- 0:23Speaker 1: to the Right Honorable Philip Earl of Chesterfield, Knight of
- 0:27Speaker 1: the most Noble Order of the Garter. My Lord, however
- 0:31Speaker 1: unworthy these scenes may be of your Lordship's protection, the
- 0:36Speaker 1: design with which some of them were written cannot fail
- 0:39Speaker 1: of recommending them to one who has so gloriously distinguished
- 0:43Speaker 1: himself in the cause of liberty, to which the corruption
- 0:47Speaker 1: I have here endeavored to expose may one day be
- 0:50Speaker 1: a very fatal enemy. The freedom of the stage is
- 0:55Speaker 1: perhaps as well worth contending for as that of the press.
- 0:59Speaker 1: It is the opinion of an author well known to
- 1:02Speaker 1: your Lordship that examples were quicker and stronger on the
- 1:06Speaker 1: minds of men than precepts. This will, I believe, my Lord,
- 1:11Speaker 1: be found truer with regard to politics than to ethics.
- 1:15Speaker 1: The most ridiculous exhibitions of luxury or avarice may likely
- 1:21Speaker 1: have little effect on the sensualist or the miser. But
- 1:25Speaker 1: I fancy a lively representation of the calamities brought on
- 1:29Speaker 1: a country by general corruption might have a very sensible
- 1:34Speaker 1: and useful effect on the spectators. Socrates, who owed his
- 1:39Speaker 1: destruction greatly to the contempt brought on him by the
- 1:43Speaker 1: comedies of Aristophanes, is a lasting instance of the force
- 1:47Speaker 1: of theatrical ridicule. Here, indeed, this weapon was used to
- 1:52Speaker 1: an ill purpose. But surely what is able to bring
- 1:56Speaker 1: wisdom and virtue into disrepute will with great facility lay
- 2:01Speaker 1: their opposites under a general contempt. There are among us
- 2:05Speaker 1: who seem so sensible of the danger of wit and
- 2:09Speaker 1: humor that they are resolved to have nothing to do
- 2:12Speaker 1: with them. And indeed they are in the right aunt.
- 2:15Speaker 1: For wit light hunger will be with great difficulty restrained
- 2:20Speaker 1: from falling on where there is great plenty and variety
- 2:23Speaker 1: of food. But while the powerful sons of dulness shed
- 2:29Speaker 1: all their influence on their inferior brethren, be you, my lord,
- 2:33Speaker 1: who are the most favored offspring of the British muses,
- 2:37Speaker 1: the patron of their younger children, whom your lordship has
- 2:41Speaker 1: as much reason to love as others to fear, for
- 2:46Speaker 1: you must have seen that to be celebrated by them
- 2:49Speaker 1: and applauded by the most discerning and worthy, are the
- 2:52Speaker 1: only rewards which to patriotism, a word scandalously ridiculed by some,
- 2:58Speaker 1: can securely expect. And here I am pleading the cause
- 3:03Speaker 1: of others. For the only title I have to enroll
- 3:06Speaker 1: myself in the number of those I have recommended to
- 3:09Speaker 1: your favor is by being with the most perfect admiration
- 3:14Speaker 1: and respect, my Lord, your Lordship's most obedient and most
- 3:18Speaker 1: humble servant, Henry Fielding preface. This comedy was begun at
- 3:25Speaker 1: Leyden in the year seventeen twenty eight, and after it
- 3:28Speaker 1: had been sketched out into a few loose scenes, was
- 3:31Speaker 1: thrown by, and for a long while no more thought of.
- 3:36Speaker 1: It was originally read for my private amusement, as it
- 3:39Speaker 1: would indeed have been little less than quixotism itself to
- 3:43Speaker 1: hope any other fruits from attempting characters which the inimitable
- 3:47Speaker 1: Cervantes so far excelled. The impossibility of going beyond and
- 3:53Speaker 1: the extreme difficulty of keeping pace with him were sufficient
- 3:57Speaker 1: to infuse despair into a very advantageous author. I soon
- 4:02Speaker 1: discovered too, that my too small experience in and little
- 4:06Speaker 1: knowledge of the world, had led me into an error.
- 4:10Speaker 1: I soon found it infinitely more difficult than I imagined to
- 4:14Speaker 1: vary the scene and give my knight an opportunity of
- 4:17Speaker 1: displaying himself in a different manner from that wherein he
- 4:21Speaker 1: appears in the romance. Human nature is everywhere the same,
- 4:26Speaker 1: and the modes and habits of particular nations do not
- 4:29Speaker 1: change it enough sufficiently to distinguish a Keihore in England
- 4:34Speaker 1: from Mi Quixote in Spain. In these sentiments, mister Booth
- 4:39Speaker 1: and mister Cibber concurred with me, who, upon seeing the
- 4:42Speaker 1: aforesaid sketch, both dissuaded me from suffering it to be
- 4:46Speaker 1: represented on the stage, and accordingly it was remanded back
- 4:51Speaker 1: to my shell, where probably it would have perished in oblivion,
- 4:56Speaker 1: had not the solicitations of the distressed actors and drury
- 5:00Speaker 1: Lane prevailed on me to revise it at the same
- 5:03Speaker 1: time that it came into my head to add those
- 5:06Speaker 1: scenes concerning our elections. Being thus altered, it was often
- 5:11Speaker 1: rehearsed on that theater, and a particular day appointed for
- 5:15Speaker 1: its action. But the giant cajonas of a race who
- 5:19Speaker 1: were always enemies to our Poor Don deferred his appearance
- 5:23Speaker 1: so long that the intervention of the actor's benefits would
- 5:27Speaker 1: have put it off till the next season, had I
- 5:30Speaker 1: not brought it on where it now appears. I have
- 5:34Speaker 1: troubled the reader thus long to account for this comedy's
- 5:38Speaker 1: appearing as it now does, and that he might distinguish
- 5:41Speaker 1: those parts of it which were the production of this season,
- 5:45Speaker 1: from those which were written in my more juvenile years,
- 5:48Speaker 1: and before most of the pieces with which I have
- 5:51Speaker 1: endeavored to entertain the public.

