em
,
I
must
ha'
been
forc'd
to
have
hunted
all
the
Brandy
holes
i'
the
Town
,
before
I
could
ha'
found
'
em
.
And
now
,
quo
I
to
my
Brains
,
Brains
,
if
ever
you
will
shew
your selves
to
be
Brains
,
now
shew
your
Quickness
,
your
Craft
,
your
wilie
Contrivance
,
and
the
Perfection
of
your
Invention
—
for
now
am
I
going
about
a
Design
,
that
requires
the
Assistance
of
all
Lucian's
Council
of
the
Gods
,
the
Subtlety
of
fifty
Bawds
,
the
dexterity
of
threescore
Heiress-stealers
,
and
the
acuteness
of
threescore
and
ten
marry'd
Wives
,
that
are
resolv'd
to
Cuckold
their
Husbands
.
For
I
must
confess
,
when
I
consider'd
the
hazards
and
difficulty
of
the
Enterprize
,
I
was
at
my
Wits
end
.
And
sometimes
when
I
bethought
my self
how
uncomattable
young
Virgins
were
i'
that
place
,
Despair
so
seiz'd
upon
my
Spirits
,
that
I
was
once
about
to
ha'
giv'n
over
the
Design
.
But
then
,
quo
I
to
my self
,
I
never
yet
heard
i'
my
life
,
when
a
young
Lady
had
resolv'd
upon
a
Bed-fellow
,
but
that
she
would
have
him
by
hook
or
by
crook
;
and
therefore
,
quo
I
to
my self
,
sure
Zoraida
has
laid
all
her
Plots
so
well
beforehand
,
that
if
I
am
not
a
meer
Ninny
,
it
must
be
impossible
for
me
to
fail
.
This
chear'd
my
Spirits
,
and
reviv'd
my
Hopes
again
;
so
that
I
resolv'd
,
fall
back
,
fall
edge
,
to
speak
with
her
.
To
that
purpose
,
two
days
before
our
departure
,
I
ventur'd
boldly
to
the
Garden
,
with
an
Excuse
ready
coin'd
i'
my
mouth
,
that
I
came
to
pick
some
green
Herbs
for
a
Sallad
:
And
so
it
happen'd
,
that
the
first
Attempt
that
I
made
,
the
first
Man
I
met
was
Agimorato
himself
;
who
ask'd
me
in
the
Language
of
the
Galley-Slaves
,
what
I
look'd
for
,
and
to
whom
I
belong'd
?
To
whom
I
answer'd
,
That
I
was
Arnaut
Mamy's
Slave
,
as
being
a
Person
that
I
knew
to
be
of
his
familiar
Acquaintance
(
for
tho
I
had
never
convers'd
with
the
Book-seller
that
resolves
Cases
of
Conscience
,
yet
I
made
no
scruple
to
tell
a
Lye
to
a
Moor
)
therefore
,
I
say
,
I
told
him
I
was
Mamy's
Slave
,
and
that
I
came
to
gather
a
Sallad
:
Wherein
however
there
was
something
of
Truth
;
for
tho
I
only
pretended
an
Errand
for
a
Sallad
,
yet
I
was
sure
I
came
for
the
best
Flower
in
his
Garden
.
After
that
,
he
ask'd
me
,
whether
I
had
offer'd
Ransom
,
and
how
much
it
was
?
And
upon
the
same
Subject
put
me
sundry
Questions
,
and
I
gave
him
sundry
Answers
.
But
now
to
the
Point
—
For
as
Agimorato
was
thus
gratifying
his
Curiosity
,
Zoraida
,
who
saw
me
at
first
when
I
enter'd
the
Garden
,
appear'd
her self
to
make
it
a
compleat
Paradise
.
And
as
the
Barbary
Ladies
never
scruple
to
shew
themselves
to
the
Christian
Slaves
,
notwithstanding
my
being
there
,
she
came
directly
to
her
Father
,
who
as
soon
as
he
spy'd
her
,
call'd
her
himself
.
'
Slife
—
such
a
Charming
Beauty
,
and
so
much
Wealth
as
glitter'd
upon
the
Ornaments
of
her
Head
,
where
she
had
more
Oriental
Pearls
to
cover
her
Hair
,
then
she
had
hairs
to
cover
;
the
sparkling
Diamonds
,
and
other
Precious
Stones
about
her
Wrists
,
and
on
the
Buskins
that
she
wore
upon
her
Feet
,
brought
my
very
Soul
to
stare
out
at
the
Casements
of
my
Eyes
,
and
with
Admiration
to
behold
the
dazling
sight
.
What
a
Devil
,
thought
I
to
my self
,
ayles
this
Virgin
,
that
has
so
much
Beauty
,
and
so
much
Wealth
,
to
quit
her
Native
Soyl
,
meerly
to
run
away
with
Heaven
knows
who
,
and
a
tatter'd
,
ragged
,
abject
,
miserable
Slave
to
boot
?
And
then
was
I
i'
my
Dumps
again
,
as
one
that
could
not
imagine
that
such
a
Morsel
was
ever
design'd
for
my
Tooth
.
But
then
recollecting
with
my self
,
that
the
Celestial
Bodies
,
who
are
themselves
subject
to
Excentric
Motions
,
govern
the
Humours
of
Youth
and
Beauty
;
and
calling
to
mind
,
that
once
a
Pris'ner
in
Ludgate
became
the
Master
of
his
Mistress
,
and
so
to
be
Lord
Mayor
of
London
;
I
did
not
think
it
reasonable
to
call
Destiny
to
give
too
strict
an
Account
of
her
Actions
,
but
rather
resolv'd
to
lay
my self
at
her
feet
,
believing
she
had
some
Christmas
Gambol
to
play
,
and
then
to
sit
and
laugh
at
it
when
she
had
done
.
Parlous
Zoraida
therefore
,
as
I
told
ye
,
came
to
her
Father
;
to
whom
Agimorato
,
Look
ye
,
Child
,
said
he
,
this
is
one
of
my
Friend
Arnaut's
Slaves
,
and
comes
to
pick
a
Sallad
for
his
Master
.
Very
likely
,
Sir
,
said
she
;
and
then
turning
to
me
,
and
what
,
quo
she
,
have
you
paid
your
Ransom
then
?
Madam
,
I
have
,
said
I
;
and
I
think
my
Master
valu'd
me
sufficiently
,
to
make
me
pay
eight
hundred
Crowns
in
Gold
.
I
assure
ye
,
my
Friend
,
cry'd
Zoraida
,
had
you
been
my
Father's
Slave
,
he
should
not
ha'
parted
wi'
ye
for
twice
as
much
.
For
you
Christians
are
such
cunning
Dissemblers
,
that
for
the
lives
of
us
,
we
Moors
can
never
understand
your
Qualities
;
so
that
ye
cozen
us
still
of
above
three
parts
of
your
Ransoms
.
Y'
are
all
Captains
and
Commanders
after
y'
are
redeem'd
:
But
while
y'
are
Slaves
,
you
'd
make
us
believe
your
Parents
were
so
poor
,
as
if
y'
had
all
been
begot
upon
Dunghills
.
Madam
,
said
I
,
I
am
not
to
answer
for
what
others
do
;
but
for
my
part
,
I
deal
candidly
with
my
Master
,
as
I
intend
to
do
with
all
the
World
.
And
more
then
that
,
Madam
,
I
love
to
be
true
to
both
Sexes
,
to
the
utmost
of
my
ability
,
in
what-ever
I
promise
.
Very
good
,
reply'd
Zoraida
;
and
when
d'
ye
think
to
be
gone
?
To
morrow
,
Madam
,
said
I
;
for
there
is
a
Vessel
in
Port
ready
to
set
Sail
,
and
I
am
unwilling
to
lose
the
Opportunity
.
Besides
,
I
have
such
an
eager
desire
once
more
to
re-visit
my
Native
Country
,
and
to
see
what
are
become
of
my
Friends
and
Relations
,
that
it
makes
me
the
more
impatient
to
lay
hold
upon
the
first
Occasion
.
't
is
an
even
wager
then
,
said
Zoraida
,
that
you
are
marry'd
in
your
own
Country
.
Not
marry'd
as
yet
,
reply'd
I
;
but
I
have
pass'd
my
Word
,
to
marry
as
soon
as
I
come
there
.
And
is
she
handsome
too
,
to
whom
y'
have
made
this
Promise
?
cry'd
Zoraida
.
Madam
,
said
I
,
she
is
so
handsome
,
that
I
may
safely
say
,
I
never
saw
a
Person
more
like
her
i'
the
World
then
your self
.
At
which
words
,
Agimorato
smiling
:
I
do
not
wonder
,
Christian
,
said
he
,
thou
art
so
hasty
to
be
gone
,
if
thy
Mistress
be
as
handsome
as
my
Daughter
,
that
has
not
her
Peer
for
Beauty
in
all
the
Kingdom
of
Barbary
.
Look
upon
her
well
,
and
thou
wilt
find
it
to
be
true
what
I
say
.
But
while
Agimorato
pleas'd
himself
to
find
his
Daughter
pleas'd
with
this
sort
of
Divertisement
,
a
Moor
came
running
towards
him
in
all
hast
to
tell
him
,
that
four
Turks
had
clamber'd
over
his
Wall
,
and
were
gathering
his
Fruit
before
't
was
Ripe
.
Which
put
him
into
a
great
Disorder
,
as
he
that
would
have
rather
a'
had
so
many
Swine
in
his
Garden
,
which
he
could
ha'
driven
out
again
when
he
pleas'd
.
But
the
Turkish
Souldiers
were
a
Masterless
sort
of
Beasts
,
of
whom
the
Moors
stood
almost
in
as
much
awe
,
as
the
Christian
Slaves
of
their
Masters
.
Thereupon
Agimorato
order'd
Zoraida
to
go
in
adoors
,
and
bid
me
take
what
Salading
I
pleas'd
,
while
he
went
to
perswade
those
Dogs
of
Turks
,
as
he
call'd
'em
,
out
of
his
Ground
;
leaving
me
and
Zoraida
together
,
who
pretending
Obedience
,
seem'd
to
make
toward
the
House
;
but
when
her
Father
was
out
of
sight
among
the
Trees
and
Currant
Bushes
,
swiftly
returning
with
Tears
in
her
Eyes
,
And
are
ye
going
then
,
Christian
,
said
she
;
are
ye
going
in
earnest
?
—
I
am
going
,
said
I
;
but
,
Madam
,
take
me
not
for
such
an
Infidel
,
to
be
gone
,
unless
I
carry
along
with
me
the
Treasure
of
my
Soul
.
Therefore
I
come
to
give
ye
notice
,
that
all
things
are
prepar'd
against
next
Fryday
:
Manage
your
Business
then
so
,
as
to
be
ready
against
the
Time
,
and
fear
nothing
—
For
tho
you
have
sav'd
me
the
Expence
of
a
thousand
Lovers
Oaths
and
Protestations
,
which
are
often
as
false
as
Hell
,
never
believe
I
'le
forfeit
my
Credit
and
my
Reputation
to
so
much
Love
and
Vertue
as
yours
.
And
this
I
utter'd
with
such
a
Reality
,
and
so
sensibly
proceeding
from
the
bottom
of
my
Heart
,
that
where
my
brok'n
Language
fail'd
,
the
very
motions
of
my
Lips
and
Eyes
supply'd
the
defect
of
my
Expression
to
convince
Zoraida
of
my
Sincerity
.
Insomuch
,
that
throwing
her
tender
Arm
about
my
Neck
,
she
slowly
mov'd
in
that
posture
with
a
trembling
pace
toward
the
House
;
and
in
that
posture
it
was
that
we
met
Agimorato
returning
,
after
he
had
perswaded
the
liquorish
Turks
to
quit
his
Garden
.
True
it
is
,
that
we
plainly
perceiv'd
he
had
descry'd
the
Loving
Embracements
of
his
Daughter
,
and
I
trembl'd
for
fear
of
my
dear
Zoraida
.
But
here
it
was
that
I
found
that
presence
of
mind
,
which
always
succours
the
Female
Sex
in
their
Amorous
Contrivances
.
For
instead
of
taking
away
her
Arm
,
which
would
but
have
put
Agimorato
into
a
Jealous
Passion
,
she
clung
more
close
to
me
,
and
resting
her
Head
upon
my
Breast
,
gave
way
to
the
weight
of
her
Body
to
fall
which
way
it
pleas'd
,
as
if
she
had
been
in
a
Trance
;
while
I
on
the
other
side
made
a
shew
of
supporting
her
with
all
my
strength
.
Presently
Agimorato
came
with
more
speed
then
a
Dog-trot
,
to
see
what
was
the
matter
;
and
finding
his
Daughter
in
that
Condition
,
ask'd
her
,
what
she
ail'd
?
To
which
she
returning
no
Answer
,
Alas
!
poor
Girl
,
said
he
,
't
is
only
the
fright
which
these
Dogs
put
her
into
,
that
has
brought
these
fits
upon
her
;
and
at
the
same
instant
he
took
her
out
of
mine
into
his
own
Arms.
At
what
time
,
Zoraida
,
fetching
a
deep
sigh
,
with
her
Eyes
still
bedew'd
with
Tears
;
be
gone
,
Christian
,
said
she
,
be
gone
.
Why
,
my
dear
Child
,
why
would'st
thou
have
him
be
gone
?
Alas
!
he
has
done
thee
no
harm
,
cry'd
Agimorato
,
and
for
the
Turks
,
they
were
so
honest
as
to
quit
their
pilfering
Design
,
upon
my
Approach
.
Chear
up
then
,
my
Girl
,
and
let
the
Christian
stay
,
perhaps
he
'll
tell
us
a
Story
will
make
us
both
laugh
;
for
the
Christians
sometimes
are
notable
Pratlers
—
No
,
no
,
said
I
,
interrupting
him
,
let
her
alone
,
these
cursed
Turks
,
Sir
,
have
put
her
too
much
out
of
humour
to
hear
Stories
;
and
therefore
for
my
part
,
since
she
desires
I
should
be
gone
,
I
do
not
think
it
proper
to
trouble
her
with
Impertinencies
.
Only
I
beg
of
your
Worship
to
give
me
leave
to
come
now
and
then
as
long
as
I
stay
,
and
pick
a
Sallad
in
your
Garden
.
As
often
as
thou
wilt
,
honest
Christian
,
cry'd
Agimorato
.
With
this
Liberty
of
his
so
freely
granted
,
I
took
my
leave
both
of
the
Father
and
the
Daughter
:
Who
,
if
there
be
any
Truth
in
the
Imagination
of
Lovers
,
seem'd
to
me
as
if
she
had
been
parting
with
her
own
Soul
,
when
I
parted
from
her
.
For
young
People
in
love
,
are
like
your
Astrologers
,
who
believe
they
see
Bulls
,
and
Bears
,
and
Rams
,
and
Lions
i'
the
Sky
,
when
there
are
no
such
things
.
But
hang
a
Man
that
has
no
shifts
,
and
a
Lover
without
his
Poetical
Fancies
.
Well!
but
what
did
I
next
,
you
'll
say
?
Why
,
in
the
next
place
,
being
thus
uncontroulable
,
and
alone
i'
the
Garden
,
I
walk'd
it
round
,
survey'd
every
Corner
,
every
Descent
,
and
every
rising
Ground
:
I
observ'd
all
the
Avenues
to
it
;
all
the
ways
out
of
it
,
and
where
most
conveniently
to
attack
the
House
,
if
there
should
be
Occasion
,
and
whatever
else
of
that
Nature
might
serve
to
accomplish
our
Design
:
And
having
so
done
,
away
I
went
to
give
an
Account
of
all
to
my
Companions
and
the
Renegado
,
impatient
to
possess
the
Blessing
that
Fortune
offer'd
me
in
the
Enjoyment
of
the
fair
Zoraida
.
Well
—
at
length
the
wish'd-for
Day
arriv'd
,
and
we
had
all
the
Success
we
could
expect
from
a
Contrivance
laid
with
so
much
Discretion
and
Consideration
.
For
the
Renegado
came
to
an
Anchor
in
the
Evening
over-against
Agimorato's
Garden
,
and
the
Rowers
lay
ready
conceal'd
,
with
itching
Fingers
to
be
boarding
the
Vessel
,
and
cutting
the
Moors
Throats
,
knowing
nothing
of
my
Design
,
but
absolutely
believing
they
were
to
gain
their
Liberty
by
Surprize
,
and
downright
Murder
.
Soon
after
I
came
with
my
Companions
;
at
what
time
the
Rowers
rose
out
of
their
lurking
Holes
,
and
met
us
for
Orders
what
to
do
.
We
saw
Fortune
favour'd
us
,
for
by
this
time
the
City
Gates
were
shut
,
and
all
the
Coast
was
clear
a'
that
side
.
So
that
our
first
Consultation
was
,
Whether
we
should
first
endeavour
to
get
Zoraida
into
our
Possession
,
or
make
sure
of
the
Moors
that
row'd
i'
the
Bark
.
To
which
our
Renegado
,
who
was
by
this
time
enter'd
into
our
Council
,
made
Answer
,
That
the
Moors
i'
the
Vessel
were
most
of
'em
asleep
,
the
rest
in
a
careless
Security
;
and
therefore
the
best
way
would
be
to
make
sure
of
them
first
,
that
we
might
be
absolutely
Masters
of
the
Vessel
,
before
we
went
to
fetch
Zoraida
.
And
so
saying
,
he
lead
the
way
,
and
leaping
into
the
Bark
with
his
Scimitar
in
his
hand
;
Let
not
a
man
of
ye
,
said
he
,
so
much
as
offer
to
stir
,
unless
he
be
weary
of
his
life
.
The
Moors
,
who
had
hardly
the
Courage
of
so
many
Red-Herrings
,
surpriz'd
to
hear
their
Master
thunder
out
such
big
words
,
and
seeing
so
many
Cutlaces
drawn
about
their
Ears
,
not
daring
so
much
as
to
lay
a
finger
upon
their
Arms
,
with
which
they
were
but
ill
provided
neither
,
submitted
Hands
and
Feet
to
Christian
Rigour
with
the
Patience
of
so
many
Martyrs
.
So
that
having
soon
bound
'em
to
their
good
Behaviour
,
and
lock'd
up
their
Tongues
and
their
Throats
,
under
the
Penalties
of
immediate
Death
and
Destruction
,
we
left
'em
with
a
Guard
of
one
half
of
our
Party
,
while
the
rest
,
together
with
the
Renegado
,
went
directly
to
Agimorato's
Garden
.
Where
,
after
we
had
open'd
the
Door
,
we
went
to
the
House
without
the
least
Noise
,
or
being
perceiv'd
by
any
body
.
Only
Zoraida
,
who
impatiently
watch'd
for
our
coming
,
with
a
low
Voice
ask'd
us
if
we
were
Christians
?
To
whom
I
made
answer
,
The
same
,
and
all
your
Servants
,
Madam
;
at
what
time
,
she
knowing
my
Voice
,
open'd
the
Door
and
came
down
to
us
,
so
bedeck'd
and
glistring
with
Pearls
and
Jewels
,
that
I
know
not
whom
to
liken
her
to
;
and
therefore
I
will
lik'n
her
to
no
body
.
I
took
her
by
the
Hand
and
kiss'd
it
,
so
did
the
Renegado
,
and
the
rest
of
my
Companions
.
For
by
Instinct
of
Nature
in
such
kind
of
Complements
,
Men
and
Sheep
are
alike
;
what
one
does
,
they
all
do
.
Nor
had
it
been
safe
for
me
to
have
stood
upon
Punctilio's
at
that
time
,
had
I
been
Amadis
de
Gaul
himself
.
After
that
,
the
Renegado
ask'd
her
where
her
Father
was
?
who
answer'd
him
,
a-bed
and
asleep
.
We
must
wake
him
,
cry'd
he
,
and
carry
him
along
with
us
,
and
then
clear
the
House
,
for
why
should
we
leave
any
thing
behind
?
By
no
means
,
cry'd
Zoraida
,
I
would
not
have
a
hair
of
my
Father's
head
touch'd
;
I
have
fleec'd
him
sufficiently
already
,
for
I
shall
take
along
with
me
all
that
is
of
value
i'
the
House
;
and
therefore
pray
be
contented
without
medling
with
him
,
who
will
have
Sorrow
enough
,
I
warrant
him
,
when
I
am
gone
.
With
that
,
re-entring
the
House
,
before
I
could
well
perswade
the
Renegado
not
to
contradict
her
in
the
least
,
she
return'd
with
a
Cabinet
full
of
Gold
,
as
much
as
she
could
lift
,
or
rather
more
.
At
what
time
unluckily
her
Father
wak'd
,
and
hearing
a
Noise
i'
the
Garden
,
put
his
head
out
at
Window
,
and
began
to
cry
out
Thieves
,
Thieves
;
Christians
,
Christians
;
which
put
us
into
a
great
Disorder
.
But
the
Renegado
seeing
the
Danger
wherein
we
were
,
and
of
what
Importance
it
was
to
be
speedy
in
the
Accomplishment
of
a
Design
of
this
Nature
,
ran
up
presently
into
Agimorato's
Chamber
,
with
some
of
my
Companions
,
while
I
staid
below
with
Zoraida
.
And
now
it
appear'd
that
our
Renegado
was
in
his
Element
when
there
was
a
Robbery
to
be
done
,
and
that
he
hunted
,
as
Dogs
do
,
for
his
own
Ends.
Never
did
Men
act
more
cordially
and
vigorously
like
Thieves
in
a
Burglary
,
while
he
stole
the
Father
,
and
I
the
Daughter
.
For
he
had
not
been
gone
above
four
Minutes
with
his
trusty
Companions
,
'
ere
they
brought
down
poor
Agimorato
with
his
Hands
bound
behind
him
,
and
his
Mouth
cramm'd
with
a
foul
Handkerchief
,
to
prevent
his
bawling
;
only
they
left
him
his
Legs
at
liberty
,
because
they
would
not
be
troubl'd
to
carry
him
.
When
the
Daughter
saw
her
Father
in
that
Condition
,
she
turn'd
away
her
Eyes
,
and
besought
us
to
do
him
no
harm
;
which
was
the
least
of
our
Thoughts
,
provided
he
did
us
none
.
However
,
it
shew'd
a
great
deal
of
good
Nature
in
a
Child
to
spare
her
Father's
Life
,
tho
she
took
his
Goods
.
And
thus
having
all
we
came
for
,
deeming
Haste
and
good
Heels
to
be
our
surest
Protectors
,
we
made
all
the
speed
we
could
to
the
Bark
,
where
they
that
staid
behind
,
were
in
no
less
Expectation
of
us
,
as
fearful
of
our
Success
;
but
seeing
us
return'd
with
our
whole
Prey
,
their
very
Hearts
skipp'd
i'
their
Bellies
.
It
was
now
two
a
Clock
in
the
Morning
when
we
,
being
got
safe
upon
the
salt
water
,
unbound
Agimorato
,
and
unstopp'd
his
Mouth
,
but
threatning
with
a
thousand
Oaths
to
slit
his
Wezand
,
if
he
made
the
least
use
of
his
Throat
.
Presently
the
poor
old
Man
beholding
his
Daughter
,
began
to
sigh
,
but
he
was
more
astonish'd
to
see
me
hugging
her
so
close
as
I
did
i'
my
Arms
,
and
she
suffering
it
with
a
conjugal
Patience
;
and
no
question
but
he
wou'd
ha'
made
use
of
his
Lungs
,
but
that
the
Renegado
stood
over
him
with
his
drawn
Hanger
.
However
,
Zoraida
fuller
and
fuller
of
good
Nature
still
,
when
she
perceiv'd
the
Vessel
begin
to
make
away
,
besought
the
Renegado
to
desire
me
for
Love's-sake
,
to
set
her
Father
and
the
rest
of
the
Moors
ashore
,
for
that
it
went
against
her
Conscience
to
carry
her
Father
away
,
whom
she
lov'd
so
dearly
,
as
not
to
rob
him
of
all
,
but
leave
him
his
native
Country
to
be
bury'd
in
.
To
which
I
readily
consented
,
as
desirous
of
nothing
more
then
to
be
rid
of
him
.
But
the
Renegado
,
his
Craft's-Master
in
such
Exercises
as
these
,
shewing
me
the
Danger
of
landing
a
Company
of
exasperated
Devils
,
that
as
soon
as
they
had
their
Liberty
,
would
be
calling
for
help
,
and
engage
the
People
to
send
after
us
some
nimble
Frigat
to
pick
us
up
again
for
Hawk's
Meat
;
we
all
agreed
,
and
Zoraida
no
less
prudent
then
dutiful
,
consented
not
to
deliver
the
Moors
till
we
were
upon
Christian
Land
.
So
that
after
we
had
recommended
our selves
to
God
,
as
well
as
we
could
,
considering
the
undefiledness
of
our
Consciences
,
and
the
Justice
of
the
Fact
we
had
committed
,
we
row'd
on
merrily
,
steering
away
for
Majorca
.
But
a
North-wind
rising
,
and
the
Sea
beginning
to
swell
,
we
were
forc'd
to
bear
in
to
the
Coast
of
Oran
,
and
to
creep
along
by
the
Shore
,
not
without
some
Apprehensions
(
for
the
Guilty
are
always
in
fear
)
of
being
discover'd
from
Sargel
,
which
lies
upon
that
Coast
,
about
threescore
Miles
from
Argier
,
or
else
meeting
with
some
Corsair
of
Tituan
,
tho
should
it
have
happen'd
to
be
a
Merchants
Ship
,
we
had
not
car'd
;
for
then
we
had
been
in
our
own
Element
again
,
believing
our selves
strong
enough
to
ha'
tak'n
her
,
and
so
to
have
added
to
our
Plunder
.
All
this
while
Zoraida
lay
with
her
Head
i'
my
Lap
,
either
unwilling
or
asham'd
to
behold
her
Father
;
and
yet
for
all
that
I
could
hear
her
very
devout
at
her
Prayers
to
Lela
Marien
for
our
Prosperity
.
Which
I
lookt
upon
as
a
Sign
that
a
little
Christianity
would
serve
her
turn
,
to
her
Praise
be
it
spoken
.
Well
—
by
this
time
we
had
row'd
thirty
Miles
,
and
the
day
breaking
,
shew'd
us
,
that
we
were
not
above
thrice
Musket-shot
from
the
Land
,
and
that
all
the
Coast
was
clear
,
which
embolden'd
us
to
put
out
to
Sea
.
But
then
▪
a
blustring
Wind
rose
,
that
oblig'd
us
to
clap
on
all
our
Sails
,
and
steer
towards
Oran
,
running
eight
Miles
an
hour
,
afraid
of
nothing
but
Pirates
.
Under
the
leisure
of
this
Gale
we
gave
the
Moors
to
eat
,
assuring
'em
,
that
they
were
no
Slaves
,
but
that
we
would
give
'em
their
Liberty
as
soon
as
Conveniency
would
permit
;
and
having
repeated
the
same
to
Zoraida's
Father
;
Christians
,
said
he
,
if
I
may
so
call
ye
,
that
act
more
like
Turks
,
never
think
me
so
simple
to
believe
,
that
after
you
have
expos'd
your selves
to
all
this
Danger
and
hazard
to
carry
me
away
,
that
you
will
be
so
generous
as
to
grant
me
my
Liberty
,
especially
knowing
what
a
Booty
ye
have
.
But
if
you
will
set
your
Price
,
I
will
give
ye
whatever
you
will
demand
,
to
release
my self
and
my
Daughter
;
at
least
,
if
ye
will
but
set
Her
free
,
who
is
more
dear
to
me
,
then
my
Life
,
and
all
my
Estate
.
And
so
saying
,
he
let
fall
such
a
Deluge
of
Tears
,
as
if
he
had
been
going
to
wash
his
own
sooty
Moor's
Face
white
;
which
drew
from
us
all
that
little
Compassion
we
had
;
at
what
time
Zoraida
turning
about
,
and
beholding
her
Father
in
that
State
of
Affliction
to
which
she
had
reduc'd
him
,
could
not
forbear
throwing
her
Arms
about
his
Neck
,
and
weeping
to
see
him
weep
;
and
then
to
see
them
weep
,
you
would
ha'
laugh'd
to
ha'
seen
all
us
weeping
for
Company
.
Tho
I
must
confess
,
I
cannot
believe
that
Zoraida's
Tears
were
any
other
then
Tears
of
Course
.
For
should
I
say
they
produc'd
any
Confession
to
her
Father
,
or
any
other
signs
of
Repentance
then
what
I
tell
ye
,
I
should
lye
most
incarnately
.
But
at
length
Agimorato
having
wip'd
his
Eyes
,
observ'd
his
Daughter
in
all
her
sumptuous
Raiment
,
and
glittering
with
all
her
high
priz'd
Jewels
,
as
if
she
had
been
going
to
a
Feast
:
How
now
,
Daughter
,
quo
he
,
What
's
the
meaning
a'
this
?
Yesterday
before
this
Misfortune
befell
us
,
you
were
i'
your
Worky-day
Clothes
,
and
now
i'
the
height
of
our
Calamity
you
appear
in
all
your
gorgeous
Gallantry
,
as
if
you
were
going
to
a
Wedding
?
To
all
which
Questions
Zoraida
,
as
well
she
might
,
was
at
a
stand
what
Answer
to
make
her
Father
;
who
at
the
same
time
perceiving
the
Casket
of
Jewels
in
a
corner
of
the
Bark
,
which
he
thought
had
been
safe
in
his
Closet
in
Argier
,
strangely
surpriz'd
,
he
ask'd
her
how
that
came
into
our
Hands
?
But
then
the
Renegado
stepping
in
;
Come
,
come
,
Sir
,
said
he
,
Catechises
are
for
Christians
,
and
not
for
you
Moors
:
In
short
,
Sir
,
your
Daughter
is
not
the
Daughter
you
take
her
to
be
:
She
is
turn'd
Christian
,
and
she
it
was
that
furnish'd
us
out
of
your
Coffers
with
the
means
to
purchase
our
Liberty
;
and
thinks
her self
happy
in
embracing
a
Religion
as
full
of
Truth
,
as
yours
is
of
Lyes
and
Falshood
.
Is
this
true
,
Daughter
,
cry'd
the
Moor
?
My
dear
Father
,
I
cannot
deny
it
,
answer'd
Zoraida
.
How
!
reply'd
the
Moor
,
turn'd
Christian
!
A
precious
Religion
,
by
Mahomet
,
that
teaches
a
Daughter
to
rob
and
enslave
her
Father
.
I
am
truly
turn'd
Christian
,
answer'd
Zoraida
,
but
I
was
not
the
Occasion
of
your
Captivity
;
nor
did
I
think
to
displease
ye
,
but
only
to
withdraw
my self
,
and
take
a
comfortable
Subsistance
along
with
me
,
which
I
humbly
thank
ye
,
dear
Sir
,
you
never
deny'd
me
;
to
the
end
I
might
go
seek
that
Happiness
among
the
Christians
,
which
I
could
not
find
among
the
Moors
.
And
what
Happiness
,
confounded
Devil
of
a
Daughter
,
is
that
,
quo
the
Moor
?
Nay
Sir
,
you
must
ask
Lela
Marien
that
Question
,
reply'd
Zoraida
,
she
'll
tell
ye
better
then
I
can
.
Upon
which
,
the
Moor
thinking
himself
derided
by
his
own
Flesh
and
Blood
,
with
an
incredible
Dexterity
flung
himself
headlong
into
the
Sea
,
where
he
had
perish'd
without
Redemption
,
but
that
his
Clothes
buoying
him
up
above
water
,
we
had
at
length
the
Opportunity
to
hook
him
up
again
into
the
Vessel
,
half
drown'd
and
senseless
.
Which
so
afflicted
good
natur'd
Zoraida
,
that
she
threw
her self
upon
her
Father
,
Pearls
and
Jewels
and
all
,
and
wash'd
him
again
with
a
Deluge
of
Tears
,
as
if
,
poor
Man
,
a'
had
not
been
wet
enough
before
;
but
alas
!
she
thought
he
had
been
dead
,
and
that
was
only
to
embalm
him
.
But
because
those
vain
Complaints
signify'd
nothing
,
I
carry'd
her
off
into
the
Cabbin
i'
my
own
Arms
of
Consolation
,
and
kiss'd
away
those
Tears
that
had
sully'd
her
fair
Cheeks
,
telling
her
,
that
Fathers
were
to
be
forgot
,
when
Husbands
were
i'
the
case
:
while
the
Rest
took
so
much
care
of
her
Parent
for
my
sake
,
that
in
two
Hours
he
was
as
crank
again
as
a
Body-louse
.
At
what
time
the
Wind
changing
,
Fortune
guided
us
better
then
we
expected
,
to
a
certain
Bay
secur'd
by
a
Promontory
,
which
the
Moors
call
Cava
Roumia
,
or
the
Wicked
Christian
Woman
;
having
a
Tradition
among
'em
,
That
the
Daughter
of
Don
Julian
,
who
was
the
Occasion
of
the
loss
of
Spain
,
was
bury'd
there
.
In
that
Place
,
perceiving
the
Wind
favourable
,
and
the
Sea
grown
calm
,
we
unbound
the
Moors
and
set
'em
ashore
,
contrary
to
their
Expectation
But
when
we
came
to
let
down
Agimorato
into
the
Skiff
,
Wherefore
is
it
,
Christians
,
d'
ye
think
,
said
he
,
that
this
wicked
Woman
is
so
desirous
to
see
me
at
Liberty
?
Think
ye
,
't
is
out
of
any
Love
or
Pity
that
she
has
for
me
?
No
,
no
,
't
is
only
because
she
's
asham'd
I
should
be
the
Testimony
of
her
wicked
Designs
.
Don't
you
believe
that
she
has
chang'd
her
Religion
,
because
she
thinks
it
better
then
her
own
,
but
because
she
has
heard
the
Women
have
more
liberty
in
your
Country
then
among
the
Moors
.
She
has
heard
what
Pranks
the
Women
play
there
,
how
they
go
when
they
please
,
and
come
when
they
please
;
how
they
crow
over
their
Husbands
,
nay
,
how
they
have
choice
of
Gallants
,
and
the
liberty
too
to
pick
and
chuse
;
and
that
's
the
thing
she
'd
be
at
,
under
the
pretence
of
changing
her
Devotion
.
But
Christian
,
said
he
,
turning
to
my self
,
for
I
find
thou
art
pretty
intimate
with
her
already
,
if
it
be
thy
Misfortune
to
have
her
,
pad-lock
her
be
sure
,
chain
her
,
immure
her
,
let
her
never
see
Sun
nor
Moon
,
but
only
Candle-light
,
when
thou
art
with
her
;
for
of
all
Women
,
there
are
none
more
dangerous
,
nor
more
certain
to
shew
a
Man
a
slippery
Trick
,
then
your
Women
that
counterfeit
Religion
to
cloak
their
mischievous
Designs
.
And
then
turning
to
Zoraida
,
while
my self
and
another
held
him
,
for
fear
he
should
a'
done
her
a
Mischief
;
Quistril
without
shame
,
said
he
,
ingrateful
,
and
inconsiderate
Off-spring
of
my
Loins
,
whither
do
thy
youthful
Ardours
so
impetuously
hurry
thee
?
Think'st
thou
all
the
Moors
are
Eunuchs
but
my self
that
gave
thee
life
?
Curs'd
be
the
Hour
I
did
it
,
and
curs'd
be
all
my
Care
to
breed
thee
up
.
Is
it
for
this
thou
send'st
me
home
to
empty
Chests
and
Coffers
?
—
Here
I
stopt
the
stream
of
his
Passion
;
for
finding
the
Storm
of
his
Rage
begin
to
rise
too
high
,
I
thought
it
best
to
order
the
Rowers
to
carry
him
away
by
main
force
,
and
put
him
safe
ashore
,
knowing
we
should
soon
be
out
of
hearing
his
Exclamation
;
for
which
,
to
tell
ye
the
truth
,
in
Justice
I
could
not
blame
him
.
But
he
had
no
sooner
set
his
foot
upon
dry
Land
,
but
he
began
to
pour
forth
his
Maledictions
,
like
Pease
out
of
a
Sack
,
both
against
us
,
and
all
the
whole
Race
of
Men
and
Women
for
our
sakes
:
beseeching
Mahomet
to
beg
of
God
to
sink
,
destroy
,
confound
and
overwhelm
us
,
Ship
,
and
all
,
to
the
bottom
of
the
bottomless
Pit
.
And
when
he
thought
us
out
of
hearing
,
that
his
Curses
and
Lamentations
would
signifie
nothing
,
he
fell
a'
tearing
his
Hair
,
rending
his
innocent
Beard
from
his
Chin
,
and
wallowing
upon
the
Sand
with
such
visible
Marks
of
Depair
,
that
we
were
all
afraid
he
would
lay
violent
Hands
upon
himself
.
But
then
again
,
the
Remainders
of
his
Affection
calming
the
Fury
of
his
Transports
,
with
all
his
force
,
Return
,
he
cry'd
,
dear
Child
,
return
,
I
pardon
all
thy
Folly
.
Leave
those
Ravishers
the
Wealth
which
they
possess
,
only
return
,
the
sole
Consolation
of
a
Father
that
loves
thee
tenderly
,
and
who
must
die
in
this
Desart
,
if
thou
forsak'st
him
.
Zoraida
heard
him
,
but
all
the
Comfort
that
she
gave
him
,
was
only
this
,
That
she
desir'd
Lela
Marien
,
who
had
made
her
a
Christian
,
to
grant
him
Consolation
;
withall
,
calling
the
great
Alla
to
witness
,
that
she
could
not
help
what
she
had
done
,
that
the
Christians
had
not
forc'd
her
away
,
but
that
she
could
not
withstand
the
Charms
of
Lela
Marien
,
who
incessantly
press'd
her
to
proceed
in
her
Design
,
and
therefore
desir'd
him
not
to
be
offended
.
I
must
confess
,
sh'
had
as
good
ha'
said
nothing
,
being
assur'd
that
half
these
words
were
spok'n
to
the
Wind
;
only
that
Zoraida
had
a
mind
to
shew
her self
a
dutiful
Child
to
the
last
Breath
.
For
by
this
time
we
had
lost
sight
of
Agimorato
,
and
now
disingag'd
from
all
farther
Trouble
,
as
we
thought
,
we
sail'd
along
with
such
a
merry
Gale
,
that
made
us
hope
we
should
reach
the
Coast
of
Spain
by
break
of
Day
.
But
as
there
is
no
good
Fortune
that
comes
pure
and
neat
,
without
some
Sting
i'
the
Tail
of
it
,
whether
it
were
our
own
bad
luck
,
or
whether
Heaven
had
heard
the
Curses
which
the
Moor
had
so
heartily
bestow'd
upon
his
Daughter
,
our
Joy
was
not
of
long
Continuance
.
For
as
we
were
in
the
open
Sea
,
three
hours
of
the
Night
being
spent
,
spooming
before
the
Wind
with
a
brisk
Gale
,
and
all
the
Sail
we
could
make
,
we
saw
by
the
light
of
the
Moon
,
a
round
Vessel
bearing
right
upon
our
Larboard-side
,
so
that
we
had
much
ado
to
sheer
clear
of
her
.
At
the
same
time
they
hal'd
us
,
and
ask'd
us
,
whence
our
Ship
?
what
we
were
,
and
whither
bound
?
All
which
Questions
being
made
in
French
,
the
Renegado
would
return
no
Answer
,
assuring
us
,
that
they
were
French
Pirates
that
made
no
Distinction
of
Friends
or
Foes
.
Upon
which
we
held
on
our
Course
without
answering
a
tittle
,
leaving
the
other
Vessel
by
the
Lee
.
But
they
resolving
not
to
let
us
go
so
,
sent
two
Messengers
after
us
i'
the
Devil's
Name
,
and
guided
certainly
by
his
own
invisible
Paw
.
For
the
first
Shot
brought
our
main
Mast
by
the
board
,
so
that
it
tumbl'd
into
the
Sea
,
Sail
and
all
:
The
second
went
through
and
through
the
Bark
from
side
to
side
,
and
made
such
a
wide
Passage
for
the
Salt-water
,
that
finding
our
Vessel
ready
to
sink
,
we
call'd
out
for
help
.
Thereupon
they
presently
hoisted
out
their
long
Boat
,
and
in
a
trice
we
had
no
less
then
twelve
French
men
,
with
their
Muskets
and
Match
lighted
,
to
attend
us
;
who
perceiving
the
Condition
of
our
Bark
,
took
us
into
their
Boat
,
reproaching
us
for
our
Incivility
;
and
after
they
had
ask'd
us
as
many
Questions
as
they
thought
fit
,
fell
a
stripping
us
,
as
if
we
had
been
their
Capital
Enemies
;
for
they
took
,
without
Compassion
,
all
that
we
had
,
from
us
,
except
the
Cascanet
of
Jewels
,
which
the
Renegado
not
knowing
otherwise
where
to
hide
,
flung
into
the
Sea
,
for
Neptune
to
present
to
some
of
his
Concubines
;
chusing
rather
so
to
dispose
of
'em
,
then
that
they
should
fall
into
the
Hands
of
those
that
would
ha'
sold
'em
,
for
Bristol-stones
,
and
spent
the
Money
upon
Whores
and
Brandy
.
From
Zoraida
also
they
took
the
Bracelets
about
her
Legs
and
her
Wrists
.
But
I
did
not
so
much
mind
the
loss
of
the
Pomp
and
Vanity
of
the
World
,
as
I
fear'd
the
rude
,
lawless
Rogues
would
ha'
been
scrambling
for
another
Jewel
more
worth
the●
all
the
rest
,
which
wou'd
ha'
vex'd
me
to
the
Soul
,
that
I
shou'd
ha'
taken
so
much
Pains
for
Sailers
Leavings
.
But
as
luck
wou'd
have
it
,
the
Brutes
were
so
intent
upon
dividing
their
Spoil
,
that
they
ne're
minded
Beauty
by
Moon-light
.
But
that
which
put
me
into
a
deeper
Consideration
,
was
,
That
they
consulted
among
themselves
,
whether
they
should
not
throw
us
all
into
the
Sea
,
muffl'd
up
in
our
own
Sails
;
for
that
having
a
Design
to
trade
in
some
parts
of
Spain
under
English
Colours
,
they
were
afraid
we
should
discover
the
Piracy
they
had
committed
,
and
cause
'em
to
be
stopt
in
Harbour
.
But
the
Captain
,
to
whose
share
Zoraida's
Plunder
fell
,
thought
himself
so
well
paid
for
his
Night's
Work
,
that
he
alter'd
those
violent
Resolutions
of
his
Diabolical
Crew
,
and
was
so
kind
as
to
give
us
his
long
Boat
,
and
as
much
Victuals
as
would
serve
to
carry
us
ashore
,
of
which
he
found
we
needed
no
great
Quantity
,
being
now
within
ken
of
the
Spanish
Coast
;
the
sight
whereof
did
so
revive
our
Hearts
,
that
we
forgot
our
late
Misfortunes
.
