堂吉诃德|Don Quixote

Part 2 第12章|Part 2 Chapter 10

属类： 双语小说 【分类】世界名著 -[作者: 塞万提斯] 阅读：[44379]
《堂吉诃德》是一部幽默诙谐、滑稽可笑、充满了奇思妙想的长篇文学巨著。此书主要描写了一个有趣、可敬、可悲、喜欢自欺欺人的没落贵族堂吉诃德，他痴狂地迷恋古代骑士小说，以至于放弃家业，用破甲驽马装扮成古代骑士的样子，再雇佣农民桑乔作侍从，三次出征周游全国，去创建所谓的扶弱锄强的骑士业绩。他们在征险的生涯中闹出了许多笑话，到处碰壁受辱，堂吉诃德多次被打成重伤，有一次还被当成疯子关在笼子里遣送回乡。最后，他因征战不利郁郁寡欢而与世长辞，临终前他那一番貌似悔悟的话语让人匪夷所思又哭笑不得。

唐吉诃德和桑乔在碰到死神的那天夜晚是在几棵高大茂密的树下度过的。唐吉诃德听从了桑乔的劝告，吃了些驴驮的干粮。吃饭时，桑乔对主人说：

1
-

“大人，假如我选择您第一次征险得到的战利品作为对我的奖赏，而不是选择您那三匹母马下的小马驹，我也就太傻了。真的，真的，‘手中麻雀胜似天上雄鹰嘛’。”

2
-

“你若是能让我任意进攻，桑乔，”唐吉诃德说，“我给你的战利品里至少包括皇帝的金冠和丘比特的彩色翅膀。我完全可以把这些东西夺来放到你手上。”

3
-

“戏里皇帝的权杖和皇冠从来都不是用纯金做的，而是用铜箔或铁片做的。”桑乔说。

4
-

“这倒是事实，”唐吉诃德说，“戏剧演员的衣着服饰若是做成真的就不合适了，只能做假的。这就同戏剧本身一样。我想让你明白，桑乔，你可以喜欢戏剧，并且因此喜欢演戏和编戏的那些人，因为他们都是大有益于国家的工具，为人生提供了一面镜子，人们可以从中生动地看到自己的各种活动，没有任何东西能像戏剧那样，表现我们自己现在的样子以及我们应该成为的样子，就像演员们在戏剧里表现的那样。不信，你告诉我，你是否看过一部戏里有国王、皇帝、主教、骑士、夫人和各种各样的人物？这个人演妓院老板，那个人演骗子，一个人演商人，另一个人演士兵，有人演聪明的笨蛋，有人演愚蠢的情人。可是戏演完后，一换下戏装，大家都成了一样的演员。”

5
-

“这我见过。”桑乔说。

6
-

“戏剧同这个世界上的情况一样。”唐吉诃德说，“在这个世界上，有人当皇帝，有人当主教，一句话，各种各样的人物充斥着这部戏。不过，戏演完之时也就是人生结束之日。死亡将剥掉把人们分为不同等级的外表，大家到了坟墓里就都一样了。”

7
-

“真是绝妙的比喻，”桑乔开说，“不过并不新鲜，这类比喻我已经听过多次了，譬如说人生就像一盘棋。下棋的时候，每个棋子都有不同的角色。可是下完棋后，所有的棋子都混在一起，装进一个口袋，就好像人死了都进坟墓一样。”

8
-

“桑乔，”唐吉诃德说，“你现在是日趋聪明，不那么愚蠢了。”

9
-

“是的，这大概也是受您的才智影响。”桑乔说，“如果您的土地贫瘠干涸，只要施肥耕种，就会结出果实。我是想说，同您谈话就好比在我的智慧的干涸土地上施肥，而我服侍您，同您沟通，就属于耕种，我希望由此可以得到对我有益的果实，不脱离您对我的枯竭头脑的栽培之路。”

10
-

唐吉诃德听到桑乔这番不伦不类的话不禁哑然失笑，不过他觉得桑乔这番补充道的是实情，况且桑乔也确实能不时说出些令人惊奇的话来，尽管有更多的时候，桑乔常常故作聪明，假充文雅，结果说出的话常常愚蠢透顶，无知绝伦。桑乔表现出记忆力强的最佳时刻就是他说俗语时，不管说得合适不合适，这点大致可以从这个故事的过程中看到。