- 7:31Speaker 1: Stage Directions read by Wayne Cook. Introduction Manager author.
- 7:41Speaker 18: No prologue, sir. The audience will never bear it. They
- 7:45Speaker 18: will not bait you anything of their do him.
- 7:49Speaker 16: The audience is very humble servant, but they cannot make
- 7:51Speaker 16: a man write a prologue, whether he can or know.
- 7:54Speaker 18: Why, sir, There is nothing easier. I have known an
- 7:58Speaker 18: author to bring three or four to the house with
- 8:02Speaker 18: one play and give us a choice which we would speak.
- 8:07Speaker 16: Yes, sir, And I have now three in my pocket,
- 8:09Speaker 16: written by friends, of which I choose. None should be spoke.
- 8:12Speaker 16: How So, because they have been all spoke already twenty
- 8:17Speaker 16: times over.
- 8:19Speaker 17: Let me see them. Pray.
- 8:22Speaker 16: They are written in such damned granp hands. You will
- 8:24Speaker 16: never be able to read them. But I will tell
- 8:26Speaker 16: you the substance of them. One of them begins with
- 8:28Speaker 16: abusing the writings of all my contemporaries, lamenting the fallen
- 8:31Speaker 16: state of the stage, and lastly assuring the audience that
- 8:34Speaker 16: this play was written with a design to restore true taste.
- 8:37Speaker 16: And they're approving it is the best tip and they
- 8:39Speaker 16: can give up their having any well.
- 8:42Speaker 17: A very good scheme.
- 8:44Speaker 16: Maybe so, but it hath been the subject of almost
- 8:46Speaker 16: every prolog for these ten years.
- 8:48Speaker 1: Last past.
- 8:50Speaker 16: The second is in a different cast. The first twelve
- 8:53Speaker 16: lines in vey against all indecency on the stage, and
- 8:55Speaker 16: the last twenty lines show you what it is.
- 8:58Speaker 18: That would do better for an epilogue. But what is
- 9:03Speaker 18: the third?
- 9:04Speaker 1: Why?
- 9:04Speaker 16: The third has some wit in it and would have
- 9:06Speaker 16: done very well but for a.
- 9:07Speaker 1: Mistake, Aye, what mistake?
- 9:11Speaker 16: Why the author ever read my play and taking it
- 9:14Speaker 16: for a regular comedy of five acts has fallen very
- 9:17Speaker 16: severely on farce? However, it is a pretty good one
- 9:20Speaker 16: and will do very well for the first gent heel
- 9:22Speaker 16: comedy you bring on the stage.
- 9:24Speaker 18: But don't you think a play with so odd a
- 9:27Speaker 18: title as yours requires to be a little explained? May
- 9:33Speaker 18: they not be too much surprised at some things?
- 9:38Speaker 1: Not at all?
- 9:39Speaker 16: The audience, I believe, are all acquainted with the character
- 9:41Speaker 16: of Don Quixote and Sancho. I have brought them over
- 9:44Speaker 16: into England and introduced them at an inn in the country,
- 9:46Speaker 16: where I believe no one will be surprised that the
- 9:48Speaker 16: Knight finds several people as mad as himself. This I
- 9:51Speaker 16: could have told them in forty dull lines if I would,
- 9:54Speaker 16: but I rather chose to let it alone, For to
- 9:56Speaker 16: tell you the truth, I can rob at one conclusion
- 9:58Speaker 16: from the prologus. I have every that the authors are
- 10:01Speaker 16: so sensible of the demerits of their plays that they
- 10:03Speaker 16: desire to set the audience asleep before they begin. But
- 10:06Speaker 16: what real use is a bill of fare to any
- 10:08Speaker 16: entertainment where the guests are not left to their choice
- 10:10Speaker 16: what part they will pick out, but are obliged to
- 10:12Speaker 16: swallow the hole indifferently.
- 10:15Speaker 1: Enter a player, sir.
- 10:18Speaker 3: The audience makes such a noise with their canes that
- 10:22Speaker 3: if we don't begin immediately, they will beat the house
- 10:27Speaker 3: down before the play begins. And it is not advisable
- 10:33Speaker 3: to put them out of humor, for there are two
- 10:37Speaker 3: or three of the loudest cat calls in the gallery
- 10:41Speaker 3: that ever were heard.
- 10:44Speaker 16: I'll be not frightened at that. Those are only some
- 10:46Speaker 16: particular friends of mine who are to put on the
- 10:48Speaker 16: face of enemies at first and be converted at the
- 10:50Speaker 16: end of the first act.
- 10:51Speaker 18: Order then to play away the overture. Immediately, come, sir,
- 10:57Speaker 18: what do you do with yourself?
- 10:59Speaker 16: I shall dispose myself in some part of the house
- 11:01Speaker 16: where I shall see and not be seen. And I
- 11:03Speaker 16: can assure you, sir, if the audience are but half
- 11:05Speaker 16: as well entertained with this play as I shall be myself,
- 11:08Speaker 16: it will go off with a universal applause.
- 11:11Speaker 1: Don Quixote in England Act one seen, one seen, and
- 11:17Speaker 1: in Gasol Sancho.
- 11:21Speaker 19: Never tell me, sir, of Don Quixote or Don Bielzebub.
- 11:26Speaker 19: Here's a man comes into my house and eats me
- 11:29Speaker 19: out on it, and then tells me he's a knight errant.
- 11:33Speaker 19: He is an errant rogue, and if he does not
- 11:35Speaker 19: pay me my bill, I'll have a warrant for him.
- 11:39Speaker 3: My master. Here's no warrant. Friend, had you ever been
- 11:44Speaker 3: in Spain, you would have known the men of his
- 11:47Speaker 3: order are above the lure.
- 11:50Speaker 19: Tell me not of Spain, sir, I am an Englishman,
- 11:54Speaker 19: where no one is above the law. And if your
- 11:56Speaker 19: master does not pay me, I shall lay his spaniards
- 12:00Speaker 19: fast in a place where he shall find it as
- 12:02Speaker 19: difficult to get out of as your countrymen have found
- 12:05Speaker 19: it to get into Gibraltar.
- 12:07Speaker 3: That's neither here nor there, As the old saying is,
- 12:12Speaker 3: many are shut into one place and out of another.
- 12:15Speaker 3: Men bar houses to keep robes out, and jails to
- 12:20Speaker 3: keep them in. He that is hanged for stealing your
- 12:23Speaker 3: hoars today has no reason to my oats for him tomorrow.
- 12:29Speaker 19: So Ah, your horse nor your ass neither shall have
- 12:33Speaker 19: any more oats at my expense. Never were masters and
- 12:37Speaker 19: their beasts so like one another. The DoD is just
- 12:41Speaker 19: such another lean ramscallion as his what do you call
- 12:45Speaker 19: him is rosanante, and thou art just such another squat
- 12:50Speaker 19: bag of guts as thy dapple. So my house and
- 12:54Speaker 19: my stable one's well emptied of you. And if I
- 12:57Speaker 19: ever suffer spaniard to enter my doors again, I have
- 13:00Speaker 19: a whole company of soldiers quartered on me. For if
- 13:03Speaker 19: I must be eaten up, I'd rather suffer by my
- 13:06Speaker 19: own country rogues than foreign ones.
- 13:09Speaker 3: Exit air one rogues there are of each nation, except
- 13:17Speaker 3: among the divines and vinegar. Since the creation hath still
- 13:24Speaker 3: been made of wines against one lawyer, lurch a county,
- 13:31Speaker 3: scarce king guard, One parson does for a church, one
- 13:38Speaker 3: doctor for a church yard.
- 13:43Speaker 1: Scene two don quixote, Sancho, Sancho, and please your honor.
- 13:52Speaker 2: Come hither Sancho. I smell an adventure.
- 13:57Speaker 3: And so do I please your worship. The landlorder of
- 14:02Speaker 3: the ouse swears busily that he will have a warrant
- 14:05Speaker 3: against us.
- 14:07Speaker 2: What landlord, what house wilt thou never be? In thy senses?
- 14:15Speaker 2: Are we not in a castle?
- 14:17Speaker 3: No, Mary, we are not, But we are in a
- 14:21Speaker 3: fair way to being one.
- 14:24Speaker 2: What dost thou mean, oaf or me?
- 14:28Speaker 3: I shall see your honor in a jail within these
- 14:31Speaker 3: two days?
- 14:33Speaker 2: Me in a jail, Ah Cadiff.
- 14:37Speaker 3: I sir, we are going into a terrible country. A
- 14:42Speaker 3: man's quality ear can't defend him if he breaks the laws.
- 14:48Speaker 2: Then indeed, knight errantry were of no use. But I
- 14:53Speaker 2: tell thee cadive. Jails in all countries are on the
- 14:57Speaker 2: habitations for the poor, not for men of quality. If
- 15:03Speaker 2: a poor fellow robs a man of fashion of five
- 15:06Speaker 2: shillings to jail with him, what the man of fashion
- 15:11Speaker 2: may plunder a thousand poor and stay in his own house.
- 15:16Speaker 2: But no, thou, bays squire of the great don Quixote Darmancha,
- 15:21Speaker 2: that an adventure now presents itself not only worthy me,
- 15:27Speaker 2: but the united force of all the knights upon earth.
- 15:31Speaker 3: Ah, poor, Sancho, there's an ento thee. A legorn arm
- 15:38Speaker 3: will not suffice this bout.
- 15:41Speaker 2: There is now arrived in this castle, one of the
- 15:45Speaker 2: most accursed giants that ever infested the earth. He marches
- 15:49Speaker 2: at the head of his army that howl like turks
- 15:52Speaker 2: in an engagement.
- 15:54Speaker 3: Oh lord, o lad, this is the country squire at
- 15:59Speaker 3: the edge of hes pank of dogs.
- 16:02Speaker 2: What dost thou mutter, Arlette, Why.
- 16:05Speaker 3: Sir, this giant that you're worship talks of is a
- 16:09Speaker 3: country gentleman who is going according And his army is
- 16:15Speaker 3: neither more nor less than his kennel of foxhounds.
- 16:20Speaker 2: The prodigious force of enchantment. Sirrah, I tell thee, this
- 16:26Speaker 2: is a giant doglog Magoglog, lord of the island of Gogmagogue,
- 16:30Speaker 2: whose belly has been the tomb of above a thousand
- 16:34Speaker 2: strong men.
- 16:36Speaker 3: Of about a thousand dogs. Said his strong beer.
- 16:39Speaker 2: I believe this must be the enchanter Merlin. I know
- 16:44Speaker 2: him by his dogs. But thou, idiot, dost thou imagine
- 16:49Speaker 2: that women are to be hunted like hares, that a
- 16:52Speaker 2: man would carry his hounds with him to visit his mistress.
- 16:57Speaker 3: Sir, your true English squire and his hounds are as
- 17:02Speaker 3: inseparable as your Spanish and his toledo. He eats with
- 17:08Speaker 3: these sounds, drinks with these sounds, and lies with these sounds.
- 17:14Speaker 3: Your true errant English squareer is but the first dog
- 17:18Speaker 3: boy in his ace.
- 17:20Speaker 2: Oh tis pity, then that fortune should contradict the order
- 17:25Speaker 2: of nature. It was a wise institution of Flato to
- 17:30Speaker 2: educate children according to their minds, not to their berths.
- 17:34Speaker 2: These squires should sow that corn which they ride over, Sancho.
- 17:39Speaker 2: When I see a gentleman in his own coach box,
- 17:43Speaker 2: I regret the loss which someone has had of a coachman.
- 17:47Speaker 2: The man who toils all day after a partridge or
- 17:50Speaker 2: a pheasant might serve his country by toiling after a plow.
- 17:55Speaker 2: And when I see a low, mean, trickling lord, I
- 17:59Speaker 2: lament the laws loss of an excellent attorney singing within.
- 18:04Speaker 2: But hark some courteous lady in the castle prepares an
- 18:08Speaker 2: entertainment for my ears.
- 18:10Speaker 1: Heir too tweedside.
- 18:14Speaker 12: Oh think not the maid whom you scorn with riches delighted?
- 18:18Speaker 12: Can be had I a great princess been born my
- 18:22Speaker 12: billy had dear been to me in grander in wealth
- 18:25Speaker 12: we find woe in love. There is nothing but charms
- 18:29Speaker 12: on others. Your treasures bestow give billy alone to these
- 18:34Speaker 12: arms in title and wealth. What is lost in tenderness
- 18:39Speaker 12: oft is repaid too much. A great fortune may cost
- 18:43Speaker 12: well purchased, may be the poor maid. Let gold's empty
- 18:47Speaker 12: show cheat the great We more real pleasures will prove.
- 18:52Speaker 12: While they in their palaces hate, we in our poor
- 18:56Speaker 12: cottage will love.
- 18:58Speaker 1: Sayne three Quixote Guzzeo Sancho.
- 19:03Speaker 2: Most illustrious and most mighty? Lord, how shall I sufficiently
- 19:09Speaker 2: pay you for those sounds with which I have been ravaged?
- 19:13Speaker 19: Sir? I desire no other payment but of this small bill.
- 19:17Speaker 19: Your worship's cattle are saddled, and it is a charming
- 19:20Speaker 19: day for traveling.
- 19:23Speaker 2: Nothing, my Lord, shall ever tempt me to leave you
- 19:26Speaker 2: till what I have this day seen within the castle
- 19:29Speaker 2: walls be utterly demolished guzzel aside, so.
- 19:35Speaker 19: He has seen the sirloin of beef at the fire
- 19:38Speaker 19: I find. But if your worship intends to stay any longer,
- 19:42Speaker 19: I hope you design to satisfy this small matter.
- 19:44Speaker 17: Here.
- 19:45Speaker 19: I am in great necessity, I assure you.
- 19:48Speaker 2: To which mean actions does necessity force men, that ever
- 19:53Speaker 2: a mighty lord should be obliged to borrow money.
- 19:57Speaker 19: I am ashamed to ask your worship so often for
- 20:00Speaker 19: this trifle.
- 20:00Speaker 2: But my Lord, I see you are. I see a
- 20:05Speaker 2: generous confusion which spreads your face.
- 20:09Speaker 19: I am so poor, and please your honor that it
- 20:12Speaker 19: will be quite charity in you. It is the same
- 20:15Speaker 19: as if you gave it me.
- 20:17Speaker 2: My Lord, I am more confused than you, But do
- 20:22Speaker 2: not think of a gift, since I see you look
- 20:24Speaker 2: so backward to receive it in that light. And since
- 20:28Speaker 2: my Lord, everything I have saving to the charming Gulciano,
- 20:32Speaker 2: do toboso her fixed and unalterably right be just for yours,
- 20:38Speaker 2: give me leave to call it a debt. My Lord Sancho,
- 20:42Speaker 2: pay us lordship a thousand English guineas, if.
- 20:46Speaker 3: Your worship will please to tell me where I shall
- 20:49Speaker 3: get them. But there's no pain with an empty hand.
- 20:55Speaker 3: Where nothing is nothing can come on twelve lawyers made
- 21:00Speaker 3: not one honest man.
- 21:03Speaker 2: Cease thy impertinence and pay the money immediately.
- 21:07Speaker 3: If I have seen the color of gold this fortnight,
- 21:11Speaker 3: may I never see to raise a panja again.
- 21:16Speaker 2: I am confounded, my Lord, at the extravagance of my squire, who,
- 21:22Speaker 2: out of the spoils of so many giants he has plundered,
- 21:25Speaker 2: should not have reserved enough to oblige your lordship with
- 21:28Speaker 2: such a trifle. But if you know anyone who will
- 21:32Speaker 2: disberse that sum or any other, I will sell him
- 21:37Speaker 2: the reversion of the next island I conquer.
- 21:40Speaker 19: Do you make a jest of me, sir, be not incensed.
- 21:44Speaker 2: I am sorry. I am not able to give it
- 21:46Speaker 2: to you.
- 21:47Speaker 19: Sorry forsooth a pretty way of paying debts. Truly, I
- 21:52Speaker 19: fancy if I was to tell the excise man and
- 21:55Speaker 19: my brewer I was sorry I could not pay him,
- 21:58Speaker 19: they would send me and sorrow to jail together. In short, Sir,
- 22:02Speaker 19: I must and I will have my money.
- 22:06Speaker 3: You must get the Philosopher's stone before you can make
- 22:10Speaker 3: any money of us.
- 22:12Speaker 19: You shall neither eat nor drink anymore in my house
- 22:15Speaker 19: till I am paid that I'm resolved.
- 22:18Speaker 3: I wish your worship would think of changing your quarters.
- 22:22Speaker 3: If it must be a blanket in why let it
- 22:25Speaker 3: be a blanketing. I have not eaten anything these twelve hours,
- 22:31Speaker 3: and I don't find I'm like to fare much better
- 22:34Speaker 3: for the next twelve And by that time I should
- 22:38Speaker 3: be so light. You may as well toss a feather
- 22:41Speaker 3: in a blanket.
- 22:43Speaker 2: Signed Cholle, come hither. I intend to make thee my ambassador.
- 22:48Speaker 3: Why truly, sir, that's a post I should like hugously. Well,
- 22:55Speaker 3: your ambassadors leave rare fat lives, they say, and I
- 23:00Speaker 3: should make a very good ambassador. I can assure your worship.
- 23:05Speaker 2: Thou shalt go, my ambassador, to the court of Dolciana
- 23:09Speaker 2: del Toboso.
- 23:11Speaker 3: More suppose is equal to your worship what court you
- 23:14Speaker 3: send me to? And to say the truth, I'd rather
- 23:19Speaker 3: go to some other. For though my lady Dulcinea is
- 23:23Speaker 3: a very good woman, yet she has got such a
- 23:27Speaker 3: wunchy trick of being chanted. And I fancy your maassador's
- 23:32Speaker 3: fair ill in your chanceied courts.
- 23:36Speaker 2: Reptile reply, not on thy life, but go and prepare
- 23:41Speaker 2: thyself for thy journey. Then come to me and receive
- 23:45Speaker 2: further instructions, for thou shalt set out this very evening.
- 23:50Speaker 2: But ah, the charming voice begins again.
- 23:56Speaker 1: Air three. Why will Florilla et cetera Dorothea sings within.
- 24:02Speaker 12: The pain which tears my throbbing breast? What language can deplore?
- 24:07Speaker 6: For?
- 24:07Speaker 12: How should language have express'd a pain ne'er felt before?
- 24:11Speaker 12: In other virgin wounded hearts Love's cruel sport we see,
- 24:16Speaker 12: But the most cruel of his darts he has reserved
- 24:19Speaker 12: for me.
- 24:20Speaker 2: Unhappy princess, they.
- 24:23Speaker 12: Curse O tantalus, i'd prize. They curse a bliss would
- 24:26Speaker 12: prove Ah, Heaven were kind if with my eyes I
- 24:30Speaker 12: could enjoy my love enchanted. Thus, romances tell their moans
- 24:35Speaker 12: for virgins make But where is found the powerful spell
- 24:39Speaker 12: can disenchantment break?
- 24:42Speaker 2: Oh, in this arm tis found. Look forth, most adorable,
- 24:48Speaker 2: though most unhappy princess, Look forth and behold whom fate
- 24:53Speaker 2: has sent to your relief, The most renowned knight of
- 24:57Speaker 2: the woeful figure, the invinc Don Quixote do la Mancha,
- 25:03Speaker 2: for whose victorious arm alone this adventure is reserved, Oh,
- 25:08Speaker 2: cursed enchanter, dost thou keep this charming princess invisible to
- 25:13Speaker 2: my eyes. Open the castle gates. Open them this instant,