Nay
,
more
then
that
,
the
Captain
being
a
Man
of
some
Compassion
,
and
out
of
I
know
not
what
Qualm
of
Generosity
,
believing
it
ungentile
to
leave
a
young
Lady
without
any
Money
in
her
Pocket
,
return'd
her
about
forty
Crowns
of
her
Gold
,
and
would
not
permit
the
Souldiers
to
meddle
with
the
Clothes
that
she
had
on
.
So
that
indeed
what
might
we
not
ha'
sav'd
,
had
we
been
half
so
wise
as
Waltham's
Calf
,
when
we
had
time
to
prevent
the
worst
.
However
,
we
were
very
thankful
,
I
le
assure
ye
,
for
what
we
had
;
and
so
being
dismiss'd
,
away
we
row'd
toward
the
Land
,
and
by
Midnight-Moon-light
got
ashore
.
Where
,
as
soon
as
we
had
set
our
Feet
upon
the
firm
Sand
,
we
wept
for
Joy
,
and
gave
thanks
to
Heaven
that
the
worst
was
no
worse
.
After
that
,
we
fetch'd
our
Provision
out
of
the
Skiff
,
and
all
that
Night
shelter'd
our selves
,
as
well
as
we
could
,
under
the
Covert
of
a
Rock
close
by
.
So
soon
as
Morning
appear'd
,
we
sent
up
some
of
our
Company
to
see
if
they
could
discover
any
Towns
,
or
Villages
,
or
Steeples
at
any
distance
;
but
there
was
neither
the
one
nor
the
other
to
be
seen
,
as
if
we
had
been
in
a
Desart
.
Thereupon
we
resolv'd
to
foot
it
along
,
under
the
Guidance
of
Fortune
,
till
we
met
with
something
,
or
some
Body
,
that
might
convince
us
we
were
got
into
an
inhabited
Country
.
Nothing
griev'd
me
,
but
to
see
that
poor
Zoraida's
feet
began
to
blister
;
so
that
I
could
ha'
wish'd
her
for
the
time
no
bigger
then
a
Pigmy
,
that
I
might
ha'
carry'd
her
at
my
back
,
as
the
Gypsies
carry
their
Bantlings
.
I
confess
,
sometimes
meer
Tenderness
and
Affection
constrain'd
me
to
take
her
up
upon
my
shoulders
;
but
then
me
thought
,
I
look'd
so
like
a
Petty-Chapman
,
with
his
Potter's
Shop
at
his
back
,
that
I
could
not
chuse
but
laugh
at
my self
;
besides
,
that
it
hinder'd
us
from
keeping
pace
with
our
Company
:
So
that
all
the
help
we
had
,
was
to
walk
Arm
in
Arm
together
,
like
Young
Gammer
,
tugging
her
Young
Gaffer
along
,
with
her
Elbow
in
his
Ribs
,
upon
a
Holy-day
.
In
this
posture
we
travell'd
along
,
till
we
heard
the
tinkling
of
a
little
Bell
,
which
made
us
believe
that
there
were
some
Sheep
feeding
not
far
off
;
and
looking
about
us
,
we
saw
a
Shepherd
lying
at
the
foot
of
a
Cork-Tree
,
plotting
no
Treason
I
dare
swear
,
but
at
his
full
ease
,
whitling
a
stick
with
his
wood'n
hasted
Knife
.
As
soon
as
we
came
within
hearing
,
we
call'd
to
him
;
but
he
,
turning
his
Head
,
and
seeing
the
Renegado
and
Zoraida
in
their
Moors
Habit
,
got
upon
his
ten
Toes
,
and
believing
all
the
Moors
in
Barbary
had
been
at
his
heels
,
fell
a
running
as
hard
as
his
Legs
could
carry
him
;
crying
out
,
Moors
,
Moors
,
Arm
,
Arm.
Which
put
us
into
a
peck
of
troubles
,
well
knowing
the
Custom
of
the
Place
.
For
we
were
afraid
that
this
should
alarm
the
Cavalry
,
that
lay
ready
to
scour
the
Country
upon
such
Occasions
.
And
indeed
,
as
we
fear'd
,
so
it
happen'd
;
for
about
two
hours
after
,
as
we
were
entring
into
a
fair
Plain
out
of
a
long
Heath
full
of
Brakes
and
Bryars
,
we
saw
about
fifty
Horse-men
galloping
towards
us
in
very
good
Order
.
Nevertheless
we
resolv'd
to
abide
their
Charge
without
stirring
a
foot
,
believing
they
could
not
be
so
inhumane
to
hurt
us
.
But
alas
,
they
were
more
astonish'd
then
we
,
when
they
found
instead
of
the
Moors
which
they
look'd
for
,
a
small
Crew
of
miserable
,
ragged
,
forlorn
,
tatter'd
Christians
.
What!
are
you
,
they
cry'd
,
the
terrible
black
Legion
of
Moors
,
that
ha'
giv'n
this
hot
Alarm
?
To
which
I
was
going
about
to
give
an
Answer
,
at
what
time
,
one
of
our
Companions
knowing
the
Horse-man
again
that
ask'd
the
Question
,
Bless'd
be
our
Guardian-Angel
,
said
he
,
that
has
brought
us
hither
.
For
if
I
mistake
not
,
we
are
in
the
Province
of
Velez
Malaga
;
and
if
my
long
Slavery
has
not
destroy'd
my
Memory
,
you
are
such
a
One
my
Uncle
.
Upon
which
the
Horse-man
,
after
he
had
look'd
wistly
in
his
face
,
whipt
from
his
Saddle
,
and
embracing
the
young
Man
,
't
is
very
true
,
said
he
;
dear
Nephew
of
my
Soul
,
't
is
very
true
,
I
am
that
Uncle
,
that
have
a
thousand
times
bewail'd
thee
for
dead
(
see
now
how
the
Story
begins
to
thicken
)
and
thee
it
is
,
that
my
Sister
,
and
thy
Mother
and
I
have
lamented
and
bewail'd
whole
hours
together
,
believing
thee
buried
in
the
Belly
of
some
Shark
or
Sword-fish
;
but
Heavens
!
what
weeping
now
will
there
be
for
Joy
,
when
all
thy
Friends
,
that
are
still
alive
,
shall
see
thee
again
.
When
the
Souldiers
perceiv'd
that
we
were
Christian
Slaves
,
they
all
alighted
,
and
proffer'd
us
their
Horses
,
to
carry
us
to
Malaga
,
whither
it
was
about
four
miles
and
a
half
.
But
we
refusing
to
ride
single
,
they
took
us
up
behind
'em
;
and
as
for
Zoraida
,
my
Companion's
Uncle
took
particular
care
of
her
.
In
this
Equipage
we
were
joyfully
receiv'd
by
the
People
of
the
City
,
who
having
notice
of
our
Arrival
,
came
forth
in
heaps
to
meet
us
.
But
nothing
surpriz'd
'em
so
much
as
Zoraida's
Beauty
,
at
a
time
when
the
heat
of
Travelling
,
and
her
joy
to
see
her self
safe
among
the
Christians
,
brought
such
lively
Colours
into
her
Cheeks
,
that
I
may
safely
say
without
flattery
,
I
never
saw
any
thing
more
lovely
in
my
life
.
All
the
People
accompany'd
us
to
the
great
Church
,
where
we
alighted
,
to
return
thanks
to
Heaven
for
our
Miraculous
Deliverance
from
Slavery
.
And
I
remember
that
Zoraida
,
as
soon
as
she
enter'd
the
Church
,
and
had
look'd
a
little
about
her
,
told
us
,
that
she
saw
Faces
which
resembl'd
that
of
Lela
Marien
,
as
she
had
appear'd
to
her
.
't
is
very
true
,
said
I
,
for
those
are
the
very
Pictures
of
her
;
which
I
inform'd
her
the
rather
,
that
she
might
pay
the
same
Veneration
to
'em
,
that
the
Christians
did
.
Nor
was
Zoraida
so
thick
skull'd
,
as
not
to
know
what
I
meant
;
for
she
acted
the
Christian
so
prettily
,
that
all
the
People
were
over-joy'd
to
see
such
a
Convert
.
When
we
came
out
of
the
Church
,
the
rest
of
my
Companions
had
Lodging
appointed
for
'em
at
Publick
Houses
,
where
you
may
be
sure
they
had
their
Diet
and
Being
for
nothing
,
to
tell
their
Stories
over
and
over
to
all
Commers
and
Goers
.
As
for
Zoraida
,
my self
,
and
the
Renegado
,
the
Souldier's
Nephew
carry'd
us
all
three
to
his
Father's
House
,
who
was
a
Slop-seller
,
a
very
sufficient
Man
;
and
one
that
receiv'd
,
and
made
as
much
of
us
as
he
did
of
his
own
Son
.
There
we
continued
six
days
,
till
our
Story
grew
thred-bare
(
for
Stories
are
like
Flowers
,
delightful
when
fresh
,
but
wither
when
too
much
breath'd
upon
,
)
nor
was
the
Slop-seller
bound
to
maintain
us
for
ever
.
Therefore
after
the
six
days
of
Honey-Moon
were
over
,
the
Renegado
went
to
seek
his
Fortune
;
but
whither
,
or
how
he
intended
to
dispose
of
himself
,
as
having
now
done
with
him
,
I
neither
enquir'd
,
nor
car'd
to
know
.
As
for
Zoraida
and
my self
,
we
liv'd
upon
the
Liberality
of
the
Courteous
Pirate
,
of
which
I
laid
out
some
part
to
buy
her
a
Mule
,
to
ease
her
in
Travelling
;
and
now
I
am
going
to
see
whether
my
Father
be
alive
,
and
whether
my
Brothers
have
met
with
any
better
Fortune
i'
the
World
then
I
did
.
Though
I
must
confess
,
I
have
no
reason
to
complain
of
Fortune
,
who
tho
a
little
too
unkindly
she
has
bestow'd
her
Portion
upon
another
,
has
however
bestow'd
the
Wife
upon
me
;
and
the
Affection
of
Zoraida
,
whose
Beauty
and
Vertues
I
value
above
all
the
Riches
in
the
World
.
But
in
regard
this
World
is
govern'd
by
Proverbs
,
of
which
there
is
one
that
tells
us
,
More
belongs
to
Wedlock
,
then
four
bare
Legs
in
a
Bed
:
And
another
,
that
says
,
Sweet-heart
and
Honey-bird
keeps
no
House
;
therefore
it
is
,
that
I
would
fain
find
out
a
way
to
reconcile
my self
with
this
angry
,
frowning
,
waspish
World
;
and
beg
of
Madam
,
Countess
,
Dutchess
,
Queen
,
Empress
;
nay
,
if
Titles
would
please
her
,
I
would
call
her
Saint
Fortune
,
that
she
would
condescend
to
favour
me
so
far
,
as
to
assist
me
to
recover
my self
into
a
condition
,
that
I
may
be
able
in
some
measure
,
to
retaliate
Zoraida
for
the
Losses
she
has
sustain'd
for
my
sake
,
that
she
may
not
repent
her
having
exchang'd
and
abandon'd
the
Superfluity
and
Abundance
of
Mahumetism
,
for
the
Poverty
and
Misery
of
Christianity
.
In
a
word
,
the
Patience
which
she
has
shewn
in
all
the
Hardships
which
she
has
suffer'd
,
and
all
the
Misfortunes
that
have
befall'n
us
is
such
,
that
I
cannot
but
consider
it
with
Admiration
.
But
that
which
is
more
to
be
admir'd
then
all
the
rest
,
is
her
ardent
desire
to
be
a
Christian
.
So
that
had
I
receiv'd
no
other
Obligations
at
her
hands
,
her
Vertue
alone
is
that
which
engages
me
to
esteem
and
honour
her
as
long
as
I
live
.
Nevertheless
,
in
the
midst
of
all
my
Joy
to
be
possess'd
of
Her
,
I
cannot
be
at
rest
,
till
I
am
assur'd
to
find
some
corner
of
my
Country
,
where
I
may
possess
so
much
Felicity
in
Tranquillity
and
Peace
of
Mind
,
fearing
the
death
of
my
Father
;
and
that
my
Brothers
,
if
advanc'd
,
have
found
their
Preferment
in
some
places
far
distant
from
the
seat
of
their
Nativity
;
or
else
that
Fortune
has
been
no
kinder
to
them
,
then
to
my self
.
This
,
Gentlemen
,
is
my
Story
,
which
if
I
have
not
rehears'd
to
your
content
,
you
must
pardon
me
,
because
I
am
no
Orator
:
Or
if
I
have
been
too
prolix
,
I
beseech
ye
to
excuse
me
,
because
I
could
not
make
it
any
shorter
.
Besides
,
Gentlemen
,
I
have
observ'd
,
that
when
men
tell
stories
of
themselves
,
they
are
so
full
of
their
own
Conceits
,
and
so
wrapt
up
i'
their
own
Thoughts
,
that
they
never
mind
the
Errors
they
commit
;
so
that
while
they
are
,
as
it
were
,
playing
their
own
Game
,
they
make
those
mistakes
,
which
they
can
never
so
curiously
observe
as
the
standers
by
.
CHAP.
XV
.
Of
what
happen'd
in
the
Inn
;
and
of
other
Remarkable
Passages
,
worthy
to
be
known
.
THE
Story
's
a
good
Story
,
quo
Don
Ferdinand
,
and
will
serve
well
enough
over
a
Bottle
o'
Wine
:
But
not
so
strange
,
nor
so
full
of
Accidents
or
Variety
,
that
I
have
heard
.
For
my
Ears
meet
with
but
one
change
in
all
the
whole
Relation
,
and
that
was
when
the
Pirates
chang'd
your
Gold
for
ye
,
and
gave
the
Lady
the
rest
again
.
But
gi'
me
leave
to
tell
ye
,
for
tho
I
ha'
been
a
sinner
i'
my
time
,
I
am
now
and
then
a
little
queasie-conscienc'd
;
I
do
not
like
the
Master-Spring
,
that
gives
motion
to
the
whole
Watch-work
of
your
Discourse
.
And
therefore
,
had
I
been
the
Surveyor
of
this
Tale
,
I
should
ha'
laid
it
upon
some
other
Foundation
.
I
cannot
believe
,
the
Alcoran
it self
does
any
where
justifie
a
Christian
Daughter
,
under
a
pretended
inflam'd
desire
of
turning
Mahometan
,
to
rob
a
dearly
beloved
Christian
Parent
of
all
he
had
i'
the
World
,
and
run
away
with
a
Gentleman-like
manner
o'
man
,
that
had
not
a
rag
to
his
back
.
't
is
true
,
I
ha'
heard
of
a
Christian
Damsel
,
that
so
soon
as
her
Father
was
dead
,
got
the
Key
of
his
Iron
Chest
,
and
cramming
five
hundred
broad
Pieces
into
her
Apron
,
in
her
Brother's
absence
,
ran
away
with
it
to
a
Grocer
,
and
marry'd
him
,
and
the
Grocer
marry'd
her
for
lucre
of
the
Money
.
But
this
Christian
Virgin
was
Conscionable
;
she
took
but
five
hundred
out
of
five
thousand
,
and
left
her
Brother
the
rest
.
But
this
Lady
robb'd
her
Father
of
all
he
had
i'
the
World
,
and
left
him
nothing
but
a
Garden
,
and
his
choice
of
a
few
Trees
to
hang
himself
,
when
he
consider'd
how
his
own
Flesh
and
Blood
had
serv'd
him
.
You
say
,
she
did
it
at
the
importunity
of
Lela
Marien
:
But
this
is
to
make
our
Saints
in
Bliss
,
no
better
then
the
Ancient
Poets
made
their
Heathen
Gods
and
Goddesses
,
meer
Whores
and
Pilferers
.
For
if
Lela
Marien
advis'd
Zoraida
to
rob
her
Father
;
nay
,
as
far
as
I
can
hear
,
she
took
a
Journey
to
Earth
a
purpose
to
encourage
and
instruct
her
,
then
was
Lela
Marien
Accessary
to
the
Crime●
which
can
never
enter
into
my
thoughts
.
And
therefore
,
Sir
,
the
next
time
you
tell
your
Story
,
I
would
have
ye
with
the
Pruning-knife
of
Discretion
pare
off
some
part
of
it
,
and
only
say
,
That
the
Young
Lady
,
like
Pasiphae
,
and
several
others
,
long'd
for
something
that
Young
Ladies
,
pent
up
as
the
Moors
lock
up
their
Daughters
,
by
instinct
of
Nature
long
for
at
her
Years
;
and
that
fixing
her
Fancy
upon
you
,
no
body
else
would
serve
her
turn
—
and
so
go
on
—
What
think
you
,
Mr.
Curate
?
—
Truly
,
my
Lord
,
reply'd
the
Curate
,
I
have
been
all
along
of
your
Mind
;
and
if
I
were
to
be
Fore-man
of
Lela
Marien's
Grand-Jury
,
I
would
bring
her
in
Ignoramus
.
However
,
Don
Ferdinand
,
perceiving
Zoraida
to
colour
at
his
Opinion
,
told
the
Captive
,
that
since
the
Lady
had
paid
so
dear
for
her
Learning
,
he
pity'd
the
misfortunes
of
her
Beauty
,
tho
not
the
disappointment
of
his
own
Expectations
:
And
as
for
her
Pious
design
of
turning
Christian
,
he
was
so
far
from
discouraging
her
in
it
,
that
if
both
he
and
she
would
be
pleas'd
to
accept
his
offer
,
and
go
along
with
him
,
he
would
prevail
with
his
own
Brother
to
be
Zoraida's
God-father
;
and
would
himself
take
care
to
put
'em
both
into
such
an
Equipage
,
as
should
Command
a
Welcome
to
his
Native
Country
,
befitting
Zoraida's
Beauty
and
Merit
.
Which
the
Captive
with
many
endearing
Complements
acknowledg'd
for
a
high
favour
;
but
whether
it
were
that
he
was
unwilling
to
trust
Zoraida
with
such
a
Whipster
as
Don
Ferdinand
seem'd
to
be
,
he
humbly
excus'd
himself
,
alledging
his
desire
to
return
with
all
the
speed
he
could
,
where
his
Heart
was
already
gone
before
.
However
,
the
Curate
,
Cardenio
,
and
the
rest
applauded
Don
Ferdinand's
Generosity
,
and
gave
him
a
thousand
Thanks
,
as
if
the
Offer
had
been
made
to
themselves
.
By
this
time
the
Sun
was
just
gone
down
,
when
a
Coach
and
Six
came
thundring
to
the
Gate
of
the
Inn
,
attended
by
several
Horse-men
,
that
rode
into
the
Yard
,
and
ask'd
for
Lodging
.
To
whom
the
Answer
was
,
That
the
House
was
full
.
Full
!
said
the
Gentleman
,
it
cannot
be
so
full
sure
,
but
that
there
must
be
room
for
the
Judge
of
the
Prerogative
.
The
Inn-keeper
surpriz'd
to
hear
the
Title
,
modestly
answer'd
,
That
all
his
Rooms
were
taken
up
,
but
if
the
Judge
had
a
Bed
of
his
own
,
as
he
question'd
not
but
that
he
had
,
he
would
spare
him
his
own
Chamber
.
Presently
appear'd
a
comely
graceful
Person
,
in
a
long
Gown
with
tufted
Buttons
,
leading
a
young
Lady
in
his
Hand
,
about
fifteen
Years
of
Age
,
to
outward
Appearance
,
in
her
riding
Habit
,
neat
and
fashionable
;
but
in
her
own
Person
so
fair
and
lovely
withall
,
that
she
dazl'd
the
Eyes
of
all
that
beheld
her
;
as
being
nothing
inferiour
to
Madam
Dorothy
,
Lucinda
,
or
Zoraida
themselves
.
Don
Quixote
standing
at
the
Inn-door
when
the
Judge
alighted
out
of
the
Coach
,
so
soon
as
he
saw
him
ready
to
enter
,
Sir
,
said
he
,
you
may
boldly
advance
into
this
Castle
,
and
stay
as
long
as
you
please
,
tho
it
be
not
so
spacious
,
nor
so
well
accommodated
as
it
should
be
:
But
be
it
what
it
will
,
there
must
be
room
for
Knights
and
Men
of
Learning
,
especially
when
accompany'd
with
so
much
Beauty
as
you
lead
along
;
to
which
,
not
only
the
Gates
of
Castles
should
flye
open
,
but
Rocks
themselves
should
know
their
Duty
,
and
remove
,
or
else
dissolve
before
her
;
and
Mountains
part
asunder
,
or
sink
into
the
Earth
,
to
give
her
way
.
Then
enter
,
Sir
,
this
Paradise
,
where
you
shall
meet
with
Stars
fit
to
attend
the
Sun
that
shines
in
your
Hand
;
Valour
and
Courage
in
their
Perfection
,
and
Beauty
in
the
Highest
degree
of
Splendour
.
The
serious
Judge
,
amaz'd
to
hear
Don
Quixote's
Bombast
,
survey'd
him
with
a
curious
Eye
,
admiring
his
Dress
and
Aspect
beyond
his
Words
,
and
finding
no
Body
to
satisfie
his
Curiosity
,
resolv'd
himself
to
have
t'other
view
of
the
Mysterious
Object
,
when
Lucinda
,
Madam
Dorothy
,
and
Zoraida
,
having
heard
the
Hostess
to
extoll
her
new
Guest
,
went
to
pay
her
the
Civilities
of
Strangers
,
and
invite
her
into
their
Company
.
And
the
same
spreading
News
also
brought
Don
Ferdinand
,
Cardenio
,
the
Curate
,
and
the
rest
of
the
Company
to
wait
upon
the
Judge
,
as
an
unknown
Person
of
Honour
and
Dignity
,
but
more
to
behold
the
dazling
Beauty
of
the
Young
Lady
,
and
Complement
her
into
their
Society
.
On
the
other
side
,
the
Grave
Judge
was
so
confounded
to
hear
and
see
so
much
in
so
little
time
,
that
he
had
not
leisure
to
consider
where
he
was
,
or
whether
they
were
Apparitions
or
Realities
.
However
,
he
put
off
his
Hat
with
both
Hands
,
bow'd
to
the
Right
,
and
to
the
Left
;
and
with
a
compos'd
Formality
,
for
many
Complements
that
had
been
bestow'd
upon
him
,
return'd
a
Majestick
and
Brief
I
thank
ye
,
Gentlemen
:
For
Gentlemen
he
thought
'em
to
be
,
and
Persons
of
Quality
;
but
as
for
the
Countenance
,
Actions
,
Accoutrements
,
and
Behaviour
of
Don
Quixote
,
he
knew
not
what
to
imagine
or
conjecture
.
However
,
as
much
Gentlemen
as
he
took
'em
to
be
,
the
Judge
,
who
was
a
Man
of
Experience
,
as
one
that
had
been
Young
in
his
time
,
resolv'd
to
prevent
their
Kissing-Dances
with
his
Niece
;
and
therefore
as
soon
as
he
had
tak'n
his
Chair
at
the
upper
end
of
the
Table
,
he
made
a
Decree
i'
the
first
place
,
that
the
Women
should
keep
together
i'
the
inner
Room
,
after
the
Persian
manner
,
as
being
a
sufficient
number
to
hold
a
Chat
together
,
till
they
dropt
fast
asleep
,
and
tire
the
best
Short-hand
Writer
in
Christendom
:
And
that
the
Men
should
drink
and
confer
Notes
together
i'
the
outer
Chamber
,
as
a
Guard
to
the
Ladies
.
The
separation
being
thus
made
,
the
Glass
had
not
gone
about
many
times
,
before
the
Slave
,
who
had
all
along
kept
his
Eye
fix'd
upon
the
Judges
Face
,
began
to
have
strange
Fancies
and
Imaginations
in
his
Head
,
that
the
Judge
was
his
own
Brother
;
but
being
unwilling
to
trust
his
own
Judgment
,
he
went
forth
,
and
enquir'd
of
one
of
the
Judges
Servants
,
what
was
his
Master's
Name
,
and
what
Country-man
he
was
?
Who
,
instead
of
answering
him
,
ask'd
him
,
where
he
was
born
,
that
he
did
not
know
Doctor
—
the
Famousest
Civilian
in
all
Spain
,
who
had
advanc'd
himself
by
his
Learning
,
as
being
born
but
of
mean
Parentage
among
the
Mountains
of
Leon
.
By
which
Answer
,
the
Captive
was
confirm'd
in
the
truth
of
his
Conjecture
,
that
it
was
his
Brother
indeed
,
and
the
same
that
had
chosen
to
betake
himself
to
his
Studies
.
Thereupon
he
took
Don
Ferdinand
,
Cardenio
,
and
the
Curate
aside
,
and
assur'd
'em
the
Judge
was
his
Brother
;
and
that
he
was
certain
of
it
by
all
the
Circumstances
which
the
Judge's
Servant
had
told
him
:
Moreover
,
that
the
Young
Lady
was
not
his
Niece
,
but
his
Daughter
;
whose
Mother
dy'd
in
Child-bed
,
after
she
had
brought
her
forth
into
the
World
.
Thereupon
he
desir'd
'em
to
advise
him
what
course
he
shou'd
take
to
discover
himself
,
and
whether
it
would
not
be
his
best
way
,
to
try
whether
his
Brother
would
acknowledge
him
or
no
;
in
regard
't
was
the
fashion
of
the
World
to
disown
Poor
Kindred
.
Let
me
alone
,
quo
the
Curate
,
to
try
th'
Experiment
;
my
mind
gives
me
I
shall
ha'
good
luck
,
for
I
remember
I
rose
with
my
Bum
upward
this
Morning
:
Besides
,
by
that
skill
in
Physiognomy
that
I
have
,
I
do
not
find
by
the
Judge's
Face
,
that
he
is
a
Person
of
that
haughty
Humour
,
to
despise
People
in
misfortune
.
Thereupon
,
Supper
being
serv'd
in
,
the
Slave
made
an
Excuse
to
absent
himself
;
and
for
the
Ladies
,
they
Supp'd
i'
their
Turkish
Haram
by
themselves
.
The
Curate
therefore
watching
his
time
,
about
the
middle
of
the
Repast
,
after
several
chirping
Cups
had
gone
round
(
for
many
Judges
will
take
up
their
Cups
pretty
smartly
at
Meals
,
which
causes
'em
as
often
to
sleep
upon
the
Bench
:
)
I
say
,
the
Curate
then
taking
his
Opportunity
,
and
addressing
himself
to
the
Judge
,
who
was
also
at
the
same
time
in
a
pleasant
Humour
;
Sir
,
said
he
,
being
formerly
a
Slave
at
Constantinople
,
I
had
then
a
Companion
in
misfortune
,
that
bare
the
same
Sirname
as
you
do
:
And
I
'le
assure
ye
,
Sir
,
he
was
a
brave
stout
Fellow
,
and
one
of
the
best
Foot
Officers
that
ever
fought
i'
the
Low-Countries
:
But
the
poor
Man
did
not
meet
with
that
good
Fortune
which
his
Courage
deserv'd
.
To
which
the
Judge
,
I
well
know
my
own
Sir-name
,
quo
he
;
but
I
pray
,
what
was
that
Officer's
Christ'n
Name
?
He
had
two
,
reply'd
the
Curate
,
Ap
Shenkin
,
ap
Thomas
,
and
was
born
,
as
he
said
,
among
the
Mountains
of
Leon
,
or
Prittain
,
I
can't
tell
well
which
.
And
I
remember
particularly
that
he
told
me
one
Story
of
himself
,
and
two
other
Brothers
that
he
had
,
how
his
Father
was
given
to
good
Company
,
but
of
such
a
singular
good
Nature
,
that
his
Liberality
purchas'd
him
many
Hangers
on
;
by
which
means
finding
his
Estate
begin
to
waste
,
he
resolv'd
in
time
to
divide
what
he
had
left
among
his
three
Sons
;
giving
'em
withal
,
at
the
same
time
such
proper
Counsel
and
Advice
,
as
shew'd
him
to
be
a
person
that
understood
the
World
.
My
Companion
,
it
seems
,
chose
the
hazardous
Employment
of
a
Souldier
,
and
betook
himself
to
the
Field
,
where
,
by
his
Valour
,
he
advanc'd
himself
to
be
Captain
of
a
Foot-Company
,
and
had
a
fair
Prospect
of
a
Colonel's
Place
,
had
not
Fortune
laid
a
Block
in
his
way
,
at
which
he
stumbl'd
,
and
fell
into
Captivity
,
being
taken
Prisoner
at
that
same
famous
Battle
of
Lepanto
,
where
so
many
Slaves
recover'd
their
Liberty
.
From
Constantinople
,
it
seems
,
he
was
carry'd
to
Argier
,
where
the
strangest
Accident
befell
him
that
ever
was
known
since
the
Creation
.
And
here
the
Curate
took
an
Occasion
succinctly
to
give
the
Judge
an
Account
of
the
whole
Story
of
Zoraida
and
his
Brother
,
till
he
had
brought
'em
to
be
taken
and
plunder'd
of
all
they
had
by
the
French
,
who
had
reduc'd
'em
to
the
lowest
Abyss
of
Misery
and
Poverty
.
To
which
he
added
,
that
since
that
time
he
had
heard
no
News
of
'em
,
and
whether
they
were
arriv'd
in
that
lamentable
Condition
upon
the
Coast
of
Spain
,
or
whether
taken
by
other
Pyrats
,
he
could
give
no
Account
.
To
all
this
the
Judge
listen'd
with
such
an
Attention
,
as
plainly
discover'd
him
to
be
not
a
little
concern'd
;
insomuch
that
when
he
found
the
Curate
had
quite
done
,
the
poor
Gentleman
,
with
the
Tears
standing
in
his
Eyes
,
fetch'd
a
deep
Sigh
.
Ah
,
Sir
,
quo
he
,
you
little
think
what
News
you
have
told
me
,
nor
how
deeply
you
have
pierc'd
me
to
the
Heart
.
That
brave
Souldier
you
speak
of
,
is
,
or
was
my
eldest
Brother
,
who
out
of
a
generous
Ambition
,
chose
to
serve
his
Prince
in
the
Wars
,
which
was
one
of
those
Professions
my
Father
propos'd
to
our
Election
.
For
my
part
,
I
betook
my self
to
the
Law
,
an
advantageous
Study
,
if
a
man
can
but
once
get
the
knack
on
't
,
and
learn
to
comply
with
his
Superiours
.
I
thank
God
,
I
hit
it
so
right
,
that
I
have
advanc'd
my self
to
the
Degree
of
a
Judge
.
As
for
our
younger
Brother
,
he
went
to
the
East-Indies
,
where
he
has
vastly
enrich'd
himself
,
and
so
supply'd
my
Father
with
his
yearly
Presents
,
that
he
is
in
a
much
better
Condition
to
satisfie
his
liberal
Humour
then
ever
he
was
.
The
good
old
Gentleman
is
still
alive
,
and
prays
continually
to
Heaven
to
spare
him
his
Life
,
but
only
till
he
may
have
the
Happiness
to
see
once
more
his
eldest
Son
,
from
whom
he
has
never
heard
,
since
he
last
took
his
leave
.
And
truly
I
wonder
that
so
prudent
a
Man
as
my
Brother
,
should
be
so
long
abroad
,
and
never
find
so
much
leisure
as
to
write
one
single
Line
,
to
let
a
tender
Father
know
what
was
become
of
him
.
Alas
—
had
we
understood
his
Condition
,
he
should
never
ha'
been
beholding
to
a
ridiculous
Story
of
Lela
Marien
,
and
a
miraculous
Reed
for
his
Liberty
.
All
that
I
fear
,
is
this
,
lest
those
cursed
Frenchmen
shou'd
ha'
retaken
him
,
and
flung
him
into
the
Sea
,
to
prevent
his
Discovery
of
their
Villany
.
Poor
and
unfortunate
Soul
!
knew
I
but
where
thou
wer
't
,
thy
Misery
should
soon
be
at
an
end
,
if
all
my
Wealth
could
redeem
thee
from
the
deepest
Dungeon
in
Barbary
.
And
thou
Zoraida
,
no
less
bountiful
then
fair
,
what
Recompence
can
be
sufficient
to
reward
thy
Kindness
to
my
Brother
?
What
would
I
give
to
see
thee
?
Nay
,
what
wou'd
I
not
give
to
make
two
such
unfortunate
Lovers
happy
to
their
Satisfaction
,
after
so
much
Hardship
and
Fellow-suffering
?
All
which
soft
Expressions
dropt
with
such
Tenderness
and
Affection
from
the
Judge's
Lips
,
that
all
who
heard
him
were
deeply
sensible
of
his
fraternal
Pity
.
Thereupon
the
Curate
seeing
his
Design
had
so
well
succeeded
,
resolv'd
to
release
the
compassionate
Judge
from
the
Oppression
of
his
Sorrows
,
and
restore
the
Company
to
their
former
Mirth
.
To
which
purpose
he
rose
from
the
Table
,
and
going
into
the
Lady's
Apartment
,
and
leading
Zoraida
by
the
Hand
,
attended
by
Madam
Doroty
,
Lucinda
,
and
the
Judge's
Daughter
,
brought
her
forth
,
and
presenting
her
to
the
Judge
,
while
the
Captain
stood
incognito
,
to
observe
the
Event
;
Dry
up
your
Tears
,
Sir
,
said
he
,
and
enjoy
your
Wishes
;
see
here
the
lovely
Sister
,
whom
you
have
so
ardently
desir'd
to
see
,
and
there
behold
the
Captain
your
dear
Brother
.
You
see
,
Sir
,
the
miserable
Condition
to
which
the
French
have
reduc'd
'em
;
which
Heaven
perhaps
has
so
brought
to
pass
,
that
you
might
have
an
Opportunity
to
exercise
your
Bounty
.
With
that
,
the
Captain
ran
to
embrace
his
Brother
;
who
having
view'd
him
well
,
and
finding
him
to
be
the
same
person
,
immediately
threw
his
Arms
about
his
Neck
,
while
the
Captain
embrac'd
the
Judge's
Waste
,
and
both
held
each
other
so
closely
enfolded
,
that
the
one
seem'd
to
be
Thistleworth-Steeple
,
and
the
other
the
Ivy
that
grows
about
it
.
And
all
the
while
the
Judge
wept
,
and
the
Captain
wept
,
which
set
the
Company
a
weeping
to
that
Degree
,
that
you
could
see
no
Faces
for
white
Handkerchiefs
;
so
that
had
a
Stranger
enter'd
,
he
would
ha'
sworn
it
had
been
the
House
o'
Mourning
,
or
that
the
World
had
been
at
an
end
with
'
em
.
At
length
the
Judge
let
go
,
and
being
ungrasp'd
by
his
Brother
,
ran
to
embrace
Zoraida
,
promising
her
all
Ignoramus's
Joynture
,
Gownos
,
Silkoatos
,
Kirtellos
,
&
Peticotos
,
for
her
Kindness
to
his
Brother
.
Then
he
embrac'd
the
Captain
again
,
and
then
again
Zoraida
.
To
tell
ye
truth
,
the
good
Gentleman
was
so
over-joy'd
,
that
he
knew
not
which
to
embrace
first
,
nor
which
to
embrace
last
.
Then
Zoraida
embrac'd
the
Judge's
Daughter
,
and
the
Judge's
Daughter
embrac'd
her
:
And
they
two
could
not
chuse
but
have
the
t'other
Bout
at
Weeping
,
to
shew
they
were
of
the
true
Female
Sex
.
And
thus
you
see
that
Tears
are
like
the
Bells
,
which
make
no
Distinction
between
Burials
and
Weddings
.
As
for
Don
Quixote
,
he
lookt
on
all
the
while
very
seriously
and
gravely
,
but
neither
wept
,
nor
spoke
a
Word
,
ascribing
all
these
strange
and
various
Events
to
the
Chimera's
of
Knight-Errantry
.
However
,
he
offer'd
to
watch
the
Castle
,
lest
any
Giant
or
other
boisterous
Hector
of
a
Belianis
of
Greece
,
hearing
what
an
infinite
Treasure
of
Beauty
the
Castle
enclos'd
,
might
have
a
Design
to
surprize
it
.
For
which
,
they
that
knew
him
return'd
him
immediate
Thanks
;
and
for
fear
he
should
think
himself
slighted
by
the
Judge
,
they
gave
the
Judge
a
brief
Account
of
his
Humour
,
and
told
him
aloud
,
for
Don
Quixote
to
hear
,
that
he
was
the
valiant
Knight
of
the
Ill-favour'd
Countenance
,
who
had
promis'd
to
guard
the
Castle
that
Night
,
and
to
give
'em
notice
how
the
Hours
pass'd
,
with
a
Good
morrow
my
Masters
all
,
good
morrow
.
Upon
which
,
the
Judge
could
do
no
less
then
gravely
and
seriously
accost
him
,
and
return
him
Thanks
as
the
rest
had
done
,
for
his
Care
and
Civility
.
Only
Sancho
,
poor
Sancho
in
the
midst
of
all
this
general
Rejoycing
,
stood
fretting
,
and
fuming
,
and
cursing
to
himself
,
to
be
kept
so
long
up
from
his
natural
Rest
;
till
at
length
having
obtain'd
his
Master's
Permission
,
he
betook
himself
to
his
beloved
Pack-saddle
,
and
there
laid
him
down
to
snore
,
with
a
Head
less
troubl'd
then
a
sinking
Banker's
,
you
may
be
sure
;
for
which
he
paid
full
dearly
,
as
you
will
hear
by
the
Sequel
.
For
now
the
Ladies
being
retir'd
to
their
Apartment
,
and
their
Men
having
accommodated
themselves
the
best
they
could
,
Don
Quixote
went
out
of
the
Inn
to
watch
the
Castle
,
according
to
his
Promise
.
And
now
was
all
the
Inn
wrapp'd
up
in
Slumber
,
hush'd
and
quiet
as
the
Temple
of
Silence
;
when
a
little
before
day-break
the
Ladies
were
awaken'd
by
a
well-tun'd
and
most
harmonious
Voice
,
especially
Madam
Dorothy
,
by
whose
side
,
for
want
of
a
more
comfortable
Bedfellow
,
lay
the
fair
Madam
Clara
,
for
so
was
the
Judge's
Daughter
call'd
.
It
was
only
a
single
Voice
,
and
sometimes
they
heard
it
in
the
Court
,
and
sometimes
in
the
Stable
.
By
and
by
came
Cardenio
knocking
softly
at
the
Chamber-door
,
and
perceiving
all
were
not
fast
;
they
that
are
not
asleep
,
said
he
,
let
'em
come
forth
and
hear
a
young
Mule-driver
sing
.
I
profess
,
added
he
,
his
Voice
is
so
delicious
,
that
't
is
enough
to
enchant
your
Ears
.
We
have
heard
him
,
reply'd
Madam
Dorothy
,
with
wonderful
Delight
.
But
then
Cardenio
departing
,
and
the
Voice
beginning
a
second
time
,
Madam
Dorothy
listen'd
with
more
Attention
,
and
distinctly
heard
the
following
words
.
CHAP.

Story
of

in

But
then
a
black
Storm
envelop'd
the
Skies
,
And
away
she
tack'd
with
the
wind
in
her
Poop
,
While
I
unable
to
fetch
her
up
,
Soon
lost
the
sight
of
my
Prize
.
And
ever
since
that
,
my
fortune
unkind
,
I
ha'
sail'd
up
and
down
,
Despairing
to
find
Love's
Haven
so
known
,
nor
his
great
Sea-port
Town
.
III
.
I
lookt
for
a
Star
that
might
ha'
secur'd
me
,
At
least
,
as
I
thought
,
which
the
Poets
assur'd
me
,
Shone
as
bright
as
the
Star
i'
the
Tail
of
the
Bear
;
But
the
hair-brain'd
Poets
talk
idle
,
I
fear
;
For
I
gap'd
i'
the
Skies
For
my
Mistress's
Eyes
,
But
the
Devil
of
any
such
Stars
were
there
.
IV
.
What
's
the
matter
,
quo
I
,
that
thus
I
should
miss
The
general
Mart
o'
the
World
;
Where
all
men
are
burl'd
,
To
Love's
Markets
and
Fairs
With
all
sorts
of
Wares
?
'
Slife
!
let
me
but
meet
this
Frigat
again
,
I
'le
hazard
the
Risco
of
wounded
or
slain
,
But
I
'le
humble
her
Pride
,
And
clap
her
aboard
,
or
sink
by
her
side
.
Here
Madam
Doroty
,
who
till
then
had
let
Madam
Clara
sleep
on
,
after
she
had
wak'd
her
,
Pardon
me
,
Madam
,
said
she
,
for
giving
yee
this
Disturbance
—
which
was
only
that
you
might
have
the
Opportunity
to
hear
the
most
pleasant
Voice
i'
the
World
.
Madam
Clara
rubbing
her
Eyes
,
and
stretching
out
her
Legs
,
as
not
being
fully
come
to
her
Senses
,
did
not
well
apprehend
at
first
what
her
Bedfellow
said
;
so
that
Madam
Doroty
was
forc'd
to
repeat
her
Excuse
over
again
.
But
then
when
Madam
Clara
heard
the
Voice
it self
,
she
fell
into
such
a
strange
trembling
,
as
if
the
unmerciful
Devil
of
a
Quartan
Ague
had
been
rattling
her
tender
Bones
in
a
Temple
In-and-In
Box
.
Ah
,
Madam
!
said
she
,
wherefore
did
ye
wake
me
?
It
had
been
better
for
me
to
ha'
slept
my
last
,
then
have
heard
this
unfortunate
Songster
.
How
,
Madam
!
reply'd
Madam
Doroty
,
what
's
the
matter
?
Why
,
't
is
no
body
but
a
rascally
young
Mule-driver
that
sings
,
let
his
Voice
be
never
so
sweet
.
No
,
no
,
—
answer'd
Mrs.
Clara
,
you
are
mistak'n
,
't
is
a
young
Gentleman
of
a
fair
Estate
,
and
a
Person
of
good
Quality
,
that
comes
not
hither
by
accident
—
To
tell
ye
truth
,
Madam
,
he
's
the
very
Person
that
I
love
above
all
the
Persons
i'
the
World
;
and
if
my
Father
were
dead
,
as
I
wish
to
God
a'
were
,
I
wou'd
marry
him
to
morrow
.
Alas
!
I
ha'
been
lock't
up
,
and
watch'd
,
and
guarded
any
time
this
half
year
,
for
fear
I
should
make
my
escape
out
at
the
Garret-window
to
him
—
but
—
Madam
Doroty
strangely
surpriz'd
to
hear
a
young
Girl
of
her
years
talk
so
feelingly
of
Love
,
and
Marriage
,
and
Garret-windows
;
I
profess
,
Madam
,
quo
she
,
I
do
not
understand
ye
—
pray
explain
your self
—
and
let
us
understand
who
this
unfortunate
Musician
is
—
but
stay
—
He
's
beginning
to
open
his
Pipes
again
—
Pray
let
's
hear
the
words
of
his
Madrigal
,
if
we
can
—
You
shall
answer
me
my
Questions
,
when
he
has
done
.
When
you
please
,
Madam
,
reply'd
Mrs.