11
-

两人说着话，已经过了大半夜。桑乔想把他的眼帘放下来了，他想睡觉时常常这么说。桑乔先给他的驴卸了鞍，让它在肥沃的草地上随便吃草。不过，桑乔并没有给罗西南多卸鞍，因为主人已经明确吩咐过，他们在野外周游或者露宿时，不能给罗西南多卸鞍，这是游侠骑士自古沿袭下来的习惯，只能把马嚼子拿下来，挂在鞍架上。要想拿掉马鞍，休想。桑乔执行了主人的吩咐，但他给了罗西南多同他的驴一样的自由。他的驴同罗西南多的友谊牢固而又特殊，如同父子，以至于本书的作者专门为此写了好几章。但为了保持这部英雄史的严肃性，他又没有把这几章放进书里。尽管如此，作者偶尔还是有疏忽的时候，违背了初衷，写到两个牲口凑在一起，耳鬓厮磨累了，满足了，罗西南多就把脖子搭在驴的脖子上。罗西南多的脖子比驴的脖子长半尺多，两头牲口认真地看着地面，而且往往一看就是三天，除非有人打搅或是它们饿了需要找吃的。据说作者常把这种友谊同尼索和欧里亚诺①以及皮拉德斯和俄瑞斯忒斯②的友谊相比。由此可以看出，这两头和平共处的牲口之间的友谊是多么牢固，值得世人钦佩。与此同时，人与人之间的友谊倒让人困惑。有句话说道：

12
-

朋友之间没朋友，

13
-

玉帛变干戈结冤仇。

14
-

还有句话说：

15
-

朋友朋友，并非朋友。

16
-

①维吉尔的史诗《埃涅阿斯纪》中的一对好友。

17
-

②在古希腊神话中，这两人既是表兄弟，又是好友。%%%没有人认为作者把牲口之间的友谊与人之间的友谊相比是做得出格了。人从动物身上学到了很多警示和重要的东西，例如从鹳身上学到了灌肠法，从狗身上学到了厌恶和感恩，从鹤身上学到了警觉，从蚂蚁身上学到了知天意，从大象身上学到了诚实，从马身上学到了忠实。后来，桑乔在一棵栓皮槠树下睡着了，唐吉诃德也在一棵粗壮的圣栎树下打盹。不过，唐吉诃德很快就醒了，他感到背后有声音。他猛然站起来，边看边听声音到底是从哪儿传来的。他看见两个骑马的人，其中一个从马背上滑下来，对另一个说：

18
-

“下来吧，朋友，把马嚼子拿下来。我看这个地方的草挺肥，可以喂牲口，而且这儿挺僻静，正适合我的情思。”

19
-

那人说完就躺下了，而且躺下时发出了一种盔甲的撞击声。唐吉诃德由此认定那人也是游侠骑士。他赶紧来到桑乔身旁。桑乔正睡觉，他好不容易才把桑乔弄醒。唐吉诃德悄声对桑乔说：

20
-

“桑乔兄弟，咱们又遇险了。”

21
-

“愿上帝给咱们一个大有油水的险情吧，”桑乔说，“大人，那个险情在哪儿？”

22
-

“在哪儿？”唐吉诃德说，“桑乔，你转过头来看，那儿就躺着一个游侠骑士。据我观察，他现在不太高兴。我看见他从马上下来，躺在地上，有点垂头丧气的样子。还有，他躺下时有盔甲的撞击声。”

23
-

“那您凭什么说这是险情呢？”桑乔问。

24
-

“我并没有说这就是险情，”唐吉诃德说，“我只是说这是险情的开端，险情由此开始。你听，他正在给诗琴或比维尔琴调音。他又清嗓子又吐痰，大概是想唱点什么吧。”

25
-

“很可能，”桑乔说，“看来是个坠入情网的骑士。”

26
-

“游侠骑士莫不如此。”唐吉诃德说，“只要他唱，我们就可以从他的只言片语里得知他在想什么。心里有事，嘴上就会说出来。”