- 25:17Speaker 2: whoever is on the guard, or you shall feel the
- 25:20Speaker 2: force of my attack. You shall find cadis that one
- 25:24Speaker 2: single night is too many for you.
- 25:26Speaker 1: All he attacks the walls and breaks the windows. Scene four,
- 25:33Speaker 1: don Quixote, guzzle and mob.
- 25:37Speaker 19: Heyday, what in the devil's name are you doing? What
- 25:40Speaker 19: you intend to beat down my house?
- 25:43Speaker 2: Thou most uncourteous lord, deliver the princess whom thou so
- 25:47Speaker 2: unjustly dost detain, Or think not that all the enchanters
- 25:51Speaker 2: on earth shall preserve thee from my vengeance.
- 25:55Speaker 19: Don't tell me of princesses and lords. I'm the lord.
- 25:59Speaker 19: I'm an honor man, and I can tell you may
- 26:01Speaker 19: be a gentleman, but you don't act like one. The
- 26:04Speaker 19: break of poor man's windows in this.
- 26:06Speaker 2: Manner, Deliver the princess, kadif pay.
- 26:09Speaker 19: Me my bill, sir, and go out of my house,
- 26:12Speaker 19: or I'll fetch a warrant for you. I'll see whether
- 26:14Speaker 19: a man is to have his victuals eat up and
- 26:17Speaker 19: drink drank out, and windows broken, his walls shattered, and
- 26:21Speaker 19: his guests disturbed for nothing.
- 26:23Speaker 2: I'm gracious, knight, who so often throwest in my teeth
- 26:27Speaker 2: that small entertainment which thou art obliged to give men
- 26:32Speaker 2: of my heroic profession.
- 26:34Speaker 19: I believe indeed your profession does oblige people sometimes to give,
- 26:38Speaker 19: whether they will or no.
- 26:40Speaker 2: It is too plain, thou wretch, that thou wouldst have
- 26:44Speaker 2: me gone. Thou knowest the delivering of this high lady
- 26:48Speaker 2: thou dost detain is reserved for me alone. But deliver
- 26:53Speaker 2: her this moment, with all her attendants, all her plate
- 26:56Speaker 2: and jewels, which thou hast robbed her.
- 26:58Speaker 19: Of wear this neighbors, I am accused of stealing plates
- 27:03Speaker 19: and jewels, when everybody knows I have but five dozen
- 27:06Speaker 19: of plates, and those I bought and paid for honestly.
- 27:10Speaker 19: And as for jewels, the devil of any jewels are
- 27:14Speaker 19: there in this house but two bobs that my wife
- 27:17Speaker 19: wears in her ears, which were given her by Sir
- 27:20Speaker 19: Thomas Loveland at his last election.
- 27:23Speaker 2: Cease thy equivocations and deliver them this instant, or thou
- 27:28Speaker 2: shalt find how vainly thou dost trust to all those
- 27:32Speaker 2: giants that thy.
- 27:33Speaker 1: Heals the mob laugh.
- 27:36Speaker 2: Do you mock me. Catiffs, now thy most incomparable Dolcino
- 27:42Speaker 2: de Toboso, assist thy value tonight.
- 27:46Speaker 1: He drives them off and exit Scene five a chamber, Dorotea, Jezebel.
- 27:55Speaker 12: Ha, ha ha. In spite of all my misfortunes, I cannot
- 27:58Speaker 12: help laughing at the pleasant adventure of the knight of
- 28:01Speaker 12: the woeful figure.
- 28:03Speaker 13: Do you think, Madam, this is the very same Dawn
- 28:06Speaker 13: what you call him, whom your father saw in Spain,
- 28:10Speaker 13: and of whom he has told us such pure, pleasant
- 28:12Speaker 13: stories the same?
- 28:14Speaker 12: It can be no other, Oh Jezebel, I wish my
- 28:18Speaker 12: adventure man as happily as those of my namesake Dorothea's did.
- 28:22Speaker 12: I am sure they are very near as romantic? But
- 28:25Speaker 12: have I not reason to blame fair love for suffering
- 28:27Speaker 12: me to be here before him? The lover that does
- 28:29Speaker 12: not outfly his mistress's desires is slow, indeed.
- 28:33Speaker 13: And let me tell you, Madam, he must be very swift.
- 28:36Speaker 12: Who does Herefore, Oh, hasten my lover, dear cupid, wing
- 28:42Speaker 12: hither the youth I admire. The wretch is too lazy
- 28:46Speaker 12: and stupid, who leaves me but time to desire? Let
- 28:49Speaker 12: prudes who leave lovers in anguish themselves in their fonder fits. Stay,
- 28:54Speaker 12: but leave not the virgin to languish. Who meets her
- 28:56Speaker 12: true lover half way? Well, I'm a mad girl. Don't
- 29:00Speaker 12: you think this husband of mine that is to be
- 29:02Speaker 12: will have a delightful task to tame me?
- 29:05Speaker 13: By what I can see, he's in a pretty fair
- 29:07Speaker 13: way to be tamed himself.
- 29:10Speaker 1: Seeene six Sancho Dorotea, Jezebel.
- 29:15Speaker 3: Pray, ladies, which of you is the chanted princess? Or
- 29:22Speaker 3: are you both chanted princesses?
- 29:25Speaker 13: What is it to you what we are thought? Box peace?
- 29:29Speaker 12: Dear Jezebel, this must be the illustrious Sancho himself. I
- 29:34Speaker 12: am the princess into Columbria, my.
- 29:37Speaker 3: Monster, the knight of the woeful figure, and a woful
- 29:42Speaker 3: figure he makes sure enough send your ladyship is humble service,
- 29:48Speaker 3: and hopes that you will not say here miss that
- 29:51Speaker 3: he has not been able to knock hold the people
- 29:54Speaker 3: in the house on the head. However, he has made
- 29:59Speaker 3: it pretty well up in breaking the windows. Your ladyship
- 30:03Speaker 3: will lie pure and cool. For the devil a whole
- 30:07Speaker 3: pain is there in all your apartment. If the glazier
- 30:12Speaker 3: had hired him, he could not have done better.
- 30:15Speaker 12: Thou, mighty squire of the most mighty night upon earth.
- 30:19Speaker 12: If my grateful thanks to your master for what he
- 30:21Speaker 12: has undertaken upon my account, but tell him not to
- 30:24Speaker 12: get his precious bonds bruised anymore, For I am sufficiently assured.
- 30:28Speaker 12: This adventure is reserved for some other night.
- 30:31Speaker 3: Nay, nay, liking enough. All men cannot do all things.
- 30:37Speaker 3: One man gets in a state by what another it
- 30:41Speaker 3: gets a halter. All is not fish that swims. Many
- 30:47Speaker 3: a man wants a wife, but more want to get
- 30:51Speaker 3: rid of one. Two cuckles see each other's horns when
- 30:56Speaker 3: neither woman can see their own money is it's the
- 31:00Speaker 3: fruit of evil, as often as the roof of it chair,
- 31:05Speaker 3: as he seldom goes out of your own house, and
- 31:08Speaker 3: ill nature is always a rambling abroad. Every woman is
- 31:14Speaker 3: a beauty if you will believe her own glass, and
- 31:18Speaker 3: few if you will believe her neighbors.
- 31:22Speaker 12: Pray, Mister Sanchel, might not one hope to see your
- 31:25Speaker 12: illustrious master.
- 31:27Speaker 3: Nothing would rejoice his heart so much, Madam, unless it
- 31:31Speaker 3: were to see my lady Dulcinea herself. Ah Madam, might
- 31:37Speaker 3: I hope your ladyship will speak a good word for me.
- 31:42Speaker 12: Name it, and be assured of anything in my power,
- 31:45Speaker 12: Honest Sancho.
- 31:47Speaker 3: If your princess ship could but prevail on my master,
- 31:51Speaker 3: that I might not be sent home after my lady Dulcinea.
- 31:56Speaker 3: For to tell you the truth, Madam, I am so
- 32:00Speaker 3: fond of the English roast beef and strong beer that
- 32:05Speaker 3: I don't intend ever to set foot in Spain again.
- 32:09Speaker 3: If I can help it, give me a slice of
- 32:13Speaker 3: roast beef before all the rarities of coma Cho's.
- 32:17Speaker 12: Wedding, briefly, said Noble Squire.
- 32:21Speaker 1: Air five, the King's old courtier.
- 32:24Speaker 12: When mighty roast beef was the Englishman's food, it ennobled
- 32:27Speaker 12: our hearts and enriched our blood. Our soldiers were brave,
- 32:30Speaker 12: and our courtiers were good. Oh the roast beef of
- 32:33Speaker 12: Old England, and Old England's roast beef, then Britain's from
- 32:37Speaker 12: ane Dainty's refrain, which effeminate Italy, France and Spain. And
- 32:42Speaker 12: mighty roast beef shall command on the main. Oh the
- 32:45Speaker 12: roast beef of Old England and Old England's roast beef.
- 32:49Speaker 3: Oh, the roast beef of Old England, and Old England's
- 32:52Speaker 3: roast beef.
- 32:55Speaker 12: I have been told, noble squire, that you once imposed
- 32:58Speaker 12: a certain lady for Dulcine. I'm your master. Now what
- 33:02Speaker 12: think you if this young lady here should personate that
- 33:05Speaker 12: incomparable princess?
- 33:07Speaker 13: Who I oh.
- 33:09Speaker 3: DoD your princessship? Is it it? For he has never
- 33:14Speaker 3: seen this Dulcinea, nor is anybody else that I can
- 33:18Speaker 3: hear of. And who my lady Dulcinea should be, I
- 33:23Speaker 3: don't know, unless she be one of your chanted ladies.
- 33:28Speaker 3: The curate of our parish and mister Nicholas the barber
- 33:33Speaker 3: have often told me there was no such woman, and
- 33:37Speaker 3: that my master was a madman. And sometimes I am
- 33:42Speaker 3: off a loss to guess whether he be mad or no.
- 33:47Speaker 3: I'm sure if it was not for the sake of
- 33:50Speaker 3: a little island that I am to govern, I should
- 33:53Speaker 3: not have followed his errantries.
- 33:55Speaker 12: So long fie do not entertain such unworthy thought of
- 34:00Speaker 12: that most glorious night.
- 34:02Speaker 3: Nay, Madam, I can't find it in my heart to
- 34:06Speaker 3: think him mad neither, for he will talk sometimes, to
- 34:12Speaker 3: do one good to hear him talk, and he will
- 34:15Speaker 3: talk y three hours. And I shan't understand one word,
- 34:19Speaker 3: he says, our cure. It was a fool to him.
- 34:24Speaker 3: And yea, he has talked why I could not understand neither.
- 34:28Speaker 3: But that's neither here nor there. An empty purse causes
- 34:33Speaker 3: a forehart. An old woman's a very bad bribe, but
- 34:38Speaker 3: a very good wife conscious often stops at a mole
- 34:43Speaker 3: hill and leaps over a mountain. The law guards us
- 34:48Speaker 3: from all evil by itself. What's vice today is virtue tomorrow.
- 34:56Speaker 3: Tis not any plums that make a put in. Physic
- 35:01Speaker 3: makes you first sick and then well. Wine first makes
- 35:05Speaker 3: you well and then sick.
- 35:09Speaker 13: And your proverbs would make the devil thick.
- 35:12Speaker 12: Lose no time, good, Sancho. But acquaint the most invincible
- 35:15Speaker 12: Knight that the lady Dulcinea is in the castle. We'll
- 35:19Speaker 12: manage the matter so dexterously you shall be in no
- 35:22Speaker 12: danger of a discovery.
- 35:24Speaker 3: Since more, bringing the last Dulcinea to him, I do
- 35:28Speaker 3: not fear that he that can swallow a goose will
- 35:33Speaker 3: hardly cake it Againder the bear may well dance when
- 35:38Speaker 3: the ass plays on the fiddle.
- 35:41Speaker 1: Exit Sancho. Scene seven. Daughterterea Jezebel, well.
- 35:49Speaker 12: For the future, I will never disbelieve a traveler the
- 35:52Speaker 12: Knight and his squire are full as ridiculous as they
- 35:54Speaker 12: were described. We shall have rare diversion.
- 35:58Speaker 13: Poor fair Love, thou art quite forgotten.
- 36:02Speaker 12: I've rather reason to think dortheiso. I am sure when
- 36:05Speaker 12: a lover suffers his mistress to come first to the
- 36:08Speaker 12: place of appointment, he cannot blame any innocent amusement with
- 36:11Speaker 12: which she would shorten his absence. And to confess a
- 36:15Speaker 12: truth to you, while I am still under apprehensions of
- 36:18Speaker 12: the match my father intends for me, I have too
- 36:20Speaker 12: great cause to try to divert my grief.
- 36:24Speaker 1: Heir six from Aberdeen to Edinburgh.
- 36:28Speaker 7: Happy.
- 36:28Speaker 12: The animals who stray in freedom through the grove. No
- 36:32Speaker 12: laws in love they air obey, but those prescribed by love.
- 36:36Speaker 12: While we confine to parents rules. Unfortunate are told none
- 36:42Speaker 12: follows love's sweet laws, but fools the wise are slaves
- 36:46Speaker 12: to gold.
- 36:47Speaker 1: Excellent Scene eight the street. Mister Mayor and a.
- 36:52Speaker 7: Voter, well neighbor, what's your opinion of this strange man
- 36:58Speaker 7: that has come to town? Don Quixote, as he calls himself.
- 37:03Speaker 8: Think why that he's a madman? Nor should I think
- 37:08Speaker 8: he can't.
- 37:09Speaker 7: It runs in my head that he has come to
- 37:11Speaker 7: stand for parliament.
- 37:13Speaker 8: Man, how can that be a neighbor? They tell me
- 37:15Speaker 8: he's a Spaniard.
- 37:17Speaker 7: What's that to us? I didn't look to his qualifications
- 37:21Speaker 7: when we have chose him. If he can't fit in
- 37:23Speaker 7: the house, that's his fault.
- 37:26Speaker 8: Nay, nay, he can't be chose if he should stand
- 37:28Speaker 8: for To my certain knowledge, the Corporation have promised Sir
- 37:32Speaker 8: Thomas Loveland and mister Barnson.
- 37:35Speaker 7: Pooh, our promises are conditional. And let me tell you,
- 37:39Speaker 7: mister retail, I begin to smoke a plot. I begin
- 37:44Speaker 7: to apprehend no opposition, and then we are sold.
- 37:48Speaker 8: Neighbor, No, no neighbor. Then we shall not be sold,
- 37:53Speaker 8: and that's worse. But rather than it should come to that,
- 37:56Speaker 8: I would ride all over the Kingdom for a candidate.
- 37:59Speaker 8: And if I thought Sir Thomas intended to steal us
- 38:02Speaker 8: in this manner, he should have no vote of mine.
- 38:04Speaker 8: I assure you I shall vote for no man who
- 38:07Speaker 8: holds the Corporation cheap.
- 38:09Speaker 7: Then suppose we were to go in a body and
- 38:12Speaker 7: solicit Sir don Quixote to stand as for his being mad. Wow,
- 38:18Speaker 7: he's out of bed liem. It does not signify.
- 38:22Speaker 8: But there is another objection, neighbor, which I'm afraid the
- 38:25Speaker 8: corporation will never get over.
- 38:28Speaker 7: What's that, prithee?
- 38:30Speaker 8: They say he has brought no money with him.
- 38:35Speaker 7: Ah, that indeed, But though he hath no money with
- 38:38Speaker 7: him here, I am assured by his servant that he
- 38:42Speaker 7: hath a very large estate. And so if the other
- 38:47Speaker 7: party come down handsomely with the ready, we may trust him.
- 38:51Speaker 7: For you know, at last we have nothing to do
- 38:55Speaker 7: but not to choose him, and then we may recover
- 38:59Speaker 7: all hes.
- 39:01Speaker 8: I do not care to be sold neighbor.
- 39:03Speaker 7: Nor I neither neighbor by any but myself. I think
- 39:09Speaker 7: that is the privilege of a free Britain.
- 39:14Speaker 1: Say nine guzzle, mayor retail.
- 39:18Speaker 19: Mister mayor, a good moral to you, sir, are you
- 39:21Speaker 19: for a wet this morning?
- 39:23Speaker 7: With all my heart? But what become of the gentleman,
- 39:27Speaker 7: the traveler?
- 39:29Speaker 19: He is laid down to sleep, I believe pretty well,
- 39:31Speaker 19: tired with work. What the devil to do with him?
- 39:34Speaker 19: I can't tell.
- 39:35Speaker 7: My neighbor and I have a strange thought come into
- 39:39Speaker 7: our heads. You know, mister Guzzle, you're like to have
- 39:43Speaker 7: no opposition, and that I believe you will feel the
- 39:46Speaker 7: want of as much as any man. Now do you
- 39:51Speaker 7: see we have taken it into consideration whether we should
- 39:55Speaker 7: not ask the Sir Dawn to represent us with all.
- 39:59Speaker 19: My heart, if either of you will hang out a
- 40:01Speaker 19: sign and entertain him. But he is far enough in
- 40:04Speaker 19: my books already.
- 40:05Speaker 7: You are too cautious, Master Guzzall, I make no doubt,
- 40:10Speaker 7: but he is some very rich man who pretends to
- 40:13Speaker 7: be poor in order to get his election the cheaper
- 40:17Speaker 7: he can have no other design, and staying among us.
- 40:21Speaker 7: For my part, I make no doubt but that he
- 40:24Speaker 7: has come to stand on the court interest.
- 40:28Speaker 19: Nay, nay, if he stands at all, it is on
- 40:30Speaker 19: the court side, no doubt. For he talks of nothing
- 40:33Speaker 19: but kings and princes and princesses, and emperors and empresses.
- 40:38Speaker 7: Aye aye. An officer in the army too, I warrant
- 40:42Speaker 7: him if we knew but the bottom.
- 40:45Speaker 19: He seems indeed to be damnably fond of free quarter.
- 40:49Speaker 8: But if you think he intends to offer himself, would
- 40:52Speaker 8: it not be wiser to let him? For then you know,
- 40:56Speaker 8: if he spends never so much, we shall not be
- 40:58Speaker 8: obliged to choose him.
- 41:00Speaker 7: Brother Alderman, I have reproved you already for that way
- 41:04Speaker 7: of reasoning, it favors too much of bribery. I like
- 41:09Speaker 7: an opposition, because otherwise a man may be obliged to
- 41:14Speaker 7: vote against his party. Therefore, when we invite a gentleman
- 41:19Speaker 7: to stand, we invite him to spend his money for
- 41:22Speaker 7: the honor of his party. And when both parties have
- 41:26Speaker 7: spent as much as they are able, every honest man
- 41:29Speaker 7: will vote according to his conscience.
- 41:33Speaker 19: Mister Mayor talks like a man of sense and honor,
- 41:36Speaker 19: and it does me good to hear him.
- 41:38Speaker 7: Aye, I, mister Guzzle, I never gave a vote contrary
- 41:42Speaker 7: to my conscience. I have very earnestly recommended the country
- 41:47Speaker 7: interest to all my brethren. But before that, I recommend
- 41:52Speaker 7: the town interest, that is the interest of this corporation.
- 41:58Speaker 7: And first of all, I reckon mended to every particular
- 42:01Speaker 7: man to take a particular care of himself. And it
- 42:05Speaker 7: is with a certain way of reasoning that he serves
- 42:09Speaker 7: me best will serve the town best. And he that
- 42:14Speaker 7: serves the town best will serve the country best.
- 42:18Speaker 19: See what it is to have been at Oxford, The
- 42:21Speaker 19: parson in the parish himself, can't outtalk him.
- 42:24Speaker 7: Come, Landlord, will have one bottle and drink success to
- 42:28Speaker 7: the corporation. These times come but seldom. Therefore we ought
- 42:33Speaker 7: to make the best of them come.