Clara
;
and
so
saying
,
she
stopp'd
both
her
Ears
with
her
Fingers
,
and
sunk
down
under
the
Bed
clothes
to
prevent
the
Sound
from
reaching
her
Heart
,
while
Madam
Doroty
listen'd
with
all
imaginable
Attention
to
the
following
Song
.
I.
IN
Chase
of
a
Mistress
I
ramble
,
like
one
That
fain
wou'd
be
doing
as
others
ha'
done
;
Tho
what
luck
I
shall
have
,
or
whether
I
must
Still
follow
by
Water
,
or
choak'd
wi'
the
Dust
,
That
's
more
then
I
know
;
but
this
I
am
sure
,
The
Doctor
spoke
right
,
whoever
spoke
truer
,
That
a
Hair
of
a
Woman
,
with
her
Goldy-love-locks-on
,
Draws
more
then
a
Yoak
of
Somerset-Oxen
.
II
.
Then
Cupid
,
y'
faith
,
for
Age
my
own
Brother
,
Be
kind
,
as
one
Boy
should
be
to
another
;
Thou
seest
me
scarce
wean'd
from
my
sweet
Sugar-sops
,
Yet
wou'd
I
be
dabling
for
better
for
worse
;
Then
feed
not
my
Passion
with
frivolous
Hopes
,
Nor
tire
my
Fancy
with
Patience
per-force
;
For
if
bauk'd
i'
my
Humour
,
at
random
I
run
,
Thy
Godhead's
contemn'd
,
and
I
am
undon
.
III
.
There
is
one
thing
more
I
must
tell
thee
,
dear
Love
,
These
Smithfield
Bargains
I
ne're
could
approve
;
I
like
not
my
Father's
Match-broaking
for
Me
,
As
if
I
cou'd
not
please
my self
better
then
He
.
't
is
Thou
shalt
direct
me
alone
i'
my
Wooing
;
Then
assist
me
,
dear
Love
,
my
own
Humour
pursuing
.
For
abandon'd
by
thee
,
if
at
random
I
run
,
Thy
Godhead's
contemn'd
,
and
I
am
undon
.
So
soon
as
the
sweet
Songster
had
made
an
end
,
Mrs.
Clara
began
her
Complaints
afresh
;
which
redoubling
Madam
Doroty's
Curiosity
,
she
claim'd
the
young
Lady's
Promise
.
At
what
time
Mrs.
Clara
embracing
Madam
Doroty
in
her
Arms
,
and
laying
her
Lips
to
her
Ear
,
lest
Lucinda
should
hear
their
Discourse
;
He
that
sings
,
said
she
,
is
the
Son
of
a
great
Lord
in
our
Country
,
that
liv'd
at
Madrid
over-against
my
Father's
House
.
I
know
not
how
this
young
Gentleman
came
to
see
me
,
unless
it
were
at
Church
(
where
,
you
know
,
our
young
Gentlemen
go
more
to
look
for
Mistresses
,
then
Devotion
)
I
say
,
I
cannot
imagine
where
else
he
should
ha'
seen
me
,
for
our
Windows
were
always
kept
shut
.
However
it
were
,
see
me
he
did
,
and
fell
in
love
with
me
,
and
gave
me
to
understand
as
much
out
at
a
Window
that
lookt
full
upon
ours
;
where
I
could
stand
and
peep
,
and
see
him
cry
for
madness
that
he
cou'd
not
come
at
me
,
that
it
griev'd
my
very
Heart
to
see
him
.
Among
the
rest
of
the
Signs
that
he
made
me
,
he
would
be
shewing
me
a
Hoop-ring
,
and
put
it
upon
his
Thumb
,
and
then
joyn
both
his
Hands
together
,
to
let
me
understand
that
he
would
marry
me
.
I
was
over-joy'd
to
think
I
should
have
a
Husband
;
for
I
was
pretty
ripe
,
and
young
and
simple
tho
I
were
,
I
had
heard
of
Cupid's
Name
:
Besides
,
my
Mother
was
dead
,
and
I
liv'd
all
alone
,
and
me-thought
a
Husband
was
the
only
thing
that
I
wanted
.
But
the
Mischief
was
,
I
could
not
for
my
life
contrive
a
way
to
let
him
know
my
Thoughts
.
So
that
all
the
Favour
I
could
return
him
,
was
only
when
my
Father
was
from
home
,
to
lift
up
the
Lattice
and
shew
my
Face
;
which
put
the
young
Lad
into
such
a
Passion
,
that
he
seem'd
to
be
almost
distracted
.
When
my
Father
was
to
go
out
of
Town
,
I
know
not
how
he
came
to
understand
it
,
for
I
am
sure
I
ne're
cou'd
have
the
Opportunity
to
tell
him
,
as
I
heard
,
he
fell
sick
for
Grief
;
so
that
I
could
not
be
so
happy
as
to
take
my
leave
of
him
,
not
so
much
as
with
my
Eyes
.
But
after
we
had
been
two
days
upon
the
Road
,
as
we
were
entring
into
the
Inn
,
where
we
lay
last
Night
,
I
saw
him
standing
at
the
Inn-Gate
in
the
Habit
of
a
Mule-driver
,
so
perfectly
disguis'd
,
that
had
I
not
always
since
the
first
time
I
say
him
,
carry'd
his
Portraiture
in
my
Heart
,
I
shou'd
never
ha'
known
him
again
.
I
confess
I
was
astonish'd
to
see
him
,
and
yet
I
was
glad
he
was
so
near
me
.
And
he
for
his
part
,
has
his
bugle
Eyes
always
fix'd
upon
me
,
unless
it
be
when
I
am
in
my
Father's
Company
,
from
whom
he
conceals
himself
with
all
the
Care
imaginable
.
And
now
in
this
Condition
I
know
not
what
in
the
world
to
do
;
for
being
so
well
satisfy'd
as
I
am
of
his
Condition
,
and
that
it
is
for
me
that
he
suffers
all
this
Hardship
,
and
travels
thus
a-foot
,
I
am
ready
to
die
for
Sorrow
;
and
where-ever
he
sets
his
Feet
,
there
do
I
fix
my
Eyes
.
I
wonder
i'
my
heart
how
he
stole
from
his
Father
,
who
loves
him
entirely
,
as
being
his
only
Heir
,
and
all
the
Children
he
has
;
and
a
lovely
Youth
to
boot
,
as
you
will
say
when
you
see
him
.
More
then
that
,
all
these
Verses
that
he
sings
he
makes
himself
;
for
he
is
a
most
curious
Poet
,
and
as
I
heard
say
,
he
made
Verses
at
School
before
he
was
twelve
years
old
.
And
therefore
,
Madam
,
I
must
tell
ye
,
that
every
time
I
see
him
,
or
hear
him
sing
,
my
Heart
is
at
my
Mouth
,
an
all
my
Blood
comes
into
my
Face
;
which
makes
me
ready
to
die
,
for
fear
lest
the
crafty
Fox
my
Father
should
come
to
discover
something
.
For
tho
I
never
spoke
to
the
poor
Lad
i'
my
life
,
yet
methinks
I
know
not
how
to
live
without
him
.
And
thus
,
Madam
,
I
have
discover'd
to
ye
a
great
Secret
,
and
as
much
as
I
know
concerning
this
young
Songster
,
who
has
so
delightfully
charm'd
your
Ears
.
Say
no
more
,
cry'd
Mrs.
Doroty
,
't
is
enough
,
Mrs.
Clara
,
never
trouble
your self
,
I
know
better
what
belongs
to
these
Love
jobs
then
you
;
and
if
you
will
but
let
me
alone
,
I
make
no
question
but
to
bring
this
intricate
Business
to
such
a
Conclusion
as
so
fair
and
honest
Beginnings
deserve
.
Alas
,
Madam
!
what
happy
Issue
can
I
expect
,
if
his
Father
be
so
rich
,
and
so
noble
,
as
they
say
he
is
?
For
then
will
he
be
so
far
from
thinking
me
fit
to
be
his
Wife
,
that
he
will
not
deem
me
worthy
to
wipe
his
Shoes
.
How
!
reply'd
Madam
Dorothy
;
as
if
it
were
not
a
common
thing
for
Noble-men
now
a-days
to
marry
Citizens
Daughters
!
and
I
hope
't
is
not
come
to
that
yet
,
for
a
Tradesman's
Daughter
to
hold
up
her
Nose
with
a
Judge's
Daughter
.
That
's
nothing
,
reply'd
Mrs.
Clara
,
for
I
ha'
heard
of
a
Judge's
Daughter
that
has
marry'd
her
Father's
Clark
.
And
therefore
I
had
rather
the
young
Gentleman
would
return
home
again
.
Perhaps
Time
and
long
Absence
(
for
we
are
going
to
settle
far
off
in
another
Province
)
may
at
last
wear
him
out
of
my
Thoughts
;
tho
I
must
confess
I
ha'
but
a
bad
Opinion
of
the
Cure
.
I
wonder
i'
my
Heart
,
what
Match-making
Devil
it
was
that
put
this
amorous
Intrique
into
our
young
Brains
;
for
I
dare
say
,
both
of
us
together
cannot
make
nine
and
twenty
yet
;
he
being
but
sixteen
,
and
I
,
as
my
Father
saies
,
not
full
thirteen
till
next
Bartholomew
Fair
.
At
which
words
,
the
subtile
Madam
Doroty
could
not
forbear
laughing
,
to
hear
one
that
was
so
ready
for
a
Husband
,
talk
so
like
a
Girl
in
her
Sampler
.
Come
,
Madam
,
said
she
,
let
's
sleep
the
rest
of
the
Night
,
to
morrow
I
hope
that
Fortune
,
who
has
so
well
behav'd
her self
hitherto
,
will
make
a
good
end
of
her
own
Comedy
.
Thus
all
was
hush'd
and
quiet
again
i'
the
Inn
,
not
a
Weezle
stirring
;
only
the
Inn-keeper's
Daughter
and
Maritornes
well
acquainted
by
this
time
with
Don
Quixote's
blind
side
,
were
resolv'd
to
play
him
a
Trick
of
Youth
to
make
themselves
Sport
,
while
the
Knight
in
compleat
Armour
,
and
a
Horse-back
was
parading
and
keeping
strict
Watch
about
the
Inn.
You
must
know
then
,
that
in
all
the
House
there
was
no
other
Window
that
lookt
out
into
the
Field
,
but
only
a
hole
i'
the
Wall
to
put
Straw
into
the
Stable
.
Out
of
which
hole
it
was
,
that
the
Inn-keeper's
Daughter
and
Maritornes
perceiv'd
Don
Quixote
leaning
upon
his
Lance
in
a
languishing
Posture
,
and
fetching
such
profound
and
dolorous
Sighs
,
as
if
Death
had
deny'd
him
his
last
Petition
for
Life
.
Fair
Dulcinea
of
Toboso
,
cry'd
he
,
with
an
amorous
and
effeminate
Voice
,
Most
Sovereign
Queen
of
Beauty
,
Perfection
of
Wisdom
and
Discretion
,
Treasury
of
Debonairness
and
Behaviour
,
Vertue's
Exchequer
,
and
Exemplar
of
whatever
is
honest
,
profitable
and
delightful
in
this
World
,
What
is
now
your
Princely
Highness
doing
?
Voutsafes
your
Highness
one
poor
Thought
upon
your
Beauty's
Slave
,
who
thus
exposes
himself
for
your
sake
alone
,
to
so
much
Danger
,
yet
with
so
much
Patience
and
Courage
?
Tell
me
,
Goddess
with
three
Faces
,
tell
me
what
she
thinks
,
and
what
she
does
.
For
my
mind
gives
me
that
thou
beholdest
her
with
Envy
,
walking
in
one
of
the
sumptuous
Galleries
of
her
magnificent
Palace
,
or
leaning
over
some
gilded
Balcony
,
meditating
some
happy
means
to
send
Comfort
to
my
Mind
,
to
calm
the
restless
Disturbances
of
my
Thoughts
,
and
to
restore
Repose
and
Tranquility
to
my
Soul
;
how
she
may
recal
me
from
a
rigorous
Death
,
to
a
Life
full
of
Felicity
;
and
without
engaging
her
Honour
,
recompence
my
Services
.
And
thou
Sun
,
who
questionless
dost
hast'n
thy
Course
,
not
so
much
to
restore
Day
to
Mortals
,
as
to
behold
that
Master-piece
of
Miracles
,
salute
her
in
my
behalf
so
soon
as
thou
seest
her
.
But
forbear
by
any
means
to
kiss
her
Lips
,
when
thou
mak'st
thy
Approaches
to
her
Person
,
for
she
's
reserv'd
and
modest
beyond
Imagination
;
and
to
be
refus'd
a
Kiss
,
would
be
a
greater
Disgrace
to
thee
,
then
the
Affront
which
that
same
wanton
and
ingrateful
Hussie
put
upon
thee
,
when
she
made
thee
sweat
in
running
after
her
o're
the
Plains
of
Thessaly
,
or
along
the
Banks
of
Peneus
,
for
I
ha'
forgot
which
of
the
Places
it
was
.
In
these
and
such
like
eloquent
Raptures
was
Don
Quixote
pleasing
and
carressing
his
vain
Fancy
,
when
he
was
interrupted
by
the
Inn-keeper's
Daughter
,
who
beckoning
to
him
with
her
hand
,
and
calling
him
with
a
low
Voice
;
Come
hither
,
I
beseech
ye
,
cry'd
she
,
quickly
,
quickly
,
Sir
Knight
.
Upon
that
the
amorous
Knight
turn'd
his
head
,
and
perceiving
by
the
light
of
the
Moon
,
that
some
body
call'd
to
him
from
the
hole
i'
the
Cockloft
,
which
he
took
,
at
least
,
for
a
Window
with
golden
Bars
,
such
as
belong'd
to
all
those
Castles
that
his
fond
Imagination
had
built
i'
the
Air
,
he
began
as
idly
to
conceive
,
that
this
could
be
no
other
then
the
Lord
o'
the
Castle's
Daughter
,
who
altogether
charm'd
,
and
desperately
in
love
with
his
merit
,
importun'd
him
to
appease
the
Torment
of
her
Passion
.
And
with
these
Conundrums
in
his
Pate
,
unwilling
to
shew
himself
a
Clown
,
he
approach'd
the
Hay-loft
,
where
beholding
two
young
Damsels
;
Most
beautiful
Lady
,
quo
he
,
believe
the
truest
Knight
that
ever
kiss'd
the
Hand
of
the
fairest
Virgin
,
if
my
Bowels
do
not
yern
within
me
to
find
your
amorous
Passion
so
unhappily
misplac'd
.
But
do
not
blame
a
miserable
Knight-Errant
,
who
is
not
Master
of
his
own
Will
,
whom
Love
has
enthral'd
ever
since
that
very
Moment
that
another
became
the
absolute
Mistress
of
his
Soul
.
Pardon
me
,
Madam
,
I
say
,
a
Crime
that
I
am
no
way
guilty
of
;
return
,
I
beseech
ye
,
to
your
Chamber
,
and
do
not
heap
Ingratitude
upon
me
by
the
Accumulation
of
your
Favours
.
But
if
in
any
other
thing
then
Love
I
may
repay
your
Kindness
,
demand
it
boldly
;
for
by
the
Lovely
Eyes
of
that
sweet
Enemy
of
mine
,
whose
Slave
I
am
,
I
swear
,
if
you
require
it
,
I
will
immediately
prostrate
at
your
Feet
a
thousand
Giants
Heads
,
the
snaky
Curls
of
terrible
Medasa's
hairy
Scalp
,
the
Golden
Fleece
,
nay
,
the
very
Beams
of
the
Sun
himself
.
My
Mistress
has
no
need
of
any
of
these
Toys
,
Sir
Knight
,
reply'd
Maritornes
.
What
are
then
your
Lady's
Wants
,
most
prudent
Governante
,
reply'd
Don
Quixote
?
Only
lend
me
one
of
your
fair
Hands
,
answer'd
Maritornes
,
to
asswage
in
some
measure
her
violent
Ardour
that
brought
her
to
this
Window
,
so
much
to
the
hazard
of
her
Life
,
that
if
her
Father
should
but
know
it
,
he
would
shread
her
as
small
as
minc'd
Meat
;
or
if
not
so
,
I'
m
sure
the
biggest
Bit
of
her
would
be
but
her
Ear
.
How
!
reply'd
Don
Quixote
,
I
'd
fain
see
that
Son
of
a
Whore
Father
,
that
durst
be
so
insolent
as
to
touch
the
soft
and
tender
Members
of
his
enamour'd
Daughter
,
his
last
end
should
be
a
most
dreadful
Example
to
all
Fathers
how
they
interrupted
their
Daughters
Caterwawling
.
Maritornes
,
who
made
no
question
but
that
Don
Quixote
,
after
the
Oath
he
had
so
solemnly
sworn
,
would
give
her
his
Sword-grasping
Hand
,
reach'd
out
the
Halter
of
Sancho's
Ass
;
at
what
time
the
courteous
Don
Quixote
raising
himself
upon
his
Stirrups
,
and
stretching
forth
his
naked
four
Fingers
and
Thumb
,
with
the
wrinkl'd
Back
and
Paume
thereto
belonging
;
There
,
Madam
,
said
he
,
behold
the
Hand
which
you
require
,
or
rather
,
that
Flail
to
thrash
those
Oppressors
that
trouble
the
Earth
.
That
Hand
,
I
say
,
which
never
Lady
had
yet
the
Honour
to
touch
,
no
not
she
who
has
the
sole
disposal
both
of
my
Body
and
Soul
.
Not
that
I
give
it
ye
to
kiss
,
but
to
admire
the
Contexture
of
the
Nerves
,
the
knitting
of
these
Muscles
,
the
swelling
and
capaciousness
of
these
Veins
;
and
that
you
may
judge
of
the
Strength
of
the
Arm
that
has
such
a
Hand
at
the
end
of
it
.
We
shall
see
that
presently
,
reply'd
Maritornes
;
and
so
having
made
a
sliding
Knot
at
one
end
of
the
Halter
,
she
fasten'd
it
about
Don
Quixote's
Wrist
,
and
ty'd
the
other
end
to
the
Bolt
of
the
Door
of
the
Hay-loft
,
with
all
the
Strength
and
Skill
she
had
.
Presently
Don
Quixote
perceiving
the
Halter
begin
to
pinch
and
gird
his
Wrist
,
By
the
Mass
,
Lady
,
quo
he
,
I
don't
like
your
Bracelets
;
you
talk
of
kissing
may
Hand
,
and
I
think
you
intend
to
rend
it
from
my
Wrist-bone
.
Spare
it
,
I
beseech
ye
,
Madam
,
for
I
assure
ye
,
't
is
no
way
guilty
of
the
Torment
which
I
cause
ye
to
suffer
;
there
is
no
reason
you
should
revenge
your self
upon
an
innocent
Member
.
Alas
!
Madam
,
't
is
none
of
my
Hand's
Fault
,
that
your
Heart
is
so
tormented
for
love
of
me
—
If
you
will
be
playing
Love-tricks
,
play
Love-tricks
—
This
is
Horse-play
,
Madam
;
by
my
faith
,
I
don't
like
it
—
and
therefore
if
I
must
be
your
Slave
,
I
beseech
ye
,
bind
me
in
another
Fashion
.
But
these
Excuses
,
these
Complements
,
these
Expostulations
signify'd
nothing
;
the
unfortunate
Invincible
pleaded
all
this
while
to
the
Wind
;
for
the
two
Ladies
that
had
hamper'd
him
,
not
in
the
Fetters
of
Love
,
but
with
his
own
Squire's
Ass's
Halter
,
were
gone
to
make
wanton
Comments
by
themselves
upon
the
unlucky
Prank
they
had
play'd
.
All
this
while
the
poor
Knight
stood
upright
in
his
Stirups
,
with
his
Arm
i'
the
hole
,
and
fast
bound
by
the
Wrist
,
in
a
Pannick
Fear
,
lest
Rosinante
should
take
a
frisk
from
under
him
,
and
leave
him
to
suffer
a
new
Torment
,
which
the
Ten
Persecutions
never
dreamt
of
.
So
that
he
durst
not
move
either
to
the
right
or
left
,
for
fear
of
disturbing
his
Steed
,
whose
Patience
he
knew
was
such
,
that
of
himself
,
without
being
switch'd
or
Spur-gall'd
,
he
would
stand
i'
the
same
Posture
a
whole
Age
together
.
Therefore
after
he
had
continu'd
in
this
Affliction
for
some
time
,
perceiving
the
Ladies
were
vanish'd
,
he
began
to
think
it
was
some
piece
of
Enchantment
,
such
as
befell
him
,
when
the
enchanted
Moor
had
almost
pounded
him
into
Almond
Butter
i'
the
same
Castle
;
and
then
he
curs'd
his
own
imprudent
Noddle
,
that
had
expos'd
him
a
second
time
to
the
same
Snare
of
Sorcery
and
Witchcraft
.
Nevertheless
,
he
tugg'd
,
and
hawll'd
,
and
pull'd
with
all
the
Strength
of
his
Man-slaying
Arm
;
but
the
more
he
pull'd
,
the
faster
he
found
the
Knot
,
and
his
Flesh
the
harder
grip'd
.
So
that
the
poor
Knight
was
forc'd
to
stand
a
Tip-toe
in
his
Stirrups
,
not
being
able
to
seat
himself
in
his
Saddle
,
unless
he
should
have
made
an
absolute
Divorce
between
his
Hand
and
his
Arm
,
that
Nature
had
joyn'd
together
.
How
many
times
in
this
Condition
,
did
he
wish
for
that
miraculous
Sword
of
Amadis
,
which
cut
in
sunder
all
the
Knots
of
Enchantment
,
as
you
would
cut
a
Pack-thread
with
a
Pen-knife
?
How
many
times
did
he
bewhore
and
bejade
Fortune
,
for
depriving
the
Earth
of
the
Succour
of
his
wrong-revenging
Arm
,
when
the
World
had
such
emergent
Occasions
of
his
Assistance
?
How
many
times
did
he
invoke
his
dear
Dulcinea
del
Toboso
?
How
many
times
did
he
call
for
his
faithful
Squire
,
who
lying
at
his
Ease
upon
the
Pack-saddle
of
his
Ass
,
and
drown'd
in
sweet
Sleep
,
had
now
forgot
there
was
ever
any
such
a
Man
as
his
Master
in
the
number
of
Mortals
?
How
many
times
did
he
implore
the
Aid
of
the
two
Necromancers
,
Lirgand
and
Alquiff
,
and
call
upon
his
dear
Friend
Urganda
the
Sorceress
?
At
length
Madam
Aurora
,
and
the
Tel-tale
Sun
discover'd
him
too
,
hanging
by
one
Arm
,
like
a
great
Calf
by
one
Leg
in
a
Slaughter-house
,
which
put
him
into
such
a
strange
Confusion
,
that
he
fell
a
roaring
like
two
Bulls
fighting
for
a
Cow
in
a
Meadow
,
and
he
was
so
absolutely
convinc'd
of
his
being
enchanted
,
seeing
Rosinante
stand
so
immoveable
,
as
if
his
Hoofs
had
been
pegg'd
to
the
Ground
,
that
he
gave
over
questioning
,
but
that
he
and
his
honest
Horse
were
to
stand
there
in
that
Posture
for
some
Ages
together
,
without
eating
,
drinking
,
or
sleeping
,
till
reliev'd
by
some
compassionate
Necromancer
.
At
the
same
time
four
Horse-men
well
arm'd
,
and
in
good
Equipage
,
rapp'd
at
the
Inn-Gate
,
as
if
they
were
in
haste
to
be
let
in
;
which
Don
Quixote
observing
,
that
he
might
not
be
wanting
however
in
the
Duty
of
a
faithful
Sentinel
;
Knights
,
or
Squires
,
or
whatever
ye
are
,
said
he
,
forbear
knocking
at
the
Castle-Gate
.
Had
ye
either
common
Sense
or
Manners
,
you
might
easily
perceive
by
the
stilness
within
,
that
the
Constable
and
his
Servants
are
fast
i'
their
Beds
;
and
as
y'
are
Knights
,
might
know
,
't
is
not
the
Custom
for
Castle-Gates
to
be
open'd
before
Sun-rise
.
Pray
stay
therefore
,
as
ye
ought
,
till
the
Sun
be
up
,
and
then
we
shall
see
whether
it
be
safe
or
no
for
the
Gates
to
give
ye
Entrance
;
and
this
he
utter'd
so
surlily
,
and
so
tartly
,
as
if
he
had
fed
upon
Tewksbury
Mustard
all
Night
.
I'
the
Devil's
Name
,
cry'd
one
of
the
Horse
men
,
what
Fort
or
Castle
is
here
,
that
should
oblige
us
to
all
these
Ceremonies
?
And
therefore
if
thou
art
the
Inn-keeper
,
prethee
open
the
Gates
,
for
we
are
in
haste
to
bait
our
Horses
and
be
gone
.
Dogs
of
Knights
,
quo
Don
Quixote
,
do
I
look
like
an
Inn-keeper
?
I
know
not
who
thou
look'st
like
,
cry'd
another
,
but
I'
m
sure
th'
art
out
o'
thy
Wits
,
to
call
this
a
Castle
.
I
say
,
't
is
a
Castle
,
reply'd
Don
Quixote
,
and
one
of
the
best
i'
the
Province
;
and
there
are
Persons
within
,
whose
Scepter'd
Hands
and
Crowned
Heads
I
stand
to
guard
.
I
'le
warrant
ye
,
Mr.
Scare-crow
,
cry'd
another
of
the
Horse-men
,
some
paltry
Gang
of
strolling
Players
,
that
sometimes
lewdly
act
the
Parts
of
Kings
and
Emperors
;
and
you
,
like
a
Clout
in
a
Cherry
tree
,
stand
to
watch
their
lousie
Tinsel
!
—
Else
I
can't
imagine
what
Crowned
Heads
should
be
lodg'd
with
so
little
none
about
'em
,
in
such
a
Hovel
of
an
Inn
as
this
.
I
perceive
,
quo
Don
Quixote
,
y'
are
all
a
Company
of
Buffleheads
as
to
the
Affairs
o'
the
World
,
that
understand
so
little
the
Miracles
of
Chivalry
.
To
that
the
Horse-men
made
no
farther
Answer
,
but
being
tir'd
with
such
a
sort
of
Bedlam
Gibbrish
,
fell
a
bounding
and
thundring
at
the
Inn-Gate
with
such
a
Fury
,
that
they
awaken'd
the
whole
House
,
and
fetch'd
the
Inn-keeper
out
of
his
Straw
to
open
the
Gates
himself
.
But
in
the
mean
time
it
so
fell
out
,
that
one
of
the
Horse-men's
Beasts
,
which
happen'd
to
be
a
Mare
,
smelling
Rosinante
,
who
,
poor
melancholy
Creature
,
stood
as
quietly
as
a
Lamb
,
supporting
his
Master
stretch'd
out
at
his
full
length
;
as
if
he
had
been
reaching
at
a
Hen
roost
,
made
toward
him
with
an
amorous
Behaviour
.
On
the
other
side
Rosinante
,
Flesh
and
Blood
like
other
Horses
,
could
not
forbear
to
meet
the
Caresses
of
so
loving
a
Mistress
,
which
caus'd
him
to
turn
soberly
about
to
shew
his
Breeding
.
At
what
time
Don
Quixote
having
lost
his
footing
,
had
fall'n
like
a
Pig
of
Lead
to
the
ground
,
had
he
not
hung
by
the
Wrist
,
like
a
Westphalia
Ham
in
an
Oyl-man's
Shop
.
't
was
an
unmerciful
Twitch
,
you
may
be
sure
,
that
the
whole
weight
of
so
much
Flesh
and
Bones
,
enclos'd
in
so
much
Iron
,
gave
to
one
small
Member
,
and
the
Pain
no
less
tormenting
,
while
the
Sinews
were
ready
to
crack
:
Which
Don
Quixote
augmented
by
stretching
out
his
Legs
to
feel
for
the
Ground
with
his
Toes
,
which
put
him
still
more
upon
the
Rack
,
out
of
a
vain
Hope
to
give
himself
Relief
.
CHAP.
XVII
.
Being
a
Continuation
of
unheard-of
Adventures
.
THE
dreadful
Bellowing
and
Out-cries
which
Don
Quixote
made
in
this
unsupportable
Martyrdom
were
such
,
that
the
Inn-keeper
scar'd
almost
out
of
his
Wits
,
open'd
the
Gate
,
and
accompany'd
by
the
Horse-men
,
repair'd
toward
the
Noise
,
to
see
what
was
the
Matter
.
In
the
mean
time
Maritornes
,
waken'd
at
the
same
instant
by
the
Knight's
howling
,
and
easily
divining
the
Occasion
,
steals
into
the
Hay-loft
,
and
having
dissolv'd
the
Inchantment
,
by
untying
the
Halter
,
gave
the
distressed
Warrior
his
Liberty
;
who
being
releas'd
,
presently
fell
to
the
Ground
like
a
Stone
,
in
the
sight
of
the
Horse-men
and
the
Inn-keeper
,
who
were
all
very
inquisitive
to
know
the
Cause
of
his
roaring
so
hideously
,
as
if
all
the
Winds
in
Lapland
had
been
pent
up
in
his
Guts
.
But
so
far
was
he
from
giving
an
Answer
,
that
being
got
upon
his
Legs
,
up
he
whipt
upon
Rosinante
,
shoulder'd
his
Buckler
,
couch'd
his
Lance
,
and
trotting
a
little
way
up
the
Field
to
take
his
Career
,
returns
upon
a
full
speed
,
as
if
the
Devil
had
drove
him
,
crying
out
,
Whoever
dares
maintain
,
that
I
ha'
been
deservedly
enchanted
,
lyes
from
his
Throat
to
the
bottom
of
his
Guts
,
and
I
defy
him
for
the
Son
of
ten
thousand
Whores
;
and
if
the
Princess
of
Micomicona
will
give
me
leave
,
I
challenge
him
to
single
Battel
.
The
Travellers
were
strangely
surpriz'd
at
Don
Quixote's
Fury
,
but
being
inform'd
of
his
Humour
,
they
took
no
farther
notice
of
him
;
only
ask'd
the
Inn-keeper
,
if
there
were
not
in
his
House
a
young
Gentleman
of
about
fifteen
years
of
Age
,
clad
like
a
Mule-driver
,
giving
him
all
the
Marks
of
the
Youth
that
was
up
to
the
hard
Eyes
in
love
with
Madam
Clara
.
Truly
,
reply'd
the
Inn-keeper
,
there
are
such
a
Number
of
People
of
all
sorts
i'
the
house
at
this
present
,
that
I
never
went
about
to
take
particular
Cognizance
of
any
single
Person
.
Presently
one
of
the
Horse-men
espying
the
Judge's
Coachman
,
cry'd
out
,
he
must
be
here
without
question
,
for
that
's
the
very
Coachman
that
drove
the
Coach
which
he
is
said
to
ha'
follow'd
.
Let
one
of
us
,
added
he
,
stand
at
the
Inn-Gate
,
while
the
rest
search
about
the
House
;
and
it
wou'd
not
be
amiss
,
that
some
body
should
keep
riding
about
the
Inn
to
prevent
his
Escape
over
the
Walls
.
All
which
the
Inn-keeper
observ'd
,
but
could
not
imagine
the
Reason
of
so
much
extraordinary
Circumspection
,
only
thought
't
was
to
find
out
the
Lad
,
of
whom
they
had
given
him
such
a
punctual
Description
before
.
By
this
time
the
Sun
was
mounted
high
i'
the
Sky
,
and
the
noise
which
Don
Quixote
made
,
had
awaken'd
all
the
House
;
so
that
every
body
began
to
think
of
getting
up
,
especially
Madam
Doroty
and
Mrs.
Clara
,
who
could
neither
of
'em
sleep
;
the
one
to
think
her
Inamorato
should
be
so
near
her
,
and
the
other
,
out
of
an
eager
Curiosity
to
see
what
sort
of
Demi-Cherubim
he
was
.
In
the
mean
time
,
Don
Quixote
perceiving
the
Travellers
took
no
Cognizance
of
his
Challenge
,
and
that
not
one
of
'em
vouchsaf'd
so
much
as
to
think
him
worth
a
Look
,
breath'd
nothing
but
Rage
and
Indignation
;
and
but
that
he
was
afraid
to
transgress
the
sacred
Laws
of
Chivalry
,
after
he
had
pass'd
his
word
,
had
certainly
attack'd
'em
all
four
together
,
and
made
'em
know
their
Driver
.
But
in
regard
he
could
not
attempt
any
Enterprize
,
till
he
had
restor'd
the
Princess
of
Micomicona
to
her
Throne
,
he
muster'd
up
all
his
Patience
,
and
prevail'd
upon
his
Passion
to
spare
the
Travellers
for
that
time
.
Of
whom
,
one
of
the
Number
having
by
this
,
found
the
young
Person
they
sought
for
,
sleeping
securely
by
the
side
of
a
Mule-driver
,
after
he
had
wak'd
him
by
pulling
him
strongly
by
the
Arm
;
In
good
truth
,
Mr.
Lewis
,
said
he
,
I
ha'
found
ye
in
an
Equipage
very
much
befitting
a
Person
of
your
Quality
,
and
this
Bed
is
monstrously
sutable
to
the
softness
wherein
you
have
been
brought
up
.
The
young
Lad
,
not
yet
fully
come
to
himself
,
began
to
rub
his
drowsie
Eyes
,
and
looking
wistly
upon
the
Person
that
held
him
by
the
Arm
,
knew
him
at
length
to
be
one
of
his
Father's
Servants
;
which
put
him
into
such
a
Consternation
,
that
he
lay
for
a
long
time
like
one
that
had
lost
the
use
of
his
Tongue
.
Mr.
Lewis
,
Mr.
Lewis
,
continu'd
the
Servant
,
if
it
be
a
Love
ramble
that
y'
are
now
upon
,
your
best
way
will
be
to
give
over
your
Chase
at
present
,
and
return
home
with
us
,
unless
you
have
a
Design
to
hast'n
your
Father
into
the
other
World
;
for
nothing
else
can
be
expected
from
the
pining
Anguish
which
he
suffers
by
reason
of
your
unadvised
Absence
.
This
I
shall
also
add
,
that
you
are
safe
from
the
Doctor's
Anger
,
and
the
Birchen-Lashes
of
his
Fury
;
for
your
Father
believing
you
were
fled
from
his
Paedagogical
Tyranny
,
has
vow'd
never
to
send
ye
to
that
House
of
Correction
any
more
.
Hartlikins
,
quo
Mr.
Lewis
,
how
came
my
Father
to
know
which
way
I
was
gone
,
or
that
I
was
thus
disguis'd
?
Why
,
Sir
,
one
of
your
School-fellows
that
you
had
made
privy
to
your
Design
,
was
he
that
made
the
Discovery
,
seeing
your
Father
in
such
a
deplorable
Toss
for
want
of
your
Company
.
Thereupon
he
sent
my self
,
and
three
more
of
his
Gnetlemen
after
your
Lordship
;
and
now
how
glad
are
we
to
be
the
Instruments
of
restoring
ye
so
soon
as
we
hope
we
shall
,
to
the
Embraces
of
a
tender
Father
,
who
certainly
cannot
but
give
us
Annuities
for
our
lives
,
for
the
Dispatch
we
ha'
made
,
and
the
Comfort
we
shall
bring
him
in
his
old
Age
.
But
still
I
hope
't
is
at
my
Choice
whether
I
'le
go
along
with
ye
,
or
no
,
reply'd
young
Don
Lewis
.
Why
sure
,
Sir
,
reply'd
the
Servant
,
I
hope
the
Devil
has
not
bewitch'd
ye
to
follow
this
Course
of
life
;
neither
can
I
think
you
can
be
so
ungracious
toward
my
Lord
your
Father
—
All
this
Discourse
the
Mule-driver
that
lay
i'
the
Straw
by
Don
Lewis
,
attentively
heard
,
and
gave
notice
of
it
to
D.
Ferdinand
and
the
rest
,
who
were
by
this
time
up
and
harness'd
,
telling
'em
how
the
Servant
call'd
the
young
Lad
,
my
Lord
;
and
how
they
intended
to
carry
him
back
to
his
Father
,
in
spite
of
his
Teeth
.
Which
Information
of
the
Mule-driver
,
together
with
the
delicate
Voice
,
which
it
was
reported
he
had
,
made
'em
all
earnestly
desirous
to
know
who
he
was
,
with
a
Resolution
to
assist
him
,
if
any
Violence
should
be
offer'd
him
.
And
with
these
Thoughts
they
went
to
the
Stable
,
where
they
found
the
young
Lad
and
the
Servant
in
a
hot
Dispute
together
.
At
the
same
time
Madam
Doroty
whips
out
of
her
Chamber
,
and
meeting
Cardenio
,
told
him
in
few
words
what
she
knew
concerning
Mrs.
Clara
and
the
young
Songster
;
and
he
on
the
other
side
,
recounted
to
Madam
Doroty
what
had
pass'd
between
Don
Lewis
and
his
Father's
Servants
;
which
he
could
not
do
so
privately
,
but
that
Mrs.
Clara
,
who
,
with
itching
Ears
,
follow'd
Mrs.
Doroty
close
at
the
Heels
,
over-heard
him
;
which
was
such
an
unwelcome
Breakfast
to
her
empty
Stomach
,
that
had
not
Madam
Doroty
ran
with
all
imaginable
haste
to
support
her
,
she
had
fall'n
to
the
Ground
;
but
as
good
luck
would
have
it
,
she
got
to
her
in
Pudding-time
,
and
carry'd
her
back
to
her
Chamber
,
whither
Cardenio
desir'd
the
fainting
Lady
to
return
,
with
a
Promise
to
bring
all
things
to
rights
in
a
short
time
.
And
now
the
four
Servants
were
all
got
about
Don
Lewis
,
perswading
him
to
return
home
forthwith
,
not
allowing
him
time
so
much
as
to
wash
his
Hands
and
comb
his
Head
.
Soft
and
fair
,
quo
Don
Lewis
,
my
Mother
stay'd
for
me
before
she
had
me
,
and
my
Father
is
like
to
stay
for
me
too
,
till
I
have
dispatch'd
a
Business
that
concerns
my
Life
,
my
Honour
,
and
my
Soul
.
Upon
which
,
the
Yeoman
of
the
Bottles
,
and
the
rest
of
his
Gang
,
let
fall
such
words
,
whereby
Don
Lewis
might
easily
understand
they
were
resolv'd
to
carry
him
home
like
a
Cloak-bag
,
or
a
Calf
before
a
Butcher
,
if
he
would
not
be
conformable
.
That
you
may
do
,
cry'd
D.
Lewis
when
I
am
dead
,
for
then
I
may
be
Stuffing
proper
enough
for
a
Leathern
mail
.
Thus
the
Dispute
growing
hot
o'
both
sides
,
all
the
Men
that
were
in
the
Inn
,
ran
out
to
see
what
was
the
matter
,
Cardenio
,
D.
Ferdinand
,
and
his
Friends
,
the
Judge
,
the
Curate
,
the
Barber
,
and
Don
Quixote
also
,
who
seeing
all
that
Company
,
thought
the
Castle
wanted
no
more
guarding
.
Presently
Cardenio
,
who
understood
the
Story
of
D.
Lewis
better
then
the
rest
,
demanded
of
his
Father's
Servants
,
Wherefore
they
went
about
to
carry
the
young
Gentleman
away
against
his
Will
?
The
Reason
is
,
cry'd
they
,
that
we
may
restore
the
old
Gentleman
his
Father
to
his
Wits
,
who
is
ready
to
run
mad
for
his
Absence
.
That
's
nothing
to
you
,
reply'd
D.
Lewis
,
whether
my
Father
run
mad
or
no
;
I
will
return
when
I
think
good
my self
:
and
if
I
am
not
minded
so
to
do
,
all
that
you
can
do
shall
never
force
me
.
Pray
,
Sir
,
then
let
Reason
over-rule
ye
,
cry'd
one
of
the
Servants
;
but
if
it
won't
prevail
with
you
,
we
must
endeavour
to
do
our
Duties
.
Upon
which
,
the
Judge
interposing
,
Pray
,
Gentlemen
,
said
he
,
let
's
understand
the
bottom
of
this
business
.
Immediately
one
of
the
Servants
knowing
the
Judge
by
his
Face
,
after
he
had
made
him
a
reverend
Bow
,
Does
not
your
Lordship
know
,
said
he
,
this
young
Springal
,
whose
Father
liv'd
so
long
over-against
your
House
?
and
yet
indeed
,
my
Lord
,
it
is
no
wonder
at
present
,
considering
how
featly
the
young
Gentleman
has
bedizon'd
himself
.
Upon
which
words
,
the
Judge
looking
wistly
in
his
Face
,
and
calling
him
to
mind
;
Good
God
,
said
he
,
my
Lord
D.
Lewis
!
embracing
him
in
his
Arms
,
What
childish
Whimsies
are
these
?
What
Affair
of
Life
and
Death
,
as
if
pursu'd
by
a
Messenger
,
has
clouded
ye
in
this
Disguise
so
much
beneath
your
Quality
?
But
then
perceiving
the
Tears
run
down
his
youthful
Cheeks
,
and
that
he
made
him
no
Answer
,
he
desir'd
the
Company
to
stay
a
little
,
while
he
took
him
into
a
little
private
Examination
.
Now
while
the
Judge
was
thus
discoursing
,
and
laying
the
Law
to
D.
Lewis
,
there
happen'd
a
great
Hurly-burly
at
the
Inn-Gate
;
for
it
seems
that
two
Men
,
who
had
lay'n
i'
the
Inn
that
Night
,
finding
the
People
of
the
House
were
all
busie
,
wou'd
fain
ha'
stol'n
away
without
paying
their
Reckoning
;
but
the
Inn-keeper
more
mindful
of
his
Bar
,
then
of
Love-stories
,
stopp'd
'em
at
the
Gate
;
and
being
in
a
Passion
,
demanded
his
Money
with
so
much
Choler
and
foul
Language
,
that
the
two
Men
began
to
return
him
Score
for
his
Scores
,
and
to
pay
him
in
hard
Blows
,
which
they
laid
on
so
thick
,
that
the
Inn-keeper
was
forc'd
to
cry
out
for
help
.
Presently
the
Hostess
and
her
Daughter
ran
to
his
Assistance
;
but
not
able
to
do
any
good
,
the
Daughter
perceiving
Don
Quixote
walking
about
,
as
one
that
had
least
to
do
i'
the
Company
,
ran
speedily
to
him
,
and
pulling
him
by
the
Arm
,
Sir
,
said
she
,
I
beseech
ye
,
now
shew
that
invincible
Power
that
Heaven
has
bestow'd
upon
ye
,
and
help
my
poor
Father
yonder
in
distress
,
and
ready
to
be
murder'd
by
two
monstrous
Giants
.