27
-

桑乔正要说话，传来了森林骑士的歌声，桑乔打住了。骑士的嗓音不好也不坏。两人注意听着，只听歌中唱到：《十　四　行　诗》

28
-

请你按照你的意愿，夫人，

29
-

给我一个追求的目标，

30
-

我将铭记于肺腑，

31
-

始终如一不动摇。

32
-

你若讨厌我的相扰，

33
-

让我去死，请直言相告。

34
-

你若愿我婉转诉情，

35
-

为爱情我肝胆相照。

36
-

我准备接受两种考验，不论是

37
-

蜡般柔软，钻石般坚硬，

38
-

爱情的规律我仿效。

39
-

任你软硬考验，

40
-

我都将挺胸面对，

41
-

铭刻在心永记牢。

42
-

一声大概是发自肺腑的“哎”声结束了森林骑士的歌声。

43
-

过了一会儿，只听骑士痛苦又凄凉地说道：

44
-

“哎，世界上最美丽又最负心的人啊！最文静的班达利亚的卡西尔德亚呀，你怎么能让这位已经被你俘虏的骑士无休止地游历四方，受苦受罪呢？我已经让纳瓦拉的所有骑士，让莱昂的所有骑士，让塔尔特苏斯的所有骑士，让卡斯蒂利亚的所有骑士，还有曼查的所有骑士，都承认你是世界上最美丽的人，难道这还不够吗？”

45
-

“不，”唐吉诃德说，“我是曼查的，我从没有承认也不可能承认，而且更不应该承认这件如此有损于我美丽的夫人的事情。你看见了，桑乔，这个骑士胡说八道。不过咱们听着吧，也许他还会说点什么呢。”

46
-

“肯定还会说，”桑乔说，“他可以念叨一个月呢。”

47
-

可事实并非如此。原来森林骑士已经隐约听到了有人在议论他。他没有继续哀叹下去，而是站起身，声音洪亮却又很客气地问道：

48
-

“谁在那儿？是什么人？是快活高兴的人，还是痛苦不堪的人。”

49
-

“是痛苦不堪的人。”唐吉诃德回答说。

50
-

“那就过来吧，”森林骑士说，“你过来就知道咱们是同病相怜了。”

51
-

唐吉诃德见那人说话客客气气，就走了过去。桑乔也跟了过去。

52
-

那位刚才还唉声叹气的骑士抓着唐吉诃德的手说：

53
-

“请坐在这儿，骑士大人。因为我在这儿碰到了你，我就知道你是干什么的了，我知道你是游侠骑士。这里只有孤独和寂静陪伴你，是游侠骑士特有的休息地方。”

54
-

唐吉诃德说道：

55
-

“我是骑士，是你说的那种骑士。我的内心深处虽然也有悲伤、不幸和痛苦，可我并未因此而失去怜悯别人不幸之心。听你唱了几句，我就知道你在为爱情而苦恼，也就是说，你因为爱上了你抱怨时提到的那位美人而苦恼。”

56
-

结果两人一同坐到了坚硬的地上，客客气气，显出一副即使天破了，他们也不会把对方打破的样子。

57
-

“骑士大人，”森林骑士问道，“难道您也坠入情网了？”

58
-

“很不幸，我确实如此，”唐吉诃德说，“不过，由于处理得当而产生的痛苦应该被看作是幸福，而不是苦恼。”

59
-

“如果不是被人鄙夷的意识扰乱我的心，你说的倒是事实。”森林骑士说，“不过，瞧不起咱们的人很多，简直要把咱们吃了似的。”

60
-

“我可从来没受过我夫人的蔑视。”唐吉诃德说。

61
-

“从来没有，”桑乔也在一旁说，“我们的夫人像只羔羊似的特别温顺。”

62
-

“这是您的侍从？”森林骑士问。

63
-

“是的。”唐吉诃德回答说。

64
-

“我从没见过哪个侍从敢在主人说话的时候插嘴，”森林骑士说，“至少我的侍从不这样。他已经长得同他父亲一样高了，可是我说话时他从来不开口。”

65
-

“我刚才的确插话了，”桑乔说，“而且，我还可以当着其他人……算了吧，还是少说为佳。”

66
-

森林骑士的侍从拉着桑乔的胳膊说：

67
-

“咱们找个地方，随便说说咱们侍从的事吧。让咱们的主人痛痛快快地说他们的恋爱史吧，他们肯定讲到天亮也讲不完。”

68
-

“那正好，”桑乔说，“我也可以给你讲讲我是什么样的人，看我是否算得上那种为数不多的爱插嘴的人。”