- 43:18Speaker 2: difficulties and dangers of Knight Errantry.
- 43:22Speaker 3: A a a squire Errantry too an please your worship.
- 43:29Speaker 2: But virtue is its own reward.
- 43:33Speaker 3: Your worship may have a relish for these rewards, perhaps,
- 43:39Speaker 3: But to speak truly, I am a poor plain man
- 43:44Speaker 3: and know nothing of these fine things. And for any
- 43:49Speaker 3: reward I have hitherto gone, I'd much rather have gone
- 43:54Speaker 3: without it. As for an islands, I believe I could
- 44:00Speaker 3: relish it as well as another. But a man may
- 44:04Speaker 3: catch cold while his coat is making. And since you
- 44:10Speaker 3: may provide for me in a much easier way. If
- 44:14Speaker 3: I might be so bold as to speak.
- 44:18Speaker 2: Thou knowest, I will deny THEE nothing which is fit
- 44:22Speaker 2: for me to give or THEE to take.
- 44:25Speaker 3: Then, if your worship would be so good as to
- 44:29Speaker 3: set me up in an inn, I should make a
- 44:33Speaker 3: rare landlord. And it is a very thriving trade among
- 44:39Speaker 3: the English.
- 44:41Speaker 2: And couldst thou descend so low in noble.
- 44:45Speaker 3: Wretch anything to get honest livelihood, which is more than
- 44:51Speaker 3: I find we are like to do in the way
- 44:54Speaker 3: we are going on. For if I dare speak.
- 44:59Speaker 2: It, speak fearlessly, I will only impute it to thy ignorance.
- 45:05Speaker 3: Why then, I find sir, that we are looks on
- 45:09Speaker 3: here to be neither more nor less better or worse
- 45:15Speaker 3: than a couple of madmen.
- 45:18Speaker 2: Sancho, I am not concerned at the evil opinion of men. Indeed,
- 45:25Speaker 2: if we consider who are their favorites, we shall have
- 45:29Speaker 2: no reason to be so fond of their applause. Virtue
- 45:33Speaker 2: Sancho is too bright for their eyes, and they dare
- 45:38Speaker 2: not behold her. Hypocrisy is the deity they worship? Is
- 45:44Speaker 2: not the lawyer often called an honest man, when for
- 45:47Speaker 2: a sneaking fee pleads the villain's cause, or attempts to
- 45:51Speaker 2: exhort evidence to the conviction of the innocent. Does not
- 45:55Speaker 2: the physician live well in his neighborhood while he suffers them?
- 45:59Speaker 2: Tobe is ignorant to their destruction. But why should I
- 46:04Speaker 2: mention those whose professions tis to pray on others? Look
- 46:08Speaker 2: through the world, what is it recommends men but the poverty,
- 46:13Speaker 2: the vice, and the misery of others? This sancho, They
- 46:18Speaker 2: are sensible love. And therefore, instead of endeavoring to make
- 46:22Speaker 2: himself better, each man endeavors to make his neighbor worse.
- 46:28Speaker 2: Each man rises to admiration by treading on mankind riches
- 46:34Speaker 2: and power, accure to the one by the destruction of thousands.
- 46:39Speaker 2: These are the general objects of the good opinion of men. Nay,
- 46:44Speaker 2: and that which is professed to be paid to virtue
- 46:47Speaker 2: is seldom more to anything than a supercilious contempt of
- 46:52Speaker 2: your neighbor. What is a good natured man? Why one who,
- 46:59Speaker 2: seeing the one of his friend, cries he pities him?
- 47:03Speaker 2: Is this real?
- 47:05Speaker 1: No?
- 47:06Speaker 2: If it was, he would relieve him. His pity is triumphant,
- 47:10Speaker 2: arrogance and insult. It arises from his pride, not his compassion. Sancho,
- 47:18Speaker 2: let them call me mad. I'm not mad enough to
- 47:22Speaker 2: court their approbation.
- 47:24Speaker 3: Oh good, your worship proceeds. I could fast an hour
- 47:30Speaker 3: longer to hear your discourse.
- 47:35Speaker 1: Scene two, Guzzle, don Quixote, Sancho, And.
- 47:41Speaker 19: To please your honor, the mayor of the town has
- 47:43Speaker 19: come to wait on you.
- 47:45Speaker 2: Give him admittance. This is the chief magistrate of the
- 47:49Speaker 2: place who comes I suppose to congratulate me on my arrival.
- 47:55Speaker 2: He might have come sooner, but the neglect of his
- 47:58Speaker 2: duty is better than the total O min in the meanwhile,
- 48:02Speaker 2: Sancho posts, thou away this instant to Toboso and heaven
- 48:06Speaker 2: prosper thy embassy.
- 48:09Speaker 3: Sancho sighed, prosperency may travel with me without siring itself.
- 48:18Speaker 1: Scene three, Mayor don Quixote.
- 48:23Speaker 7: I am your Honor's most humble servant, Sir.
- 48:28Speaker 2: I am glad to see you, and I think you
- 48:31Speaker 2: are the chief officer of the town.
- 48:33Speaker 7: Yes, and please your Honor, I am mister mayor of
- 48:37Speaker 7: this town. I should have done myself the pleasure to
- 48:41Speaker 7: have waited on you sooner, but I was quite ignorant
- 48:45Speaker 7: of the design with which you came hither.
- 48:48Speaker 2: Be seated. Sir, you are a worthy man, and to
- 48:52Speaker 2: your praise be it spoken the first that has done
- 48:55Speaker 2: his duty since my arrival.
- 48:57Speaker 7: I can't answer for the whole town. But the corporation
- 49:01Speaker 7: is as well affected a corporation as any in all England,
- 49:06Speaker 7: and I believe highly sensible of the honor you intend them.
- 49:11Speaker 7: No man knows his strength till he tries it. And
- 49:15Speaker 7: notwithstanding what you may have heard of the night of
- 49:19Speaker 7: the Long Purse, if you oppose him briskly, I dare
- 49:23Speaker 7: answer for your success.
- 49:26Speaker 2: Is there a knight on earth? I dared not oppose,
- 49:30Speaker 2: though he had as many hands, as burious, as many
- 49:34Speaker 2: eyes as argus I should not fear him.
- 49:37Speaker 7: This is a special stick of wood I find aside
- 49:43Speaker 7: a benefit ticket a god.
- 49:47Speaker 2: I see the reason of your apprehension. You have heard
- 49:50Speaker 2: of my ill success in my last adventure. Oh, that
- 49:55Speaker 2: was not my fault, mayor aside, I.
- 49:59Speaker 7: See he has been thrown out at some other place already.
- 50:04Speaker 7: I don't in the least, sir, apprehend it was your fault.
- 50:08Speaker 7: But there is nothing to be done without bleeding freely
- 50:12Speaker 7: on these occasions.
- 50:14Speaker 2: Ah, do you think I fear to bleed.
- 50:18Speaker 7: Be not so passionate, sir this, I assure you you
- 50:23Speaker 7: will do your business with less than any other. I suppose, Sir,
- 50:28Speaker 7: it may lie in your power to do some services
- 50:31Speaker 7: to this town.
- 50:33Speaker 2: Be assured it does. I will, for your sake preserve
- 50:38Speaker 2: it forever from any insult. No armies shall ever do
- 50:43Speaker 2: you any harm.
- 50:44Speaker 7: I assure you, sir, that will recommend you very much.
- 50:48Speaker 7: If you can keep soldiers from quartering upon us, you
- 50:52Speaker 7: shall make very little difficulty in the affair. But I
- 50:56Speaker 7: hope your Honor will consider that the town is very sir.
- 51:01Speaker 7: A little circulation of money among us, would.
- 51:05Speaker 2: Sir you make me concern that it is not now
- 51:10Speaker 2: in my power to give whatever you desire. But re
- 51:14Speaker 2: secure of this, there is not one whom you shall
- 51:17Speaker 2: recommend that shall not, within this twelvemonth be governor of
- 51:21Speaker 2: an island mayor aside.
- 51:25Speaker 7: This is a courtier I find by his promises.
- 51:31Speaker 2: But who is this knight who I am to encounter.
- 51:34Speaker 2: Is he now in the castle?
- 51:36Speaker 7: Yes, sir, he is now at Loveland Castle, a seat
- 51:41Speaker 7: of his about ten miles off. He was here the
- 51:44Speaker 7: very day before your honor came to town. Randying for
- 51:49Speaker 7: a knight of his acquaintance with no less than six
- 51:53Speaker 7: hundred freeholders at his heels.
- 51:57Speaker 2: Hummm, those are a sort of soldiers I know ever
- 52:00Speaker 2: heard of in Spain. How were they armed? Armed, sir, Hi,
- 52:07Speaker 2: with carbines, with muskets, spears, pistols, swords? Or how I
- 52:13Speaker 2: ask that I may choose proper weapons to encounter them?
- 52:17Speaker 7: Ah, your honor is pleased to be merry? Why truly, sir,
- 52:22Speaker 7: they were pretty well armed. When they went out of town.
- 52:26Speaker 7: Every man had four or five bottles in his head.
- 52:30Speaker 2: At least they s born cowards who owe their courage
- 52:36Speaker 2: to the spirit of their wine. But be easy, sir,
- 52:41Speaker 2: Within these two days not one of them shall be alive.
- 52:46Speaker 7: Marry Heaven forbid. Some of them are as honest gentlemen
- 52:50Speaker 7: as any in the county.
- 52:53Speaker 2: Ah, honest and in the train of the night of
- 52:56Speaker 2: the long purse? Do I not know him to be
- 53:00Speaker 2: a deflower of virgins, a destroyer of orphans, a despoiler
- 53:05Speaker 2: of widows, a debotter of wives?
- 53:08Speaker 7: Who, Sir, Thomas Loveland, Sir, why you don't know him?
- 53:14Speaker 7: He's as good natured, civil a gentleman as a man
- 53:19Speaker 7: may say?
- 53:20Speaker 2: Why then, do you petition me against him?
- 53:23Speaker 7: Nay, Sir, for that matter, Let him be as civil
- 53:27Speaker 7: as he pleases. One man's money is as good as another's.
- 53:33Speaker 7: You seem to be a civil gentleman too, And if
- 53:36Speaker 7: you stand against him, I don't know which would carry it.
- 53:41Speaker 7: With this, I believe you guess already that he who
- 53:45Speaker 7: spends most would not have the least chance.
- 53:50Speaker 2: Ah Katif dost thou think I would condescend to be
- 53:54Speaker 2: the patron of a place so mercenary, if my services
- 53:58Speaker 2: cannot procure me the election? Dost thou think my money
- 54:02Speaker 2: should make me their knight? What should I get by
- 54:05Speaker 2: undertaking the protection of this city and castle? But dangers, difficulties, toils,
- 54:11Speaker 2: and enchantments. Hence, from my sight or by the peerless
- 54:16Speaker 2: Doschanna's eyes, thy blood shall pay the affront thou hast
- 54:20Speaker 2: given my honor? Oh was it for this that I
- 54:25Speaker 2: was chosen in full, Senate, the patron of La Mancha. Gods?
- 54:30Speaker 2: To what will mankind degenerate? Where not only the vile
- 54:35Speaker 2: necessaries of life, but even honors, which should be the
- 54:39Speaker 2: reward of virtue only, are to be bought with money?
- 54:45Speaker 1: Scene for another chamber, Squire badger, scutt his huntsmen and guzzle.
- 54:53Speaker 5: That's it, honeys, Oh, that's it. What have you no
- 54:57Speaker 5: company in the house? Landlord? Could not you find out
- 55:01Speaker 5: an honest lad, one that could take a hearty pot faith?
- 55:06Speaker 19: Noble Squire, I wish you had spoke a little sooner, mister, permit.
- 55:10Speaker 19: The officer has just gone out of the house. Your
- 55:13Speaker 19: Worship would have liked him hugely. He is rare good company.
- 55:17Speaker 5: Well, but hang, it has found nobody.
- 55:21Speaker 19: I have not one guest in the house, sir, but
- 55:24Speaker 19: a young lady and her maid, and a madman and
- 55:27Speaker 19: a squire, as he calls.
- 55:28Speaker 5: Himself square who prithee?
- 55:32Speaker 19: Squire? It is a cursed hard name. I never can
- 55:36Speaker 19: remember it. Squire Pancho, Sancho, he calls.
- 55:40Speaker 5: Himself, pleaseee? What is he? A week or a tory?
- 55:45Speaker 19: Hey, Sir, I don't know what he is. His master
- 55:48Speaker 19: and he have been here in my house this month,
- 55:51Speaker 19: and I can't tell what to make of them. I
- 55:53Speaker 19: wish the devil ad him before I had seen him,
- 55:56Speaker 19: the squire and his master both.
- 55:58Speaker 5: What has this acquire a master?
- 56:02Speaker 19: I don't know which is master, nor which is man?
- 56:05Speaker 15: Not?
- 56:05Speaker 19: I sometimes I think one is master, and then again
- 56:08Speaker 19: I think it is the other. I am sure I
- 56:11Speaker 19: had rather be the squire, for he sleeps most and
- 56:14Speaker 19: eats most. He is as bad as a greyhound in
- 56:17Speaker 19: a house. There is no laying down anything eatable. But
- 56:20Speaker 19: if you turn your back slap, he has it up
- 56:24Speaker 19: as for the night, as he calls himself. He has
- 56:26Speaker 19: more to pay for breaking windows than eating what. I
- 56:29Speaker 19: were well rid of him. He will sit you sometimes
- 56:32Speaker 19: in the yard to guard the castle, as he calls it.
- 56:35Speaker 19: But I am afraid his design is to rob the
- 56:37Speaker 19: house if he could catch an opportunity. I don't understand
- 56:41Speaker 19: one word in ten of what he says. He talks
- 56:43Speaker 19: of giants and castles, and queens and princesses, and chanters
- 56:49Speaker 19: and magicians and Dulcineas he has been a mighty traveler,
- 56:54Speaker 19: it seems.
- 56:55Speaker 5: A comical dog eye pansy. Go give my service to him.
- 57:00Speaker 5: Tell him I should be glad of his company.
- 57:02Speaker 17: Go.
- 57:03Speaker 19: I'm afraid he is not in any of the best humors,
- 57:06Speaker 19: for he was most confoundedly drugged.
- 57:08Speaker 5: Just now well, pretty gone, call him here is some
- 57:13Speaker 5: of the best physic for him. Come Scott, sit down
- 57:17Speaker 5: and sing that song.