Fair
Lady
,
answer'd
Don
Quixote
,
with
a
flegmatick
Gravity
,
and
a
most
surly
Grace
,
you
must
excuse
me
,
for
indeed
my
word
is
past
,
and
I
dare
not
engage
in
any
Quarrel
,
till
I
have
finish'd
an
Adventure
which
I
have
promis'd
to
undertake
.
All
the
Service
I
can
do
your
Ladyship
at
present
,
is
only
to
give
your
Father
good
Counsel
.
Go
then
to
the
Constable
of
the
Castle
,
and
bid
him
maintain
the
Combat
to
his
best
Advantage
,
so
as
not
to
be
vanquish'd
;
either
by
fighting
on
,
or
running
away
,
as
shall
be
most
for
his
Convenience
.
In
the
mean
time
I
will
wait
upon
the
Princess
of
Micomicon
,
for
leave
to
assist
him
;
which
if
I
obtain
,
as
I
make
no
question
but
to
do
,
you
shall
see
me
deliver
him
safe
out
of
his
Enemies
hands
either
dead
or
alive
.
Wo
is
me
a
Sinner
,
cry'd
Maritornes
!
before
you
can
get
leave
of
the
Princess
,
my
Master
will
be
in
another
World
.
Pray
Ladies
,
answer'd
he
,
be
but
so
kind
as
to
suffer
me
to
ask
that
leave
,
which
is
so
necessary
for
me
to
obtain
.
For
then
,
what
tho
the
Constable
of
the
Castle
should
be
i'
the
other
World
?
I
'le
fetch
him
thence
with
a
Wannion
in
spite
of
all
the
Devils
in
Hell
;
or
at
least
I
'le
revenge
him
so
dismally
upon
his
Enemies
,
that
I
'le
send
'em
all
to
a
worse
Place
.
And
so
saying
,
he
went
and
threw
himself
at
Madam
Doroty's
Knees
,
and
in
the
most
exquisite
Terms
that
the
Romantick
Raptures
of
Knight-Errantry
could
express
,
most
humbly
besought
her
to
release
him
a
minute
or
two
from
the
Chains
of
her
Service
,
that
he
might
but
only
go
and
rescue
the
Constable
of
the
Castle
from
the
Saracen-Jaws
of
two
inhuman
Giants
that
were
ready
to
devour
him
.
To
which
the
Princess
having
most
graciously
condescended
,
the
Knight
grasping
his
keen
Kil-zadog
,
and
covering
his
left-Shoulder
with
his
Buckler
,
flew
like
lightning
to
the
Gate
of
the
Castle
,
where
the
two
Butchers
were
belabouring
the
Constable
,
like
two
Fellows
dusting
an
old
Piece
of
Arras
.
But
no
sooner
did
he
behold
the
two
Combatants
,
but
of
a
sudden
he
stopp'd
short
,
like
a
Setting-dog
upon
the
Scent
of
a
Covey
,
and
stood
as
stock-still
,
as
if
his
Feet
had
been
enchanted
to
the
Ground
;
and
whatever
the
Daughter
and
Maritornes
could
do
,
to
provoke
and
incense
his
noble
Passion
,
wou'd
not
stir
the
tenth
part
of
an
Inch.
't
is
against
the
Laws
of
Chivalry
,
cry'd
Don
Quixote
,
for
me
to
employ
my
Sword
in
the
Murder
of
mean
and
paltry
Squires
;
and
therefore
call
Sancho
—
the
Honour
of
these
pitiful
Jobs
of
Revenge
belongs
to
him
.
This
was
the
Issue
of
Don
Quixote's
Assistance
,
while
the
two
Butchers
were
mawling
the
poor
Inn-keeper's
Face
and
Eyes
without
Mercy
:
at
what
time
the
Hostess
,
her
Daughter
,
and
Maritornes
enrag'd
to
see
the
Champions
Courage
so
strangely
bauk'd
,
call'd
him
ten
thousand
Dastards
,
and
cowardly
Rascals
,
fitter
to
drive
Hogs
then
to
be
a
Knight-Errant
.
All
this
while
the
Judge
and
Don
Lewis
were
in
deep
Discourse
together
,
who
being
press'd
by
the
Judge
to
tell
him
the
reason
of
his
sorry
Disguise
,
and
the
Ramble
he
had
tak'n
:
Sir
,
said
he
,
grasping
hard
the
Judge's
hand
in
his
own
,
like
a
person
who
had
something
that
lay
heavy
at
his
Heart
,
and
with
Tears
in
his
Eyes
,
My
Distemper
is
Love
,
the
common
Plague
of
Youth
in
this
World
:
For
,
having
seen
your
Daughter
,
Mrs.
Clara
,
while
you
liv'd
over-against
my
Father's
House
,
to
be
free
wi'
ye
,
Sir
,
her
Beauty
hs
made
a
Wound
i'
my
Heart
,
that
i'
my
Conscience
you
may
lay
your
three
Fingers
in
it
;
and
therefore
since
only
she
can
be
my
Surgeon
,
if
you
think
it
convenient
,
the
Price
of
her
Cure
shall
be
a
loving
Husband
in
the
Person
of
Don
Lewis
;
and
this
is
the
true
Reason
wherefore
I
have
thus
forsak'n
my
Father's
House
,
resolving
to
follow
her
where-ever
she
go
;
altho
as
yet
,
I
know
,
she
's
not
acquainted
with
my
Passion
,
in
regard
I
was
never
yet
so
happy
as
to
express
my
Passion
to
her
.
In
short
,
Sir
,
you
know
who
I
am
;
I
am
my
Father's
only
Son
and
Heir
,
as
my
Mother
assur'd
Him
,
and
he
believes
.
If
then
you
think
me
worthy
your
Alliance
,
make
me
happy
at
last
in
the
Possession
of
your
Daughter
;
and
I
make
no
question
,
but
you
will
find
in
me
a
Son-in-Law
as
dutiful
,
and
a
Husband
as
respectful
as
you
can
desire
;
and
as
for
my
own
Father
,
should
he
have
other
Designs
of
disposing
me
,
that
will
become
frustrate
by
my
own
choice
;
I
make
no
question
but
when
he
sees
how
well
I
have
chosen
for
my self
,
he
will
heark'n
to
Reason
.
Here
the
inamour'd
young
Gentleman
stopp'd
,
while
the
Judge
in
a
strange
Surprize
,
and
not
knowing
what
Answer
to
make
of
a
sudden
,
as
being
us'd
to
deliberate
before
he
gave
Sentence
,
said
no
more
,
but
bid
the
young
Gentleman
not
disquiet
himself
;
for
that
,
if
he
could
prevail
with
his
Father's
Servants
to
let
him
stay
that
Day
,
he
would
consider
his
Case
,
and
contrive
what
was
most
proper
to
be
done
for
his
Satisfaction
.
Upon
which
Don
Lewis
,
forcing
the
Auditor's
hand
to
his
Mouth
,
caress'd
it
with
his
Lips
,
and
bath'd
it
with
his
Tears
;
which
so
mollify'd
the
Judge's
Heart
,
especially
knowing
how
advantageous
a
Match
D.
Lewis
would
prove
to
his
Daughter
,
that
the
Match
had
been
made
,
had
Don
Lewis's
Father
been
there
to
have
agreed
upon
the
Joynture
.
By
this
time
the
Inn-keeper
and
his
Guests
were
at
peace
and
quiet
;
for
tho
Don
Quixote
could
not
prevail
by
his
huffing
and
swaggering
,
yet
he
laid
the
Law
to
the
Butchers
with
that
Discretion
and
Moderation
,
that
they
paid
their
Reckoning
,
and
quietly
departed
.
D.
Lewis's
Servants
also
patiently
expected
the
end
of
the
Judge's
Discourse
,
and
their
Master's
Resolution
.
In
a
word
,
all
things
were
hush'd
and
quiet
again
;
or
at
least
,
there
was
a
fair
Probability
of
a
general
Peace
;
when
as
the
Devil
,
that
perpetual
Coyner
of
Mischief
,
would
have
it
,
who
should
enter
the
Inn
,
but
the
Barber
from
whom
Don
Quixote
had
forcibly
tak'n
Mambrino's
Helmet
,
and
Sancho
the
Furniture
of
his
Ass
,
by
way
of
an
honest
high-way
Exchange
.
This
same
Barber
carry'd
his
Mule
into
the
Stable
,
where
seeing
Sancho
Panca
,
and
calling
him
again
to
mind
;
Most
noble
Squire
Thief
,
quo
he
,
have
I
found
ye
at
length
!
and
then
seconding
his
Words
with
down-right
Blows
;
Restore
me
,
Rogue
,
my
Bason
,
my
Pack-saddle
,
and
the
rest
of
my
Furniture
,
or
I
'le
make
Mummie
o'
thy
Bones
.
Sancho
finding
himself
so
unexpectedly
assaulted
,
and
which
was
worse
,
so
scandalously
abus'd
with
scurrilous
Language
,
snatch'd
up
the
Pack-saddle
,
for
which
the
Barber
contested
,
with
one
hand
,
and
with
the
Knuckles
of
the
other
,
directed
his
Fist
so
full
upon
the
Barber's
Chop's
,
that
he
unloosen'd
all
that
side
of
his
Teeth
,
and
made
him
swallow
an
Ounce
of
his
Blood
.
For
all
this
the
Barber
would
not
let
go
his
hold
o'
the
Pack-saddle
,
but
after
he
had
empty'd
his
Mouth
as
well
as
he
could
,
bawl'd
out
with
all
his
force
,
and
made
such
a
Noise
,
that
the
Guests
ran
all
to
the
Stable
to
understand
the
reason
of
the
Combustion
—
Justice
,
Justice
,
i'
the
King's
Name
,
quo
the
Barber
;
here
's
a
high-way
Rogue
has
robb'd
me
,
and
because
I
challenge
my
Goods
where
I
find
'em
,
the
Villain
wou'd
murder
me
—
Ye
impudent
Tooth-drawing
Dog
,
cry'd
Sancho
,
I
a
High-way-man
!
ye
lye
i'
your
Throat
;
these
are
the
Spoils
of
War
,
which
my
Master
fairly
gain'd
in
Battel
.
Don
Quixote
beheld
all
this
with
incredible
Delight
,
pleas'd
in
his
Soul
to
see
how
vigorously
his
Squire
defended
himself
,
and
offended
his
Adversary
.
And
now
he
began
to
think
his
Squire
a
Man
of
Prowess
,
and
resolv'd
to
have
him
Dubb'd
with
the
first
Opportunity
,
as
believing
the
Order
would
receive
great
Advantage
by
his
Valour
.
As
for
the
Barber
,
he
made
a
better
Defence
with
his
Tongue
then
with
his
Fists
.
And
among
other
things
,
Gentlemen
,
cry'd
he
,
this
Pack-saddle
is
as
much
mine
,
as
my
Life
is
his
that
gave
it
me
;
and
I
know
it
again
as
well
as
if
I
had
brought
it
into
the
World
.
There
's
my
Mule
i'
the
Stable
,
that
scorns
I
should
be
tak'n
in
a
Lye
,
do
but
try
the
Pack-saddle
upon
his
Back
,
and
if
it
don't
fit
him
as
exactly
as
ever
any
Lady's
Stays
that
were
made
by
a
French
Taylor
,
hang
me
upon
the
Sign-post
without
Doors
.
Nay
,
this
was
not
all
—
for
the
same
day
I
was
robb'd
,
they
took
from
me
a
brass
Bason
spick
and
span
new
,
that
had
never
been
us'd
i'
this
World
,
and
cost
me
a
hard
Angel
but
two
days
before
.
Here
Don
Quixote
could
not
refrain
,
and
therefore
interposing
,
and
parting
the
two
Combatants
,
after
he
had
laid
it
fairly
to
be
seen
by
all
the
Company
,
till
the
Controversie
were
fully
determin'd
;
Gentlemen
,
said
he
,
I
am
glad
you
are
here
to
be
the
equal
Judges
of
the
gross
Mistake
of
this
worshipful
Squire
,
who
calls
a
brass
Bason
,
that
which
was
,
is
,
and
ever
will
be
,
Mambrino's
Helmet
,
and
which
I
won
from
him
in
single
Combat
;
at
what
time
,
not
only
his
Helmet
,
but
his
Life
was
forfeited
to
my
victorious
Sword
.
As
for
the
pretended
Pack-saddle
,
't
is
no
concern
of
mine
;
all
that
I
can
say
to
it
,
is
this
;
That
after
I
had
vanquish'd
this
Hedge
bird
of
a
Knight-Errant
,
my
Squire
Sancho
ask'd
me
leave
to
exchange
Harnesses
,
that
is
to
say
,
to
take
the
Knight's
Saddle
and
Housses
to
put
upon
his
own
Ass
,
which
I
gave
him
Permission
to
do
;
but
how
that
Saddle
and
Housses
should
come
to
be
chang'd
into
a
Pack-saddle
,
is
past
my
Apprehension
,
unless
it
should
be
done
by
the
Power
of
those
Enchantments
so
frequent
in
Knight-Errantry
.
And
now
to
confirm
what
I
say
,
Go
,
Sirrah
Sancho
,
go
presently
and
fetch
me
the
Helmet
,
which
this
Son
of
Infamy
calls
a
Bason
.
By
my
new-won
Honour
,
quo
Sancho
,
if
we
have
no
better
Proof
then
your
Helmet
,
we
shall
lose
our
Cause
:
For
a
Bason
will
be
a
Bason
;
and
a
Pack-saddle
a
Pack-saddle
,
tho
you
talk
till
Dooms-day
.
Do
as
I
bid
thee
,
for
all
that
,
cry'd
Don
Quixote
—
and
don't
make
me
believe
the
Devil
works
altogether
by
Inchantment
i'
this
Castle
—
Thereupon
Sancho
having
fetch'd
the
Bason
,
Don
Quixote
holding
it
up
in
his
hand
;
Look
ye
now
,
Gentlemen
,
said
he
,
how
is
it
possible
that
this
Mahometan
of
a
Squire
should
be
so
confident
as
to
maintain
,
that
this
is
not
a
Helmet
?
And
yet
by
the
Order
of
Knighthood
which
I
profess
,
this
is
the
very
Helmet
which
I
took
from
that
brazen-fac'd
Infidel
,
without
Addition
or
Diminution
.
Yes
by
my
Honour
is
it
,
quo
Sancho
,
and
ever
since
my
Master
has
been
the
Owner
of
it
,
he
never
wore
it
but
in
one
Combat
,
and
that
was
when
he
set
the
unfortunate
Galley-slaves
at
Liberty
;
and
in
good
Sooth-law
,
happy
was
it
for
him
that
he
had
this
Bason
of
a
Helmet
to
defend
his
Brains
from
a
Shower
of
Stones
and
Brick-batts
that
rain'd
upon
his
Scull
in
that
Diabolical
Encounter
.
CHAP.
XVIII
.
Wherein
are
decided
the
Controversies
touching
the
Helmet
and
Pannel
,
with
other
Adventures
as
they
really
happen'd
.
TIS
very
well
,
my
Masters
;
pray
tell
me
now
what
's
your
Opinion
of
these
worthy
,
right
worshipful
Ruffians
,
that
have
the
Impudence
to
out-face
ye
,
that
this
is
a
Helmet
and
not
a
Bason
?
He
that
dares
say
the
contrary
,
cry'd
Don
Quixote
,
if
he
be
a
Knight
,
then
a'
lyes
ten
times
in
his
Throat
,
and
I
'le
justifie
't
;
but
if
a
Squire
,
he
's
a
Lyer
ten
thousand
times
,
and
I
'le
prove
it
.
Thereupon
Mr.
Nicholas
the
other
Barber
,
willing
to
support
Don
Quixote
in
his
Folly
,
and
to
drive
the
Jest
a
little
farther
for
the
Divertisement
of
the
Company
;
Sir
Barber
,
quo
he
,
addressing
himself
to
his
Brother
Tooth-drawer
,
know
that
I
am
a
dignify'd
Brother
of
the
same
Trade
or
Mystery
with
your self
;
and
as
I
have
been
admitted
of
the
Company
these
twenty
Years
,
I
understand
all
the
Instruments
that
belong
to
your
Barber's
Trade
,
from
the
Wash-ball
and
Ear-picker
,
to
the
Blood-letting
Lancet
and
Crow's-foot
.
More
then
that
,
I
have
exercis'd
in
Cripple-gate
Church-yard
,
and
understand
a
close
Helmet
,
a
Morion
,
and
a
Head-piece
,
and
the
distinguishing
Difference
between
all
these
three
;
and
I
do
affirm
,
with
something
of
Submission
to
better
Judgments
,
That
that
same
piece
which
the
Worshipful
Knight
holds
there
in
his
hands
,
is
no
more
like
a
Barber's
Bason
,
then
a
Medlar's
like
a
Lobster
;
and
therefore
,
I
say
't
is
a
Helmet
,
tho
I
must
confess
not
so
well
shap'd
,
nor
so
neat
and
compleat
,
as
you
shall
see
hang
up
in
the
Halls
belonging
to
the
Houses
of
some
ancient
Families
.
't
is
very
true
,
reply'd
Don
Quixote
,
because
the
Beaver
is
wanting
,
which
is
no
less
then
one
half
of
the
whole
.
The
Knight
speaks
with
Discretion
,
and
like
a
Person
of
Judgment
,
quo
the
Curate
,
who
well
understood
Mr.
Nicholas's
Design
.
Cardenio
also
,
and
D.
Ferdinand
,
together
with
his
Friends
,
agreed
in
the
same
Opinion
.
As
for
the
Judge
,
't
was
beneath
his
Gravity
to
mind
these
Fooleries
;
besides
,
he
had
found
a
Match
that
lik'd
him
for
his
Daughter
,
and
therefore
he
was
plodding
how
to
bring
it
about
,
according
to
Law
.
God
forgive
me
,
quo
the
Barber
,
fetching
a
deep
Sigh
!
how
is
it
possible
so
many
worthy
Gentlemen
should
be
so
beetle-blind
,
as
not
to
discern
a
Bason
from
a
Helmet
?
'
Slife
!
't
is
enough
to
puzzle
the
most
learned
University
i'
the
World
.
Why
,
had
ye
been
all
so
many
blind
Harpers
,
ye
might
have
known
a
Bason
from
a
Helmet
by
your
feeling
—
And
now
the
Bason's
gone
,
I
find
what
will
become
o'
my
Pannel
;
for
if
the
Bason
be
a
Helmet
,
the
Pannel
must
be
a
War-saddle
by
Consequence
.
For
my
part
,
reply'd
Don
Quixote
,
I
must
needs
confess
I
believe
it
to
be
a
Pack-saddle
;
but
as
I
told
ye
before
,
those
mean
things
are
beneath
my
Decision
;
and
therefore
whether
it
be
a
Pannel
or
a
War-saddle
,
I
shall
not
turmoyle
my
Brains
.
My
Lord
Don
Quixote
,
consider
I
pray
,
reply'd
the
Curate
,
't
is
your
Business
in
such
like
Difficulties
as
these
,
to
rule
the
Roast
with
absolute
Dominion
.
For
in
matters
of
Chivalry
,
there
is
not
one
in
all
the
Company
but
submits
to
your
Determination
,
and
as
they
ought
in
Duty
,
are
resolv'd
to
abide
by
it
.
By
the
spangl'd
Spheres
of
Heaven
,
Gentlemen
,
quo
Don
Quixote
,
you
honour
me
to
a
high
Degree
;
but
so
many
,
and
so
strange
have
been
the
Adventures
I
ha'
met
with
in
this
Castle
,
both
times
that
I
have
layn
here
,
that
I
dare
not
determine
affirmatively
of
what
I
see
with
my
own
Eyes
;
which
makes
me
believe
that
nothing
but
Enchantment
governs
this
Castle
.
The
first
time
I
was
plagu'd
almost
out
of
my
Life
by
an
enchanted
Moor
;
and
Sancho
my
Squire
was
no
less
tormented
by
an
invisible
Legion
of
the
same
infernal
Hue
.
And
then
again
,
but
yesterday
,
which
is
but
of
a
fresh
date
,
I
was
hung
up
by
one
Arm
for
two
hours
together
,
not
being
able
to
divine
who
the
Devil
should
do
me
the
Injury
,
unless
it
were
the
Devil
himself
,
or
some
of
his
sooty
Co-partners
.
And
now
for
me
to
undertake
to
unriddle
Mysteries
so
perplex'd
and
confus'd
,
would
be
but
rashly
to
provoke
Beelzebub
to
do
me
more
Mischief
.
I
have
told
ye
my
Opinion
already
concerning
the
Helmet
;
but
as
to
the
business
of
the
Pannel
,
to
decide
whether
it
is
a
Pack-saddle
or
a
War-saddle
,
I
dare
not
adventure
to
do
it
.
That
belongs
rather
to
you
,
Gentlemen
;
for
that
perhaps
not
being
Dubb'd
Knights
as
I
am
,
Enchantments
may
have
no
power
to
hurt
ye
,
and
you
may
be
able
to
make
a
sounder
Judgment
of
the
Transactions
,
while
the
Objects
shall
appear
without
Inchantment
to
your
Senses
,
what
really
and
truly
they
are
,
not
as
they
appear
to
me
.
Without
question
,
quo
D.
Ferdinand
,
the
Lord
Don
Quixote
speaks
nothing
but
Reason
;
this
business
falls
properly
under
our
Determination
;
and
therefore
that
we
may
proceed
regularly
,
and
upon
sure
Grounds
,
I
will
collect
the
Suffrages
of
every
one
in
particular
privately
by
himself
,
and
so
let
the
Plurality
of
Voices
carry
it
.
This
was
sufficient
matter
of
Pastime
to
those
that
understood
Don
Quixote's
Humour
:
But
D.
Lewis
,
his
Father's
Servants
,
and
the
three
new-enter'd
Guests
,
who
seem'd
to
be
Bum-bayliffs
,
as
indeed
they
were
,
look'd
upon
it
as
a
meer
frolick
,
but
knew
not
what
to
make
of
it
.
All
this
while
the
Barber
was
at
his
Wits
end
,
to
see
his
Bason
transmogrify'd
before
his
Eyes
into
a
Helmet
,
and
made
no
question
but
that
his
Pack-saddle
would
undergo
e're
long
as
bad
a
Change
,
at
least
,
for
himself
.
And
therefore
't
was
not
for
him
to
be
so
merry
as
the
rest
,
who
could
not
forbear
smiling
to
see
how
seriously
D.
Ferdinand
went
about
collecting
the
Votes
,
and
whispering
every
one
in
the
Ear
,
with
such
a
starch'd
and
compos'd
Gravity
,
as
if
it
had
been
a
Concern
of
Life
and
Death
.
After
he
had
tak'n
the
Verdicts
of
all
that
were
acquainted
with
Don
Quixote's
Humour
,
addressing
himself
to
the
Barber
with
a
loud
Voice
;
Honest
Friend
,
said
he
,
the
Case
is
this
,
I
am
weary
of
asking
the
same
Question
so
many
times
,
especially
finding
that
still
they
make
me
the
same
Answer
.
For
there
is
not
one
but
tells
me
,
't
is
the
greatest
Folly
i'
the
World
,
to
ask
'em
,
whether
this
be
the
Pannel
of
an
Ass
,
or
no
,
since
't
is
so
visible
to
all
Men
of
Sense
and
Judgment
,
that
't
is
a
Saddle
;
and
not
only
a
Saddle
,
but
the
Saddle
of
a
Horse
of
Value
;
and
they
question
whether
it
might
not
have
been
some
Mayor's
,
or
some
Sheriff's
Horse
,
considering
the
Ruines
of
the
Trappings
.
And
therefore
your
only
Remedy
must
be
the
mad
Dog's
Cure
,
Patience
per-force
.
For
in
spite
of
your
Nose
,
and
let
your
Ass
bray
never
so
many
Arguments
to
the
contrary
,
this
is
a
War-saddle
,
only
you
have
made
a
wrangling
Dispute
to
no
purpose
,
and
prov'd
nothing
.
May
I
never
enter
into
Paradise
,
cry'd
the
poor
Barber
,
if
ye
are
not
all
a
Company
of
Ignoramus
Jury
men
,
as
wise
and
as
worshipful
as
ye
are
;
and
may
my
Soul
no
otherwise
appear
in
Heaven
,
then
as
this
appears
to
me
to
be
a
Pack-saddle
:
But
Might
has
overcome
Right
,
and
so
let
it
go
.
Yet
after
this
,
I
am
sure
I
am
not
drunk
,
nor
have
I
tasted
so
much
as
a
bit
o'
Bread
to
day
,
unless
it
were
i'
my
Sleep
.
Thus
the
Follies
of
the
Barber
caus'd
no
less
Laughter
then
the
Extravagancies
of
Don
Quixote
,
who
having
got
the
Day
;
Come
,
said
he
,
there
remains
now
no
more
to
be
done
,
but
that
we
take
our
own
Goods
where
we
find
'
em
.
And
so
saying
,
he
seiz'd
upon
the
Bason
,
while
Sancho
carry'd
away
the
Pack-saddle
,
and
the
discontented
Barber
grumbl'd
out
a
thousand
Curses
against
the
Partiality
and
Injustice
of
his
Jury
.
But
the
Devil
could
not
be
satisfy'd
to
see
a
Comedy
conclude
so
pleasantly
,
without
any
Mischief
at
all
in
it
;
and
therefore
he
enters
one
of
D.
Lewis's
Servants
,
who
being
so
possess'd
,
would
needs
be
spending
his
Verdict
where
he
had
nothing
to
do
;
quo
he
,
like
a
pragmatical
Coxcomb
,
If
this
were
not
a
piece
of
premeditated
Drollery
,
how
the
Devil
can
it
be
,
that
so
many
Persons
that
seem
to
be
Gentlemen
of
Quality
and
Understanding
,
should
be
so
strangely
over
seen
,
as
to
mistake
a
Fox
for
a
Civet-Cat
?
But
since
they
both
say
and
affirm
it
,
there
must
needs
be
some
Mystery
i'
the
thing
,
or
else
I
swear
—
(
and
with
that
,
he
wrapp'd
out
three
or
four
Cannon-bullet
Oathes
)
a
Legion
of
St.
Francis's
,
and
St.
Dominic's
shall
never
make
me
believe
,
but
that
yonder
's
a
Bason
,
and
that
there
's
an
Ass's
Pack-saddle
.
Don't
swear
so
fast
,
quo
the
Curate
,
for
it
may
be
a
Mule's
,
for
ought
you
know
.
As
you
please
for
that
,
quo
the
Fellow
,
still
I
say
,
't
is
a
Pack-saddle
.
Thereupon
one
of
the
Bumms
that
last
enter'd
the
Inn
,
and
had
listen'd
to
the
Dispute
,
all
in
a
Heat
and
Fury
to
hear
such
a
Paradox
maintain'd
;
't
is
as
really
a
Pack-saddle
,
quo
he
,
as
ever
my
Father
was
my
Father
;
and
whoever
saies
,
or
shall
say
the
contrary
,
must
be
either
mad
or
drunk
as
a
Grape
.
Ye
lye
like
a
Dog
,
reply'd
Don
Quixote
;
and
with
that
,
heaving
up
his
Lance
,
which
he
always
carry'd
in
his
hand
,
he
made
such
a
dismal
Blow
at
the
Bailiff's
Pate
,
that
had
he
not
skipp'd
for
his
Life
,
the
Knight
had
laid
him
sprawling
at
his
Feet
,
where
half
the
Lance
lay
in
Splinters
upon
the
Ground
already
,
with
the
Fury
of
the
Stroke
.
Upon
which
,
the
rest
of
the
Bailiffs
seeing
the
bad
Entertainment
of
their
Companion
,
fell
a
tearing
their
ungodly
Throats
for
the
Constable
.
Their
Yauling
and
Bawling
brought
out
the
Inn-keeper
,
who
being
one
of
the
worshipful
Fraternity
,
hasten'd
to
their
Relief
,
with
his
rusty
Basket-hilted
Rapier
,
and
sides
with
his
Brethren
.
D.
Lewis's
Father's
Servants
fearing
his
Escape
,
withdrew
to
secure
their
Charge
.
The
Barber
perceiving
the
whole
Inn
in
a
Hurly-burly
,
desirous
to
take
the
Opportunity
,
runs
away
to
regain
his
Pack-saddle
,
while
Sancho
suspecting
his
Design
,
was
no
less
diligent
to
secure
his
own
Right
.
In
the
mean
time
Don
Quixote
draws
,
and
with
his
keen
Kil-zadog
attacks
the
Bumms
.
And
now
the
Devil's
Sport
begins
.
D.
Lewis
entreats
,
desires
,
commands
his
Guardians
to
run
and
assist
Don
Quixote
,
D.
Ferdinand
,
and
Cardenio
,
who
by
this
time
were
all
engag'd
in
his
Quarrel
.
The
Curate
bawls
out
a
thousand
For
God-sakes
,
Gentlemen
;
the
Hostess
squall'd
,
her
Daughter
squeal'd
,
Maritornes
howl'd
;
Mrs.
Doroty
trembl'd
;
Lucinda
quak'd
;
Mrs.
Clara
quiver'd
;
the
Barber
cuff'd
Sancho
,
and
Sancho
maul'd
the
Barber
.
On
the
other
side
,
D.
Lewis
perceiving
himself
held
by
the
Wast-band
of
his
Breeches
by
one
of
his
Father's
Servants
,
for
fear
he
should
make
his
Escape
,
gave
him
such
a
Salute
full
i'
the
Mouth
,
for
his
Sauciness
,
that
he
sent
four
of
his
Teeth
to
chew
over
his
Meat
again
in
his
Stomach
.
Don
Ferdinand
trampl'd
one
of
the
Bailiffs
under
his
Feet
,
as
if
he
had
been
treading
Grapes
in
a
Wine-Trough
;
and
Cardenio
laid
about
him
like
Garagantua
himself
,
while
the
Inn
keeper
in
vain
invok'd
all
the
Justices
o'
the
Quorum
i'
the
County
.
So
that
the
whole
Inn
was
in
a
hellish
Disorder
,
where
nothing
was
to
be
heard
but
Out
cries
,
Lamentations
,
Howling
,
Yelling
,
clashing
of
Swords
,
and
a
Loathbury
Noise
of
Thwacks
,
Thumps
,
Buffets
,
Bastinado's
,
Knocks
,
Drubs
,
and
Whirrets
;
besides
a
thousand
disgraceful
Dogs
,
Rogues
,
Thieves
,
Murderers
,
Villains
,
Sons
a'
Whores
,
Hoyday
—
as
if
Hell
it self
had
been
let
loose
—
You
wou'd
ha'
sworn
t'
had
been
the
Devil's
own
Bear-Garden
.
In
the
midst
of
this
Chaos
and
dreadful
Confusion
,
Don
Quixote
,
whose
Memory
never
fail'd
him
so
long
as
he
kept
his
Scull
whole
,
began
to
bethink
himself
of
the
Mutiny
that
happen'd
in
Agrimant's
Camp
;
and
believing
himself
engag'd
in
the
thickest
of
that
fatal
Medley
,
with
a
roaring
Voice
that
made
the
very
Beams
of
the
Inn
shake
;
Hold
a
while
,
cry'd
he
,
sheath
your
Swords
,
and
give
ear
to
my
seasonable
Admonitions
,
as
ye
value
the
Preservation
of
your
Lives
.
Such
was
the
Terror
of
his
Voice
,
that
as
if
the
Grand
Signior
himself
had
spoken
,
they
all
stopp'd
of
a
sudden
,
and
prick'd
up
their
Ears
in
Expectation
of
all
the
Proverbs
in
Erasmus
;
at
what
time
Don
Quixote
proceeding
:
Have
I
not
told
ye
,
Gentlemen
,
quo
he
,
that
this
Castle
is
enchanted
,
and
that
't
is
possess'd
with
a
whole
Legion
of
Devils
?
Now
to
confirm
what
I
say
,
do
but
observe
with
your
own
Eyes
,
and
then
tell
me
whether
that
damn'd
Squabble
that
happen'd
in
Agrimant's
Camp
,
have
not
squeez'd
it self
in
among
us
.
Do
but
observe
how
,
at
that
time
,
one
fought
for
a
Horse
,
another
for
a
Doxy
;
one
for
an
Eagle
,
another
for
a
Crow
;
one
for
a
Greyhound
,
another
for
a
Setting-dog
;
just
as
we
now
cut
and
hack
one
another
,
yet
neither
know
for
what
,
nor
who
are
our
Friends
,
nor
who
are
our
Foes
.
Pray
,
therefore
,
you
Mr.
Judge
,
and
you
Mr.
Curate
,
come
hither
;
let
the
one
be
King
Agrimant
,
and
the
other
King
Sobrin
;
and
do
you
endeavour
to
reconcile
us
.
For
before
George
and
the
seven
Champions
,
't
is
a
shame
that
so
many
Persons
of
Quality
,
as
here
are
now
,
should
fight
and
kill
one
another
for
Helmets
and
Pack-saddles
.
The
Bumbailiffs
not
at
all
acquainted
with
Don
Quixote's
Raptures
,
and
who
had
been
rudely
Rib
roasted
by
Cardenio
,
D.
Ferdinand
,
and
his
Friends
,
were
all
for
Revenge
,
and
would
hearken
to
no
Accommodation
.
But
the
Barber
was
for
a
Truce
,
in
regard
,
his
Pannel
was
broken
,
and
his
Beard
almost
all
torn
from
his
Chin
.
D.
Lewis's
Servants
were
easily
perswaded
,
well
knowing
how
much
it
concern'd
'em
to
mind
a
business
of
far
greater
Importance
.
And
Sancho
gave
over
as
soon
as
he
heard
his
Master's
Voice
,
like
a
vertuous
and
obedient
Servant
.
Only
the
Inn-keeper
could
not
suppress
his
Choler
,
breathing
the
utter
Extirpation
of
that
impertinent
Dotard
,
that
did
nothing
but
disturb
the
Peace
of
his
Inn
,
and
plague
him
with
continual
Brawls
and
Quarrels
.
However
,
at
length
the
Riot
was
appeas'd
,
or
at
least
,
there
was
a
Cessation
of
Arms
;
the
Pack-saddle
continu'd
to
be
a
War-saddle
,
and
the
Bason
to
be
a
Helmet
,
and
Don
Quixote
fancy'd
the
Inn
to
be
a
Castle
,
as
before
,
without
Controul
or
Contradiction
.
Thus
by
the
indefatigable
Pains
of
the
Judge
and
the
Curate
,
Peace
being
concluded
,
and
all
become
Friends
,
or
at
least
seeming
so
to
be
,
Don
Lewis's
Servants
renew'd
their
Importunities
to
him
,
that
he
would
be
pleas'd
to
return
home
to
his
Father
;
at
what
time
,
while
D.
Lewis
was
holding
the
Servants
in
suspence
,
and
considering
how
to
be
rid
of
'em
,
the
Judge
taking
D.
Ferdinand
,
Cardenio
,
and
the
Curate
aside
,
gave
'em
an
account
of
what
D.
Lewis
had
discover'd
to
him
,
and
desir'd
'em
to
give
him
their
Advice
what
was
fit
to
be
done
.
Thereupon
they
all
agreed
,
that
D.
Ferdinand
should
make
known
to
D.
Lewis's
Servants
who
he
was
,
and
promise
to
take
the
young
Gentleman
home
along
with
him
,
where
he
should
be
receiv'd
and
entertain'd
according
to
his
Quality
;
for
that
they
found
D.
Lewis
fully
resolv'd
not
to
see
his
Father
as
yet
,
unless
they
carry'd
him
whom
Piece-meal
.
Nor
durst
the
Servants
resist
,
when
they
understood
D.
Ferdinand's
Dignity
,
and
the
Resolution
of
D.
Lewis
;
so
that
they
concluded
among
themselves
,
that
three
of
'em
should
return
back
to
give
an
Account
of
their
Journey
to
his
Father
,
and
that
one
should
tarry
behind
to
wait
upon
the
young
Gentleman
.
And
thus
the
Authority
of
Agramant
,
and
the
Prudence
of
King
Sobrin
,
pacify'd
all
Discords
,
and
ruin'd
the
dreadful
Structure
of
Contention
and
Division
,
which
the
Devil
had
rais'd
.
But
Satan
,
that
profess'd
Enemy
of
Concord
,
disdaining
to
see
his
Building
thus
demolish'd
,
and
himself
mock'd
,
and
robb'd
of
the
Fruit
of
his
Labours
,
while
he
was
but
only
stepp'd
aside
a
little
way
,
to
sow
a
Handful
or
two
more
of
Dissention
in
another
Place
,
resolv'd
to
try
one
trick
more
before
they
parted
,
to
set
'em
all
together
by
the
Ears
,
as
they
were
before
.
Thereupon
he
whispers
one
of
the
Bailiffs
i'
the
Ear
,
who
being
no
Ignoramus
i'
the
Devil's
Language
,
both
understood
,
and
was
easily
perswaded
by
him
.
Besides
,
he
had
been
soundly
thrash'd
by
Don
Quixote
,
who
,
it
seems
,
had
particularly
taken
him
to
task
,
and
Revenge
was
sweet
;
and
this
was
another
Motive
besides
the
Devil's
Temptation
.
Remembring
therefore
what
the
Devil
had
told
him
,
he
pulls
his
Letter-case
out
of
his
Pocket
,
and
there
among
other
Papers
,
finds
a
Chief
Justice's
Warrant
against
Don
Quixote
,
upon
a
Complaint
made
for
rescuing
several
condemn'd
Rogues
from
their
Keepers
,
who
were
to
carry
'em
to
the
Sea-side
,
in
order
to
their
Transportation
.
Having
open'd
his
Warrant
,
he
read
it
very
leisurely
,
at
the
end
of
every
Line
,
staring
Don
Quixote
i'
the
Face
,
and
still
comparing
the
Lineaments
of
his
Countenance
,
with
the
Description
made
of
his
Physognomy
i'
the
Warrant
.
By
which
means
being
at
length
fully
assur'd
,
that
he
was
the
Person
intended
in
the
Warrant
,
he
darted
himself
upon
Don
Quixote
,
like
a
Lyon
upon
his
Prey
,
and
catching
him
by
the
Collar
,
held
him
so
fast
with
his
Thumb
upon
his
Wind-pipe
,
that
he
hardly
gave
him
Liberty
to
breath
,
crying
out
at
the
same
time
,
Take
notice
,
Gentlemen
,
that
by
Virtue
of
this
Warrant
,
I
seize
this
Fellow
here
;
he
's
a
Thief
and
a
High-way-man
,
and
therefore
I
charge
ye
i'
the
King's
Name
,
to
assist
me
.
The
Curate
read
the
Warrant
,
and
found
it
true
as
the
Bailiff
said
.
But
the
Knight
finding
himself
so
rudely
handl'd
by
a
Scoundrel
,
and
call'd
Thief
and
High
way-man
beside
,
fell
into
such
a
prodigious
Rage
,
that
you
might
have
heard
his
very
Bones
grind
one
against
another
in
his
Skin
;
and
notwithstanding
the
hold
which
the
Bailiff
had
of
him
,
he
clapt
both
his
hands
with
that
Violence
to
the
Bailiff's
Throat
,
that
he
had
certainly
strangl'd
him
without
the
help
of
a
Lute-string
,
had
not
his
Companions
come
all
to
his
Rescue
.
Thus
,
while
some
took
Don
Quixote's
part
,
and
the
Inn-keeper
ran
to
help
his
Brethren
,
here
was
the
Devil
to
do
again
.
The
Hostess
seeing
her
Husband
engag'd
in
new
Broils
,
exalts
her
hideous
Voice
,
while
her
Daughter
and
Maritornes
put
in
for
two
upper
parts
,
enough
to
ha'
frighted
the
Devil
out
of
a
Body
possess'd
.
Heavens
bless
us
,
cry'd
Sancho
!
beholding
this
new
Combustion
,
certainly
my
Master
spoke
Truth
,
when
he
said
this
Castle
was
inchanted
;
nay
,
more
then
that
,
I
believe
all
the
Devils
in
Hell
are
broke
loose
,
that
a
Man
can't
have
an
hours
rest
i'
this
damn'd
Hole
.
Well
—
at
last
Don
Ferdinand
parted
Don
Quixote
and
the
Bailiff
,
to
the
great
ease
of
both
,
who
were
mutually
grasping
each
other's
Throats
,
with
a
murderous
Design
.
Nevertheless
,
the
Bailiffs
demanded
their
Prisoner
,
and
requir'd
Aid
to
bind
him
,
and
deliver
him
up
into
their
hands
as
the
King's
Prisoner
,
a
High-way-man
,
and
a
Rifler
of
Travellers
.
On
the
other
side
Don
Quixote
laugh'd
at
their
seizure
of
his
Body
,
and
with
his
usual
Gravity
;
Hark
ye
me
,
Caitiffs
,
and
Scum
of
the
Earth
,
said
he
,
Do
you
call
him
a
High-way-man
,
and
a
Rifler
of
Travellers
,
that
sets
at
liberty
poor
People
in
Chains
;
delivers
distressed
Captives
,
succours
the
afflicted
,
and
rescues
the
oppressed
?
Infamous
Rascals
!
whose
abject
Cowardise
,
and
Understanding
not
equal
to
that
of
a
Dormouse
,
renders
ye
unworthy
that
Heaven
should
impart
to
your
Knowledge
the
Vertue
of
Knight-Errantry
,
or
convince
ye
of
the
Sin
ye
commit
,
or
Ignorance
ye
are
in
,
for
not
adoring
the
Shadow
,
much
more
the
personal
Assistance
of
a
Magnanimous
Knight-Errant
.
One
word
more
,
Scoundrels
of
Bailiffs
!
not
Officers
of
Justice
,
Robbers
,
under
pretence
of
Authority
,
tell
me
who
that
Justice
was
,
that
was
so
bold
to
sign
a
Warrant
against
a
Knight
of
my
Order
?
Some
ignorant
Wharfinger
or
other
,
who
never
understood
that
Knight-Errants
are
no
Game
for
Justice
to
hawk
after
;
that
they
acknowledge
no
Judge
or
Tribunal
i'
the
World
:
that
they
have
no
other
Laws
but
their
Swords
,
nor
obey
any
other
Statutes
,
Edicts
,
or
Ordinances
,
but
their
own
Will
.
What
impertinent
Justass
of
the
Peace
,
continu'd
he
,
was
that
,
who
was
so
ignorant
,
as
not
to
know
that
there
is
not
any
Title
of
Nobility
can
claim
so
many
Priviledges
,
Prerogatives
,
and
Exemptions
,
as
are
due
to
a
Knight-Errant
,
the
very
moment
that
he
is
Dubb'd
,
and
devotes
himself
to
that
illustrious
,
tho
laborious
Calling
?
What
Knight-Errant
ever
paid
Customs
,
Subsidies
,
Taxes
,
or
Tolls
,
Knight-Baronet's
Fees
,
Royal
Aid
,
or
Hearth-money
?
What
Taylor
ever
askt
him
Money
for
making
his
Clothes
?
What
Constable
ever
refus'd
him
Entrance
into
his
Castle
?