69
-

两个侍从说着便离开了。他们同他们的主人一样，进行了一场有趣的谈话。

70
-

When the author of this great history comes to relate what is set down in this chapter he says he would have preferred to pass it over in silence, fearing it would not he believed, because here Don Quixote’s madness reaches the confines of the greatest that can be conceived, and even goes a couple of bowshots beyond the greatest. But after all, though still under the same fear and apprehension, he has recorded it without adding to the story or leaving out a particle of the truth, and entirely disregarding the charges of falsehood that might be brought against him; and he was right, for the truth may run fine but will not break, and always rises above falsehood as oil above water; and so, going on with his story, he says that as soon as Don Quixote had ensconced himself in the forest, oak grove, or wood near El Toboso, he bade Sancho return to the city, and not come into his presence again without having first spoken on his behalf to his lady, and begged of her that it might be her good pleasure to permit herself to be seen by her enslaved knight, and deign to bestow her blessing upon him, so that he might thereby hope for a happy issue in all his encounters and difficult enterprises. Sancho undertook to execute the task according to the instructions, and to bring back an answer as good as the one he brought back before.

“Go, my son,” said Don Quixote, “and be not dazed when thou findest thyself exposed to the light of that sun of beauty thou art going to seek. Happy thou, above all the squires in the world! Bear in mind, and let it not escape thy memory, how she receives thee; if she changes colour while thou art giving her my message; if she is agitated and disturbed at hearing my name; if she cannot rest upon her cushion, shouldst thou haply find her seated in the sumptuous state chamber proper to her rank; and should she be standing, observe if she poises herself now on one foot, now on the other; if she repeats two or three times the reply she gives thee; if she passes from gentleness to austerity, from asperity to tenderness; if she raises her hand to smooth her hair though it be not disarranged. In short, my son, observe all her actions and motions, for if thou wilt report them to me as they were, I will gather what she hides in the recesses of her heart as regards my love; for I would have thee know, Sancho, if thou knowest it not, that with lovers the outward actions and motions they give way to when their loves are in question are the faithful messengers that carry the news of what is going on in the depths of their hearts. Go, my friend, may better fortune than mine attend thee, and bring thee a happier issue than that which I await in dread in this dreary solitude.”

“I will go and return quickly,” said Sancho; “cheer up that little heart of yours, master mine, for at the present moment you seem to have got one no bigger than a hazel nut; remember what they say, that a stout heart breaks bad luck, and that where there are no fletches there are no pegs; and moreover they say, the hare jumps up where it’s not looked for. I say this because, if we could not find my lady’s palaces or castles to-night, now that it is daylight I count upon finding them when I least expect it, and once found, leave it to me to manage her.”

“Verily, Sancho,” said Don Quixote, “thou dost always bring in thy proverbs happily, whatever we deal with; may God give me better luck in what I am anxious about.”

With this, Sancho wheeled about and gave Dapple the stick, and Don Quixote remained behind, seated on his horse, resting in his stirrups and leaning on the end of his lance, filled with sad and troubled forebodings; and there we will leave him, and accompany Sancho, who went off no less serious and troubled than he left his master; so much so, that as soon as he had got out of the thicket, and looking round saw that Don Quixote was not within sight, he dismounted from his ass, and seating himself at the foot of a tree began to commune with himself, saying, “Now, brother Sancho, let us know where your worship is going. Are you going to look for some ass that has been lost? Not at all. Then what are you going to look for? I am going to look for a princess, that’s all; and in her for the sun of beauty and the whole heaven at once. And where do you expect to find all this, Sancho? Where? Why, in the great city of El Toboso. Well, and for whom are you going to look for her? For the famous knight Don Quixote of La Mancha, who rights wrongs, gives food to those who thirst and drink to the hungry. That’s all very well, but do you know her house, Sancho? My master says it will be some royal palace or grand castle. And have you ever seen her by any chance? Neither I nor my master ever saw her. And does it strike you that it would be just and right if the El Toboso people, finding out that you were here with the intention of going to tamper with their princesses and trouble their ladies, were to come and cudgel your ribs, and not leave a whole bone in you? They would, indeed, have very good reason, if they did not see that I am under orders, and that ‘you are a messenger, my friend, no blame belongs to you.’ Don’t you trust to that, Sancho, for the Manchegan folk are as hot-tempered as they are honest, and won’t put up with liberties from anybody. By the Lord, if they get scent of you, it will be worse for you, I promise you. Be off, you scoundrel! Let the bolt fall. Why should I go looking for three feet on a cat, to please another man; and what is more, when looking for Dulcinea will be looking for Marica in Ravena, or the bachelor in Salamanca? The devil, the devil and nobody else, has mixed me up in this business!”