- 58:27Speaker 2: To mean a person of your distinction is a happiness
- 58:31Speaker 2: I little expected, or I am much mistaken. But you

- 59:01Speaker 1: Badger asighed.
- 59:03Speaker 5: This is honest, cousin tom faith, as mad as a march.
- 59:08Speaker 2: Here would thou guess, Sir, Knight of the Black Cap,
- 59:13Speaker 2: that this uncourteous person, the lord of this castle, should
- 59:17Speaker 2: detain within his walls the most beautiful princess in the universe.
- 59:22Speaker 2: The devil he does enchanted. And if I mistake not
- 59:27Speaker 2: by that enchanter Merlin, I humbly suppose the delivery of
- 59:32Speaker 2: this princess was the design in which you came to
- 59:35Speaker 2: this castle.
- 59:36Speaker 5: Hi, I sir, I'll deliver her. I warrant you. But come, sir, pray, sir,
- 59:43Speaker 5: may I crave the honor of your name.
- 59:48Speaker 2: I am known, sir, in chivalry, by the name of
- 59:52Speaker 2: the Knight of the Woeful Figure.
- 59:55Speaker 5: Sir Knight of the Woeful Figure, Will you please he
- 1:00:00Speaker 5: is to sit down? Come, sir, here's to you, landlord,
- 1:00:05Speaker 5: draw your chair. How long, Sir Knight of the Woeful Figure,
- 1:00:10Speaker 5: have you been in these parts?
- 1:00:14Speaker 2: It is not, Sir Knight of the Black Cap. The
- 1:00:17Speaker 2: business of a knight errant to number time, like the
- 1:00:20Speaker 2: inferior part of mankind, by the days which he lives,
- 1:00:24Speaker 2: but by the actions he performs. Perhaps you may have
- 1:00:28Speaker 2: sojourned longer here than I.