Or
who
ever
ask'd
a
Knight-Errant
to
pay
a
Cook
for
his
Meat
and
Drink
?
Where
is
that
King
or
Prince
that
has
not
always
giv'n
Knight-Errants
free
Admittance
to
their
Tables
?
Or
where
is
that
Lady
that
has
not
been
charm'd
with
their
Merit
,
and
submitted
to
their
Valour
?
Lastly
,
where
was
ever
,
is
,
or
will
be
that
Knight-Errant
that
has
not
himself
alone
a
Strength
and
Courage
liberal
enough
to
bestow
four
hundred
Bastinado's
upon
four
hundred
miscreant
Bumms
,
if
they
dare
be
so
hardy
as
to
accept
of

CHAP.
XIX
.
Containing
the
notable
Adventure
of
the
Bailiffs
,
and
declaring
withal
,
the
horrible
Wrath
of
the
most
Noble
Don
Quixote
.
WHile
Don
Quixote
was
defying
Law
and
Justice
after
this
raving
manner
,
the
Curate
endeavour'd
to
perswade
the
Bailiffs
,
that
Don
Quixote
was
out
of
his
Wits
,
as
they
might
rationally
judge
themselves
,
as
well
by
his
Actions
as
his
Words
;
and
therefore
that
they
would
have
no
Thanks
for
their
Labour
,
to
seize
and
hurry
away
a
mad
Man
to
the
Trouble
of
those
that
would
as
soon
release
him
for
a
Lunatick
,
as
he
was
.
To
which
the
Fellow
that
had
the
Warrant
,
made
Answer
,
That
it
was
not
for
him
to
judge
,
whether
he
were
a
Fool
or
a
Knave
,
but
only
to
execute
his
Warrant
;
which
when
he
had
done
,
let
the
Judges
give
him
a
hundred
Discharges
,
't
was
nothing
to
him
.
I
hear
ye
,
and
understand
ye
,
quo
the
Curate
,
however
for
this
one
time
you
shall
not
carry
him
away
;
neither
do
I
believe
that
he
himself
will
suffer
ye
to
do
it
,
for
you
'l
find
him
a
tough
piece
a'
Flesh
,
a'
my
word
.
In
short
,
the
Curate
knew
so
well
how
to
preach
to
the
Bailiffs
,
and
Don
Quixote
committed
so
many
Extravagancies
at
the
same
time
,
that
the
Bailiffs
had
been
madder
then
he
,
had
they
not
submitted
to
the
Curate
,
and
concluded
to
return
a
Non
est
inventus
upon
the
Writ
.
Thus
was
Don
Quixote
secur'd
from
one
of
the
greatest
Perils
that
ever
had
like
to
ha'
befall'n
him
in
this
Life
:
And
the
Bailiffs
of
their
own
accords
,
undertook
to
make
an
Accomodation
between
the
Barber
and
Sancho
;
who
read
to
eat
one
another
,
still
continu'd
their
Malice
and
Hatred
,
and
fain
wou'd
ha'
had
the
t'other
Brush
.
But
the
Bailiffs
being
a
sort
of
Retainers
to
Justice
,
the
two
embitter'd
Enemies
could
not
refuse
their
Mediation
,
wherein
they
behav'd
themselves
with
such
an
unusual
Equity
,
give
the
Devil
his
due
,
that
both
Parties
submitted
to
their
Determination
,
if
not
fully
contented
,
yet
in
some
measure
satisfy'd
;
the
Pannels
being
both
exchang'd
,
but
neither
the
Halters
nor
the
Girts
.
And
as
for
the
Helmet
,
the
Curate
gave
the
Barber
two
Shillings
for
it
,
causing
him
to
sign
a
general
Release
,
at
the
same
time
,
to
the
Knight
,
of
all
Actions
,
or
Causes
of
Action
,
Suits
,
Endictments
,
Prosecutions
,
&c.
from
the
beginning
of
the
World
to
the
Day
of
the
date
.
These
two
important
Quarrels
thus
decided
;
the
next
thing
was
to
send
away
D.
Lewis's
Servants
back
to
their
Master
,
leaving
only
one
to
attend
the
young
Gentleman
;
which
the
other
three
were
easily
perswaded
to
do
;
first
,
because
they
could
not
help
it
;
and
secondly
,
because
they
left
him
in
safe
hands
.
So
that
Mrs.
Clara
,
finding
that
at
length
she
should
have
the
Company
of
her
beloved
Smock-face
,
was
so
over-joy'd
,
that
she
look'd
as
fresh
as
a
Rose
in
June
,
and
seem'd
ten
times
handsomer
then
she
did
before
.
As
for
Zoraida
,
who
understood
not
the
Reason
of
things
,
for
want
of
understanding
the
Language
,
she
observ'd
her
Female-Companions
,
and
when
they
laugh'd
,
she
laugh'd
;
when
they
were
sad
,
she
was
sorrowful
.
And
in
Cases
of
Difficulty
,
she
watch'd
the
Motions
of
her
Captives
Eyes
,
as
your
Dancing-horses
observe
the
Hand
and
Switch
of
their
boystrous
Paedagogues
.
There
was
only
one
thing
more
to
be
done
to
procure
a
perfect
Reconciliation
,
which
was
,
to
satisfie
the
Inn-keeper
for
Don
Quixote's
Actions
of
Battery
.
For
the
Inn-keeper
observing
the
Composition
which
the
Curate
had
made
with
the
Barber
,
demanded
Satisfaction
for
his
Boracho's
and
his
Wine
,
and
like
a
true
Captain
of
a
Vintner
,
brought
in
his
Bill
double
the
Sum
,
staring
and
swearing
,
that
neither
Rosinante
,
Sancho
,
nor
his
Ass
should
stir
,
by
Virtue
of
an
Inchantment
call'd
an
Attachment
,
that
he
had
laid
upon
'em
,
till
he
was
paid
the
utmost
Farthing
.
To
which
the
Curate
;
Men
of
no
Conscience
,
quo
he
,
(
as
but
few
Vintners
are
)
must
not
be
their
own
Carvers
;
and
so
taking
the
Bill
,
and
making
an
equitable
Deduction
upon
every
Item
,
he
procur'd
of
D.
Ferdinand
to
lay
down
the
Money
,
and
order'd
the
Vintner
to
acknowledge
the
Receipt
of
his
Bill
to
Don
Quixote
,
with
an
All
's
paid
,
and
y'
are
welcome
,
Sir
.
Thus
was
a
Pyrenaean
Peace
a
second
time
concluded
,
and
the
Dissention
and
Slaughter
in
Agramant's
Camp
exchang'd
for
the
Repose
and
Tranquility
of
Augustus's
Reign
,
as
Don
Quixote
himself
most
learnedly
observ'd
.
And
all
the
People
in
the
Inn
observing
that
this
Miracle
was
wrought
by
the
Prudence
of
the
Peace-making
Curate
,
and
the
Liberality
of
D.
Ferdinand
,
they
return'd
to
both
their
most
hearty
Thanks
.
And
now
Don
Quixote
finding
himself
disingag'd
from
all
manner
of
Quarrels
or
Combats
,
either
for
his
own
Honour
,
or
in
his
Squire's
behalf
,
began
to
bethink
himself
once
more
of
the
Adventure
which
he
had
undertaken
,
and
that
it
was
now
high
time
to
accomplish
it
.
Full
of
these
Thoughts
he
went
and
threw
himself
at
Madam
Doroty's
Feet
;
who
with
no
less
Humility
,
unwilling
to
receive
his
Addresses
in
that
humble
Posture
,
made
him
a
Sign
to
rise
;
which
he
observing
,
and
being
got
upon
his
Legs
,
Most
Noble
,
and
most
Illustrious
Lady
,
said
he
,
there
is
an
old
,
old
Proverb
that
tells
us
,
Diligence
is
the
Mother
of
good
Fortune
;
and
Experience
teaches
us
,
That
in
all
Undertakings
of
Moment
,
Pains
and
Vigilance
surmount
the
greatest
Difficulties
.
The
Truth
of
which
appears
in
nothing
so
much
as
in
War
,
where
a
watchful
Care
to
prevent
the
Designs
of
the
Enemy
,
frequently
gains
a
complete
Triumph
,
before
the
other
has
time
to
defend
himself
.
I
speak
this
,
most
Excellent
Princess
,
because
it
seems
to
me
,
that
our
stay
in
this
Castle
is
not
only
to
no
purpose
,
but
may
also
prove
greatly
to
our
Disadvantage
.
For
who
knows
,
but
that
by
this
time
the
Giant
Pandafilando
may
by
his
secret
Spies
have
got
Intelligence
,
that
I
am
hast'ning
to
his
Destruction
;
and
so
taking
the
Opportunity
of
the
time
which
we
loose
,
he
may
have
fortify'd
himself
in
some
Castle
,
which
all
the
Strength
of
my
indefatigable
Hands
,
and
boistrous
Shoulders
shall
not
be
able
to
demolish
,
either
by
tearing
out
the
Stones
one
by
one
,
or
shoving
it
down
all
at
once
,
in
forty
Years
;
to
the
great
Disappointment
of
my
Honour
,
and
your
Happiness
.
Therefore
,
I
say
,
let
us
prevent
his
Designs
by
our
Diligence
and
Speed
;
let
us
then
make
haste
and
be
gone
;
for
the
longer
it
is
before
I
come
to
grapple
with
your
Enemy
,
the
longer
it
will
be
before
you
obtain
your
Desires
.
Here
Don
Quixote
stopt
and
said
no
more
,
but
with
a
compos'd
Gravity
awaited
the
Princess's
Answer
;
who
with
a
set-Countenance
,
and
Expressions
accommodated
to
the
Knight's
Humour
and
Language
;
Most
Invincible
Knight
,
said
she
,
your
eager
Desire
to
relieve
me
in
my
Misfortunes
,
obliges
me
for
ever
to
acknowledge
your
Favour
,
which
I
could
not
expect
from
any
Deserts
of
my
own
,
but
as
you
are
a
courteous
Knight
,
to
whom
it
belongs
to
succour
the
Distressed
and
Necessitous
:
Propitious
Heaven
accomplish
both
our
Wishes
,
to
the
end
I
may
be
in
a
Condition
to
let
you
see
there
are
Women
in
the
World
that
know
how
to
be
grateful
.
As
to
what
concerns
my
Departure
,
I
am
ready
at
this
Instant
,
as
having
no
other
Will
but
yours
;
dispose
of
it
therefore
as
you
please
your self
,
for
you
may
be
sure
that
she
who
has
entrusted
in
your
Hands
the
Interests
of
her
Kingdom
,
and
the
Defence
of
her
Person
,
can
have
no
ill
Opinion
of
your
Prudence
and
Conduct
.
In
the
Name
of
all
the
Twelve
Caesars
,
let
's
away
then
,
reply'd
Don
Quixote
;
and
since
so
great
a
Princess
condescends
to
this
Humility
before
me
,
let
's
not
lose
the
Opportunity
to
recompence
her
Lowliness
,
by
an
Exaltation
equal
to
her
Dignity
,
and
a
Restoration
to
her
Hereditary
Throne
.
Then
Madam
let
's
not
stay
one
minute
longer
,
Delays
breed
Danger
;
but
hang
Danger
,
't
is
Honour
spurs
me
on
.
Danger
!
what
's
that
?
—
'
Slife
!
Heaven
never
created
that
thing
,
nor
Hell
e're
saw
that
Monster
,
that
could
ever
scare
Don
Quixote
—
Saddle
Rosinante
,
Sancho
—
pannel
thy
Ass
—
and
get
ready
the
Queen's
Palfrey
—
That
done
,
we
'll
only
take
our
leave
of
the
Constable
and
these
noble
Knights
—
and
then
Giant
,
have
at
thee
—
Come
,
Madam
,
your
Hoods
and
Scarfs
,
where
are
they
?
Ah!
Master
,
Master
,
cry'd
Sancho
,
shaking
his
Head
,
there
's
more
Knavery
i'
the
Village
then
every
body
thinks
of
;
I
beg
pardon
of
all
vertuous
Ladies
for
so
saying
.
What
Knavery
,
Dog
,
Slave
,
Traytor
,
reply'd
Don
Quixote
?
What
Knavery
in
any
Village
,
or
in
all
the
Cities
of
the
World
,
can
there
be
to
my
Dishonour
?
Nay
,
Sir
,
quo
Sancho
,
if
y'
are
angry
,
Sir
,
I
'le
bung
up
my
Mouth
.
All
that
I
had
to
say
,
was
only
to
ha'
told
ye
what
I
thought
my self
oblig'd
to
tell
ye
,
as
being
your
Squire
,
and
what
a
faithful
Servant
ought
to
tell
his
Master
.
Say
what
thou
canst
,
reply'd
Don
Quixote
,
but
not
a
Syllable
to
cool
the
Ardour
of
my
Resolution
.
If
Fear
possess
thee
,
go
hang
thy self
;
for
my
part
,
I
know
not
what
Fear
is
,
but
when
I
behold
it
in
the
Countenances
of
my
vanquish'd
Enemies
.
As
I'
m
a
Sinner
to
Heaven
,
Sir
,
y'
are
out
of
the
way
.
All
that
I
intended
to
ha'
said
,
is
only
this
—
Here
's
a
Lady
,
forsooth
,
that
pretends
to
be
Princess
of
Micomicon
,
when
she
's
no
more
Princess
of
Micomicon
then
my
Mother
that
's
dead
and
bury'd
.
For
if
she
were
such
a
great
Princess
,
as
she
saies
she
is
,
she
wou'd
never
lie
smacking
and
slabbering
the
Snout
of
one
i'
this
Company
,
as
she
does
,
to
my
Knowledge
,
in
every
Hole
and
blind
Corner
,
where
they
think
they
are
not
seen
.
Sancho's
Clownery
fetch'd
the
Blood
into
Madam
Doroty's
Cheeks
,
which
her
Modesty
could
not
prevent
.
For
true
it
was
,
that
D.
Ferdinand
would
sometimes
privately
attempt
to
reap
some
part
of
the
Harvest
of
their
mutual
Amours
;
which
,
Sancho
who
was
all
Chastity
himself
,
having
spy'd
by
chance
,
thought
such
a
Familiarity
rather
became
a
Curtesan
,
then
the
Queen
of
a
great
Kingdom
:
Besides
that
,
she
had
promis'd
her self
to
his
Master
upon
the
Recovery
of
her
Throne
;
and
therefore
he
was
of
Opinion
,
that
his
Master
might
deserve
the
first
Cut
for
so
great
a
piece
of
Service
.
However
,
Madam
,
Doroty
thought
it
not
fit
to
take
any
Cognizance
of
Sancho's
Information
;
she
could
answer
the
Allegorical
Knight
,
but
not
the
down-right
dunstable
Squire
:
And
therefore
Sancho
proceeding
;
That
which
obliges
me
,
Sir
,
to
this
Freedom
,
is
this
;
That
I
do
not
think
it
reasonable
,
after
we
have
rid
hard
,
fed
hard
,
lain
hard
,
and
suffer'd
all
the
Hards
,
but
drinking
hard
,
for
I
expect
nothing
but
an
empty
Celler
,
and
that
's
the
hardest
thing
of
all
;
I
say
,
after
you
ha'
slain
this
same
dismal
Giant
,
and
laid
him
as
dead
as
a
Pilchard
at
the
Princess's
Feet
,
as
ye
call
her
,
a
Bragadoshio
here
prickt
up
in
an
Inn
,
shall
enjoy
the
Fruits
of
all
our
Labour
and
Travel
:
And
therefore
I
say
there
's
no
such
haste
to
saddle
Rosinante
,
and
the
Queen's
Palfrey
,
nor
to
pannel
my
Ass
—
no
,
no
,
let
them
that
have
a
mind
to
the
Hare
,
beat
the
Bush
themselves
—
't
was
ne're
a
good
time
since
young
Women
gave
themselves
to
Idleness
—
and
therefore
let
every
Whore
to
her
Spinning-wheel
,
and
let
us
to
our
Victuals
.
Which
of
the
Muses
shall
I
now
invoke
to
aid
me
to
express
Don
Quixote's
unexpressible
Wrath
,
when
he
heard
this
insolent
Discourse
of
his
Squire
.
So
terrible
it
was
,
that
with
a
Face
like
Mount
Aetna
,
casting
forth
Fire
from
his
Eyes
,
and
breathing
forth
nothing
but
Smoke
and
Smother
from
his
Nostrils
,
with
a
Voice
of
Thunder
,
and
his
Words
crowding
out
of
his
Mouth
so
thick
,
as
if
he
had
been
born
in
Nutting-time
.
Ye
Baker-legg'd
,
Squint-ey'd
Hopper-ars'd
,
Monky-fac'd
,
ignorant
,
stupid
,
unmannerly
,
Ill-bred
,
saucy
,
soul-mouth'd
,
muttering
Puppy
,
Whelp
,
Hell-hound
,
Ribbal
,
Rogue
,
Hedge-bird
,
Hang-dog
,
Caitiff
,
Mongrel
,
Bruit
,
are
these
Blasphemies
for
thee
to
utter
i'
my
Presence
,
and
before
these
illustrious
Ladies
too
?
How
durst
thy
lewd
Imagination
harbour
such
abominable
Thoughts
as
these
?
Get
out
o'
my
sight
,
thou
Sink
of
Falshood
,
Store-house
of
Iniquity
,
Magazine
of
Imposture
,
Furnace
of
Mischief
,
Privy-house
of
Calumny
,
and
perfidious
Enemy
of
all
Breeding
and
good
Manners
.
Be
gone
,
I
say
,
under
Pain
of
my
just
and
heavy
Indignation
,
least
,
after
I
have
tormented
thee
,
like
another
Ravillack
,
I
crumble
thee
to
Attomes
,
and
scatter
thy
irreligious
Dust
to
the
four
Corners
of
the
World
.
And
having
so
said
,
he
knit
his
Brows
,
and
survey'd
every
Point
of
the
Compass
with
a
grim
and
direful
Aspect
,
and
with
his
right
Foot
stamp'd
at
that
rate
,
that
the
very
Earth
trembl'd
again
;
evident
Signs
of
the
implacable
Fury
that
inflam'd
his
Bowels
.
These
dreadful
,
terrible
,
dismal
,
furiband
Menaces
so
amaz'd
,
confounded
,
and
dismay'd
the
poor
disconsolate
Sancho
,
that
Benengeli
does
not
scruple
to
say
,
That
he
wish'd
with
all
his
heart
,
the
Earth
would
have
open'd
to
have
swallow'd
him
up
;
and
not
knowing
what
other
Course
to
take
,
he
shrugg'd
up
his
Shoulders
,
and
like
a
Dog
that
had
stole
a
Pudding
,
slunk
from
his
enraged
Master's
,
Presence
.
But
the
prudent
Madam
Doroty
,
who
had
sufficiently
study'd
Don
Quixote
,
to
know
his
Humour
,
by
way
of
Attonement
;
Never
,
said
she
,
Sir
Knight
of
the
Ill-favour'd
Countenance
,
let
the
Follies
of
your
Squire
provoke
your
Passion
to
so
high
a
degree
.
Perhaps
he
might
have
Reason
for
what
he
said
,
and
it
may
be
look'd
upon
as
a
Mark
of
his
good
Nature
and
his
Conscience
to
boot
,
that
he
attempted
to
advise
ye
for
your
own
good
,
which
frees
him
from
any
premeditated
Intention
to
prejudice
my
Reputation
.
And
therefore
we
are
to
believe
,
as
you
have
already
said
,
that
questionless
there
is
nothing
but
Enchantment
in
this
Castle
;
and
through
this
same
Diabolical
Delusion
it
was
,
that
Sancho
spoke
as
he
did
against
my
Honour
.
Now
by
the
Omnipotent
Mars
,
the
God
of
bloody
Battel
,
cry'd
Don
Quixote
,
your
Highness
has
found
it
out
—
My
life
for
yours
some
Necromantical
,
Satanical
Vision
has
troubl'd
the
Senses
of
this
miserable
Sinner
,
Sancho
,
and
has
caus'd
him
to
dream
those
Dreams
,
which
nothing
but
Enchantment
could
have
inspir'd
into
his
Brains
;
for
I
know
too
well
the
Simplicity
and
Innocence
of
that
silly
Wretch
,
to
think
he
has
Wit
enough
to
bear
false
Witness
against
a
Worm
.
It
must
of
necessity
be
as
you
say
,
reply'd
D.
Ferdinand
,
and
therefore
it
behoves
your
Honour
,
my
Lord
Don
Quixote
,
to
grant
him
your
free
Pardon
,
and
restore
him
to
the
Bosom
of
your
Favour
,
as
he
was
before
this
villanous
Vision
embroil'd
his
Understanding
.
I
pardon
him
,
cry'd
Don
Quixote
;
and
with
that
,
the
Curate
going
to
seek
for
Sancho
,
brought
him
again
into
his
Presence
;
who
immediately
prostrating
himself
at
his
Master's
Feet
,
begg'd
that
he
might
have
his
hand
to
kiss
,
which
his
Master
reach'd
him
forth
with
a
singular
Affability
,
and
then
giving
him
his
Benediction
to
boot
;
Son
Sancho
,
said
he
,
now
never
question
what
I
have
told
thee
so
often
,
that
all
things
are
manag'd
by
the
Devil
and
Enchantment
in
this
Castle
.
I
do
believe
it
,
reply'd
Sancho
,
nay
,
I
will
swear
it
too
,
whenever
I
shall
be
subpoena'd
:
For
I
find
that
I
speak
at
this
time
,
as
if
I
were
enchanted
my self
.
Only
I
except
the
business
of
the
Blanket
,
for
I'
m
sure
there
could
be
no
Enchantment
in
that
,
where
every
thing
was
done
according
to
the
ordinary
Course
of
Nature
.
Mistake
not
in
that
,
as
in
all
the
rest
,
reply'd
Don
Quixote
;
for
had
it
not
been
so
,
I
had
certainly
reveng'd
thy
Quarrel
,
and
would
do
it
still
;
but
I
could
not
do
it
then
,
neither
can
I
do
it
now
;
and
the
Reason
is
,
because
I
know
not
upon
whom
to
fix
my
Revenge
,
where
all
I
encounter
are
only
invisible
Bodies
.
This
made
all
the
Company
inquisitive
to
know
what
Sancho
meant
by
the
Blanket
.
Upon
which
the
Inn-keeper
having
given
a
true
and
faithful
Relation
of
the
whole
matter
of
Fact
,
the
Story
set
the
whole
Company
a
laughing
,
but
it
put
Sancho
into
such
a
Passion
,
that
he
had
like
to
ha'
fall'n
foul
upon
the
Inn-keeper
,
had
not
his
Master
once
again
assur'd
him
,
That
it
was
nothing
but
an
Act
of
Enchantment
;
to
which
Sancho
was
constrain'd
seemingly
to
submit
,
for
diverse
politick
Considerations
.
For
he
was
not
such
a
Fool
yet
,
as
to
believe
his
being
toss'd
i'
the
Blanket
,
to
be
an
Illusion
;
his
own
Sufferings
convincing
him
,
that
it
could
be
nothing
else
but
a
piece
of
Malice
executed
by
mortal
Men
,
compos'd
of
Flesh
and
Bones
.
Two
whole
Days
had
this
good
Company
now
spent
i'
the
Inn
,
and
therefore
deeming
it
high
time
to
depart
,
they
consulted
which
way
to
get
Don
Quixote
home
,
without
giving
D.
Ferdinand
and
Madam
Doroty
the
trouble
to
ride
out
of
their
way
,
in
pursuance
of
the
Frolick
of
restoring
the
Princess
of
Micomicon
to
her
Kingdom
.
To
which
purpose
many
Inventions
were
propounded
,
but
at
last
they
concluded
to
agree
with
a
Waggoner
that
was
coming
along
upon
the
Road
,
to
carry
him
home
in
his
Waggon
;
and
how
to
get
him
in
,
they
contriv'd
in
this
manner
.
They
made
a
kind
of
a
strong
woodden
Cage
,
so
large
that
a
Man
might
either
sit
or
lie
in
it
at
his
own
ease
.
Which
done
,
D.
Ferdinand
and
his
Friends
,
Cardenio
,
D.
Lewis's
Servants
,
the
Bailiffs
and
the
Inn-keeper
,
being
every
one
in
several
Disguises
,
according
to
the
Curate's
Direction
,
as
chief
Manager
of
the
Design
,
enter'd
Don
Quixote's
Chamber
,
like
so
many
Goblins
,
who
being
retir'd
to
rest
himself
after
his
toilsom
Extravagancies
,
lay
most
sweetly
folded
in
the
Arms
of
Morpheus
,
little
dreaming
of
the
Trap
that
was
preparing
for
him
.
In
this
Condition
they
swath'd
his
Arms
and
Hands
to
his
Sides
,
and
ty'd
his
Legs
,
as
you
see
in
your
Crape-Shrowd
Signs
,
to
prevent
all
manner
of
Horse-play
.
They
had
no
sooner
finish'd
their
Work
but
Don
Quixote
wak'd
,
and
finding
himself
unable
to
stir
Hand
or
Foot
,
and
besides
that
,
being
surrounded
with
such
a
strange
Guard
of
Goblins
and
Hobthrushes
,
he
was
strangely
confounded
in
his
Imagination
;
but
being
fully
waken'd
by
his
Fears
,
he
call'd
to
mind
that
he
was
in
an
inchanted
Castle
,
and
now
thinking
himself
in
the
middle
of
all
the
whole
Legion
;
his
Breech
made
Buttons
,
as
being
in
a
deadly
Quandary
what
they
intended
to
do
with
him
,
especially
perceiving
himself
so
absolutely
at
the
Devil's
Mercy
.
Sancho
beheld
all
this
,
the
only
person
of
all
the
Company
undisguis'd
in
his
Habit
;
and
so
far
too
in
his
Senses
,
as
to
believe
there
was
a
Design
upon
his
Master
,
not
of
Enchantment
,
but
of
Waggery
,
if
't
were
no
worse
.
But
having
been
so
dismally
snubb'd
by
his
Master
so
lately
before
,
he
durst
not
say
a
Word
,
till
he
could
make
some
Discovery
whither
the
Contrivance
tended
:
Besides
,
he
saw
his
Master
was
quiet
,
and
wherefore
,
thought
he
,
should
I
disturb
him
.
Indeed
Benengeli
the
Historian
saies
he
began
to
stink
a
little
;
which
was
the
Reason
that
the
Goblins
hasten'd
to
send
for
his
Close-stool
;
where
,
after
they
had
nail'd
him
so
fast
,
that
't
was
impossible
for
him
in
his
Condition
to
break
loose
,
unless
he
would
ha'
ventur'd
the
Death
of
Bajazet
,
they
took
him
upon
their
Shoulders
.
But
just
as
they
were
going
out
of
the
Chamber
,
they
heard
a
Voice
,
like
the
sound
of
a
deep
Base
,
roaring
through
a
speaking-Trumpet
,
which
made
'em
set
down
their
Load
again
,
to
give
Attention
to
the
thundering
Utterer
,
who
rumbl'd
forth
these
Words
:
Sir
Knight
of
the
ill-favour'd
Countenance
,
wonder
not
at
thy
Captiviy
,
for
't
is
no
more
then
what
by
Fate's
Decree
must
needs
befall
thee
,
to
the
end
the
desperate
Adventure
,
wherein
thy
matchless
Courage
has
engag'd
thee
,
may
the
sooner
be
accomplish'd
.
The
end
of
this
renowned
Adventure
shall
be
known
,
when
the
furious
Lion
of
Mancha
,
and
the
Milk-white
Turtle
of
Toboso
shall
delight
each
other
with
the
Busses
of
Matrimony
,
and
humble
their
Princely
Necks
under
the
tender
Yoke
of
Wedlock
.
From
whose
Embraces
shall
spring
two
Lions
Whelps
,
whose
rampant
Claws
shall
trace
the
unimitable
Foot-steps
of
their
invincible
Father
.
And
this
shall
be
before
the
lovely
Chacer
of
the
fugitive
Nymph
in
his
natural
and
rapid
Course
,
has
three
times
parlied
with
the
Northern
Constellations
,
and
bless'd
the
Samoeds
with
Daylight
.
And
thou
the
most
noble
and
obsequious
Squire
that
e're
handl'd
glittering
Sword
,
that
ever
wore
Spade-beard
upon
his
Chin
,
or
Sence
of
Smelling
in
his
Nostrils
,
grieve
not
to
see
thus
hurry'd
away
before
thy
Eyes
,
the
Flower
and
Cream
of
Chivalry-Errant
;
for
before
a
certain
number
of
Moons
,
thou
shalt
behold
thy self
exalted
to
that
subblime
Degree
,
that
thou
shalt
seek
,
and
yet
not
find
thy self
;
while
thou
enjoy'st
in
peace
the
absolute
Infallibility
of
thy
Lord's
most
faithful
Promises
.
Once
more
I
assure
thee
,
in
the
Name
of
the
fam'd
Inchantress
Telladam'dlya
,
that
thy
Herculean
Labours
shall
not
remain
unrecompenc'd
;
but
that
thou
shalt
find
all
thy
past
Sufferings
water'd
with
the
fertile
dew
of
thy
long
expected
Wages
and
Sallary
.
Go
then
,
Celestial
Squire
,
pursue
the
Foot-steps
of
thy
most
valiant
and
enchanted
Knight
;
for
it
behoves
thee
to
attend
him
,
till
both
of
ye
attain
the
Goal
prescrib'd
by
Destiny
;
and
now
because
I
am
allow'd
to
say
no
more
,
farewel
;
while
I
return
to
Regions
far
remote
,
unknown
to
all
the
World
beside
.
Toward
the
end
of
this
Prophesie
,
Mr.
Nicholas
slacken'd
his
Tone
with
such
an
Oracular
Delivery
,
that
they
who
were
privy
to
the
Imposture
,
began
themselves
to
be
surpriz'd
,
and
aw'd
by
an
Illusion
of
their
own
Contrivance
;
so
easie
it
is
for
Superstition
to
couzen
it self
.
But
as
for
Don
Quixote
,
all
his
Fears
were
scatter'd
by
the
vain
Promises
of
the
delusive
Oracle
;
for
he
had
presently
forg'd
a
Pick-lock
for
all
the
dark
Sayings
of
it
,
and
had
found
it
out
,
most
happy
Man
now
he
,
in
his
fond
Imaginations
,
that
the
time
was
shortly
coming
,
that
should
tie
him
to
his
dear
and
well-beloved
Dulcinea
,
with
the
Weaver's
Knots
of
lawful
Matrimony
,
whose
fertile
Womb
should
bring
into
the
World
a
Race
of
young
Lions
,
to
the
perpetual
Honour
of
Mancha
.
And
believing
all
this
with
as
implicite
a
Faith
,
as
he
did
his
Books
of
Knight-Errantry
,
he
fetch'd
a
deep
Sigh
from
the
bottom
of
his
Diaphragma
,
and
with
a
loud
and
sonorous
Voice
;
O
thou
,
cry'd
he
,
whoe're
thou
art
,
who
hast
fore-told
me
these
glad
Tidings
,
conjure
,
I
beseech
thee
,
in
my
Name
,
the
sage
Necromancer
that
manages
my
Affairs
;
not
to
suffer
me
to
perish
in
this
Prison
wherein
they
have
enclos'd
me
,
till
I
see
those
incomparable
Promises
thou
hast
made
me
successfully
fulfill'd
;
and
then
I
shall
glory
in
my
Captivity
,
and
rejoyce
in
the
Chains
that
fetter
my
Arms
,
so
far
from
thinking
this
a
place
of
Hardship
to
which
I
am
confin'd
,
that
I
shall
esteem
it
more
soft
then
the
delicious
Down
of
my
Nuptial
Bed
.
And
for
the
Pains
thou
hast
tak'n
to
chear
and
revive
my
disconsolate
Squire
Sancho
,
I
return
thee
hearty
Thanks
;
having
that
Confidence
in
his
Fidelity
and
Affection
,
that
he
will
never
forsake
me
,
no
not
in
my
lowest
Adversity
;
for
that
tho
Fortune
should
be
so
froppish
,
as
to
deny
me
the
Power
of
conferring
upon
him
the
promis'd
Island
,
he
is
secur'd
of
his
Salary
by
a
Mortgage
I
ha'
made
him
.
Which
Bounty
and
Goodness
of
his
Master
so
mollify'd
Sancho's
tender
and
affectionate
Heart
,
that
he
bow'd
his
head
,
and
beslabber'd
both
his
Master's
hands
;
for
one
he
could
not
singly
kiss
,
as
they
were
coupl'd
together
.
But
the
Goblins
being
in
haste
would
not
admit
of
long
Complements
,
but
at
the
same
time
took
up
the
Cage
,
and
having
heav'd
it
up
into
the
Waggon
,
fix'd
it
there
among
the
rest
of
the
Lumber
.
CHAP.
XX
.
Containing
several
Occurrences
.
DON
Quixote
seeing
himself
thus
encag'd
and
perch'd
up
i'
the
Waggon
,
after
a
short
brown
Study
and
Examination
of
his
Memory
;
I
have
read
,
said
he
,
a
hundred
Books
of
Knight-Errantry
i'
my
time
,
but
I
never
read
,
nor
saw
,
nor
heard
that
ever
inchanted
Knights
were
carry'd
after
this
manner
,
and
at
the
lazy
rate
that
these
heavy
,
and
sloathful
Animals
travel
.
For
they
were
wont
to
be
whirl'd
away
i'
the
Air
with
an
unspeakable
Swiftness
,
envelopp'd
in
some
dark
Cloud
,
or
in
a
fiery
Chariot
,
or
upon
a
Hippo-Griffin
,
or
a
Pacolet's
Horse
,
or
some
such
kind
of
swift
Monster
,
and
not
in
a
paltry
West
country
Wain
,
tugg'd
along
by
a
pin-buttock'd
Team
of
sluggish
cloven-footed
Oxen
;
(
I
wish
the
Waggoner's
Hoofs
may
not
be
of
the
same
shape
.
)
How
confoundedly
asham'd
am
I
now
,
to
sit
here
with
a
Company
of
Country
Trulls
going
to
the
next
good
City
to
be
pick'd
up
for
Whores
and
Serving-maids
?
But
it
may
be
,
modern
Chivalry
and
Enchantments
do
not
observe
the
ancient
Laws
and
Customs
;
and
perhaps
,
because
I
am
a
new
Knight
,
and
the
first
that
in
this
Age
has
reviv'd
the
Exercise
of
Chivalry-Errant
,
for
a
long
time
quite
bury'd
in
Oblivion
,
they
have
invented
,
for
my
sake
,
new
sorts
of
Enchantments
,
and
new
ways
to
coach
their
inchanted
Knights
.
What
think'st
thou
,
Friend
Sancho
?
I
know
not
what
to
think
,
reply'd
Sancho
,
for
I
never
read
so
many
Books
of
Knight-Errantry
,
as
your
Worship
has
done
;
but
this
I
dare
swear
,
that
all
these
Goblins
that
surround
us
,
are
no
Catholicks
,
as
we
are
,
nor
go
to
Church
as
we
do
.
Catholicks
,
ye
Fool
!
quo
Don
Quixote
,
How
should
they
be
Catholicks
,
and
serve
God
,
who
are
only
Spirits
that
have
dress'd
themselves
in
human
Shapes
,
a
purpose
to
do
me
this
Kindness
.
But
if
thou
hast
a
mind
to
be
convinc'd
of
the
truth
thy self
,
feel
'em
,
and
handle
'em
,
Sancho
,
and
thou
shalt
find
'em
to
be
nothing
but
Air
,
that
have
only
the
Appearance
of
Bodies
.
God's-fish
,
Sir
,
if
that
be
all
,
I
ha'
handl'd
'em
already
,
with
a
Witness
;
and
this
same
very
Devil
that
gives
you
all
this
Trouble
,
I
can
tell
ye
,
is
one
that
has
more
Flesh
then
Sawce
,
he
's
as
plump
as
a
Partridge
;
nor
do
I
believe
he
maintains
those
smooth
Cheeks
of
his
,
by
feeding
upon
the
Wind
;
besides
another
Property
which
he
has
,
quite
different
from
all
the
Properties
of
Spirits
,
I
mean
your
Inn-haunting
Spirits
.
For
whereas
they
always
smell
of
Sulphur
,
and
Brimstone
,
and
Assa
foetida
,
this
Devil
smells
of
Amber
and
Musk
half
a
League
off
.
This
he
spoke
of
D.
Ferdinand
,
who
being
a
great
Personage
,
and
still
i'
the
Fashion
,
or
it
might
be
for
other
Reasons
best
known
to
himself
,
went
always
richly
perfum'd
.
Ne're
wonder
at
that
,
Friend
Sancho
,
quo
Don
Quixote
,
for
the
Devils
are
cunninger
then
thou
art
aware
of
;
and
tho
't
is
true
,
they
generally
smell
of
Brimstone
and
Gun-powder
,
yet
they
can
deceive
the
Nose
as
well
as
the
Eye
.
And
therefore
it
is
,
that
this
Devil
,
knowing
what
a
prying
Devil
thou
art
,
has
perfum'd
himself
with
Amber
and
Essence
of
Jessomy
,
that
thou
shouldst
not
take
him
to
be
what
he
is
.
During
this
Discourse
between
the
Master
and
the
Man
,
D.
Ferdinand
and
Cardenio
,
fearing
lest
Don
Quixote
should
discover
the
Cheat
,
resolv'd
to
hast'n
his
Departure
.
To
which
purpose
they
order'd
the
Host
to
saddle
Rosinante
,
and
pannel
Sancho's
Ass
;
and
the
Curate
agreed
with
the
Bailiffs
to
accompany
the
enchanted
Knight
to
his
own
Village
.
Cardenio
fasten'd
the
Bason
and
the
Target
to
the
Pommel
of
Rosinante's
Saddle
,
the
Bason
a'
won
side
,
and
the
Target
o'
t'other
;
withal
,
giving
order
to
Sancho
to
lead
the
Horse
,
and
ride
before
upon
his
own
Ass
,
while
the
two
Bailiffs
rode
by
the
Waggon
.
But
before
the
Oxen
set
forward
,
the
Hostess
,
her
Daughter
,
and
Maritornes
came
forth
to
take
their
leave
of
Don
Quixote
,
pretending
a
more
then
ordinary
Sorrow
for
his
Misfortune
.
To
whom
Don
Quixote
,
Grieve
not
,
most
illustrious
Ladies
,
said
he
;
such
Accidents
as
these
are
always
entail'd
upon
the
Calling
which
I
profess
;
and
if
they
did
not
befal
me
,
I
should
not
think
my self
a
true
Knight-Errant
;
for
that
the
like
Misfortunes
never
happen
to
Knights
of
little
Fame
,
and
mean
Reputation
,
who
live
unthought
of
in
that
Obscurity
where
they
bury
themselves
.
Therefore
such
Mishaps
as
these
are
the
Inheritance
of
Knights
renowned
,
whose
Valour
and
Vertue
is
both
envy'd
and
fear'd
by
several
Princes
;
and
other
Knights
,
who
,
not
able
to
surmount
,
or
equalize
their
Merit
,
basely
and
treacherously
seek
their
Ruin
.
But
Vertue
is
of
her self
so
powerful
,
that
in
despite
of
all
the
Magick
that
ever
Zoroastres
invented
,
she
vanquishes
and
subdues
all
Obstacles
,
and
displays
her
glorious
Beams
upon
the
Earth
,
with
equal
Lustre
to
the
Sun
in
Heaven
.
Pardon
me
,
Ladies
,
I
beseech
ye
,
pardon
me
,
if
ever
through
Ignorance
,
or
unwittingly
I
offended
Persons
of
your
Quality
;
for
sure
I
am
,
that
of
my
own
Knowledge
and
Malice
afore-thought
,
I
never
injur'd
a
Fly
.
And
therefore
let
me
beg
your
Prayers
to
Heaven
for
my
Deliverance
from
this
unsanctify'd
Imprisonment
,
wherein
I
am
thus
enclos'd
through
the
Treachery
of
some
malicious
Necromancer
envious
of
my
Glory
;
from
whence
when
my
good
Fortune
and
your
Devotion
shall
have
set
me
free
,
I
shall
never
forget
the
Favours
I
have
receiv'd
in
your
Castle
,
so
deeply
engrav'd
in
my
Remembrance
,
that
time
shall
never
deface
those
Acknowledgments
that
oblige
me
to
repay
with
the
utmost
of
my
Services
,
either
a
foot
or
a
horse-back
,
the
several
Kindnesses
you
ha'
done
me
.
While
Don
Quixote
was
thus
complementing
the
Ladies
of
the
Castle
,
as
he
call'd
'em
,
the
Curate
and
Mr.
Nicholas
took
their
leaves
of
all
the
Company
,
both
the
Men
and
the
Ladies
,
more
especially
of
Madam
Dorothy
and
Mrs.
Lucinda
,
with
whom
they
had
been
some
time
longer
acquainted
.
On
the
other
side
,
D.
Ferdinand
engag'd
the
Curate
to
give
him
a
weekly
Account
of
his
Patient
Don
Quixote
,
making
no
question
,
but
that
there
still
remain'd
some
pleasant
Conceits
behind
,
which
would
be
sufficient
matter
of
farther
Divertisement
;
and
being
desirous
withal
to
hear
the
end
of
such
a
merry
piece
of
Extravagance
,
much
more
delightful
and
profitable
then
either
the
Weekly
Packet
of
Advice
,
or
the
History
of
Gresham
Colledge
.
And
now
being
just
ready
to
depart
,
the
Inn-keeper
presented
the
Curate
with
the
rest
of
the
Papers
which
were
in
the
Cloke-bag
,
where
he
found
the
History
of
the
Curious
Impertinent
,
for
that
he
believ'd
the
Owner
,
that
Poet-like
,
had
pawn'd
his
Wit
for
his
Reckoning
,
would
never
call
for
'em
again
.
The
Curate
thank'd
him
,
and
presently
looking
'em
slightly
over
,
cast
his
Eye
upon
one
short
Manuscript
,
entitled
,
The
History
of
Rinconet
and
Cortadillo
,
which
he
thought
could
not
be
amiss
,
since
the
Novel
of
the
Curious
Impertinent
had
pleas'd
so
well
.
Soon
after
,
the
Curate
and
Mr.
Nicholas
took
Horse
,
with
their
Faces
mask'd
,
for
fear
of
being
known
by
Don
Quixote
,
and
follow'd
close
behind
the
Waggon
,
which
was
guarded
as
we
told
ye
before
.
Thus
this
illustrous
Train
jogg'd
on
with
a
grave
and
majestick
Pace
;
a
Pace
that
seem'd
to
boad
our
Hero
all
future
Prosperity
and
Triumph
,
by
the
stately
March
of
the
Procession
:
The
Priestess
of
Cybele
never
rode
with
more
Solemnity
,
when
drawn
by
her
two
Sons
to
the
Temple
.