- 1:00:39Speaker 5: knights of the post, and then there are your blue knights,
- 1:00:43Speaker 5: and your red knights, and your green knights.
- 1:00:47Speaker 2: Well, may this kingdom be said to be happy when
- 1:00:51Speaker 2: so many knights conspire for its safety.
- 1:00:54Speaker 5: Come, let us be merry. We'll have a hunting song,
- 1:00:59Speaker 5: Sir Knight. I should be glad to see you at
- 1:01:02Speaker 5: my country seat. Come scot sing away.

- 1:01:12Speaker 16: The dusky night rides down the sky and ushers in
- 1:01:15Speaker 16: the morn. The hounds all join in glorious cry. The
- 1:01:18Speaker 16: huntsman winds his horn, and a hunting we will go.
- 1:01:22Speaker 16: The wife around her husband throws her arms and begs
- 1:01:25Speaker 16: his stay.

- 1:02:05Speaker 5: Ah ha ha, the knight of the woeful figure. This
- 1:02:11Speaker 5: is the life serf of most of our knights in England.
- 1:02:17Speaker 2: Hunting is a manly exercise, and therefore a proper recreation.
- 1:02:22Speaker 2: But it is the business of a knight errant to
- 1:02:24Speaker 2: rid the world of other sorts of animals than foxes.
- 1:02:28Speaker 5: Here is my dear Dorothea, to you, the most beautiful
- 1:02:33Speaker 5: woman in the world.
- 1:02:36Speaker 2: Ah kiff, dost thou dare say that in my presence
- 1:02:41Speaker 2: forgetting that the pelest Dossiana yet lives. Confess thy fault
- 1:02:45Speaker 2: this instant and own her inferior to Losiana, or I
- 1:02:49Speaker 2: will make thee a dreadful example to all future knights
- 1:02:52Speaker 2: who shall dare disputy in comparableness of that divine lady.
- 1:02:57Speaker 5: True by your spitzer, Throw by your spit, and I
- 1:03:03Speaker 5: don't fear you spot. I'll beat your Lanthorne jaws into
- 1:03:09Speaker 5: your throat, you rascal.
- 1:03:13Speaker 1: Squire Badger offers to strike don Quixote.
- 1:03:17Speaker 19: Oh, that this fellow we're at the devil, dear Squire,
- 1:03:19Speaker 19: let him alone.
- 1:03:21Speaker 2: Ah, I had discovered thee impostor, thanks most incomparable lady.
- 1:03:28Speaker 2: That has not suffered thy knight to pollute his hands
- 1:03:31Speaker 2: with the base blood of that impostor Squire.
- 1:03:35Speaker 1: Scene six Don Quixote Sancho, Squire Badger.
- 1:03:41Speaker 3: Oh, sir, I have been seeking your honor. I have
- 1:03:46Speaker 3: such news to tell you.
- 1:03:50Speaker 2: Sancho, on case this instant and handle that squire as
- 1:03:53Speaker 2: he deserves.
- 1:03:55Speaker 3: My lady Dulcineer, Sir.
- 1:03:58Speaker 2: Has been abused, has been injured by the flunderous tongue
- 1:04:03Speaker 2: of that squire. But Sir, if thou expected to live
- 1:04:07Speaker 2: a moment. Answer me not a word till that cadiff
- 1:04:10Speaker 2: hath felt by fist.
- 1:04:13Speaker 3: Nay, sir, with all my heart, as far as a
- 1:04:17Speaker 3: cuff or two goes me. Hate your squire errants that
- 1:04:22Speaker 3: carry arms about them.
- 1:04:25Speaker 5: I'll box you first one hand, second with both Sarah,
- 1:04:31Speaker 5: I am able to beat a dozen of you if
- 1:04:34Speaker 5: I don't lamb thee they both strip.
- 1:04:39Speaker 3: Maybe not, brother squire, maybe not threatened. Folks live long,
- 1:04:46Speaker 3: high words, break no bones. Many walk into a bow
- 1:04:52Speaker 3: and are carried out aunt one answer. Heart is better
- 1:04:57Speaker 3: than many stone of flesh. Dead men pay no surgeons
- 1:05:05Speaker 3: say for to dance after a fiddle than a drum,
- 1:05:10Speaker 3: though not so honorable. A wise man would be a

- 1:22:51Speaker 14: stage players here and this state for above a fortnight,
- 1:22:55Speaker 14: acting as shows. But I don't know how it happened.
- 1:22:58Speaker 14: The gentry did not give them much encouragement, so at

- 1:24:02Speaker 6: Is the night of prize, mister Santo, of the approach
- 1:24:05Speaker 6: of his minstrels.
- 1:24:07Speaker 3: Yes, sir, I'd like to have cost me, dear, I'm sure,
- 1:24:12Speaker 3: for when I told him of it, he gave me
- 1:24:16Speaker 3: such a hug that I thought I should never have
- 1:24:19Speaker 3: fetched breadth any more in this world. I believe he
- 1:24:25Speaker 3: took me for the lady Dulcineaire herself.
- 1:24:29Speaker 12: But why, bittered and spurred mister Sanchel, are you going
- 1:24:32Speaker 12: on a journey?
- 1:24:33Speaker 3: Yes, madam, your ladyship knows I was ordered to go
- 1:24:39Speaker 3: for my lady dulcineaire. So what does me I but
- 1:24:45Speaker 3: right into the kitchen, where I whipped and spurred about
- 1:24:49Speaker 3: a sirloin of roast beef for a full half hour.
- 1:24:54Speaker 3: Then slap, I returned to my master, whom I found
- 1:24:59Speaker 3: leading a upon his spear, with his eyes lifted up
- 1:25:03Speaker 3: to the stars, calling out upon my Toboso lady, as
- 1:25:08Speaker 3: if the devil were in his guts. As soon as
- 1:25:13Speaker 3: he sees me, Sancho, says he, with a voice like
- 1:25:17Speaker 3: a great gun. Wilt thou never have sufficiently stuffed thy wallet?
- 1:25:24Speaker 3: Wilt thou never set out for Toboso. Heavens bless your honors, worship,
- 1:25:31Speaker 3: and keep you in your senses, says I. I am
- 1:25:36Speaker 3: just returned from thence I am sure if you fell
- 1:25:41Speaker 3: half the weariness in your bones that I do, you'd
- 1:25:45Speaker 3: think you set out with a vengeance. Truly, then, Sancho,
- 1:25:51Speaker 3: you must have traveled by chantment. I don't know whether
- 1:25:57Speaker 3: I traveled by chantment, but this I know that, about
- 1:26:02Speaker 3: five miles off I met my lady Dulcinea, how says he,

- 1:26:12Speaker 3: leapt over the wall, I says, I sure I know
- 1:26:17Speaker 3: a ladyship. He there stood in the pillory ought to
- 1:26:22Speaker 3: know what wood is made of, and a woman who
- 1:26:27Speaker 3: walks the streets ought to know whether they are paid
- 1:26:31Speaker 3: or no.
- 1:26:33Speaker 13: I hope he won't offer to be rude.
- 1:26:36Speaker 3: Your ladyship need not fear that. I dare swear he

- 1:27:56Speaker 12: The morning will be time enough. For I have taken
- 1:27:58Speaker 12: such measures I shall not be missed till then. Besides,
- 1:28:02Speaker 12: I think there was something so lucky in your coming
- 1:28:04Speaker 12: hither without having received my letter, that I cannot suspect
- 1:28:07Speaker 12: the happy success of our affair. Ah fair love, what

- 1:28:39Speaker 6: No princess would Billy pursue?
- 1:28:42Speaker 12: Would heaven but grant me the trial? A monarch should
- 1:28:45Speaker 12: meet my denial. And while other lovers I'd fly all,

- 1:29:49Speaker 19: a man might make a shift to pick up a livelihood.
- 1:29:53Speaker 4: Once a year. Why thou, unconscionable rogue. The kingdom would

- 1:32:23Speaker 4: I suppose this lord can't afford to keep a footman,
- 1:32:28Speaker 4: and so he wears his own livery.
- 1:32:31Speaker 5: I wish, my Lord, you would tell, Sir Thomas the
- 1:32:35Speaker 5: story about you and the duchess of what do you
- 1:32:40Speaker 5: call her? Odds Heart? It is one of the pleasantest stories,

- 1:33:27Speaker 5: I known as much of the world before as I
- 1:33:30Speaker 5: do now. I believe I should scarce have thought of
- 1:33:34Speaker 5: marrying who'd marry when my Lord says here a man
- 1:33:40Speaker 5: may have your great sort of ladies only for wearing
- 1:33:44Speaker 5: a broadered coat, telling half a dozen lies, and making

- 1:33:57Speaker 5: Force me, no, I believe not ecod. I should be
- 1:34:03Speaker 5: glad to see a woman that should force me if

- 1:35:16Speaker 5: have got some manners excellent?
- 1:35:19Speaker 4: A very hopeful spark this? But he has a great estate,
- 1:35:26Speaker 4: and I have no notion of refusing an estate. Let
- 1:35:30Speaker 4: the men be what he will?
- 1:35:34Speaker 1: Scene six the yard, don quixote, Sancho, how.
- 1:35:39Speaker 2: Far dost thou think the advanced guards are yet from
- 1:35:42Speaker 2: the castle, sir? But perhaps she may choose to travel incognito,
- 1:35:49Speaker 2: and may, for the greater expedition have left those cursed
- 1:35:53Speaker 2: useless heavy troops her horse guards to follow a month
- 1:35:56Speaker 2: or two. Hence, how many coaches dost thou number?
- 1:36:01Speaker 3: Truly, Sir? They were so many I could not number them.
- 1:36:07Speaker 3: I dare swear they were a good round Baker's doesn't at.
- 1:36:11Speaker 2: Least, Sancho, Thou wilt never leave debasing the greatest things
- 1:36:16Speaker 2: in thy vile phrases. Wilt thou eternally put my patience
- 1:36:21Speaker 2: to the test. Take heed unworthy, squire. When thou art
- 1:36:25Speaker 2: talking of this incompable and peerless princess, thou dost it
- 1:36:29Speaker 2: not in any of thy low repultry. For if thou
- 1:36:33Speaker 2: dost by all the powers of this invincible.