As
for
Don
Quixote
,
he
lay
all
along
at
his
Ease
,
leaning
his
Head
against
the
wooden
Bars
,
with
his
Hands
ty'd
,
and
his
Legs
stretch'd
out
,
so
silent
,
so
quiet
,
and
so
patient
,
that
you
wou'd
ha'
sworn
some
Knight-Templar's
Tomb
had
been
removing
,
Spikes
and
all
,
out
of
some
Cathedral
to
the
Place
of
his
Nativity
.
In
this
Posture
they
had
measur'd
about
two
Leagues
,
till
they
came
to
a
Valley
where
the
Waggoner
would
needs
have
baited
his
Horses
;
but
being
inform'd
by
Mr.
Nicholas
,
that
there
was
another
Valley
a
little
farther
,
where
there
was
both
more
and
better
Grass
,
he
drove
on
.
At
what
time
they
were
over-tak'n
by
six
or
seven
Persons
well
mounted
,
and
who
,
by
their
haste
,
seem'd
desirous
to
get
to
their
Inn
in
good
time
.
Both
Parties
gave
each
other
the
time
o'
the
day
;
but
then
the
chief
of
the
Company
,
who
seem'd
to
be
a
Prebend
of
some
Cathedral
at
least
,
by
the
Respect
which
the
others
gave
him
,
observing
such
an
orderly
Procession
,
which
he
had
never
seen
in
his
Life
,
and
a
Man
enclos'd
in
a
Cage
,
could
not
forbear
to
ask
the
meaning
of
the
Solemnity
,
and
what
monstrous
Canary-Bird
it
was
,
so
safely
lock'd
up
i'
the
Cage
;
believing
,
because
he
saw
the
Sheriffs
Officers
,
that
he
was
some
desperate
High-way-man
,
whom
they
were
carrying
in
that
manner
to
Jayle
.
Sir
,
said
the
Bailiff
,
you
must
e'en
ask
the
Knight
i'
the
Cage
himself
,
for
we
know
nothing
o'
the
matter
.
But
there
was
no
need
o'
that
;
for
Don
Quixote
having
heard
the
Question
started
;
Sir
Knights
,
in
short
,
quo
he
,
Did
ye
ever
read
,
or
d'
ye
understand
any
thing
of
Knight-Errantry
?
For
if
ye
do
,
then
will
ye
easily
apprehend
the
Reason
of
my
Misfortunes
—
But
if
ye
don't
,
't
will
be
an
idle
thing
for
me
to
trouble
my
Brains
to
better
your
Information
with
Mysteries
above
your
Reach
.
Why
,
truly
honest
Friend
,
reply'd
the
Prebend
,
I
ha'
been
a
young
Man
i'
my
time
,
and
then
I
study'd
Knight-Errantry
much
more
then
either
Keckerman
or
Burgersdicius
,
to
my
Praise
be
it
spoken
;
and
therefore
if
that
be
all
,
you
cannot
impart
your
Distresses
to
a
Person
that
may
do
ye
more
Kindness
.
You
say
very
well
,
reply'd
Don
Quixote
;
then
know
that
I
am
shut
up
i'
this
Cage
by
Inchantment
,
through
the
Malice
and
Treachery
of
some
cursed
Necromancer
;
Vertue
being
always
more
vigorously
persecuted
by
the
Wicked
,
then
belov'd
and
supported
by
honest
Men
.
I
am
a
Knight-Errant
,
not
in
the
number
of
those
,
of
whom
Fame
takes
little
Cognizance
,
and
less
Care
to
eternize
their
Memories
;
but
of
those
that
in
despite
of
Envy
her self
,
and
all
the
Magicians
of
Persia
,
the
Brachmans
of
India
,
the
Gymnosophists
of
Aethiopia
,
and
the
Figure-casters
of
London
City
,
leave
their
Names
,
and
their
Exploits
engrav'd
in
the
Temple
of
Immortality
,
to
serve
as
Rules
,
Examples
and
Models
for
all
Knight-Errants
,
who
ever
intend
to
climb
the
Pinnacle
of
Honour
won
by
feats
of
Arms.
't
is
very
true
,
reply'd
the
Curate
,
the
Lord
Don
Quixote
is
enchanted
in
this
Waggon
,
not
through
any
Fault
of
his
own
,
but
by
the
wicked
Contrivances
,
Surprize
,
and
unjust
Violences
of
those
that
repine
at
his
Valour
and
his
Vertue
.
This
is
the
Knight
of
the
Ill-favour'd
Countenance
,
of
whom
you
must
have
heard
e're
now
,
whose
Heroick
Exploits
,
and
unheard
of
Atchievements
will
remain
to
Posterity
,
inscrib'd
in
durable
Marble
,
and
eternal
Brass
,
maugre
all
the
Attempts
of
Malice
to
deface
,
or
Envy
to
tarnish
their
unspotted
Glory
.
The
Prebend
and
his
Company
were
so
amaz'd
to
hear
that
the
Parson
at
Liberty
should
talk
at
the
same
extravagant
rate
as
the
Man
i'
the
Woodden-Cage
,
that
they
could
not
tell
what
to
imagine
of
such
a
piece
of
Distraction
.
But
Sancho
having
heard
the
whole
Discourse
,
full
of
Discontent
,
mad
in
his
Mind
,
disturb'd
in
his
Thoughts
,
and
therefore
resolving
to
unfold
a
Mystery
so
prejudicial
to
his
Interests
;
Gentlemen
,
quo
he
,
I
have
a
weak
Conscience
,
and
therefore
offended
or
pleas'd
,
't
is
all
one
to
me
,
I'
m
resolv'd
to
tell
ye
the
whole
Truth
.
Now
the
Truth
is
,
That
my
Lord
Don
Quixote
is
as
much
enchanted
,
as
my
Mother
was
enchanted
when
my
Father
begot
me
.
He
has
all
his
Senses
entire
,
and
his
Judgment
sound
;
he
eates
and
drinks
,
sleeps
and
talks
,
and
goes
to
Stool
like
other
Men
,
and
as
he
did
before
he
was
put
i'
the
Cage
.
Which
being
so
,
how
dare
they
pretend
to
make
us
believe
him
to
be
enchanted
?
As
if
I
did
not
know
,
that
they
who
are
enchanted
never
eat
,
nor
sleep
,
nor
talk
,
and
yet
I
'le
venture
the
Price
o'
my
Ass
,
that
do
but
put
my
Master
to
't
,
and
he
shall
out-bawl
ten
young
Nisi-prius
Counsellors
.
And
at
the
same
time
addressing
himself
to
the
Curate
;
Ah
,
Mr.
Curate
,
Mr.
Curate
,
said
he
!
do
you
think
I
don't
know
ye
,
or
understand
whither
your
Enchantments
tend
?
You
may
hide
your
sweet
Countenance
as
long
as
ye
please
,
I
know
ye
as
well
as
I
know
my
own
Ass
;
and
through
all
your
Visors
,
and
your
Masquerades
,
I
am
not
such
a
Fool
,
but
I
can
discover
your
Cheats
and
Deceits
,
your
Wiles
,
and
your
Tricks
.
But
I
find
now
where
the
Wind
blows
;
where
Envy
reigns
,
there
's
no
abiding
for
Vertue
;
where
Poverty
and
Scarcity
,
there
can
be
no
Munificence
.
Now
the
Devil
take
the
Devil
,
and
God
pardon
us
all
together
,
you
for
your
Sins
,
and
me
for
mine
.
For
had
it
not
been
for
your
Worship
,
pox
o'
your
Preferment
,
my
Master
had
e're
now
been
marry'd
to
the
Princess
of
Micomicon
,
and
I
had
been
a
Count
at
least
,
as
being
the
smallest
thing
I
could
expect
from
the
Liberality
of
the
Knight
of
the
Ill-favour'd
Countenance
,
and
the
Merits
of
my
own
Services
.
But
I
find
the
Wheel
of
Fortune
turns
more
swiftly
round
,
then
a
Mill-wheel
;
they
who
yesterday
sate
upon
the
Pinacle
,
lie
to
day
i'
the
Durt
.
I
am
only
troubl'd
for
my
Wife
and
Children
,
who
will
be
strangely
disappointed
in
their
Hopes
,
to
see
me
return
home
no
more
then
a
poor
Groom
,
when
they
expected
me
no
less
then
a
Vice-roy
,
or
the
Governour
of
some
great
Island
.
I
only
preach
this
,
Mr.
Curate
,
to
your
Dry-vinity
,
to
mind
ye
of
being
a
little
conscionable
in
abusing
my
Master
,
for
fear
of
being
call'd
to
a
strict
Account
both
in
this
and
the
other
World
,
for
the
good
which
you
prevent
him
from
doing
,
as
well
in
succouring
the
Afflicted
,
as
in
punishing
the
Violence
of
unjust
Oppressours
.
Prate-roast
,
keep
your
Breath
to
cool
your
Porridge
,
quo
the
Barber
,
what
,
are
you
one
of
your
Master's
Fraternity
?
By
the
Lord
Harry
,
I
cou'd
find
i'
my
Heart
to
have
thee
inchanted
too
,
and
coop'd
up
with
thy
Master
,
as
a
Member
of
Chivalry
.
Your
Changelingship
is
with
Child
of
an
Island
,
I
hear
—
but
I
'le
send
ye
a
Midwife
,
y'
faith
.
I
am
with
Child
by
no
body
,
reply'd
Sancho
in
a
deadly
Chafe
,
nor
am
I
to
be
got
with
Child
by
any
person
living
,
tho
't
were
the
King
himself
:
Tho
I
am
poor
,
I
am
honest
;
I
am
an
old
Christian
,
and
out
of
Debt
.
What
if
I
do
desire
an
Island
?
There
are
Parsons
and
Barbers
too
have
been
more
extravagantly
desirous
then
so
—
I
tell
ye
—
every
Man
is
the
Son
of
his
own
Works
;
and
therefore
he
that
is
a
Man
,
may
be
a
Pope
for
ought
any
body
knows
,
much
more
easily
the
Governour
of
an
Island
,
especially
when
my
Master
has
won
so
many
,
that
he
shan't
know
where
to
bestow
'
em
.
Therefore
,
good
Mr.
Barber
,
rule
your
unruly
Tonsor's
Tongue
;
we
are
not
now
talking
of
Wash-balls
and
Razors
—
We
understand
our selves
a
little
,
God
be
thanked
,
and
we
can
tell
the
difference
between
Peter
and
Peter
;
not
all
Fellows
at
Foot-ball
,
good
Mr.
Barber
.
As
for
my
Master's
being
enchanted
,
as
ye
call
it
,
there
's
one
above
knows
all
things
;
and
therefore
let
it
rest
,
and
say
no
more
of
it
,
lest
the
more
you
stir
it
,
the
more
it
stink
.
The
Barber
,
fearing
Sancho's
Discoveries
,
thought
it
his
wisest
Course
to
make
him
no
Answer
.
And
the
same
Fears
possessing
the
Curate
,
he
led
the
way
before
with
the
Prebend
;
and
as
he
rode
along
,
gave
him
a
full
Account
of
the
Mystery
of
the
Cage
:
He
also
inform'd
him
of
the
Condition
of
the
Knight
,
his
manner
of
living
,
and
his
Inclinations
;
succinctly
recounting
to
him
the
Beginning
and
Cause
of
his
extravagant
Dotages
,
and
how
they
were
getting
him
home
,
with
a
Resolution
to
try
whether
his
Follies
would
admit
of
Cure
.
The
Prebend
and
his
Company
listen'd
with
Admiration
to
the
Story
of
Don
Quixote
;
and
when
the
Curate
had
made
an
end
;
In
good
sooth
,
Sir
,
said
the
Prebend
,
I
find
your
Books
of
Knight-Errantry
and
your
Romances
,
are
not
only
unprofitable
,
but
also
very
prejudicial
to
a
Common
wealth
;
and
tho
I
began
to
read
almost
all
that
are
printed
,
I
could
never
yet
find
i'
my
heart
to
read
any
one
quite
through
;
for
me-thinks
't
is
still
the
same
thing
,
and
there
is
nothing
to
be
learnt
more
in
one
then
in
another
.
The
whole
Composition
and
Stile
resembles
that
of
the
Milesian
Fables
,
which
are
only
a
Company
of
idle
Stories
made
only
for
Pastime
,
far
different
from
those
moral
and
significant
Apologues
,
contriv'd
as
well
for
Instruction
as
Delight
I
would
fain
know
what
Neatness
or
Proportion
there
is
of
the
parts
to
the
whole
,
or
of
the
whole
to
the
parts
in
a
Picture
,
where
a
young
Stripling
of
seventeen
,
with
a
back-blow
divides
a
vast
Giant
i'
the
middle
,
tho
as
tall
as
a
Steeple
,
with
as
much
ease
as
to
chop
a
pickl'd
Gerkin
in
halves
?
Or
who
can
believe
that
a
single
Knight
should
be
able
to
vanquish
a
million
of
Enemies
,
without
losing
a
Drop
of
Blood
?
And
is
it
not
a
wonderful
thing
,
that
a
great
Queen
,
or
the
Heiress
to
an
Empire
,
should
at
first
sight
entrust
all
her
weighty
Concerns
with
the
first
Knight-Errant
she
meets
with
?
What
man
that
was
born
with
a
Grain
of
Sense
,
can
be
so
stupid
,
as
to
read
with
any
delightful
Satisfaction
,
a
Story
of
a
Stone
Tower
full
of
Knights
that
swam
as
nimbly
in
the
Sea
,
as
a
Fourth-rate
Frigat
with
a
fresh
Gale
;
and
that
this
Tower
was
seen
upon
the
Coast
of
Genoa
in
the
Evening
,
but
by
break
of
Day
next
Morning
should
be
landed
in
Ethiopia
,
or
the
East-Indies
,
or
some
other
Country
which
Ptolemy
never
heard
of
,
nor
T.
Coriate
ever
travell'd
.
It
may
be
said
,
that
these
Authors
designing
nothing
but
Fable
,
are
not
oblig'd
to
such
a
strict
Observation
of
Decorum
;
as
if
a
Lye
could
be
pleasant
that
does
not
in
some
measure
border
upon
Truth
;
or
that
Adventures
could
be
delightful
,
where
there
is
not
something
disputable
and
seemingly
possible
.
For
Fables
ought
to
be
so
compos'd
,
as
to
win
upon
an
unbelieving
Reader
,
by
rendring
Impossibilities
only
difficult
,
levelling
the
mountainous
height
of
Difficulties
,
and
by
keeping
the
Mind
in
a
charming
Suspence
,
where
Wonder
and
Delight
walk
,
as
it
were
,
hand
in
hand
together
:
which
is
the
Perfection
of
a
Romance
,
and
never
to
be
met
with
,
but
where
there
is
some
Shadow
of
Probability
.
I
never
saw
that
Book
of
Knight-Errantry
wherein
the
Body
of
the
Fable
is
truly
compos'd
and
set
together
with
all
its
Members
,
so
as
to
make
the
middle
cohere
with
the
beginning
;
but
rather
consisting
always
of
so
many
mishap'n
Limbs
,
as
if
the
Author
had
design'd
the
framing
some
strange
Monster
or
Chimera
,
rather
then
any
proportionate
Figure
:
And
besides
that
,
their
stile
is
harsh
and
barbarous
,
their
Adventures
are
incredible
,
their
Amours
lascivious
,
and
their
Lovers
indiscreet
.
They
are
tedious
in
their
Description
of
Combats
,
ignorant
in
their
Geography
,
and
impertinent
in
their
Discourses
.
In
a
word
,
they
have
neither
Learning
,
nor
Art
,
nor
good
Conduct
;
and
therefore
fit
for
nothing
but
to
be
exterminated
out
of
a
Christian
Common-wealth
,
as
unprofitable
and
prejudicial
to
the
Publick
.
The
Curate
having
listen'd
with
Attention
to
the
Prebend
,
and
finding
him
a
Man
of
Sense
,
told
him
,
He
was
clearly
of
his
Opinion
;
and
withal
,
that
out
of
a
particular
Aversion
to
Books
of
Knight-Errantry
,
he
had
caus'd
all
Don
Quixote's
numerous
Legends
to
be
burnt
;
as
also
after
what
manner
he
had
brought
'em
to
their
Tryal
,
and
condemn'd
them
to
the
Fire
;
the
Reasons
why
he
had
repriev'd
some
few
,
and
what
was
Don
Quixote's
Fancy
upon
the
loss
of
his
Library
;
which
was
Sport
alone
for
the
Prebend
and
his
Company
.
However
,
reply'd
the
Prebend
,
after
all
that
I
have
said
concerning
these
Books
,
there
is
in
a
right
Management
of
a
probable
Romance
,
a
large
Field
for
a
person
of
Wit
and
understanding
to
exercise
his
Parts
,
whether
in
the
Descriptions
of
Tempests
,
or
Shipwracks
,
or
well
fought
Battels
,
or
in
the
depainting
forth
a
great
Captain
,
with
all
those
admirable
Qualities
that
make
him
such
,
as
Vigilance
,
Fore-sight
,
Eloquence
,
Prudence
,
and
Experience
in
Counsel
,
Quickness
in
Execution
,
and
Presence
of
Mind
in
Danger
;
or
at
other
times
in
describing
some
mournful
and
tragical
Event
,
sometimes
some
pleasing
and
unexpected
Adventure
;
sometimes
some
illustrious
and
beautiful
Lady
,
with
all
her
Ornaments
of
Chastity
,
Discretion
,
and
Reserv'dness
;
at
another
time
,
some
noble
Knight
,
couragious
,
active
and
liberal
;
and
by
and
by
another
,
no
less
haughty
,
insolent
and
rash
;
at
another
time
,
some
prudent
and
moderate
Prince
,
that
only
seeks
the
good
of
his
Subjects
,
and
shews
himself
always
ready
to
reward
their
zealous
and
affectionate
Services
.
Upon
these
Subjects
an
Author
has
a
great
Advantage
to
shew
his
Learning
in
all
manner
of
Arts
and
Sciences
,
in
Philosophy
,
Morality
,
and
Politicks
,
while
he
attributes
to
his
Hero's
,
the
Wit
and
Eloquence
of
Ulysses
,
the
Piety
of
Aeneas
,
the
Valour
of
Achilles
,
the
Friendship
of
Euriolus
,
the
Valour
and
Prudence
of
Caesar
,
the
Clemency
of
Augustus
,
the
Truth
of
Trajan
,
the
Fidelity
of
Zopyras
,
and
the
Wisdom
of
Cato
;
and
in
a
Word
,
adorns
and
furnishes
'em
with
all
those
pregnant
Grandeurs
of
a
humane
Soul
that
render
a
man
illustrious
i'
the
World
.
For
by
this
means
,
in
a
pure
and
natural
Stile
,
and
with
an
Invention
and
Art
still
careful
to
preserve
Decorum
and
Probability
,
he
may
be
able
to
weave
a
lovely
Tissue
of
several
Varieties
,
and
a
perfect
Picture
that
will
not
fail
,
both
to
please
and
instruct
,
which
are
the
ends
that
set
him
at
work
.
CHAP.
XXI
.
Wherein
the
Prebend
pursues
his
Discourse
upon
Books
of
Knight-Errantry
.
YOU
charm
me
,
Sir
,
with
your
Discourse
,
reply'd
the
Curate
;
and
therefore
certainly
they
deserve
more
severely
to
be
blam'd
,
that
neglect
the
Rules
which
you
have
prescrib'd
,
and
which
have
rendred
so
famous
the
two
Princes
of
Greek
and
Latin
Poesie
.
I
must
confess
,
reply'd
the
Prebend
,
I
had
once
a
kind
of
Temptation
to
write
my self
a
Book
of
Knight-Errantry
,
according
to
the
same
Rules
;
and
I
had
compos'd
some
fifteen
or
twenty
Quires
;
and
to
try
whether
this
Beginning
answer'd
my
Expectation
,
I
shew'd
'em
not
only
to
some
Persons
that
were
capable
to
judge
,
and
were
passionate
Admirers
of
that
Romantick
way
,
but
also
to
some
others
that
were
no
less
ignorant
,
and
had
a
Gusto
for
nothing
but
Extravagancy
,
who
nevertheless
both
equally
applauded
what
I
had
done
.
However
,
I
forbore
to
proceed
,
in
regard
that
besides
that
it
did
not
seem
consentaneous
to
my
Profession
,
I
find
that
the
number
of
Fools
far
surpasses
that
of
the
judicious
;
and
tho
it
be
much
more
advantageous
to
a
Man
,
to
be
commended
and
esteem'd
by
the
small
number
of
the
Learned
,
then
it
is
disadvantageous
to
be
scorn'd
and
slighted
by
the
innumerable
Number
of
Ideots
,
yet
I
was
unwilling
to
expose
my self
to
the
Censure
of
the
blockish
Vulgar
,
that
particularly
seek
their
Pastime
in
such
sorts
of
Books
.
But
nothing
more
oblig'd
me
to
discontinue
,
then
to
see
that
the
Comedies
of
our
Times
are
all
such
a
Company
of
ridiculous
Farces
,
without
any
Rule
or
Decorum
,
and
yet
should
be
so
applauded
and
humm'd
up
,
as
they
are
;
nay
,
and
it
is
come
to
that
pass
too
,
that
the
very
Poets
and
Actors
will
tell
ye
,
that
nothing
else
will
please
the
Stage
,
the
Generality
of
the
Spectators
not
enduring
any
thing
of
Art
,
or
regular
Invention
.
Therefore
,
thought
I
,
why
should
I
go
about
to
break
my
Brains
,
and
lose
my
time
in
studying
Rules
and
Precepts
to
no
purpose
?
Sir
,
reply'd
the
Curate
,
you
have
touch'd
upon
a
Point
that
has
reviv'd
in
my
Thoughts
an
old
Animosity
,
which
I
have
always
had
against
the
Comedies
of
our
Times
,
no
less
then
the
inveterate
Enmity
which
I
have
always
born
against
Knight-Errantry
,
and
all
its
Abettors
.
For
whereas
Comedy
,
as
Tully
tells
us
,
ought
to
be
a
Mirrour
of
human
life
,
an
Example
and
Pattern
of
good
manners
,
and
a
Representation
of
truth
,
it
is
now
become
a
meer
Huddle
of
Extravagancy
,
countenancing
open
Debauchery
upon
the
Stage
,
and
farc'd
with
little
else
then
Lewdness
and
Obscenity
.
What
can
be
more
ridiculous
,
then
to
tell
us
of
an
Infant
newly
born
in
the
first
Scene
of
the
first
Act
,
and
in
the
next
Act
to
bring
him
in
fighting
a
great
Battel
?
Within
the
space
of
two
Musicks
,
a
sucking
Baby
and
a
great
Commander
?
What
more
impertinent
then
that
of
the
Play
of
Adam
and
Eve
,
where
Grannam
Eve
is
brought
in
with
two
or
three
Waiting-maids
attending
her
,
when
there
was
ne're
a
Woman
but
her self
i'
the
World
?
What
more
silly
and
ridiculous
then
to
introduce
a
Lacquy
speaking
like
an
Orator
,
or
a
Page
like
a
Privy-Counsellor
?
to
make
a
Prince
talk
like
a
Porter
,
or
a
great
Empress
like
a
Chair-woman
?
Others
there
are
that
cannot
write
a
Play
without
two
or
three
Devils
in
it
;
and
those
too
brought
in
by
Head
and
Shoulders
.
And
some
there
are
that
fill
their
Scenes
with
antick
Dances
and
Mummery
,
fitter
for
a
Booth
then
a
Stage
;
as
if
they
design'd
rather
to
tickle
the
Fancy
of
youth
with
wanton
and
lascivious
Postures
,
then
to
reform
the
Vices
of
the
Age
by
deliberate
and
well
meditated
Instruction
.
Others
there
be
,
who
observing
neither
Time
nor
Place
,
lay
the
Scenes
of
their
first
Act
in
Europe
,
of
the
second
in
Asia
,
of
the
third
in
Africa
,
of
the
fourth
in
America
;
but
then
what
pity
't
was
,
that
the
World
should
want
a
fifth
Quarter
for
the
Conclusion
?
What
a
Gallimaufry
and
Mixture
of
Fable
with
Historical
Truths
?
What
a
Confusion
of
Nations
,
Characters
and
Times
,
we
meet
with
in
others
,
which
causes
the
Composers
to
lie
at
the
mercy
,
even
of
the
most
ignorant
of
their
Auditors
?
All
which
proceeds
from
hence
,
that
the
Poets
write
not
now
adays
for
Honour
and
true
Applause
,
but
for
Gain
,
and
the
Profit
of
the
third
Day
;
and
therefore
they
are
constrain'd
so
to
write
,
as
that
their
Studies
may
please
the
Purchaser
,
who
else
will
return
his
Ware
upon
his
Hands
,
to
the
disastrous
Disappointment
of
all
the
Trades
about
the
Town
that
belong
to
eating
,
drinking
,
and
cloathing
,
who
had
trusted
the
poor
Comedian
,
or
more
lamentable
Tragoedian
,
in
hopes
of
being
paid
by
the
Muses
.
While
the
Prebend
and
the
Curate
were
thus
discoursing
together
,
the
Barber
made
bold
to
interrupt
'em
,
telling
the
Curate
,
that
now
they
were
come
to
that
lovely
Valley
,
where
he
had
told
'em
they
might
with
so
much
Pleasure
repose
themselves
,
while
the
Waggoner
gave
his
Oxen
a
cool
Sallad
of
green
Grass
.
I
like
it
well
,
quo
the
Curate
,
and
at
the
same
time
ask'd
the
Prebend
,
whether
he
would
be
pleas'd
to
alight
?
Which
the
Prebend
readily
consented
to
do
,
no
less
taken
with
the
Prospect
and
Pleasantness
of
the
Vale
,
then
with
the
Curate's
Discourse
;
and
withal
willing
to
understand
something
more
of
the
Humour
and
Story
of
Don
Quixote
.
Thereupon
the
Prebend
order'd
one
of
his
Servants
to
ride
away
to
the
Inn
,
and
see
what
was
to
be
had
;
but
being
better
inform'd
that
one
of
his
own
Mules
was
gone
before
better
furnish'd
with
Provision
then
the
Inn
would
afford
,
he
bid
the
same
Servant
carry
the
Horses
to
the
Inn
,
and
fetch
back
the
Mule
;
which
was
done
with
all
convenient
speed
.
All
this
while
Sancho
finding
that
the
Curate
and
the
Barber
,
for
whom
he
had
as
much
kindness
as
a
Whore
for
a
Whipping-post
,
gave
him
no
farther
interruption
,
but
that
he
might
freely
discourse
with
his
Master
,
being
got
as
near
as
possibly
he
could
to
the
Cage
;
Master
,
said
he
,
for
the
discharge
of
my
Conscience
,
I
must
needs
tell
ye
what
I
think
of
your
Inchantment
.
These
two
men
that
travel
along
with
us
,
with
their
Masks
upon
their
Noses
,
are
the
Curate
of
our
Parish
,
and
Mr.
Nicholas
the
Barber
;
and
I
'le
be
hang'd
now
,
or
at
any
other
time
when
you
please
,
if
this
ben't
a
Plot
meerly
of
their
Contrivance
to
carry
ye
away
thus
in
a
Cage-Errant
,
because
your
famous
Exploits
throw
Dust
i'
their
Eyes
.
From
whence
I
conclude
,
that
you
are
no
more
enchanted
then
my
Ass
,
but
only
bubbl'd
and
made
a
Fool
of
.
For
Proof
of
this
,
Sir
,
give
me
leave
to
ask
you
one
Question
,
and
if
you
do
but
answer
me
as
wisely
as
I
expect
,
I
'le
make
the
cheat
as
plain
as
the
Nose
i'
your
face
.
So
that
if
after
I
ha'
done
,
you
believe
your self
inchanted
,
I
shall
then
believe
your
Brains
to
be
turn'd
i'
your
Scull
.
Ask
what
Questions
thou
wilt
,
Son
Zancho
,
reply'd
Don
Quixote
,
I
'le
answer
thee
as
punctually
as
my
Confessor
.
Tho
as
to
those
persons
,
who
thou
say'st
are
our
Parishioners
,
the
Curate
and
the
Barber
,
they
may
indeed
seem
to
thee
to
be
so
;
but
that
they
are
those
very
real
persons
,
I
would
not
have
thee
believe
no
more
then
thou
dost
in
Mahomet
.
Pin
thy
Faith
therefore
,
if
thou
lovest
me
,
upon
my
Sleeve
;
for
to
do
otherwise
in
this
case
,
is
of
dangerous
consequence
,
and
believe
that
these
two
persons
who
appear
to
thee
in
the
likeness
of
our
two
Neighbours
,
are
most
certainly
my
confounded
Inchanters
,
that
have
assum'd
the
Shapes
of
those
two
honest
men
a'
purpose
to
delude
thee
,
and
throw
thee
into
a
Labyrinth
of
Imaginations
,
whence
thou
wilt
never
be
able
to
disintreague
thy self
,
tho
thou
hadst
the
Clue
of
Theseus
,
and
so
to
raise
in
me
the
Spirit
of
Revenge
against
two
innocent
People
,
that
never
meant
me
harm
;
or
else
to
puzzle
my
Understanding
,
that
I
should
not
be
able
to
find
out
who
't
is
has
done
me
this
Mischief
.
For
look
thee
,
friend
Sancho
,
on
the
one
side
thou
amusest
my
Brains
with
a
Story
of
the
Curate
and
Barber
,
whereas
on
the
other
side
,
I
find
my self
here
enthral'd
,
yet
am
assur'd
that
all
the
Curates
and
Barbers
i'
the
World
,
nor
any
other
power
,
not
altogether
supernatural
,
no
not
Tamerlaine
himself
,
could
have
so
encag'd
me
;
which
I
am
the
rather
bound
to
believe
,
because
my
Inchantment
is
of
a
nature
quite
different
from
all
that
ever
I
read
of
enchanted
Knights
in
any
History
that
ever
I
saw
.
And
therefore
banish
that
idle
Crotchet
out
of
thy
head
,
that
inveagles
thee
to
think
those
persons
to
be
what
thou
say'st
they
are
.
For
they
are
no
more
the
Barber
and
the
Curate
,
then
I
am
the
Turk
and
the
Devil
.
And
now
ask
what
Questions
thou
wilt
,
I
'le
answer
thee
till
to
morrow
Morning
.
Mercy
deliver
me
,
cry'd
Sancho
,
with
a
Voice
of
Admiration
,
Is
it
possible
your
Worship
should
have
such
a
thick
Scull
and
so
little
Brains
,
as
not
to
understand
what
I
tell
ye
to
be
true
?
Why
then
I
tell
ye
,
you
do
the
Devil
an
injury
;
he
has
no
hand
,
no
not
so
much
as
a
finger
i'
this
Plot
—
't
is
all
a
Contrivance
of
mortal
Men
,
to
your
Infamy
and
Disgrace
;
and
I
'le
prove
it
to
be
no
Inchantment
,
as
clear
as
the
Sun
at
Noon-day
.
Now
then
,
tell
me
,
Sir
,
as
you
hope
for
Deliverance
out
of
these
Barricado's
,
and
as
you
expect
one
day
to
see
your self
enfolded
in
the
Arms
of
Madam
Dulcinea
—
Prethee
Sancho
,
cry'd
Don
Quixote
,
interrupting
him
,
what
a
Racket
dost
thou
keep
?
Have
I
not
promis'd
to
answer
punctually
to
all
thy
Demands
?
—
Tell
me
then
without
bouncing
or
mincing
the
matter
,
but
sincerely
and
faithfully
,
as
persons
ought
to
speak
that
make
profession
of
Arms
in
the
Quality
of
Knight-Errants
—
Why
then
assure
thy self
,
reply'd
Don
Quixote
,
that
I
do
renounce
not
only
the
Father
,
but
the
Mother
of
Lyes
—
But
for
the
love
of
Heaven
,
either
begin
,
or
make
an
end
before
thou
begin'st
;
for
in
good
sooth
,
Sancho
,
thou
tire'st
me
to
death
with
thy
Circumlocutions
and
Preambles
—
Why
then
,
Sir
,
quo
Sancho
,
secure
as
I
am
of
the
goodness
and
truth
of
my
Master
,
I
ask
ye
,
Sir
,
tho
with
all
Reverence
and
Modesty
,
whether
,
since
you
were
as
you
believe
,
inchanted
in
that
Chicken-Coop
,
you
never
had
,
through
the
motions
of
Nature
,
Desires
micturient
or
cacaturient
,
as
they
say
?
I
understand
not
,
Sancho
,
what
thou
mean'st
,
reply'd
Don
Quixote
,
prethee
explain
thy self
in
Language
less
mysterious
.
That
's
strange
,
quo
Sancho
,
not
understand
at
your
years
what
't
is
to
be
micturient
and
cacaturient
!
why
,
't
is
the
first
thing
we
are
perfect
in
at
School
—
I
ask
you
then
in
plain
English
,
whether
you
never
had
a
desire
since
your
Encagement
,
to
go
where
you
can
send
no
body
of
your
Errand
?
Oh
,
ho
—
Sancho
,
hast
thou
smelt
me
out
?
Now
I
understand
thee
—
Yes
,
in
good
sooth-law
,
have
I
—
and
now
thou
putt'st
me
in
mind
on
't
,
the
Bolts
of
my
Tail
are
none
of
the
fastest
at
this
very
instant
—
Quickly
,
dear
Sancho
,
tell
the
Devil
my
urgent
Occasions
—
and
bid
him
lend
thee
the
Pad-lock
or
a
sheet
of
clean
Paper
—
or
if
thou
can'st
,
get
two
—
for
I
fear
one
wont
be
enough
—
.
CHAP.
XXII
.
Containing
the
excellent
Discourse
between
Sancho
Pancha
and
his
Master
Don
Quixote
.
IS
it
so
,
quo
Zancho
?
then
y'
faith
,
Master
,
I
have
ye
upon
a
fair
Hank
,
as
they
say
.
This
is
that
which
I
more
eagerly
long'd
to
know
,
then
ever
young
Woman
long'd
for
green
Apricots
.
Come
on
,
sir
,
then
i'
the
second
place
,
Can
you
deny
the
usual
Answer
to
the
common
Question
,
What
ails
such
a
one
,
that
neither
sleeps
,
nor
eats
,
nor
drinks
?
Don't
they
presently
cry
,
such
a
one's
bewitch'd
?
Whence
I
conclude
,
that
they
who
neither
eat
,
nor
drink
,
nor
sleep
,
nor
go
to
my
Nuncle's
House
upon
the
necessary
Occasions
of
Nature
,
are
bewitch'd
—
But
as
for
them
that
have
these
pressing
Occasions
,
as
your
Worship
has
at
this
time
,
they
that
would
eat
if
they
had
it
,
would
drink
if
they
could
get
it
,
and
still
answer
to
the
purpose
,
't
is
impossible
they
should
ever
be
inchanted
—
Thou
say'st
very
true
,
Sancho
,
repl'yd
Don
Quixote
;
but
how
oft
have
I
told
thee
,
that
there
are
several
sorts
of
Inchantment
,
and
it
may
be
,
that
process
of
time
has
alter'd
the
manner
of
Incantation
;
so
that
it
may
be
the
fashion
now
,
that
they
who
are
inchanted
,
may
have
all
those
Desires
that
I
have
,
which
formerly
they
that
were
in
the
same
Condition
,
had
not
.
And
this
being
so
,
there
is
no
arguing
against
the
allow'd
Alteration
of
Custom
,
nor
drawing
Conclusions
from
what
was
done
in
past
Ages
.
In
short
,
therefore
,
it
is
a
thing
ramm'd
into
my
Brains
,
that
I
am
inchanted
,
and
that
's
sufficient
for
the
Discharge
of
my
Conscience
:
For
were
it
not
for
that
,
it
would
be
a
sore
Burden
upon
my
mind
,
like
undigested
Sturgeon
upon
a
weak
Stomach
,
to
lie
here
like
a
Squirrel
in
a
Lady's
Pocket
,
buried
in
Sloth
and
Cowardise
,
while
so
many
miserable
and
unfortunate
People
roar
out
in
all
Corners
of
the
Earth
for
my
Favour
and
Assistance
.
Nevertheless
,
reply'd
Sancho
,
for
the
more
assured
security
of
your
Soul
hereafter
,
I
would
desire
you
to
endeavour
your
Liberty
,
and
to
free
your self
from
this
ridiculous
Captivity
;
to
which
purpose
I
engage
the
utmost
of
my
Assistance
;
nay
,
and
it
shall
cost
me
a
fall
but
I
'le
bring
it
to
pass
too
—
for
I
would
fain
see
your
Worship
once
more
upon
the
Back
of
Rosinante
,
who
to
me
seems
as
much
inchanted
as
your self
;
such
is
his
profound
Sadness
and
Melancholy
,
not
to
be
cur'd
,
but
by
your
bestriding
him
again
,
in
search
of
new
Adventures
.
If
we
fail
in
our
Enterprises
,
you
ha'
time
enough
,
I
warrant
ye
,
to
return
to
your
woodden
Jail
;
and
then
if
you
are
so
accurst
of
Heaven
,
and
I
so
bewitch'd
with
the
Simples
,
to
fail
i'
my
Design
,
I
swear
upon
the
Faith
of
a
true
and
loyal
Squire
,
and
let
me
die
the
death
of
ten
thousand
drown'd
Kittens
,
if
I
don't
shut
my self
up
along
with
ye
,
and
live
or
starve
with
your
Worship
,
as
the
Devil
of
an
Inchanter
shall
think
fit
to
dispose
of
our
Bodies
.
Look
thee
,
friend
Sancho
,
reply'd
Don
Quixote
,
that
thou
may'st
see
't
is
no
fault
of
mine
,
I
give
thee
ample
Commission
to
do
thy
utmost
,
and
begin
with
the
first
Opportunity
.
But
I
fear
me
,
poor
Sancho
,
thou
art
only
going
about
to
water
a
Stake
,
and
that
like
an
ignorant
Physician
,
thou
art
mistak'n
in
thy
Judgment
concerning
the
Cause
of
my
Distemper
.
This
was
the
politick
and
learned
Discourse
between
the
Knight-Errant
and
his
Squire
,
till
the
slow-pac'd
Oxen
arriv'd
where
the
Prebend
,
the
Curate
,
and
the
Barber
were
alighted
.
Presently
the
Waggoner
unspang'd
his
draught-Oxen
,
and
set
'em
a
grazing
at
their
own
freedom
;
when
Sancho
,
seeing
those
dull
Animals
enjoying
their
liberty
,
desir'd
the
Curate
that
his
Master
also
might
be
permitted
to
come
forth
of
his
Cage
,
and
stretch
his
Legs
,
at
least
tho
it
were
but
for
so
long
time
as
the
Beasts
themselves
were
unyok'd
;
which
if
he
refus'd
to
do
,
he
assur'd
him
his
Prison
would
not
be
so
sweet
and
clean
as
became
the
Lodging
of
such
a
worthy
Knight
as
his
Master
.
The
Curate
understood
what
Sancho
meant
,
and
for
answer
;
Friend
,
said
he
,
when
I
was
a
Boy
,
and
us'd
to
ask
my
Master
leave
to
go
forth
,
I
did
it
more
to
play
the
Truant
,
then
for
any
occasion
I
had
.
And
therefore
I
fear
this
is
only
an
Excuse
of
thy
Master
,
and
that
when
he
is
once
out
,
he
will
gad
so
far
out
of
our
sight
,
that
we
shall
never
see
him
again
.
I
'le
be
his
Security
,
reply'd
Sancho
,
and
I
likewise
,
reply'd
the
Prebend
,
provided
he
will
swear
by
his
Knighthood
,
not
to
stir
beyond
those
Limits
we
shall
prescribe
him
.
By
the
Faith
of
a
vertuous
Knight-Errant
I
swear
,
reply'd
Don
Quixote
,
who
listen'd
attentively
to
all
they
said
,
altho
my
Oath
be
needless
,
seeing
they
who
are
inchanted
have
not
the
Power
to
do
what
they
please
themselves
,
but
are
at
the
Disposal
of
the
Inchanter
,
who
by
his
Art
can
nail
their
Toes
invisibly
in
such
a
manner
to
the
Earth
,
that
they
shall
not
be
able
to
stir
a
hair's
breadth
in
three
Ages
together
;
or
if
they
should
endeavour
to
make
their
Escape
,
can
fetch
'em
back
i'
the
Devil's
name
.
So
that
,
Gentlemen
,
added
he
,
you
may
safely
release
me
,
or
else
you
must
be
forc'd
to
remove
to
another
Post
;
for
to
deal
truly
wi'
ye
,
my
Occasions
are
very
urgent
,
and
I
will
not
be
answerable
for
offending
your
Noses
,
after
a
fair
Warning
.
Thereupon
the
Prebend
took
him
by
both
his
hands
,
ty'd
as
they
were
,
and
assisted
him
out
of
the
Cage
,
to
the
unspeakable
Joy
of
the
poor
enthrall'd
Knight
.
Thus
being
unbound
,
the
first
thing
he
did
,
was
to
stretch
his
Limbs
,
which
were
not
a
little
stiff
,
you
may
be
sure
.
Which
done
,
he
went
immediately
to
Rosinante
,
and
giving
him
three
or
four
claps
o'
the
Buttock
;
Mirrour
and
Flower
of
all
Steeds-Errant
,
quo
he
,
mauger
all
these
Misfortunes
of
ours
,
I
trust
in
God
and
his
blessed
Mother
,
that
we
shall
both
behold
our selves
e're
long
in
that
same
happy
Condition
,
which
both
our
hearts
desire
;
Thou
prancing
under
thy
Lord
and
Master
,
and
thy
Lord
and
Master
mounted
on
thy
sturdy
Chine
,
performing
those
Atchievements
,
which
my
fortunate
Stars
portended
at
my
coming
into
the
World
.
And
having
so
said
,
Don
Quixote
and
his
Squire
retir'd
to
a
Thicket
at
some
distance
from
the
Company
,
where
the
Knight
having
eas'd
himself
,
and
Sancho
done
the
Duty
of
a
cleanly
Squire
,
they
both
return'd
again
,
the
Knight
much
sweeter
and
lighter
then
he
had
been
for
some
hours
before
,
and
the
Squire
over-joy'd
that
his
Endeavours
had
prov'd
so
succesful
.
At
the
same
time
the
Prebend
could
not
forbear
gazing
upon
the
Knight
;
and
after
he
had
with
a
diligent
Eye
observ'd
the
motions
of
every
particular
Member
,
and
descanted
to
himself
upon
every
word
that
drop'd
from
his
mouth
,
he
stood
amaz'd
at
such
an
extravagant
piece
of
Madness
,
that
left
a
Man
his
Senses
,
and
his
Judgment
in
every
thing
else
,
but
unhors'd
all
his
Reason
when
he
came
to
talk
of
Knight-Errantry
:
Insomuch
that
the
compassionate
Church-man
pity'd
the
Misfortune
of
the
poor
Gentleman
;
and
therefore
desirous
to
try
whether
all
his
Eloquence
and
Arguments
could
reclaim
him
;
after
every
one
had
taken
their
Places
upon
the
green-Grass
,
addressing
himself
to
Don
Quixote
;
Is
it
possible
,
Sir
,
said
he
,
that
such
a
witless
,
unsavory
,
and
impertinent
Study
,
as
that
of
idle
Romances
,
should
have
that
Operation
upon
a
man's
Senses
to
deprave
his
Understanding
to
such
a
degree
,
as
to
believe
himself
inchanted
,
with
other
Chimera's
of
the
same
Nature
,
as
far
from
Reason
,
as
the
Lye
it self
is
from
Truth
?