- 1:36:54Speaker 3: They make such a glittering, sir, tis impossible to know
- 1:36:59Speaker 3: one from me. They look for all the world at
- 1:37:02Speaker 3: a distance, like a flock of sheep. Ah Again, nay, sir,
- 1:37:09Speaker 3: If your worship won't let a man talk in his
- 1:37:12Speaker 3: own language, he must eat old his tongue. Every man
- 1:37:18Speaker 3: is not bred at a varsity. Who looks for a
- 1:37:21Speaker 3: courtier's tongue between the teeth of a clown? An ill
- 1:37:26Speaker 3: phrase may come from a good heart. Many men, many minds,
- 1:37:33Speaker 3: many minds, many mouths, many mouths, many tongues, many tongues,
- 1:37:41Speaker 3: many words.
- 1:37:43Speaker 2: Sees thy torrent of impertinence, and tell me is not

- 1:37:53Speaker 3: ram two on the trot, sir, cheap by jowel, sir,

- 1:38:03Speaker 3: Then comes my lady Dulcinea, all rampant in her coach,
- 1:38:09Speaker 3: with half a score dozen mates of honor. Twould have
- 1:38:14Speaker 3: done your art good to see her she looks and
- 1:38:17Speaker 3: just like.
- 1:38:19Speaker 2: Ah, like a milk white dove amongst a flight of crows,
- 1:38:24Speaker 2: to all.

- 1:38:58Speaker 10: Let me alone, pretty fellow, Or shall I have you
- 1:39:00Speaker 10: laid by the heels? What do you mean to rob me?
- 1:39:04Speaker 18: Eh?
- 1:39:05Speaker 2: Is it possible the mightyful Goren should not know me?
- 1:39:10Speaker 18: Know ye?
- 1:39:12Speaker 10: Tis not to your advantage. I believe to be known.
- 1:39:15Speaker 10: Let me tell you, Sarah, you may be tried on
- 1:39:18Speaker 10: the Black Act for going about disguised in this manner,
- 1:39:22Speaker 10: and but that I shall go a better way to
- 1:39:24Speaker 10: work with you, as good an indictment would lie on
- 1:39:27Speaker 10: that act.
- 1:39:29Speaker 2: Behold, sir, my lady Dulciana herself.
- 1:39:34Speaker 10: Light on boy. The next justice ought to be indicted
- 1:39:36Speaker 10: for not putting the laws in execution against such fellows.
- 1:39:40Speaker 1: Scene eight, Don Quixote, Sancho Jezebel.
- 1:39:45Speaker 2: Oh, most illustrious and most mighty princess, with what looks?
- 1:39:50Speaker 2: Shall I behold you? With what word? Shall I thank
- 1:39:54Speaker 2: you for this infinite goodness to your unworthy knights? Rise, sir,
- 1:40:01Speaker 2: do not overwhelm me with too much goodness. Though to
- 1:40:04Speaker 2: see you be inexpressible happiness. Yet to see you here
- 1:40:09Speaker 2: gives me some uneasiness. For almost adorable princess, this castle
- 1:40:14Speaker 2: is enchanted giants and captive ladies inhabit.
- 1:40:18Speaker 13: Only here could I but be assured of your constancy,
- 1:40:23Speaker 13: I should have no fear. But alas there are so
- 1:40:26Speaker 13: many instances of perjured men.

- 1:40:46Speaker 13: swore he'd love her truly. The maid remembered, the man
- 1:40:51Speaker 13: forgot what passed in the month of July.
- 1:40:55Speaker 2: Eternal curses light on all such perjured wretches.
- 1:41:00Speaker 13: But though you may be constant at first, when we
- 1:41:03Speaker 13: have been married a great while and have had several children,
- 1:41:07Speaker 13: you may leave me and then I should break my heart.
- 1:41:12Speaker 2: Rather, may the universal frame of nature be dissolved, perish
- 1:41:16Speaker 2: first all honesty, honor, virtue, nay not errantry itself, that
- 1:41:23Speaker 2: quintessence of all.

- 1:45:54Speaker 3: I shall leave some pounds of poor Sancho behind me.
- 1:46:01Speaker 3: If this be the effect of English beef and pudding,
- 1:46:05Speaker 3: would I well in Spain again? I begin to think
- 1:46:11Speaker 3: this ouse or castle is chanted. Nay, I fancy the
- 1:46:18Speaker 3: devil lives in it, for we have had nothing but