How
is
it
to
be
imagin'd
,
that
there
should
be
any
person
i'
the
World
so
simple
as
to
think
that
ever
there
were
such
a
number
of
Amadis's
,
such
Legions
of
Knight-Errants
,
so
many
Emperors
of
Trebizond
,
Guy's
of
Warwick
,
Faelixmarts
of
Hyrcania
,
Bevis's
of
Southampton
,
and
Valentins
and
Orsons
;
so
many
Lady's-Errant
,
so
many
Serpents
,
so
many
Dragons
,
so
many
Giants
,
such
Variety
of
Inchantments
;
so
many
Defies
and
Challenges
,
such
unheard-of
and
impossible
Encounters
,
such
Shoals
of
Squires
,
Counts
,
enamour'd
Princesses
,
and
Amazonian
Tiltresses
in
man's
Apparel
;
in
a
word
,
such
a
confus'd
Heap
and
Babel
of
Trash
and
Extravagance
,
as
swell
the
Folio's
of
Knight-Errantry
?
I
must
confess
,
that
when
I
read
'em
,
while
I
look'd
upon
'em
to
be
no
other
then
Fables
and
Fictions
,
they
were
a
kind
of
a
pleasing
Pastime
to
me
;
but
when
I
seriously
consider'd
what
they
were
,
cursed
insipid
Lyes
,
and
Improbabilities
,
there
was
not
one
which
I
did
not
think
deserv'd
to
be
thrown
into
the
Fire
,
as
being
a
Company
of
Impostors
that
abus'd
the
Credulity
of
the
ignorant
Vulgar
,
and
sometimes
disturb
the
Brains
of
men
of
Sense
and
Judgment
;
of
which
I
find
in
your self
an
unfortunate
Example
,
by
such
Studies
to
be
reduc'd
to
that
Condition
,
that
your
Friends
are
constrain'd
to
secure
ye
in
a
Cage
,
and
carry
ye
about
the
Countrey
like
some
African
Monster
to
be
shewn
at
Market-Towns
for
Six-pence
a
piece
.
For
Heaven's
sake
,
Mr.
Quixote
,
take
Compassion
upon
your self
,
call
home
your
wandring
Reason
,
and
make
use
of
that
Prudence
and
that
admirable
Wit
,
which
God
has
giv'n
ye
,
to
chuse
a
more
noble
and
profitable
sort
of
Study
,
wherein
to
employ
your
serious
Thoughts
.
But
if
your
Inclinations
are
so
ravish'd
with
War-like
Exploits
,
and
prodigious
Actions
,
apply
your self
to
real
and
authentick
History
,
where
you
will
find
those
Miracles
of
Valour
,
that
not
only
surpass
all
Fable
,
but
ev'n
human
Belief
it self
.
What
a
preposterous
thing
it
is
,
that
Men
should
addict
themselves
to
the
Invention
of
so
many
fictitious
Hero's
,
as
if
Vertue
it self
were
a
Fiction
,
and
a
thing
that
could
be
only
practis'd
by
such
Romantick
Champions
;
or
that
her
most
noble
Instructions
were
only
to
be
sought
for
among
the
Rubbish
of
Lyes
and
Fables
?
Would
you
read
the
Stories
of
great
Men
,
Greece
offers
ye
an
Alexander
,
Rome
a
Caesar
;
Carthage
a
Hannibal
;
Portugal
a
Viriatus
;
Spain
a
Gonsales
,
a
Diego
Garcia
,
a
Perez
de
Vargas
,
and
several
others
;
Great
Britain
,
a
Black
Prince
,
and
a
Harry
the
fifth
;
all
of
'em
so
many
Portraitures
of
heroick
Virtue
,
which
affect
the
Reader
at
the
same
time
with
true
Admiration
,
Delight
,
and
a
noble
Emulation
to
follow
their
Examples
.
This
,
Mr.
Quixote
,
is
a
Study
to
employ
a
Wit
so
towring
as
yours
;
by
this
means
you
will
become
well
read
in
authentick
Story
,
in
love
with
Vertue
,
better'd
in
Goodness
,
refin'd
in
your
Manners
,
valiant
without
Fool-hardiness
,
and
wary
without
Cowardise
,
to
the
Honour
of
God
,
your
own
Profit
,
and
the
Renown
of
Mancha
,
as
I
understand
,
the
Place
from
whence
you
derive
your
noble
Original
.
Don
Quixote
listen'd
with
an
extraordinary
Attention
to
the
Prebend's
Discourse
,
and
perceiving
at
length
that
he
made
a
full
Stop
,
after
he
had
star'd
him
wistfully
for
some
time
i'
the
Face
;
Mr.
Prebend
,
quo
he
,
you
ha'
made
,
as
you
think
,
a
very
fair
Speech
,
and
all
your
Oratory
,
I
find
tends
to
perswade
me
,
that
there
never
were
any
Knight-Errants
i'
the
World
,
that
all
Books
and
Stories
of
Knight-Errantry
are
false
,
fabulous
,
unprofitable
and
prejudicial
to
the
State
;
that
I
did
ill
to
read
'em
,
worse
to
believe
'em
,
and
still
worse
to
imitate
'em
,
by
taking
upon
me
the
severe
and
laborious
Profession
of
a
Knight-Errant
.
You
repeat
my
Sense
precisely
,
reply'd
the
Prebend
—
You
added
likewise
,
cry'd
Don
Quixote
,
that
these
Books
have
done
me
much
wrong
,
that
they
ha'
turn'd
my
Brains
i'
my
Scull
,
which
is
the
reason
I
am
put
i'
this
Cage
;
and
that
it
would
be
better
for
me
to
read
serious
and
allow'd
Histories
,
as
you
call
'em
,
at
the
same
time
both
profitable
and
delightful
.
Your
Memory
fails
not
in
the
least
Particular
,
reply'd
the
Prebend
—
Very
good
,
quo
Don
Quixote
—
And
now
,
Mr.
Prebend
,
the
Devil
take
me
,
if
I
don't
believe
your self
to
be
the
inchanted
Person
,
and
the
mad
Man
,
that
has
dropt
his
Wits
in
a
Mill-dam
.
For
what
greater
Proof
have
you
for
many
things
that
you
impose
upon
the
World
,
but
only
the
general
Belief
?
Upon
what
grounds
do
you
,
Mr.
Prebend
,
justifie
the
numerous
Fardle
of
your
Legends
,
and
the
strange
Miracles
repeated
in
'em
,
when
you
are
not
certain
there
ever
were
any
such
Persons
i'
the
World
;
nor
are
there
any
Witnesses
of
the
Wonders
which
they
are
said
to
have
wrought
.
And
yet
your
Catalogue
of
Saints
far
exceeds
the
Ephemerides
of
Knight-Errants
,
and
their
Actions
are
altogether
as
incredible
as
those
of
Amadis
de
Gaul
,
or
Greece
;
besides
the
innumerable
number
of
Reliques
,
Baptists
Heads
,
pieces
of
the
Cross
,
Nails
,
Veroniques
,
&c.
more
then
Atlas
and
St.
Christopher
were
able
to
stand
under
.
As
for
Example
,
the
Cross
is
suppos'd
to
be
but
one
piecce
of
Timber
,
and
that
not
of
the
choicest
Wood
neither
,
and
yet
how
many
Snattocks
of
it
shall
we
meet
with
,
some
of
Cedar
,
some
of
Juniper
,
some
of
Cypress
,
&c.
Then
for
the
Nails
,
which
could
not
be
above
four
or
five
that
were
at
first
canoniz'd
,
Heavens
!
how
they
are
increas'd
!
Hannibal
had
not
more
Rings
at
the
Battel
of
Canne
,
nor
does
Bromigeham
make
so
many
in
a
Year
,
as
you
shew
Nails
of
all
sorts
and
sizes
;
and
so
many
Napkins
,
that
had
one
man
sold
'em
all
,
he
must
ha'
been
the
richest
Linnen-draper
i'
the
World
.
Now
I
desire
but
fair
Play
,
that
the
Authors
of
my
Books
may
be
believ'd
to
be
Authors
of
what
they
wrote
,
as
well
as
yours
.
If
your
Books
are
generally
receiv'd
,
so
are
mine
;
and
more
then
that
,
acknowledg'd
to
contain
such
real
Truths
,
that
he
who
denys
the
matter
of
Fact
,
deserves
the
same
Punishment
for
a
Heretick
,
to
which
you
sentenc'd
your
own
Books
,
when
you
threw
'em
i'
the
fire
.
For
,
in
short
,
to
perswade
me
there
were
never
any
such
persons
i'
the
World
as
Amadis
,
or
any
of
those
other
Knights
so
loudly
fam'd
in
Stories
of
Chivalry-Errant
,
is
to
tell
me
the
Sun
does
not
shine
,
or
that
Winter
's
hot
,
and
Summer
cold
:
Y'
had
as
good
make
me
believe
,
that
the
History
of
the
Princess
of
Florence
and
Guy
of
Burgundy
were
false
;
or
what
befel
Fierabrass
upon
the
Bridge
of
Mantible
,
in
the
time
of
Charlemaigne
;
tho
I
dare
swear
both
to
be
as
true
as
that
I
was
like
to
ha'
befoul'd
my self
just
now
i'
th'
inchanted
Cage
.
For
if
these
be
Lyes
,
then
there
never
was
any
Hector
,
no
Achilles
,
no
Trojan
War
,
no
Twelve
Peers
of
France
,
no
King
Arthur
of
Britain
,
who
still
lives
i'
the
Shape
of
a
Crow
,
and
is
still
expected
to
return
to
his
Throne
;
no
St.
George
for
England
,
when
the
Signs
of
St.
George
almost
in
all
the
Towns
of
that
Countrey
,
convince
men
to
the
contrary
;
and
the
Defeat
of
that
strange
Dragon
which
was
then
pregnant
,
and
so
was
slain
both
her
and
her
Issue
,
is
demonstrated
by
the
Extirpation
of
all
Dragons
ever
since
,
that
the
thing
was
true
.
You
may
as
well
deny
,
that
D.
d'Alva's
Face
is
not
to
be
seen
upon
all
the
Jugg-pots
in
Holland
,
or
Monsieur
D.
Ancre's
Quidlibets
in
all
the
Taverns
in
France
.
Nay
,
more
then
all
this
,
you
may
as
well
condemn
for
Fables
the
Amours
between
Sir
Tristram
and
Queen
Isond
;
or
those
between
the
fair
Guinever
and
Sir
Lancelot
du
Lake
,
when
there
be
persons
alive
that
remember
they
have
seen
the
Lady
Quintaniona
,
who
had
the
Gift
of
tasting
Wine
beyond
any
Wine
cooper
in
London
;
and
the
Story
is
so
true
,
that
I
my self
who
speak
the
words
,
remember
,
that
my
Grandmother
by
the
Father's
side
,
when
she
saw
any
of
those
venerable
Matrons
that
look
a
little
red
about
the
Nose
;
Look
,
Child
,
quo
she
,
that
Lady
's
like
the
Lady
Quintaniona
;
whence
I
infer
,
that
she
must
needs
ha'
seen
her
,
or
at
least
her
Picture
,
which
could
ne're
ha'
been
drawn
,
had
she
not
been
alive
.
As
vain
it
is
to
contest
the
History
of
Peter
of
Provence
,
and
the
fair
Lady
Magdalene
,
when
the
Pin
with
which
he
govern'd
his
woodden
Horse
that
carry'd
him
i'
the
Air
,
is
still
to
be
seen
i'
the
King's
Armory
.
Which
Pin
was
as
big
as
the
Thill
of
a
Waggon
;
by
the
same
token
that
it
stands
within
a
quarter
of
a
yard
of
Babiesa's
Saddle
,
which
the
valiant
Cid's
Back
side
has
warm'd
full
often
.
At
Roncevaux
also
you
have
Orlando's
Heart
,
as
big
and
as
thick
as
one
of
those
pieces
of
Timber
ye
call
Girders
.
You
may
likewise
,
if
you
will
,
but
't
will
be
to
no
purpose
,
deny
the
History
of
the
three
Bold
Beuchamps
,
of
whom
the
one
kill'd
the
King
of
Bohemia
,
the
t'other
slew
a
Giant
,
and
the
other
fought
for
the
King's
Daughter
,
and
won
her
.
Which
was
so
true
,
that
the
Butchers
of
London
would
see
no
other
Play
at
the
Fortune
,
by
their
good
Wills
,
but
that
,
for
several
years
together
.
Will
any
man
presume
to
deny
,
that
John
of
Mello
was
no
Knight-Errant
,
and
that
he
did
not
fight
in
Burgundy
with
the
famous
Lord
of
Chargny
,
and
at
Basil
with
Henry
of
Remestan
,
and
lambasted
'em
both
?
What
think
ye
of
the
Challenges
,
and
bloody
Adventures
of
Peter
Barba
,
and
Gualter
Quixada
,
from
whom
I
my self
am
lineally
descended
by
the
Male-line
?
I
'le
spit
in
his
Face
that
shall
tell
me
to
my
Teeth
,
they
are
Tales
of
roasted
Horses
,
when
't
is
known
they
sent
the
Sons
of
the
Count
of
St.
Paul
to
the
Devil
.
Nor
will
he
be
a
Friend
to
himself
,
that
provokes
me
,
by
telling
me
,
that
D.
Ferdinand
of
Guevara
did
not
go
to
seek
Adventures
in
Germany
,
where
he
fought
with
the
Lord
George
,
a
Knight
of
high
Quality
,
and
so
well
rubb'd
his
Bones
,
that
he
confess'd
he
was
never
so
rubb'd
in
his
life
:
with
a
thousand
more
renowned
Feats
of
Arms
perform'd
by
Christian
Knights
in
all
parts
of
the
World
,
not
to
mention
the
English
Knights
of
Jerusalem
,
that
slew
whole
Armies
to
day
,
and
begot
whole
Armies
to
morrow
:
And
all
these
things
so
true
and
authentick
,
that
but
to
question
their
Verity
,
would
betray
the
greatest
madness
that
ever
was
incurable
in
Bedlam
.
The
Prebend
astonish'd
to
hear
what
a
confus'd
Gallimawfry
of
History
and
Fable
Don
Quixote
jumbl'd
together
,
and
his
wonderful
Memory
in
repeating
whatever
almost
had
been
written
in
Knight-Errantry
;
I
cannot
deny
,
said
he
,
but
there
is
something
of
Truth
in
what
you
say
,
especially
concerning
the
Knight-Errants
of
Spain
;
and
I
agree
wi'
ye
,
that
there
were
Twelve
Peers
of
France
,
but
in
good
sooth
I
cannot
give
credit
to
all
that
Archbishop
Turpin
has
written
.
All
that
I
believe
,
is
this
,
That
they
were
certain
Knights
made
choice
of
by
the
Kings
of
France
,
and
call'd
Peers
,
for
their
equality
both
in
Prowess
,
and
in
Birth
,
at
least
they
ought
to
have
been
such
;
for
I
dare
not
swear
for
the
evenness
of
the
Scales
in
that
Particular
.
Neither
will
I
deny
,
but
that
there
might
be
such
men
i'
the
World
,
as
the
Cid
,
or
Bernard
de
Carpio
,
or
Guy
of
Warwick
—
S'life
,
Sir
,
quo
Don
Quixote
,
his
Tomb's
to
be
seen
to
this
day
i'
the
Town
where
he
liv'd
—
Pardon
me
,
Mr.
Quixote
,
cry'd
the
Prebend
,
I
do
not
deny
,
but
that
there
might
ha'
been
such
Mortals
upon
Earth
,
but
that
they
perform'd
those
miraculous
Atchievements
,
which
they
are
said
to
have
done
,
I
am
somewhat
tender
how
I
make
an
Article
of
my
Faith
.
But
as
to
the
Horse-pin
you
speak
of
,
that
is
to
be
seen
i'
the
King's
Armory
with
Bab●esa's
Saddle
,
let
me
die
,
if
I
don't
begin
to
think
my self
blind
,
since
you
have
affirm'd
it
;
for
I
could
never
see
this
Pin
,
as
big
as
you
say
it
is
;
tho
I
must
confess
,
I
ha'
seen
the
Cid's
monumental
Saddle
several
times
.
Upon
my
life
,
Mr.
Prebend
,
't
is
there
,
reply'd
Don
Quixote
;
by
the
same
Token
,
they
had
put
it
in
a
Leathern
Case
to
preserve
it
from
the
Dust
.
There
's
it
then
,
quo
the
Prebend
—
shame
take
th'unmannerly
Rascals
,
that
ne're
would
shew
me
such
a
Rarity
,
else
how
could
I
possibly
divine
what
was
in
a
Leathern
Case
.
But
grant
it
were
there
,
I
am
not
bound
to
believe
the
Stories
of
all
your
Amadis's
,
or
of
the
ragged
Regiments
of
all
your
other
Scaperloitring
Knights
,
that
were
never
heard
of
,
but
in
those
fabulous
Legends
that
so
amuse
the
World
,
upon
whom
be
the
Hangman's
Benediction
,
in
sempiternum
;
and
to
which
,
how
a
Person
of
your
exquisite
Parts
and
Endowments
should
give
so
much
credit
,
is
to
me
a
greater
Wonder
,
then
all
the
seven
Wonders
of
the
World
put
together
.
CHAP.
XXIII
.
Containing
the
pleasant
Dispute
between
the
Prebend
and
Don
Quixote
.
TIS
a
very
pleasant
business
indeed
,
reply'd
Don
Quixote
,
that
Books
printed
with
Licence
and
Approbation
,
and
applauded
by
all
the
World
,
high
and
low
,
old
and
young
,
rich
and
poor
,
learned
and
simple
;
I
say
that
these
Books
,
notwithstanding
all
this
,
should
be
nothing
but
a
Heap
of
Lyes
,
and
feigned
Inventions
,
and
yet
that
Truth
should
appear
so
naked
as
she
does
,
to
her
very
Smock
,
in
every
Page
,
with
all
her
Circumstances
attending
about
her
,
as
the
Names
of
the
Fathers
,
Mothers
,
Uncles
,
Annts
,
Countrey
,
Kindred
,
and
Age
of
the
Knights
,
many
times
under
the
very
Clerk
and
Minister's
Hands
,
their
Exploits
,
and
the
Places
where
they
perform'd
'em
day
by
day
,
as
exactly
as
a
Seamans
Journal
—
For
Heaven's
sake
,
Sir
,
and
as
ye
expect
Preferment
i'
the
Church
,
stitch
up
your
Lips
for
ever
,
rather
then
utter
such
a
piece
of
Heresie
;
and
say
I
advise
ye
as
a
Friend
.
Or
else
,
at
your
leisure
times
(
and
leisure
enough
you
have
,
according
to
your
lazy
mode
of
reading
your
Sermons
)
read
'em
once
more
over
again
,
and
then
tell
me
what
greater
Happiness
there
can
be
i'
this
World
,
then
to
see
appear
before
your
Eyes
of
a
sudden
,
a
wide
Lake
of
Pitch
,
boiling
like
a
Bell-founder's
Furnace
,
full
of
Neuts
,
Adders
,
Toads
,
and
other
poisonous
Creatures
,
no
less
venomous
,
then
terrible
to
the
Sight
:
by
and
by
from
the
midst
of
this
same
todgie
,
smoaking
Caldron
of
the
Devil's
Water-gruel
,
you
hear
a
soft
,
melodious
,
screaming
,
skreeking
,
mournful
Voice
address
to
your self
in
these
words
;
Sir
Knight
,
who
e're
thou
art
,
that
view'st
this
dreadul
Lake
,
and
would'st
enjoy
those
unspeakable
Treasures
conceal'd
beneath
these
pitchy
Waves
,
now
shew
the
Grandeur
of
thy
Courage
,
and
like
another
Drake
,
shoot
this
same
flaming
Gulf
;
else
th'
art
a
Dastard
,
and
a
white
Liver'd
Coward
,
unworthy
to
behold
th'
inestimable
Wonders
enclos'd
within
the
seven
Towers
of
the
seven
Fairies
here
below
this
Lake
of
Hell's
infernal
Jelly-broth
:
and
then
the
Voice
ceasing
,
the
Knight
,
all
Fire
and
Tow
,
without
any
humming
and
hawing
,
or
considering
the
cursed
Risco
he
runs
,
but
trusting
to
his
Iron
Enclosure
,
and
only
recommending
himself
to
God
and
his
ador'd
Mistress
,
fetches
a
Jump
,
and
darts
himself
head
over
heels
down
through
the
seething
Puddle
;
and
streight
,
before
he
knows
where
he
is
,
or
cares
a
straw
what
becomes
of
him
,
he
finds
himself
in
the
midst
of
a
spacious
Plain
,
cover'd
with
a
thousand
sorts
of
odoriferous
Flowers
,
and
a
thousand
times
more
pleasing
to
the
Sight
,
then
all
the
Asparagus
,
or
Mulberry-Gardens
i'
the
World
.
On
the
other
side
he
views
a
delightful
Forest
,
where
the
Verdure
of
millions
of
beautiful
Trees
,
and
all
of
different
Natures
,
charm
his
Eyes
;
at
what
time
an
infinite
number
of
little
Birds
with
painted
Wings
of
various
Colours
,
hopping
from
Branch
to
Branch
,
all
naturally
singing
Walsingham
,
and
whistling
John
come
kiss
me
now
,
enchant
his
Ears
In
another
part
he
discovers
a
pleasing
Rivolet
,
whose
purling
Streams
of
liquid
Chrystal
,
be-dimpl'd
with
Pearls
and
Silver
,
gently
glide
o're
Sands
of
Gold
.
There
stands
a
sumptuous
Fountain
of
speckl'd
Jasper
;
a
new
Wonder
of
Art
,
adorn'd
with
Statues
that
seem
to
talk
,
and
bid
ye
welcome
.
There
you
enter
a
cool
Grotto
,
where
the
confusion
of
Muscles
,
Cockles
,
Periwinkles
,
Mother
a'
Pearl
,
Coral
,
and
Oak-moss
,
far
exceeds
the
vain
toil
of
young
Ladies
at
Boarding-Schools
;
representing
Neptune's
Dining-room
hung
about
with
Tritons
and
Syrens
.
By
and
by
he
discovers
a
stately
Castle
,
the
Walls
of
which
are
of
massie
Gold
,
the
Battlements
of
Diamonds
,
the
Gates
of
Jacinths
;
In
a
word
,
such
an
admirable
Structure
,
that
the
meanest
of
the
Materials
are
of
Rubies
,
Carbuncles
,
Pearls
,
and
Emeraulds
:
and
while
he
is
gazing
upon
this
miraculous
Pile
,
a
numerous
Train
of
young
Ladies
,
with
graceful
pace
,
come
forth
from
one
of
the
Gates
of
the
Castle
,
and
all
so
fair
,
so
beautiful
,
so
gorgeous
in
their
Attire
,
as
would
inflame
a
Statue
,
and
warm
the
frozen
Blood
of
the
most
zealous
Anchorite
.
But
then
!
what
then
!
Then
she
that
seems
to
be
the
Princess
of
the
Castle
,
and
Mistress
of
all
the
rest
,
advances
forward
,
and
with
a
submissive
and
respectful
Modesty
,
takes
the
bold
Knight
by
the
hand
,
and
without
speaking
a
word
,
leads
him
into
the
sumptuous
Palace
;
where
,
having
caus'd
him
to
be
stripp'd
to
the
naked
Skin
by
her
Damsels
,
just
as
he
was
when
he
came
out
of
his
Mother's
Womb
,
they
put
him
into
a
delicious
Bath
,
and
rub
him
all
over
from
head
to
foot
,
before
and
behind
,
with
precious
Essences
,
and
odoriferous
Pomatums
;
and
having
wip'd
him
dry
,
first
they
put
him
on
a
Shirt
of
Cobweb
Lawn
fit
for
the
Queen
of
Fairies
,
all
perfum'd
.
Which
done
,
another
Damsel
comes
and
casts
about
his
Shoulders
a
magnificent
embroider'd
Mantle
,
worth
the
Metropolisses
of
three
great
Kingdoms
.
Then
they
carry
him
into
another
Room
of
State
,
of
which
the
Furniture
surpasses
Admiration
;
where
first
they
bring
him
in
a
large
Bason
of
Gold
,
emboss'd
and
studdi'd
with
Diamonds
,
a
Sea
of
Essence
of
Amber
,
Orange
,
and
Jessomy-water
;
then
seat
him
in
an
Ivory
Chair
,
where
all
the
Damsels
attend
and
wait
upon
him
with
an
exact
and
profound
Silence
.
But
then
who
can
recount
the
Variety
and
Delicacy
of
the
Viands
?
Who
can
express
the
charming
Excellency
of
the
Musick
all
the
while
the
costly
Banquet
lasts
;
yet
neither
they
that
play
,
nor
they
that
sing
are
to
be
seen
.
The
Table
being
clear'd
,
while
the
Knight
stretch'd
out
at
his
ease
,
sits
picking
his
Teeth
,
of
a
sudden
a
Lady
incomparably
more
beautiful
then
any
of
the
rest
,
seating
her self
down
by
him
,
takes
him
about
the
Neck
,
and
having
kiss'd
him
some
three
or
four
hundred
times
with
her
rosie
Lips
,
informs
him
what
Castle
it
is
,
tells
him
she
is
enchanted
,
and
implores
his
Assistance
,
with
a
thousand
other
miraculous
Accidents
,
which
then
amaze
the
Knight
,
and
astonish
the
Readers
hereafter
.
And
thus
you
see
how
the
Stories
of
Knight-Errantry
create
both
Pleasure
and
Wonder
.
Therefore
,
Mr.
Prebend
,
be
rul'd
by
a
Fool
for
once
;
read
these
Books
over
again
,
and
you
shall
find
how
insensibly
they
exorcise
that
Devil
of
Melancholy
,
and
rock
the
troubl'd
Soul
into
the
pleasing
Extasies
of
Mirth
,
and
true
Content
;
so
that
let
a
man
be
never
so
churlish
,
and
ill-natur'd
,
they
are
able
to
rectifie
and
cultivate
his
Inclinations
.
For
my
part
,
I
do
assure
ye
,
Sir
,
since
't
was
the
Will
of
Heaven
to
make
me
a
Knight-Errant
,
of
a
cowardly
,
froppish
,
niggardly
,
stingie
,
boarish
Lobcock
,
I
am
become
valiant
,
affable
,
courteous
,
complaisant
,
liberal
,
generous
,
indefatigable
,
and
patient
to
that
degree
,
as
to
endure
without
the
least
murmuring
or
repining
,
all
the
Imprisonments
and
Enchantments
that
ever
befel
a
Knight
of
my
Profession
.
And
tho
you
see
me
at
this
time
penn'd
up
in
a
woodden
Frank
,
like
a
Boar
against
Christmas
,
I
despair
not
however
,
but
within
these
few
days
,
by
the
strength
of
my
Arm
,
and
the
Favour
of
Heaven
,
to
ascend
the
Throne
of
some
great
Kingdom
,
that
I
may
be
able
to
sow
i'
the
Field
of
the
World
,
those
Vertues
of
Liberality
and
Acknowledgment
,
that
I
am
forc'd
at
present
to
keep
hoarded
up
in
my
Breast
.
For
who
that
is
poor
,
can
be
munificent
,
tho
he
had
the
Soul
of
a
Prince
?
Since
Acknowledgment
in
Desire
,
is
but
a
dead
Vertue
,
like
Faith
without
Works
.
And
therefore
I
could
wish
,
that
Fortune
once
in
her
life
would
be
so
kind
as
to
help
me
to
an
Empire
,
that
I
might
be
in
a
Condition
to
enrich
my
Friends
;
especially
this
poor
Squire
of
mine
,
who
is
the
honestest
Fellow
i'
the
World
,
and
upon
whom
I
would
fain
bestow
an
Earldom
,
as
being
a
thing
that
I
promis'd
him
two
or
three
times
i'
my
Cups
,
(
and
what
I
promise
when
I'
m
merry
,
I
always
love
to
perform
when
I'm
sober
)
tho
I
confess
I
much
question
his
Ability
for
so
great
an
Employment
.
Oh
,
Sir
,
quo
Sancho
,
do
you
but
get
the
Earldom
,
and
ne're
trouble
your
head
about
my
Capacity
.
I
warrant
ye
,
I
'le
govern
it
,
take
you
no
farther
care
—
I
have
heard
'em
talk
of
a
sort
of
People
that
let
out
their
Lands
to
Farmers
,
and
these
Farmers
improve
and
till
those
Lands
,
as
if
they
were
their
own
,
while
their
Landlords
live
at
their
ease
,
gutling
and
swilling
up
their
Revenues
without
any
farther
Trouble
or
Perplexity
of
mind
.
Just
so
by
my
faith
will
I
do
,
I
find
no
difficulty
i'
the
matter
,
't
is
as
easie
as
pissing
;
I
'le
farm
out
my
Government
,
and
eat
and
drink
my
Rents
like
any
Prince
,
and
so
let
the
World
turn
round
or
stand
still
,
I
'le
never
busie
my
head
.
Judge
you
now
whether
I
am
capable
to
govern
an
Earldom
.
You
say
very
well
,
friend
Sancho
,
reply'd
the
Prebend
;
but
as
to
what
concerns
the
Administration
of
Justice
,
you
ought
not
to
be
so
indifferent
;
that
's
the
Earl's
main
business
to
look
after
,
and
which
requires
great
Prudence
and
Judgment
to
manage
;
and
above
all
,
an
honest
and
vertuous
Intention
to
determine
rightly
and
justly
which
is
to
be
the
beginning
and
end
of
all
his
Actions
.
For
as
God
ne're
fails
to
favour
Truth
and
Sincerity
,
so
he
ranverses
the
crafty
Designs
of
the
Wicked
.
I
understand
not
your
Gibberish
Philosophy
,
cry'd
Sancho
,
but
I
know
how
to
govern
an
Earldom
;
and
an
Earldom
I
would
fain
have
as
soon
as
I
could
,
for
I
have
a
Soul
and
a
Body
as
well
as
other
men
;
and
I
would
be
as
absolute
in
my
Earldom
,
as
a
King
in
his
Kingdom
:
I
would
do
what
I
list
;
and
doing
what
I
list
,
I
would
follow
my
own
Humour
;
and
following
my
own
Humour
,
I
would
be
contented
;
and
being
contented
,
I
should
ha'
nothing
more
to
desire
;
and
having
nothing
more
to
desire
,
What-a-devil
would
a
Man
have
more
?
Only
let's
have
the
Earldom
,
and
then
farewel
till
I
see
ye
again
,
as
one
blind
man
said
to
t'other
.
There
is
no
false
Latin
in
all
this
,
reply'd
the
Prebend
,
however
there
is
much
more
to
be
said
upon
this
very
Subject
of
Earldoms
.
I
know
not
what
there
is
more
to
be
said
,
quo
Don
Quixote
,
interrupting
him
,
but
this
I
am
sure
of
,
I
go
according
to
the
President
,
and
follow
the
Foot-steps
of
several
Knights
of
my
Profession
,
who
,
to
reward
their
Squires
,
have
made
'em
Lords
of
Islands
and
Cities
;
to
go
no
farther
then
Amadis
de
Gaul
,
who
made
his
Squire
Earl
of
the
Swimming
Island
.
Which
being
so
,
with
as
little
Scruple
of
Conscience
may
I
give
Sancho
an
Earldom
;
he
being
one
of
the
best
Squires
that
ever
attended
upon
a
Knight-Errant
,
and
had
he
been
born
in
former
Ages
,
might
ha'
been
a
Pattern
to
all
his
Successors
.
While
the
Prebend
was
admiring
at
the
strange
and
deep
Impressions
which
the
Study
of
Knight-Errantry
had
made
in
Don
Quixote's
Fancy
;
and
no
less
at
the
Simplicity
of
Sancho
,
who
thought
his
Master
could
ha'
giv'n
him
an
Earldom
with
as
much
ease
as
some
men
play
away
a
Mannor
,
the
Servants
return'd
from
the
Inn
with
the
Provision-Mule
;
who
having
spread
a
Carpet
upon
the
Grass
,
under
the
shade
of
certain
Trees
,
for
once
the
Company
made
a
shift
to
sit
down
like
Turks
,
and
fall
too
like
Christians
.
But
they
had
not
been
long
at
their
Repast
,
before
they
heard
the
sound
of
a
little
Bell
among
the
neighbouring
Bushes
,
and
by
and
by
they
saw
a
black
and
white
Goat
dance
out
of
a
Thicket
,
speckl'd
with
yellow
Spots
,
pursu'd
by
a
Goat-herd
endeavouring
to
stop
her
with
all
the
flattering
and
caressing
Language
imaginable
.
But
the
Goat
having
taken
some
distaste
,
and
unwilling
to
be
re-taken
,
ran
directly
to
the
Prebend
and
his
Company
;
where
being
stopp'd
,
the
Goatherd
having
caught
her
by
the
Horns
,
began
to
expostulate
with
the
dumb
Animal
,
as
if
't
had
been
the
rational
Goat
that
gave
Jupiter
suck
;
Ah
wanton
fugitive
,
cry'd
he
,
ye
spotted
Slut
,
whither
art
a
jumping
my
Dear
?
what
has
frighted
thee
my
Child
?
is
't
because
thou
art
a
Female
,
and
lovest
to
be
gadding
,
ha
?
Come
Nanny
,
come
Nanny
,
go
along
with
me
,
where
thou
shalt
be
safe
among
the
rest
of
thy
Companions
:
what
dost
thou
think
will
become
of
them
,
who
art
their
Guide
and
Mistress
,
if
thou
runn'st
a
rambling
a'
this
manner
?
The
Prebend
was
extreamly
pleas'd
with
the
Goat-herd's
Courtship
,
and
therefore
desir'd
him
not
to
be
so
hasty
to
carry
back
his
Goat
.
Friend
,
said
he
,
if
she
be
a
Female
,
as
thou
say'st
she
is
,
you
ought
to
let
her
have
her
will
;
for
if
she
have
a
mind
to
have
her
Fegaries
,
thou
't
find
it
a
hard
task
to
hinder
her
—
Here
,
here
,
come
and
eat
a
bit
,
and
drink
a
Cup
of
Wine
to
cool
thy
Passion
,
while
the
poor
Goat
lies
down
and
rests
her self
—
And
so
saying
,
he
gave
the
Goat-herd
the
Leg
of
a
cold
Rabbet
,
which
the
Goat's
Sweet-heart
took
with
a
Countrey
Congy
;
and
after
he
had
drank
,
with
a
b'
y'er
leave
Geontlemen
,
to
all
the
Company
,
Don't
ye
think
,
Geontlemen
,
quo
he
,
tho
che
sbeak
a
thick
manner
to
thick
Bieast
,
that
ch'am
a
meer
Glown
,
as
they
zay
.
What
ch'
ha'
zaid
to
the
Bieast
,
ch'
a'
zaid
,
and
there
's
more
in
't
then
you
are
aware
on
,
Geontlemen
—
Ch'am
a
Glown
,
't
is
drue
,
but
che
'
gnow
how
to
sbeak
to
Geontlevoke
,
as
well
as
to
Bieasts
.
I
am
apt
to
believe
it
,
reply'd
the
Curate
,
for
I
know
by
Experience
,
that
Contemplation
oftimes
seeks
the
lonely
Mountains
,
and
Wisdom
is
no
stranger
to
the
homely
Cottage
—
At
least
,
Gentlemen
,
changing
then
his
rustick
Dialect
,
they
may
sometimes
harbour
,
quo
the
Goat-herd
,
Men
of
Reason
and
common
Understanding
—
And
therefore
if
it
ben't
a
piece
of
Rudeness
to
intrude
into
your
Company
,
and
that
you
'll
be
pleas'd
to
hear
me
but
a
quarter
of
an
hour
,
I
'le
tell
ye
a
Story
to
confirm
the
Truth
of
what
the
Gentleman
has
said
.
Friend
,
quo
Don
Quixote
,
undertaking
for
the
whole
Company
,
i'
my
Conscience
,
I
smell
either
a
Knight-Errant
,
or
something
of
an
Adventure
in
your
Story
;
which
if
there
be
,
I
'le
lend
ye
my
Attention
with
all
my
Heart
,
and
so
I
dare
assure
ye
will
these
Gentlemen
,
whom
I
take
to
be
all
great
Admirers
of
Novelty
and
Curiosity
;
and
therefore
you
have
no
more
to
do
,
then
to
begin
as
soon
as
you
please
.
God
speed
ye
,
Gentlemen
,
quo
Sancho
,
a
hungry
Belly
has
no
Ears
;
and
therefore
give
me
leave
to
retire
to
yonder
Brook
with
my
share
,
where
I
intend
to
stuff
my
Guts
for
three
days
:
Squires
and
Ships
must
be
vittl'd
,
or
else
they
'll
do
no
Service
.
Besides
,
I
have
often
heard
my
Master
tell
me
,
that
your
Knight-Errants
Squires
must
lose
no
Opportunity
to
fill
the
Wallet
of
their
Stomachs
,
which
will
afterwards
have
leisure
enough
to
digest
its
Load
;
in
regard
that
many
times
it
is
their
hard
Fate
to
enter
into
a
wide
desart
Forrest
,
out
of
which
they
cannot
get
out
again
in
five
or
six
days
;
so
that
if
a
man
be
not
well
ballasted
before
hand
,
he
may
be
Food
for
the
Crows
,
for
want
of
Food
for
himself
.
Very
well
argu'd
,
Sancho
,
quo
Don
Quixote
,
go
where
thou
wilt
,
eat
what
thou
can'st
,
and
prudently
put
the
rest
i'
thy
Breeches
.
For
my
part
,
I
have
an
Appetite
soon
satisfy'd
,
and
therefore
having
fed
my
Body
,
I
am
now
for
feeding
my
Mind
,
as
valuing
the
Banquet
of
a
good
Story
,
beyond
all
the
costly
Viands
of
an
Emperor's
Table
.
We
are
all
of
the
same
mind
,
reply'd
the
Prebend
,
and
with
the
same
Earnestness
expect
the
first
Course
.
With
that
the
Goat-herd
stroaking
his
Beloved
upon
the
back
;
Lie
down
by
me
a
while
,
my
pretty
motley
Fool
,
quo
he
,
the
Day
's
not
so
far
spent
,
but
that
we
ha'
time
enough
to
return
to
the
Herd
.
Upon
which
,
they
say
,
the
intelligent
Creature
,
as
if
she
had
understood
his
Language
,
laid
her self
down
at
his
feet
,
and
looking
wistly
in
his
Face
,
seem'd
to
bid
him
proceed
,
which
he
did
after
this
manner
.
CHAP.
XXIV
.
Containing
the
Goat-herd's
Story
.
ABout
three
Leagues
from
this
Valley
,
in
a
small
Village
but
one
of
the
richest
in
all
these
parts
,
there
liv'd
a
wealthy
Farmer
,
well-belov'd
,
and
in
great
Reputation
among
all
his
Neighbours
,
tho
more
for
his
Vertue
and
good
Qualities
,
then
for
his
Estate
.
But
his
chiefest
Happiness
was
a
Daughter
,
beautiful
,
discreet
,
and
modest
beyond
compare
.
This
Damsel
was
not
above
sixteen
years
of
Age
,
when
the
Report
of
her
Perfections
spread
it self
over
all
the
neighbouring
Villages
,
and
at
length
arriv'd
in
distant
Cities
,
inflaming
the
young
Sparks
to
that
degree
,
that
they
came
far
and
near
to
behold
this
matchless
Master-piece
of
Nature
.
On
the
other
side
,
her
Father
had
a
watchful
Eye
over
her
,
as
being
the
only
Treasure
i'
this
World
,
which
he
most
highly
priz'd
;
tho
indeed
his
Care
was
needless
,
she
being
of
her self
so
reserv'd
and
wary
of
her
Honour
.
Nor
was
it
without
reason
,
for
being
an
Heiress
to
a
considerable
Competency
,
the
Fame
of
her
Beauty
,
and
her
Father's
Acres
,
drew
a
mighty
Resort
of
young
Whipsters
to
the
House
;
some
passionately
enamour'd
of
her
Person
,
others
in
love
with
her
Fortune
,
and
others
with
both
together
;
some
i'
their
lac'd
Coats
and
Point-Cravats
,
some
of
meaner
Rank
,
with
red
and
blew
Ribbands
under
their
Chins
,
of
all
Sizes
and
Professions
;
so
that
in
the
midst
of
so
much
Variety
,
the
poor
man
was
extreamly
troubl'd
where
to
fix
,
well-knowing
his
Daughter
could
have
but
one
at
a
time
.
Among
this
numerous
Croud
of
Pretenders
,
I
was
one
who
had
not
the
least
reason
to
hope
well
for
my self
,
as
being
of
the
same
Village
,
well
known
to
her
Father
to
be
descended
of
honest
Parents
;
besides
that
,
he
understood
both
my
Estate
,
and
my
Age
;
and
then
again
,
I
was
lookt
upon
i'
the
Countrey
to
be
no
Fop
.
All
which
put
together
,
contributed
very
much
to
the
Conclusion
of
the
Match
.
But
there
was
at
the
same
time
another
Lad
i'
the
same
Town
,
hopeful
and
handsom
,
and
indeed
my
equal
in
every
thing
;
who
making
the
same
Applications
that
I
did
,
made
the
Father
totter
in
his
Opinion
what
to
say
,
or
what
to
think
,
finding
us
both
fit
Matches
for
his
Daughter
.
In
this
Confusion
he
determin'd
to
leave
it
wholly
to
the
fair
Leandra's
choice
(
for
that
was
the
Name
of
the
Damsel
)
that
he
might
not
seem
to
impose
upon
her
Affection
.
I
know
not
what
Answer
Leandra
made
him
,
but
this
I'
m
sure
of
,
that
the
Father
still
put
us
both
off
from
time
to
time
,
neither
condescending
nor
refusing
,
but
pretending
to
both
,
that
his
Daughter
was
not
of
Years
yet
ripe
enough
to
marry
.
Therein
doing
like
a
prudent
Father
,
in
propounding
a
good
Choice
,
but
leaving
his
Daughter
to
please
her self
.
By
the
way
you
are
to
understand
,
that
my
Rival's
Name
was
Anselm
,
and
mine
Eugenio
,
two
of
the
chief
Persons
concern'd
in
this
Story
that
begins
with
Love
,
but
ends
a
little
odly
.
Now
while
we
were
thus
kept
at
the
Stave's
end
in
a
Dilatory
Suspence
,
there
came
to
the
Village
a
certain
young
Swash-buckler
,
whose
Name
was
Thomas
of
Waltham
,
the
Son
of
a
ravenous
Pettifogger
,
that
liv'd
in
the
same
Hamlet
.