- 1:48:08Speaker 4: Perhaps it were better for him. If he were, I
- 1:48:11Speaker 4: shall handle him in such a manner that the rest
- 1:48:14Speaker 4: of his life shall not be much worth wishing for.
- 1:48:19Speaker 12: Thus on my knees, Sir, I entreat you, by all
- 1:48:22Speaker 12: the tenderness you ever professed to me, by all the
- 1:48:25Speaker 12: joy you have so often said I gave you, by
- 1:48:27Speaker 12: all the pain I now endure. Do not attempt to
- 1:48:30Speaker 12: insure fair love. You can inflict no punishment on him,
- 1:48:34Speaker 12: But I must feel much more than half. Is it
- 1:48:37Speaker 12: not enough to pull me, tear me bleeding from his heart?
- 1:48:40Speaker 12: Is it not enough to rub my eyes of what
- 1:48:42Speaker 12: they love more than light? Or then themselves hinder me
- 1:48:46Speaker 12: from all those scenes of bliss? I'd painted to myself.
- 1:48:49Speaker 12: Oh hear me, sir, Or kill me, and do not
- 1:48:52Speaker 12: make this life you gave a curse.
- 1:48:54Speaker 4: Oh wait, you're no child of mine?
- 1:48:58Speaker 12: Would you keep me from him? Try to make him happy?
- 1:49:01Speaker 12: That thought would be some comfort in his absence. I
- 1:49:04Speaker 12: might perhaps bear to be no partaker of his happiness,
- 1:49:07Speaker 12: but not so of his sufferings. Were he in a palace,
- 1:49:10Speaker 12: you might keep me wretched alone. But were he in
- 1:49:13Speaker 12: a prison, not all the powers on earth should keep
- 1:49:15Speaker 12: me from him.
- 1:49:18Speaker 1: Scene thirteen, Guzzle missus, guzzle constable don quixote, fair Love, John.
- 1:49:27Speaker 19: We have made a shift, and to please your worship,
- 1:49:30Speaker 19: to secure this a mad fellow at last. But he
- 1:49:33Speaker 19: has done us more mischief than ever. It will be
- 1:49:35Speaker 19: in his power to make us reparation.
- 1:49:37Speaker 14: For our house is ruined forever. There's not one whole
- 1:49:42Speaker 14: window in it. The stage coachman swears he'll never bring
- 1:49:46Speaker 14: a company to it again. This miss Sneak above in fits,
- 1:49:50Speaker 14: and mister Sneak, poor man is crying, and Madam Sneak
- 1:49:55Speaker 14: she's a swearing and stamping like a dragoon.
- 1:49:59Speaker 4: Mister fair Love, you shall answer for this, As for
- 1:50:04Speaker 4: that poor fellow there I suppose you have hired him.
- 1:50:08Speaker 4: Hark fellow, what did this gentleman give you to do
- 1:50:13Speaker 4: all this mischief?
- 1:50:15Speaker 2: Oh? It is your time now, and you may use it.
- 1:50:22Speaker 2: I perceive this adventure is not reserved for me. Therefore
- 1:50:27Speaker 2: I must submit to the enchantment.
- 1:50:31Speaker 4: Do you banter me, you rascal.
- 1:50:35Speaker 2: Poor wretch? I scorn to retort thy injurious words.
- 1:50:41Speaker 4: I'll make you know who I am presently I will so.
- 1:50:46Speaker 2: Dost thou? Then think I know THEE not to be
- 1:50:49Speaker 2: the giant to Guillacombo. Yet think not, because I submit
- 1:50:54Speaker 2: to my fortune that I fear THEE. No, the time
- 1:50:59Speaker 2: will come when I shall see THEE the prey of
- 1:51:02Speaker 2: some more happy knight.
- 1:51:04Speaker 4: I'll knight you, you dog, I will do you.
- 1:51:08Speaker 14: Hear, husband, I suppose he won't doubt whether he be
- 1:51:12Speaker 14: mad any longer or no. He makes no more of
- 1:51:15Speaker 14: his worship than if he were talking to a fiddler.
- 1:51:19Speaker 19: I wish your worship would send up to jail. He
- 1:51:21Speaker 19: seems to look most cursedly mischievous. I shall never think
- 1:51:25Speaker 19: myself safe until he is under lock and key.
- 1:51:29Speaker 6: Sir Thomas, I do not deserve this. You see you
- 1:51:32Speaker 6: at your hands, and though my love to your daughter,
- 1:51:35Speaker 6: hath made me hitherto passes? Do not cure the thing
- 1:51:39Speaker 6: too far for be assured. If you do, you shall
- 1:51:44Speaker 6: answer for it.
- 1:51:46Speaker 4: Hey, ay, sir, we are not afraid of that.
- 1:51:50Speaker 1: Scene. Fourteen squire Badger, Sir Thomas doughterea fair love? Don
- 1:51:57Speaker 1: quixote missus gussle woons?
- 1:52:01Speaker 5: What's the matter with all? It's the devil in the
- 1:52:05Speaker 5: inn that you won't let a man sleep. I was
- 1:52:10Speaker 5: as fast on the table as if I had been
- 1:52:14Speaker 5: in a feather bed spot. What's the matter? Where's my
- 1:52:19Speaker 5: lord's slang?
- 1:52:22Speaker 4: Dear squire, let me entreat you would go to bed?
- 1:52:25Speaker 4: You are a little heated with wine?
- 1:52:29Speaker 5: Woon, sir? Do you say that I'm drunk? I say, sir,
- 1:52:35Speaker 5: that I am a sober at a judge. And if
- 1:52:39Speaker 5: any man says that I am drunk, sir, he is
- 1:52:43Speaker 5: a liar and the son of a My dear, Ain't
- 1:52:50Speaker 5: I sober? Now? Oh?
- 1:52:53Speaker 12: Nauseous, stealthy wretch.
- 1:52:55Speaker 5: Poor George A pretty good wench. I'll a kiss, I'll warrant.
- 1:53:02Speaker 5: She's twice as handsome as my wife, as is to be.
- 1:53:08Speaker 4: Hold, dear sir, this is my daughter, Sir, I.
- 1:53:13Speaker 5: Don't care whose daughter she is.
- 1:53:18Speaker 12: For Heaven's sake, somebody defend me from him.
- 1:53:21Speaker 6: Let me called dogs villain, Thou hast better eat thy
- 1:53:25Speaker 6: fingers than lay him rudely on that lady.
- 1:53:29Speaker 4: Dear mister Badger, this is my daughter, the young lady
- 1:53:33Speaker 4: to whom you intended your addresses.
- 1:53:37Speaker 5: Well, sir, and ain't I'm making addresses to her, sir.
- 1:53:42Speaker 4: Hey, let me beseech you, sir, to attack her in
- 1:53:48Speaker 4: no rude manner.
- 1:53:50Speaker 5: Prithee, dost thou know who I am? I fancy if
- 1:53:55Speaker 5: thou didst know who I was, thou wouldst not talk
- 1:54:00Speaker 5: to me. So if thou dost anymore, I shall lend
- 1:54:05Speaker 5: thee and knock. Come, madam, since I have promised to
- 1:54:10Speaker 5: marry you. Since I can't be off with honor, as
- 1:54:14Speaker 5: they say, why the sooner it's done, the better, let
- 1:54:20Speaker 5: us send for a pathen and be married. Now I'm
- 1:54:24Speaker 5: in the humor spudnigins. I find there is nothing in
- 1:54:29Speaker 5: making love when a man's but once got well into it.
- 1:54:34Speaker 5: I never made a word of love before in my life,
- 1:54:39Speaker 5: and yet it is as natural, seemingly as if I
- 1:54:43Speaker 5: had been bound prenticed to it.
- 1:54:47Speaker 2: Sir, one word with you, if you please. I suppose
- 1:54:52Speaker 2: you look upon yourself as a reasonable sort of person.
- 1:54:57Speaker 2: What that you are capable of men ing your affairs,
- 1:55:01Speaker 2: that you don't stand in need of a governor?
- 1:55:04Speaker 4: Hey?
- 1:55:06Speaker 2: And if this be true of you, is it possible
- 1:55:10Speaker 2: you can prefer that wretch who is a scandal to
- 1:55:13Speaker 2: his very species, to this gentleman, whose person and parts
- 1:55:18Speaker 2: would be an honor to the greatest of it?
- 1:55:21Speaker 4: Has he made you his advocate? Tell him? I can
- 1:55:25Speaker 4: prefer three thousand.
- 1:55:27Speaker 2: To one the usual madness of mankind. Do you marry
- 1:55:32Speaker 2: your daughter for her sake or your own? If for hers,
- 1:55:37Speaker 2: sure tis something whimsical to make her miserable in order
- 1:55:40Speaker 2: to make her happy. Money is a thing well worth
- 1:55:44Speaker 2: considering in these affairs, But parents always regard it too much,
- 1:55:48Speaker 2: and lovers too little. No match can be happy which
- 1:55:53Speaker 2: love and fortune do not conspire to make so the
- 1:55:57Speaker 2: greatest addition of either illy supplies the entire absence of
- 1:56:00Speaker 2: the other. Nor would millions a year make that beast
- 1:56:05Speaker 2: in your daughter's eye preferable to this youth with a thousand?
- 1:56:10Speaker 4: What have we here? A philosophical pimp, I can't help
- 1:56:15Speaker 4: saying but the fellow has some truth on his side.
- 1:56:20Speaker 12: You are my eternal aversion.
- 1:56:23Speaker 5: Lookye, madam, I could take a joke or so, but
- 1:56:28Speaker 5: if you are in earnest.
- 1:56:30Speaker 12: Indeed I am, I hate and despise you in the
- 1:56:33Speaker 12: most serious earnest.
- 1:56:35Speaker 5: To you, then you may kiss Spot. I can hate
- 1:56:40Speaker 5: as well as you. Your daughter has affronted me here, sir,
- 1:56:46Speaker 5: what's your name? And I have satisfaction.
- 1:56:52Speaker 2: Oh that I were disenchanted for thy sake.
- 1:56:57Speaker 5: Sir, I'll have satistisfaction my daughter, Sir, Sir, Your daughter, sir,
- 1:57:07Speaker 5: is a son of a hare. Sir, Spot, I'll go
- 1:57:12Speaker 5: find my lord slang a fig for you and your
- 1:57:18Speaker 5: daughter too. I'll have satisfaction.
- 1:57:23Speaker 2: Exit a Turk would scarce marry a Christian? Slay to
- 1:57:27Speaker 2: such a husband?
- 1:57:29Speaker 4: How this man was misrepresented to me? Fellows, let go
- 1:57:34Speaker 4: your prisoner, mister fair love. Can you forgive me? Can
- 1:57:38Speaker 4: I make you any reparation for the injustice I have
- 1:57:43Speaker 4: shown you on this wretcher's account? If the immediate executing
- 1:57:49Speaker 4: all my former promises to you can make you forget
- 1:57:53Speaker 4: my having broken them. And if, as I have no
- 1:57:57Speaker 4: reason to doubt, your love for my daughter will continue
- 1:58:01Speaker 4: you have my consent to consummate as soon you please. Hers,
- 1:58:07Speaker 4: I believe you have already.
- 1:58:10Speaker 6: Who transport o blessed, mummut.
- 1:58:14Speaker 12: No consent of mine can ever be wanting to make
- 1:58:16Speaker 12: him happy?
- 1:58:18Speaker 1: Here fourteen.
- 1:58:20Speaker 6: Thus the merchant, who with pleasure long adventured on the main,
- 1:58:24Speaker 6: hugging fast his darling treasure, gaily smiles on past toils,
- 1:58:29Speaker 6: well repaid for all his pain.
- 1:58:32Speaker 12: Thus the nymph, who dream of frighting with her lover's
- 1:58:34Speaker 12: death alarms wakes with transports, all delighting, madly blessed when
- 1:58:40Speaker 12: caressed in his warm and twining arms.
- 1:58:44Speaker 14: Lord bless 'em, who could have parted them that hadn't
- 1:58:48Speaker 14: a heart of oak.
- 1:58:50Speaker 2: Here are the fruits of knight errantry for you. Here
- 1:58:53Speaker 2: is an instance of what admirable service we are to mankind.
- 1:58:58Speaker 2: I find some of them are reserved for don Quixote
- 1:59:01Speaker 2: de la Mancha.
- 1:59:03Speaker 4: Don Quixote de la mancha. Is it possible that you
- 1:59:07Speaker 4: can be the real don Quixote de la mancha?
- 1:59:11Speaker 2: Truly, Sir, I have had so much ado with enchanters
- 1:59:15Speaker 2: that I dare not affirm whether I am really myself
- 1:59:18Speaker 2: or no.
- 1:59:20Speaker 4: Sir, I honor you much I have heard of your
- 1:59:24Speaker 4: great achievements in Spain. What brought you to England? Noble
- 1:59:29Speaker 4: don a.
- 1:59:31Speaker 2: Sort of adventures, sir? No place abounds more with them.
- 1:59:35Speaker 2: I was told there was a plenty of stock of monsters,
- 1:59:39Speaker 2: nor have I found one less than I expected.
- 1:59:42Speaker 1: Scene fifteen Don Quixote, Sir Thomas, fair love doroterere, guzzle, missus, guzzle, brief,
- 1:59:52Speaker 1: doctor drench.
- 1:59:54Speaker 10: I'll have satisfaction. I won't be used after this man
- 1:59:57Speaker 10: for nothing while there is either law or judge or
- 2:00:00Speaker 10: justice or jury or crown office, or actions of damages
- 2:00:04Speaker 10: or on the case, or trespasses or assaults and batteries.
- 2:00:08Speaker 4: What's the matter, mister councero.
- 2:00:11Speaker 10: Ugh, Sir Thomas, I am abused, beaten, hurt, maimed, disfigured, defaced, dismembered, killed,
- 2:00:20Speaker 10: massacred and murdered by this rogue robber, rascal villain. I
- 2:00:25Speaker 10: shan't be able to appear at Westminster Hall the whole term.
- 2:00:29Speaker 10: It will be as good as three hundred pounds off
- 2:00:31Speaker 10: my pocket as was ever taken.
- 2:00:33Speaker 11: If this madman be not blooded, cupped, sweated, blistered, vomited, purged,
- 2:00:39Speaker 11: this instant, he won't be incurable. I am well acquainted
- 2:00:44Speaker 11: with this sort of frenzy. His next paroxysm will be
- 2:00:47Speaker 11: six times as strong as the former.
- 2:00:50Speaker 2: Prah.
- 2:00:51Speaker 10: The man is no more mad than I am. I
- 2:00:54Speaker 10: should be finally off if he could be proved non compassments.
- 2:00:57Speaker 10: It's an easy thing for a man to pretend madness.
- 2:00:59Speaker 10: Exp host facto, pretend madness.
- 2:01:04Speaker 11: Give me leave to tell you, mister brief, I am
- 2:01:07Speaker 11: not to be pretended with. I judge by symptoms.
- 2:01:11Speaker 10: Sir, symptoms, Dad. Here are symptoms for you if you
- 2:01:15Speaker 10: come to that.
- 2:01:17Speaker 11: Very plain symptoms of madness.
- 2:01:19Speaker 10: I think very fine, indeed, very fine doctrine, very fine. Indeed,
- 2:01:24Speaker 10: a man's beating of another is a proof of madness.
- 2:01:27Speaker 10: So that if a man be indicted, he has nothing
- 2:01:30Speaker 10: to do but to plead non compassmentus. And he's acquisitive,
- 2:01:34Speaker 10: of course, So there's an end of all actions of
- 2:01:37Speaker 10: assaults and battery at once.
- 2:01:40Speaker 1: Scene sixteen Sir Thomas Cook, don Quixote, Sancho, fair love,
- 2:01:48Speaker 1: doctor drench servants hailing in Sancho, Hey.
- 2:01:52Speaker 4: Day, what's the matter now?
- 2:01:55Speaker 18: Bring him along? Bring him along, a man, master, No
- 2:02:01Speaker 18: wonder you've complained so long of missing your victuals. For
- 2:02:05Speaker 18: all the time you were out in the yard, this
- 2:02:07Speaker 18: rogue has been stuffing his guts in the pantry. Nay,
- 2:02:12Speaker 18: he has not only done that, but everything he could
- 2:02:15Speaker 18: not eat he's crammed into that great sack there which
- 2:02:18Speaker 18: he calls a wallet.
- 2:02:21Speaker 2: Thou scandal to the name of Squire, wilt thou eternally
- 2:02:26Speaker 2: bring shame on thy master by these little pilfering tricks.
- 2:02:30Speaker 3: Nay, nay, you have no reason to talk, good master
- 2:02:35Speaker 3: of mine. The receivers as bad as the thief, and
- 2:02:40Speaker 3: you have been glad. Let me tell you, after some
- 2:02:44Speaker 3: of your adventures, to see the inside of the wallet
- 2:02:48Speaker 3: as well as I what a pox are these your
- 2:02:52Speaker 3: errantry tricks to leave your friends in the lurch.
- 2:02:57Speaker 4: Slave kadid, dear Knight, be not angry with the Trestissancho.
- 2:03:05Speaker 4: You know, by the laws of knight errantry, stuffing the
- 2:03:09Speaker 4: wallet has still been the privilege of the squire.
- 2:03:13Speaker 3: If this gentleman be a knight errant, I wish he
- 2:03:18Speaker 3: would make me square.
- 2:03:20Speaker 6: I'm pacified, Landlord, to be easy. Whatever you may have
- 2:03:26Speaker 6: suffered by mister Sancho or his illustrious master, I'll see
- 2:03:31Speaker 6: you paid.
- 2:03:33Speaker 4: If you will honor my house, noble knight, and be
- 2:03:37Speaker 4: present at my daughter's wedding with this gentleman, we will
- 2:03:41Speaker 4: do the best in our power for your entertainment.
- 2:03:46Speaker 2: Sir, I accept your offer, and, unless any immediate adventure
- 2:03:51Speaker 2: of moment should intervene, will attend you.
- 2:03:55Speaker 3: Oh Rare Sancho, this is brave newsy thing. Give me
- 2:04:03Speaker 3: your wedding adventures the devil table of rest.
- 2:04:09Speaker 11: Sure, Saint Thomas, you will not take a mad bend
- 2:04:12Speaker 11: home with you to your house.
- 2:04:14Speaker 2: I have heard thee thou ignorant wretch throw that word
- 2:04:17Speaker 2: in my face with patience, for alas could it be proved?
- 2:04:23Speaker 2: What were it more than almost all mankind in some
- 2:04:26Speaker 2: degrees deserve? Who would doubt the noisy, boisterous squire who
- 2:04:32Speaker 2: was here just now to be mad? Must not this
- 2:04:35Speaker 2: noble knight here have been mad to think of marrying
- 2:04:39Speaker 2: his daughter to such a wretch. You doctor are mad too,
- 2:04:44Speaker 2: though not so mad as your patience. The lawyer here
- 2:04:47Speaker 2: is mad, or he would not have gone into a
- 2:04:49Speaker 2: scuffle when it is the business of men of his
- 2:04:51Speaker 2: profession to set other men by the ears and keep
- 2:04:54Speaker 2: clear themselves.
- 2:04:57Speaker 4: I don't know whether this night, by and by may
- 2:05:01Speaker 4: not prove us all to be more mad than himself.
- 2:05:06Speaker 6: Perhaps, Sir Thomas, that is no such difficult point.
- 2:05:10Speaker 1: Air fifteen country Bumpkin.
- 2:05:14Speaker 6: All mankind are mad. Tis played, some for places, some embraces.
- 2:05:20Speaker 6: Some are mad to keep up gain, and others mad
- 2:05:23Speaker 6: to spend it. Courtiers, we may mad men rate poor
- 2:05:26Speaker 6: believers and deceivers. Some are mad to hurt the state,
- 2:05:30Speaker 6: and others mad to mend it.
- 2:05:33Speaker 12: Lawyers are for bedlam fit, or they never could endeavor
- 2:05:37Speaker 12: have the rogueries to commit which were so mad to
- 2:05:40Speaker 12: let him Poets. Madmen are no doubt with projectors and directors.
- 2:05:44Speaker 12: Women all are mad throughout, and we more mad to
- 2:05:47Speaker 12: get them. Since your madness is so plain. Each spectator
- 2:05:51Speaker 12: of good nature, with applause, will entertain his brother of