This
Thomas
of
Waltham
,
at
twelve
Years
of
Age
,
ran
away
from
his
Father
,
and
having
rambl'd
Flanders
and
the
Low
Countries
,
where
he
pretended
to
put
his
Cheats
upon
the
Duke
of
Luxemburgh
and
the
Prince
of
Orange
,
twelve
years
after
that
return'd
home
again
in
the
Habit
of
a
Souldier
,
but
so
bedizon'd
with
Glass-beads
of
a
thousand
Colours
,
set
in
Branches
of
St.
Martin's
Wier
,
that
he
made
a
more
glistring
shew
i'
the
Sun
,
then
a
Prince
of
Guinney
;
and
these
Beads
he
so
well
knew
how
to
chop
and
change
,
and
put
others
in
their
places
,
that
he
seem'd
to
have
a
new
Suite
for
every
Day
i'
the
Month
.
The
Countrey
People
,
who
are
naturally
malicious
,
and
when
they
have
nothing
to
do
,
become
as
envious
as
the
Devil
himself
,
could
not
be
content
to
admire
,
but
set
themselves
to
examine
diligently
this
same
odd
sort
of
Jay-like
Bravery
.
And
at
length
by
strict
Observation
found
,
that
he
had
no
more
then
three
different
Suits
of
Apparel
of
ordinary
Stuffs
;
but
he
had
so
many
fantastick
Tricks
and
Inventions
to
disguise
'em
,
that
you
wou'd
ha'
sworn
he
had
had
a
Duke's
Wardrobe
.
He
would
usually
sit
upon
a
Bench
under
a
spreading
Oak
that
grew
in
the
Village
,
and
there
make
long
Relations
of
his
Adventures
,
and
his
famous
Atchievements
;
there
was
not
any
part
of
the
World
where
he
had
not
set
his
feet
;
not
a
considerable
Battel
had
been
fought
,
wherein
he
had
not
been
present
;
he
had
kill'd
more
Moors
then
all
Barbary
contain'd
;
he
had
fought
more
Duels
then
all
the
Bullies
in
London
,
in
every
one
of
which
he
had
still
come
off
with
Victory
.
Then
he
would
pretend
to
shew
us
the
Scars
of
Wounds
,
which
tho
they
could
not
be
discern'd
,
yet
he
made
us
believe
they
were
the
Shots
and
Slashes
which
he
had
receiv'd
in
several
desperate
Encounters
;
he
was
so
arrogant
,
that
he
would
Dick
and
Tom
,
and
Thou
and
Thee
his
Superiours
with
an
unusual
Insolence
,
boasting
that
his
Arm
was
his
only
Parent
,
and
his
Atchievements
were
his
Pedigree
;
and
that
being
as
he
was
a
Souldier
,
he
was
not
inferiour
to
the
King
himself
.
Besides
these
rare
Qualities
,
he
could
sing
a
little
better
then
a
Countrey
Parish-Clerk
;
he
had
a
Voice
like
a
Bird
call'd
a
Swine
,
and
scrap'd
upon
a
Violin
like
a
Countrey
Fidler
.
But
his
chief
Excellency
lay
in
his
Poetry
,
for
he
had
his
Rhymes
ready
upon
all
Occasions
,
as
if
he
had
emulated
the
great
Fame
of
Poet
Ninny
;
and
if
a
Wench
did
but
fart
in
her
sleep
,
would
scribble
ye
two
or
three
Sheets
upon
the
Subject
in
a
Quarter
of
an
hour
;
so
that
he
furnish'd
the
whole
Village
with
wast
Paper
for
a
long
time
.
Now
this
Thomas
of
Waltham
,
this
Bugle-merchant
,
this
Gusman
,
this
Braggadoshio
,
this
Huff-snuff
,
this
Doggerel-Rhymer
,
did
the
more
fair
then
wise
Leandra
behold
from
a
Window
of
her
Father's
House
,
and
was
presently
smitten
;
the
Souldier's
invisible
Weapons
immediately
wounded
her
Heart
;
his
Pedlar's
Trinkets
dazl'd
her
Eyes
;
she
was
charm'd
with
his
Rodomontado's
,
she
look'd
upon
him
as
a
second
Sir
Eglamore
,
took
every
thing
for
Gold
that
glister'd
,
and
the
Devil
owing
her
a
particular
Shame
,
she
fell
so
desperately
in
love
with
this
same
Son
of
Ostentation
,
that
she
became
his
Prisoner
before
he
had
the
confidence
to
summon
her
to
a
Surrender
;
and
as
no
Intrigue
in
Love
is
carry'd
on
so
smoothly
as
that
,
where
the
Gallant
is
favour'd
by
his
Mistress
,
't
was
a
Match
between
Leandra
and
Thomas
of
Waltham
,
before
either
of
us
had
the
least
Suspicion
of
it
;
for
Argus
himself
,
had
he
been
sent
to
watch
her
,
would
ne're
ha'
suspected
such
a
Thief
as
he
.
In
short
,
the
business
being
thus
suddenly
concluded
,
and
the
time
appointed
,
the
precious
Map
of
Modesty
makes
up
her
Fardle
,
(
for
still
you
must
know
,
that
in
such
Cases
as
these
the
Father
always
entrusts
his
beloved
Darling
with
the
Keys
of
his
Treasure
)
takes
one
of
the
Old
Man's
best
Geldings
,
and
away
she
troops
as
fine
as
Pins
could
make
her
,
with
she
hardly
knew
whom
,
she
scarcely
knew
whither
.
An
Accident
so
unexpected
strangely
surpriz'd
the
whole
Village
,
which
was
presently
all
in
an
Uproar
;
the
Father
tore
his
Beard
from
his
Chin
,
while
poor
Anselm
and
I
,
amaz'd
,
distracted
,
confounded
,
and
overwhelm'd
with
Despair
,
were
ready
to
hang
our selves
in
our
own
Garters
,
for
Grief
and
Sorrow
.
Presently
Hue
and
Cry
was
sent
after
the
two
Fugitives
with
all
the
speed
imaginable
;
and
the
Officers
,
partly
for
love
of
the
Old
Man
,
partly
well
paid
before-hand
,
us'd
such
diligence
,
and
made
such
haste
,
that
in
three
days
they
found
Leandra
stript
to
her
very
Skin
(
for
Thomas
of
Waltham
was
rid
away
with
all
the
rest
,
but
her
Maiden-head
,
not
thinking
it
safe
to
stay
the
taking
it
along
with
him
.
)
In
that
Condition
,
only
with
an
old
Coat
left
her
in
Charity
to
hide
her
Nakedness
,
they
brought
her
back
to
her
Father
,
to
whom
she
confess'd
that
Thomas
of
Waltham
had
deceiv'd
her
,
got
her
good
Will
,
and
perswaded
her
to
along
with
him
to
the
Devil's
Arse
i'
the
Peak
,
or
some
place
or
other
where
he
had
vast
Preferments
,
and
where
she
should
be
the
Lord
knows
what
.
By
which
means
abusing
her
easiness
and
the
Confidence
she
had
in
him
,
he
carry'd
her
the
same
Night
to
the
Cave
where
they
found
her
,
and
where
the
Raggamuffin
,
after
he
had
stript
her
,
left
her
to
condole
her
Folly
and
Misfortune
,
without
offering
any
other
Violence
to
her
Body
.
Which
was
a
difficult
thing
to
believe
of
a
lustful
,
rough-hewn
young
Gusman
as
he
was
.
But
Leandra
made
so
many
Protestations
of
the
Truth
of
her
Paramour's
Continency
,
that
her
Father
over-joy'd
he
had
her
again
unplunder'd
of
her
most
inestimable
Jewel
,
forgave
her
all
the
rest
of
his
Losses
.
However
,
the
same
day
she
appear'd
,
she
vanish'd
again
,
being
privately
convey'd
away
to
a
safer
Lock
and
Key
then
his
own
,
in
a
Nunnery
distant
some
few
miles
off
,
hoping
that
time
would
obliterate
the
Miscarriage
of
her
imprudent
Heat
.
't
is
true
,
that
they
who
had
only
a
Neighbourly
Kindness
for
the
Maid
,
were
willing
to
accept
her
Youth
for
a
satisfactory
Excuse
of
her
Vanity
,
and
improvident
Rashness
.
But
they
who
were
well
acquainted
with
her
Wit
and
Discretion
in
other
things
,
rather
blame
the
natural
Inclination
of
Women
,
which
is
fickle
and
humoursome
.
As
for
Anselm
,
ever
since
Leandra's
first
disappearing
,
he
is
fall'n
into
a
deep
Melancholy
,
sits
musing
and
picking
a'
Straws
,
like
a
Changeling
;
and
't
is
thought
't
will
come
to
that
in
time
,
that
we
shall
see
him
sitting
upon
the
High-way
in
a
long
Coat
and
a
clean
Bib
,
begging
the
Charity
of
Travellers
.
And
for
my
own
part
,
that
lov'd
her
dearly
,
and
perhaps
may
have
a
Kindness
for
her
still
,
I
am
in
such
a
Quandary
,
that
I
know
not
whether
I
shall
ever
see
the
Female
Sex
more
:
Which
has
made
me
retire
into
this
Valley
,
where
I
feed
a
Herd
of
Beasts
,
as
wanton
as
Women
,
but
more
easie
to
be
rul'd
.
How
many
Curses
have
I
bestow'd
upon
that
Son
of
a
Whore
Gusman
?
How
many
times
have
I
blam'd
the
Carelesness
of
Leandra's
Father
,
that
had
not
a
stricter
Watch
over
her
?
Nay
,
how
many
times
have
I
bestow'd
a
kind
Malediction
upon
Leandra
her self
,
for
her
Folly
and
Indiscretion
?
But
all
signifies
not
a
Rush
;
so
that
I
know
not
whether
I
should
abide
here
any
longer
,
were
it
not
to
behold
the
Folly
of
others
.
For
you
must
know
,
these
Mountains
are
full
of
Leandra's
Inamorato's
,
as
if
Arcady
were
remov'd
hither
;
at
least
,
these
desert
Hills
are
become
the
Habitations
of
such
a
number
of
puling
,
whining
Lovers
,
as
may
justly
give
these
Groves
and
Thickets
the
Title
of
Fools
Paradise
.
Here
is
nothing
else
to
be
heard
but
Leandra's
Name
.
One
Shepherd
calls
her
Fanstatick
and
Light
;
another
,
Easie
and
Imprudent
;
some
accuse
and
justifie
her
,
all
in
a
Breath
;
some
talk
of
her
Beauty
,
others
bemoan
her
Absence
,
others
blame
her
for
all
the
Misfortunes
which
they
suffer
;
almost
all
despise
,
and
all
adore
her
;
some
complain
of
her
Cruelty
that
never
saw
her
i'
their
lives
;
and
others
are
jealous
of
her
,
that
never
had
any
Occasion
;
for
she
dispos'd
of
her
Body
before
any
one
could
claim
an
Interest
in
her
Heart
.
Here
sits
one
upon
the
Clift
of
a
Rock
,
with
his
Arms
a-cross
,
and
his
Hat
over
his
Eyes
,
bewailing
his
Misfortunes
;
there
sits
another
by
the
side
of
a
purling
Stream
,
invoking
Heaven
to
witness
he
knows
not
what
himself
;
there
lies
another
leaning
upon
his
Elbow
at
the
foot
of
a
shady
Tree
,
breathing
out
loud
Complaints
to
the
silent
Air
,
against
a
person
that
never
did
'em
any
harm
,
God
knows
.
The
Trees
,
for
ought
I
find
,
are
the
only
Sufferers
,
as
being
daily
wounded
and
gash'd
to
make
way
for
Leandra's
Name
.
And
thus
the
Name
of
Leandra
,
that
I
dare
say
,
never
dreams
of
any
of
these
her
raving
Admirers
,
bewitches
and
enchants
'em
after
the
strangest
manner
i'
the
World
,
while
they
live
continually
in
Hopes
and
Fears
,
yet
know
not
what
to
hope
,
nor
what
to
expect
.
But
among
the
whole
Crowd
of
these
Fopdoodles
,
there
is
none
so
frantick
as
my
Rival
Anselm
,
who
having
the
most
just
Complaints
of
any
but
my self
,
to
make
,
and
perhaps
not
without
reason
,
does
nothing
all
day
long
but
bewail
her
Absence
,
when
he
knows
the
way
to
her
again
;
and
if
that
be
all
he
has
to
except
against
,
I
dare
say
,
might
be
a
welcome
Guest
to
her
Father
,
who
would
be
glad
to
see
his
Daughter's
Reputation
stitch'd
up
again
upon
any
Conditions
.
For
my
part
,
I
think
I
take
a
wiser
Course
,
for
I
spend
my
time
in
exclaiming
against
the
Inconstancy
of
Women
,
the
Falshood
of
their
Promises
;
and
in
laughing
at
the
Folly
of
their
Actions
,
their
Scorn
and
Contempt
of
those
that
truly
love
'em
,
and
their
fantastick
Choice
of
Fools
and
Knaves
.
And
then
come
the
Descants
of
the
World
,
when
she
's
sent
home
again
to
her
Parents
,
without
a
Rag
to
her
Tail
—
She
was
told
on
't
—
but
she
would
not
be
advis'd
by
her
Friends
—
She
might
have
had
an
honest
Gentleman
—
but
she
would
needs
have
a
Royster
—
and
now
she
may
thank
her
unpity'd
self
—
And
this
,
Gentlemen
,
was
the
meaning
of
those
words
which
I
talk'd
to
my
Goat
,
when
I
follow'd
her
to
this
place
,
for
which
I
have
but
a
very
small
Respect
,
as
being
a
Female
,
tho
she
be
one
of
the
fairest
in
my
Herd
.
I
know
not
whether
my
Story
may
have
answer'd
your
Expectation
,
however
,
if
you
please
to
go
along
with
me
to
my
Cottage
hard
by
,
I
will
endeavour
to
repair
the
Injury
I
ha'
done
ye
,
with
a
short
Collation
of
Cheese
,
and
Milk
,
and
Fruits
of
the
Season
,
which
perhaps
may
be
more
acceptable
.
CHAP.
XXV
.
Containing
the
quarrel
between
Don
Quixote
and
the
Goat-herd
,
and
the
rare
Adventure
of
the
Penitents
,
which
cost
him
the
Sweat
of
his
Brows
to
accomplish
.
THE
Story
pleas'd
the
whole
Company
,
especially
the
Prebend
,
who
highly
applauded
the
Goat-herd's
Elocution
;
who
was
now
no
more
in
his
Thoughts
the
Clown
and
Rustick
which
he
took
him
to
be
,
but
a
Person
literate
,
and
of
excellent
Sense
;
of
whom
the
Curate
had
reason
to
say
,
That
the
desart
Mountains
were
not
always
without
Men
of
Wit
,
and
such
as
knew
the
World
.
Therefore
they
repaid
him
with
all
the
Civilities
and
kind
Offers
imaginable
:
but
Don
Quixote
,
more
liberal
then
any
of
the
rest
,
Truly
,
honest
Friend
,
said
he
,
were
I
in
a
Condition
to
undertake
an
Adventure
,
I
would
make
it
my
business
to
serve
ye
,
without
delay
.
For
I
would
go
immediately
and
tear
Leandra
out
of
the
Nunnery
,
where
,
without
question
she
is
detain'd
against
her
Will
;
and
in
despite
of
the
Abbess
,
and
all
the
Monks
and
Nuns
under
Heaven
,
would
surrender
her
into
your
hands
,
to
dispose
of
at
your
own
pleasure
;
observing
however
,
the
Laws
of
Chivalry-Errant
,
which
do
not
permit
the
least
Injury
to
be
done
to
Ladies
.
But
I
hope
in
God
,
the
Malice
of
a
villainous
Inchanter
will
not
always
be
so
powerful
,
but
that
another
Necromancer
better
affected
,
will
deliver
me
out
of
his
Clutches
,
and
then
I
will
secure
ye
both
my
Favour
and
Assistance
,
according
to
the
Laws
of
my
Profession
,
which
oblige
me
to
the
Relief
of
those
that
are
oppressed
.
The
Goat-heard
,
who
had
as
yet
taken
little
notice
of
Don
Quixote
,
hearing
him
utter
such
Romantick
Bombast
,
view'd
him
from
heat
to
foot
,
but
finding
neither
his
Habit
,
nor
his
Physiognomy
correspondent
to
his
Offers
,
he
turn'd
to
the
Barber
that
sate
next
him
,
and
whispering
him
in
the
Ear
;
Sir
,
said
he
,
who
is
this
person
that
talks
at
this
extravagant
rate
?
I
never
saw
such
a
strange
Creature
i'
my
life
.
't
is
a
sign
you
live
in
a
Forest
,
quo
the
Barber
;
who
should
it
be
but
the
famous
Don
Quixote
de
la
Mancha
,
the
Flail
of
Oppression
,
the
Revenger
of
Injuries
,
the
Protector
of
Ladies
,
the
Ribroaster
of
Giants
,
invincible
in
Battel
?
This
,
quo
the
Goat-heard
,
is
just
like
what
we
read
i'
your
Books
of
Knight-Errants
,
who
were
all
such
a
sort
of
Desperado's
.
But
for
my
part
,
I
am
apt
to
think
you
are
only
merry
with
the
Gentleman
,
as
one
that
has
empty
Lodgings
to
let
in
his
Costard
.
Ye
damn'd
insolent
Son
of
thirty
Tinkers
,
cry'd
Don
Quixote
,
't
is
thou
art
the
Skimmer-scull'd
Rascal
—
I
have
a
thousand
times
more
Brains
then
the
carted
Bawd
thy
Mother
,
and
all
thy
Bitch-whelp'd
Generation
;
and
so
saying
,
he
took
up
a
Six-penny
Loaf
that
stood
upon
the
Table
,
and
flung
it
with
such
a
malicious
fury
at
the
Goat-herd's
Head
,
that
the
hard
Crust
had
almost
levell'd
his
Nose
with
his
Face
,
and
loosen'd
all
his
Fore
teeth
.
The
Goat-herd
not
understanding
such
kind
of
Railery
,
and
as
hasty
to
return
Civility
for
Civility
,
never
minded
Table
cloth
,
nor
Victuals
,
nor
the
Squeezing
of
Tarts
as
flat
as
Pan-cakes
,
but
flew
upon
Don
Quixote
,
and
catching
him
by
the
Throat
,
had
throatl'd
him
without
mercy
,
had
not
Sancho
,
taking
him
by
the
Shoulders
,
pull'd
him
backward
,
cross
the
Collation
,
upon
Dishes
,
Pots
,
and
Glasses
,
among
the
Relicks
and
Orts
of
the
Prebend's
good
Chear
.
On
the
other
side
,
Don
Quixote
finding
himself
free
,
threw
himself
again
upon
the
Goat-herd
,
who
being
thus
unequally
beset
,
two
for
one
,
with
his
Face
and
Eyes
all
bruis'd
,
and
Sancho
still
laying
on
like
a
Loathbury
Brazier
,
felt
about
for
one
o'
the
Carving-knives
to
have
tak'n
a
fatal
Revenge
,
by
tapping
the
Breast
and
Guts
of
Knight
and
Squire
both
at
once
.
But
the
Prebend
had
warily
caus'd
those
unlawful
Weapons
to
be
remov'd
out
of
the
way
;
so
that
't
was
only
a
desperate
kind
of
Counter-scuffle
,
where
neither
Dish
nor
Cup
could
stand
still
,
but
the
Salutations
were
so
rude
and
unmannerly
,
that
tho
the
Meat
was
well
drest
,
the
Guests
were
all
raw
,
and
the
Blood
ran
about
their
Chaps
,
as
if
they
had
been
Cannibals
feeding
one
upon
another
.
And
as
yet
the
Goat-herd
had
the
worse
,
till
the
Barber
willing
to
see
a
little
fair
Play
,
gave
him
an
Opportunity
to
get
upon
Don
Quixote
,
who
then
bestriding
the
Knight
,
ply'd
him
so
fast
with
his
Knuckles
,
that
he
was
even
with
the
Hero
for
the
Blood
which
he
had
lost
before
;
and
now
you
'd
ha'
sworn
they
had
both
put
on
their
Visor-Masks
to
hide
their
own
handy
Work
;
Dust
and
Blood
had
so
bemoyl'd
their
Faces
,
where
their
Eyes
were
no
more
to
be
seen
for
the
Rainbows
and
Swellings
that
usually
accompany
such
kind
of
Horse-play
.
The
Prebend
and
the
Curate
were
ready
to
burst
;
the
Bailiffs
hoop'd
and
hollow'd
,
clapp'd
their
hands
,
and
with
Halloos
,
and
to
him
Lion
,
there
Brindle
,
set
'em
on
as
they
do
Mastiffs
i'
the
Street
.
Only
Sancho
was
as
mad
as
a
March-Hare
,
to
find
himself
held
by
one
of
the
Prebend's
Servants
,
to
prevent
his
helping
the
Knight
his
Master
.
Now
while
this
Bear-garden
Sport
made
all
the
rest
of
the
Company
merry
,
but
the
two
Combatants
,
who
lay
battering
one
another
with
an
unspeakable
Antipathy
,
what
animates
to
fight
at
other
times
,
did
here
dissolve
the
Fray
.
For
by
and
by
they
heard
the
sound
of
a
Trumpet
so
sad
and
doleful
,
that
it
enforc'd
their
Ears
to
a
more
then
ordinary
Attention
.
But
it
wrought
upon
none
so
much
as
it
did
upon
Don
Quixote
;
who
,
tho
he
lay
full
sore
against
his
Will
under
the
Oppression
of
the
Goat-herd's
Body
,
more
then
moderately
bruis'd
and
pounded
,
and
unable
to
relieve
himself
,
yet
was
his
Spirit
of
Revenge
at
that
time
willing
to
submit
to
that
of
his
Curiosity
.
And
therefore
Brother
Devil
,
quo
he
;
for
other
then
a
Devil
thou
canst
not
be
,
that
hast
both
Valour
and
Strength
to
equal
mine
;
prethee
let
's
make
a
Truce
,
and
leave
off
this
same
Butcherly
Boxing
;
I
am
quite
weary
of
it
—
besides
that
,
I
am
perswaded
the
dolorous
Sound
of
this
same
Trumpet
calls
me
to
the
more
noble
Recreation
of
killing
out-right
.
Upon
which
the
Goat-herd
,
no
less
weary
of
pounding
,
then
being
pounded
,
presently
gave
off
;
at
what
time
Don
Quixote
getting
upon
his
Legs
,
after
he
had
shook
his
Limbs
and
wip'd
his
Face
,
turn'd
himself
toward
the
place
from
whence
the
sound
came
,
and
presently
spy'd
descending
down
the
side
of
a
Hill
several
People
clad
in
white
,
which
others
readily
discern'd
to
be
a
Cluster
of
Penitents
,
but
Don
Quixote
strongly
fancy'd
to
be
Devils
in
Masquerade
.
Now
it
seems
there
had
no
Rain
fall'n
all
that
year
,
which
made
the
Countrey
People
think
it
convenient
to
implore
the
mercy
of
Heav'n
by
a
devout
Procession
to
a
Hermitage
that
lay
at
the
foot
of
the
Mountain
.
But
Don
Quixote
no
sooner
beheld
the
strange
Habiliments
of
the
Penitents
,
but
he
imagin'd
it
to
be
some
desperate
Adventure
which
he
was
to
undertake
,
as
being
the
only
Knight-Errant
in
the
Company
.
And
that
which
confirm'd
him
in
this
reverend
piece
of
Dotage
,
was
an
Image
cover'd
with
Mourning
,
carry'd
by
the
Penitents
,
which
he
took
to
be
some
forlorn
Princess
,
which
those
Miscreants
,
and
disloyal
Knights
had
ravish'd
away
by
force
,
and
were
hurrying
to
some
dismal
Castle
of
their
own
.
Full
of
these
Imaginations
,
he
buckles
on
his
Armour
,
shoulders
his
Buckler
,
and
having
mounted
Rosinante
with
no
less
speed
;
Now
,
Lords
and
Gentlemen
,
quo
he
,
be
patient
a
while
,
and
you
shall
see
how
vastly
it
concerns
the
whole
World
,
that
there
should
be
persons
like
my self
,
that
make
Profession
of
Knight-Errantry
.
Now
I
say
,
the
Hour
is
come
,
that
you
,
beholding
my
courageous
Actions
in
setting
at
liberty
this
captive
Lady
,
shall
acknowledge
the
high
Honour
that
is
due
to
the
Lambasters
of
the
Wicked
.
And
so
saying
,
he
clapp'd
his
Heels
to
Rosinante's
Sides
,
as
having
lost
his
Spurs
,
and
putting
on
a
good
round
Gallop
(
for
in
all
this
true
History
you
never
read
,
that
ever
Rosinante
trotted
)
rode
directly
toward
the
Penitents
,
who
little
dreamt
of
the
Storm
that
was
coming
,
while
they
were
praying
for
Rain
.
And
all
this
,
notwithstanding
the
vigorous
Endeavours
of
the
Prebend
and
Curate
to
restrain
him
,
and
little
regarding
Sancho's
Exclamations
,
who
yauling
incessantly
after
him
,
cry'd
out
,
Where
the
Devil
are
ye
posting
,
Master
Don
Quixote
?
Does
Beelzebub
himself
possess
ye
,
thus
to
send
ye
a
tilting
against
the
Catholick
Faith
?
Don't
ye
see
't
is
only
a
Procession
?
and
that
the
Lady
which
they
carry
upon
that
same
Pedestal
,
is
the
Image
of
the
blessed
Virgin
—
Upon
my
life
y'
are
distracted
—
Master
—
Master
—
Hey
—
Master
—
Master
come
back
i'
the
Devil's
Name
,
and
don't
ride
headlong
to
Hell
.
But
Sancho
worry'd
his
Lungs
in
vain
;
for
his
Master
was
so
bent
upon
delivering
the
Lady
i'
the
Mourning
,
that
he
would
not
ha'
return'd
back
,
no
,
not
for
the
Pope
himself
,
nor
all
the
Perswasions
of
the
whole
Council
of
Trent
.
Stopping
Rosinante
,
therefore
,
within
twenty
Paces
of
the
Procession
,
with
a
hoarse
and
furious
Tone
;
Hold
Rake-hells
,
cry'd
he
,
that
under
sacred
Vestments
,
disguise
the
worst
of
Miscreants
,
attend
and
heark'n
to
my
Words
—
The
first
that
stood
still
,
were
those
that
carry'd
the
Image
;
at
what
time
one
of
the
four
Priests
that
sang
the
Letanies
,
beholding
Don
Quixote's
extravagant
Garb
,
the
meagre
Ribs
of
Rosinante
,
and
several
other
ridiculous
Circumstances
,
which
he
observ'd
in
the
menacing
Champion
;
Friend
,
said
he
,
if
you
have
any
thing
to
say
to
us
,
speak
it
quickly
;
for
all
this
while
these
poor
People
are
scourging
their
own
Flesh
,
and
we
have
no
leisure
to
hear
a
long
Discourse
.
Why
then
,
reply'd
Don
Quixote
,
in
short
—
Pray
release
that
fair
Lady
,
whose
disconsolate
Looks
and
Tears
sufficiently
declare
,
that
you
have
done
her
some
ungracious
Injury
,
and
that
you
are
hawling
her
away
from
her
Parents
and
Kindred
,
against
her
Will
.
For
my
part
,
I
came
into
the
World
to
prevent
such
Violences
as
these
,
and
cannot
therefore
in
Honour
consent
to
let
ye
pass
,
till
ye
have
restor'd
her
to
her
desir'd
Liberty
.
There
needed
no
more
to
confirm
those
People
,
that
Don
Quixote
was
no
wiser
then
his
Father
had
begot
him
;
so
that
they
could
not
forbear
laughing
in
his
Champion
like
Face
:
and
it
is
to
be
fear'd
,
that
one
was
so
bold
as
to
bid
him
troop
about
his
own
Business
,
like
a
Fool
as
he
was
—
But
this
was
to
set
a
lighted
Match
to
a
Barrel
of
Gun-powder
—
For
Don
Quixote
enrag'd
to
see
himself
derided
,
made
directly
,
with
his
Sword
drawn
,
toward
the
Image
.
At
what
time
one
of
the
persons
that
carry'd
it
,
leaving
his
Employment
to
the
rest
of
his
Companions
,
ran
to
meet
the
menacing
Hero
,
with
one
of
the
Forks
that
sustain'd
the
Pageant
when
it
rested
in
any
place
:
Which
,
tho
the
mighty
Champion
slit
in
two
pieces
with
the
first
Blow
of
his
Sword
that
he
struck
,
yet
with
the
other
half
that
remain'd
,
the
stout
Opponent
return'd
the
Knight
such
a
use
of
Admonition
upon
the
right
Shoulder
,
that
his
Buckler
not
being
bound
to
take
care
of
both
sides
,
the
Violence
of
the
Randan-Rub
fetch'd
him
from
his
Steed
to
the
Ground
,
where
he
lay
yerking
with
his
Legs
at
first
,
like
a
Capon
newly
Neck-twisted
,
and
by
and
by
became
as
motionless
as
the
Image
he
sought
to
deliver
.
Sancho
,
who
still
follow'd
his
Master
,
came
in
puffing
and
blowing
just
at
the
God-speed
of
this
unfortunate
Mischance
;
and
seeing
the
dismounted
Knight
in
that
bad
and
disastrous
Condition
,
cry'd
out
to
the
Countreyman
to
hold
his
hand
,
for
that
his
Master
was
a
poor
silly
inchanted
Knight
that
never
did
any
body
harm
in
his
life
.
However
,
't
was
not
Sancho's
Intercession
that
stopp'd
the
Countryman's
Fury
,
but
his
own
Fears
;
for
he
perceiving
that
Don
Quixote
lay
like
a
Dormouse
in
a
Box
of
Cotton
,
not
so
much
as
wagging
Hand
or
Foot
,
verily
believ'd
he
had
murder'd
him
;
and
therefore
tucking
up
his
long
Gown
about
his
Waste
,
for
Expedition-sake
,
he
fell
a'
running
,
as
if
the
Constable
and
all
his
Watch
had
been
at
his
Heels
.
By
this
time
the
Curate
and
the
Prebend
,
with
all
the
rest
of
Don
Quixote's
Company
were
come
into
the
end
of
the
Fray
;
upon
whose
Approach
,
the
Processioners
beholding
the
Bailiffs
with
their
Swords
and
Pistols
,
and
conceiting
Revenge
i'
their
heated
Countenances
,
cluster'd
together
about
the
Image
,
and
lifting
up
their
Veils
,
the
Penitents
with
their
Scourges
,
and
the
Priests
with
their
Torches
,
resolv'd
to
abide
the
Assault
,
and
defend
themselves
and
their
Idol
,
as
well
as
they
could
.
But
Fortune
order'd
the
Business
better
then
they
could
expect
,
to
the
Advantage
and
Satisfaction
of
both
Parties
.
For
while
Sancho
lay
stretch'd
out
at
his
full
lenghth
over
his
Master's
Body
,
most
dolefully
lamenting
and
bewailing
him
for
dead
,
the
Curate
happen'd
to
be
known
to
the
Curate
of
the
Procession
,
which
presently
dispers'd
all
Fears
and
Jealousies
on
both
sides
;
so
that
the
Curate
having
given
his
Brother
Parson
a
short
Account
who
Don
Quixote
was
,
they
went
all
together
,
Penitents
and
all
,
to
see
if
he
were
within
the
Cure
of
Spruce-bear
and
Irish-slate
,
or
no
.
But
when
they
came
near
the
Thing
that
seem'd
to
lie
for
dead
,
like
one
of
the
Knights
of
Jerusalem
i'
the
Temple
Rounds
,
there
they
found
Sancho
with
the
Tears
trickling
down
his
Cheeks
as
big
as
counterfeit
Pearls
,
and
making
his
Master's
Funeral-oration
in
these
Words
:
Bright
Flower
of
Chivalry
,
quo
he
,
by
Ignominious
Cudgel
thus
laid
low
,
a
Sacrifice
to
a
damn'd
Sexton's
Wrath
;
farewel
eternal
Honour
of
thy
Race
,
not
only
Mancha's
Darling
,
but
the
whole
World's
Glory
,
now
by
thy
death
become
like
a
defenceless
Orphan
,
expos'd
to
the
Rage
and
Violence
of
wicked
men
,
that
fearless
now
of
thy
chastizing
Arm
,
will
ravish
Vertue
,
and
set
Justice
naked
with
her
Heels
upward
.
Liberal
above
a
thousand
Alexanders
,
who
for
eight
Months
Service
only
,
hadst
enrich'd
me
with
one
of
the
best
Islands
i'
the
World
!
O
thou
that
wert
humble
to
the
Proud
,
and
lofty
to
the
humble
,
that
frightedst
every
one
,
of
all
afraid
;
daring
in
Danger
,
tame
Sufferer
of
Affronts
;
a
Lover
of
Shadows
,
the
Scourge
of
Oppressors
,
and
Enemy
of
Penitents
,
as
Oppressors
of
themselves
!
In
a
word
,
a
Knight-Errant
,
and
then
what
Tongue
of
Mortals
can
say
more
?
But
only
farewel
Master
,
farewel
Islands
,
farewel
all
the
World
.
These
loud
Moans
and
Lamentations
fetch'd
Don
Quixote
again
to
himself
;
at
what
time
,
after
a
long
and
profound
Sigh
,
which
was
the
first
Sign
he
gave
of
Life
;
He
that
is
absent
,
quo
he
,
from
Thee
,
most
peerless
Dulcinea
,
can
never
be
other
then
miserable
—
Help
me
,
dear
Sancho
,
once
more
into
the
Inchanted
Chariot
,
for
I
am
not
in
a
Condition
to
bestride
unruly
Rosinante
—
Oh
—
Sancho
—
Sancho
!
never
was
a
Tavern-bisket
crack'd
into
so
many
pieces
,
as
my
Shoulder-blade
—
I
have
no
more
use
of
my
right
Arm
,
then
a
joynted
Baby
—
With
all
my
heart
,
reply'd
Sancho
,
I
am
still
ready
to
assist
my
dear
Master
—
And
so
,
Sir
,
let
's
e'en
return
home
to
our
own
Village
,
where
we
may
at
leisure
consider
of
some
other
Adventure
,
more
to
our
Honour
and
Profit
.
Thou
say'st
well
,
answer'd
Don
Quixote
,
't
is
Prudence
to
weary
the
malicious
Influences
of
the
Stars
.
Upon
which
words
,
the
Prebend
,
the
Curate
,
and
the
Barber
fail'd
not
to
strike
while
the
Iron
was
hot
,
and
having
sooth'd
him
up
in
his
provident
Care
of
himself
,
return'd
him
into
his
inchanted
Cage
,
where
they
laid
him
forth
upon
a
Truss
of
Hay
,
to
the
great
grief
of
Rosinante
,
who
at
that
time
did
not
a
little
envy
him
his
Cushion
.
Thus
the
Procession
went
on
in
good
order
;
the
Goat-herd
retir'd
,
after
he
had
tak'n
leave
of
the
Company
,
and
the
Bailiffs
were
paid
and
dismiss'd
by
the
Curate
.
The
Prebend
also
embrac'd
the
Curate
,
and
after
he
had
obtain'd
his
Promise
to
give
him
an
Account
of
Don
Quixote's
Cure
,
pursu'd
his
Journey
.
And
thus
the
Curate
,
the
Barber
,
Don
Quixote
and
Sancho
,
were
left
alone
with
Rosinante
,
who
among
so
many
Hurly-burlies
had
shew'd
no
less
Patience
then
his
Master
.
So
that
now
the
almost
dismember'd
Knight
being
laid
at
his
ease
,
as
we
said
before
,
upon
his
Bottle
of
Hay
,
discreetly
strew'd
under
his
bruis'd
Bones
,
the
Waggoner
drove
on
according
to
the
Curate's
Directions
;
and
at
the
end
of
six
days
,
according
to
the
grave
pace
of
those
lazy
Animals
,
happily
arriv'd
at
Don
Quixote's
Village
;
into
which
they
made
their
entry
at
high
Noon
,
upon
a
Sunday
,
of
all
the
Days
i'
the
Week
.
Presently
Men
,
Women
,
and
Children
came
forth
to
see
the
Man
i'
the
Cage
;
but
when
they
knew
their
old
Landlord
and
Acquaintance
,
Joy
and
Admiration
put
'em
into
such
a
fit
of
hooping
and
hollowing
,
enough
to
ha'
wak'd
the
seven
Sleepers
three
years
before
their
time
.
In
the
mean
while
,
a
little
Boy
ran
to
carry
the
News
to
Don
Quixote's
Neece
and
Governante
,
telling
'em
,
That
their
Uncle
and
Master
was
come
home
,
laid
upon
a
Bottle
of
Hay
,
but
so
lean
and
disfigur'd
,
that
he
hardly
knew
him
again
.
'
Twou'd
ha'
griev'd
your
Heart
to
ha'
heard
the
Lamentations
of
his
Kinswoman
,
and
his
old
Maid
,
when
they
saw
him
—
Lord
!
Sir
,
cries
one
,
What
makes
ye
come
home
thus
in
a
Cage
?
And
then
she
thump'd
her
Breast
,
and
water'd
her
Cheeks
,
like
a
Nurse
at
a
Funeral
.
Was
there
ne're
a
Stage-Coach
,
cries
t'other
,
to
be
got
,
but
that
you
must
be
thus
cag'd
home
,
like
a
wild
Swedish
Cat
?
The
Devil
take
all
those
Diabolical
Books
of
Knight-Errantry
,
cries
the
Neece
—
Is
this
the
fruit
of
Adventuring
,
cries
the
Maid
?
The
Lord
bless
me
with
that
little
Wit
I
have
,
and
no
more
—
And
all
this
,
and
a
great
deal
worse
they
repeated
,
when
they
saw
him
creep
in
a-doors
,
like
one
that
had
shatter'd
his
Bones
from
the
top
of
a
Pear-tree
.
Presently
comes
Sancho
Pancha's
Wife
(
for
the
News
flew
like
a
fir'd
Rocket
)
and
meeting
her
Husband
,
Well
,
quo
she
,
and
how
does
the
Ass
?
Better
then
his
Master
,
quo
Sancho
.
The
Lord
be
prais'd
for
that
,
i'
the
first
place
,
quo
his
Wife
—
But
prithee
,
Husband
,
tell
me
,
quo
she
,
What
hast
got
all
this
while
by
thy
Squiring
?
Hast
brought
me
home
e're
a
new
Petticoat
?
or
any
Shoos
and
Stockins
for
the
Children
?
I
ha'
brought
none
of
those
Trifles
home
,
quo
Sancho
,
but
I
ha'
brought
things
of
greater
value
.
Now
thou
chear'st
my
Heart
,
quo
his
Wife
,
prithee
let
's
see
those
things
of
Value
.
I
will
shew
thee
at
home
,
reply'd
Sancho
;
in
the
mean
time
be
satisfy'd
,
good
Wife
;
for
if
it
be
our
good
Fortune
to
take
another
frisk
,
as
I
hope
we
shall
,
thou
shalt
see
me
in
a
short
time
Governour
of
an
Island
,
I
say
of
an
Island
,
and
that
one
of
the
best
Islands
in
the
World
;
none
of
your
paltry
Islands
of
thirteen
to
the
Dozen
.
Pray
God
thou
be'st
John
,
Husband
,
quo
she
—
But
what
dost
mean
by
an
Island
,
Sancho
,
for
I
don't
understand
your
hard
Words
?
Why
look
ye
,
quo
Sancho
,
Tell
a
Mare
a
Tale
,
and
she
'l
let
a
Fart
—
't
is
not
for
Asses
to
lick
Honey
—
Thou
shalt
understand
what
I
mean
time
enough
,
when
thou
shalt
wonder
to
hear
thy self
call'd
nothing
but
Lady
and
Madam
,
and
see
all
thy
Slaves
and
Vassals
bowing
and
cringing
about
thee
,
with
their
Hats
off
—
What
dost
think
on
't
?
—
won't
these
be
brave
new-Petticoat-days
?
—
I'
the
mean
time
,
good
dear
Joan
Pansa
,
not
a
word
o'
the
Pudding
—
stay
till
the
time
comes
,
and
make
no
Brags
—
't
is
enough
,
that
what
I
tell
thee's
true
—
And
therefore
believe
thy
nown
Sancho
—
Only
by
the
way
let
me
tell
thee
,
There
's
no
such
Pleasure
i'
the
World
,
as
to
be
a
Squire
to
a
Knight-Errant
that
goes
a
Nutting
after
Adventures
—
't
is
true
indeed
,
that
all
we
meet
with
,
do
not
always
succeed
—
Of
a
hundred
,
not
fourscore
and
nineteen
hit
right
—
I
know
it
by
Experience
,
Wife
—
thanks
be
to
God
,
I
ha'
try'd
it
—
I
ha'
been
toss'd
in
a
Blanket
—
I
ha'
been
thrash'd
till
my
Bones
ha'
rattl'd
i'
my
Skin
,
like
a
Bag
of
Chessmen
—
Nevertheless
,
't
is
a
most
pleasant
life
to
ride
a
hunting
,
as
we
do
,
in
chase
of
that
Whore
Fortune
—
over
Rocks
,
over
Mountains
,
through
Desarts
and
Forests
,
to
visit
Castles
,
and
lodge
at
Inns
,
without
paying
the
Devil
a
Cross
to
the
Sot
of
an
Inn-keeper
,
that
gives
us
the
best
Dyet
and
Lodging
he
has
.
Thus
Sancho
mus'd
his
Wife
,
while
Don
Quixote's
Niece
,
and
his
Maid
undress'd
him
,
and
put
him
in
his
old
Bed
,
where
he
lay
casting
a
melancholy
Look
,
sometimes
upon
the
one
,
sometimes
the
other
;
yet
not
knowing
either
them
or
himself
.
At
the
same
time
the
Curate
laid
a
strict
Charge
upon
the
Niece
to
take
care
of
her
Uncle
,
but
above
all
things
,
narrowly
to
watch
him
,
to
prevent
his
making
a
third
Escape
;
telling
her
withal
,
what
a
deal
of
Pains
and
Trouble
it
had
cost
him
to
get
him
home
again
.
With
that
the
Niece
and
the
Maid
began
again
to
lift
up
their
Voices
;
they
thundred
out
a
thousand
Maledictions
against
Books
of
Knight-Errantry
;
and
besought
of
Heaven
to
confound
,
and
send
to
the
very
Center
of
the
Abyss
the
Authors
of
so
many
Lyes
and
Impostures
.
In
short
,
they
made
it
their
business
diligently
to
watch
the
good
Gentleman
,
continually
alarm'd
with
Fears
and
Jealousies
,
lest
they
should
lose
him
again
,
as
soon
as
recover'd
;
which
unhappily
not
long
after
fell
out
accordingly
,
notwithstanding
all
their
Industry
and
Diligence
.