Such was the soliloquy Sancho held with himself, and all the conclusion he could come to was to say to himself again, “Well, there’s remedy for everything except death, under whose yoke we have all to pass, whether we like it or not, when life’s finished. I have seen by a thousand signs that this master of mine is a madman fit to be tied, and for that matter, I too, am not behind him; for I’m a greater fool than he is when I follow him and serve him, if there’s any truth in the proverb that says, ‘Tell me what company thou keepest, and I’ll tell thee what thou art,’ or in that other, ‘Not with whom thou art bred, but with whom thou art fed.’ Well then, if he be mad, as he is, and with a madness that mostly takes one thing for another, and white for black, and black for white, as was seen when he said the windmills were giants, and the monks’ mules dromedaries, flocks of sheep armies of enemies, and much more to the same tune, it will not be very hard to make him believe that some country girl, the first I come across here, is the lady Dulcinea; and if he does not believe it, I’ll swear it; and if he should swear, I’ll swear again; and if he persists I’ll persist still more, so as, come what may, to have my quoit always over the peg. Maybe, by holding out in this way, I may put a stop to his sending me on messages of this kind another time; or maybe he will think, as I suspect he will, that one of those wicked enchanters, who he says have a spite against him, has changed her form for the sake of doing him an ill turn and injuring him.”

With this reflection Sancho made his mind easy, counting the business as good as settled, and stayed there till the afternoon so as to make Don Quixote think he had time enough to go to El Toboso and return; and things turned out so luckily for him that as he got up to mount Dapple, he spied, coming from El Toboso towards the spot where he stood, three peasant girls on three colts, or fillies — for the author does not make the point clear, though it is more likely they were she-asses, the usual mount with village girls; but as it is of no great consequence, we need not stop to prove it.

To be brief, the instant Sancho saw the peasant girls, he returned full speed to seek his master, and found him sighing and uttering a thousand passionate lamentations. When Don Quixote saw him he exclaimed, “What news, Sancho, my friend? Am I to mark this day with a white stone or a black?”

“Your worship,” replied Sancho, “had better mark it with ruddle, like the inscriptions on the walls of class rooms, that those who see it may see it plain.”

“So good,” replied Sancho, “that your worship bas only to spur Rocinante and get out into the open field to see the lady Dulcinea del Toboso, who, with two others, damsels of hers, is coming to see your worship.”

“What could I get by deceiving your worship,” returned Sancho, “especially when it will so soon be shown whether I tell the truth or not? Come, senor, push on, and you will see the princess our mistress coming, robed and adorned — in fact, like what she is. Her damsels and she are all one glow of gold, all bunches of pearls, all diamonds, all rubies, all cloth of brocade of more than ten borders; with their hair loose on their shoulders like so many sunbeams playing with the wind; and moreover, they come mounted on three piebald cackneys, the finest sight ever you saw.”

“Let us go, Sancho, my son,” said Don Quixote, “and in guerdon of this news, as unexpected as it is good, I bestow upon thee the best spoil I shall win in the first adventure I may have; or if that does not satisfy thee, I promise thee the foals I shall have this year from my three mares that thou knowest are in foal on our village common.”

By this time they had cleared the wood, and saw the three village lasses close at hand. Don Quixote looked all along the road to El Toboso, and as he could see nobody except the three peasant girls, he was completely puzzled, and asked Sancho if it was outside the city he had left them.

“How outside the city?” returned Sancho. “Are your worship’s eyes in the back of your head, that you can’t see that they are these who are coming here, shining like the very sun at noonday?”

“Hush, senor,” said Sancho, “don’t talk that way, but open your eyes, and come and pay your respects to the lady of your thoughts, who is close upon us now;” and with these words he advanced to receive the three village lasses, and dismounting from Dapple, caught hold of one of the asses of the three country girls by the halter, and dropping on both knees on the ground, he said, “Queen and princess and duchess of beauty, may it please your haughtiness and greatness to receive into your favour and good-will your captive knight who stands there turned into marble stone, and quite stupefied and benumbed at finding himself in your magnificent presence. I am Sancho Panza, his squire, and he the vagabond knight Don Quixote of La Mancha, otherwise called ‘The Knight of the Rueful Countenance."”

Don Quixote had by this time placed himself on his knees beside Sancho, and, with eyes starting out of his head and a puzzled gaze, was regarding her whom Sancho called queen and lady; and as he could see nothing in her except a village lass, and not a very well-favoured one, for she was platter-faced and snub-nosed, he was perplexed and bewildered, and did not venture to open his lips. The country girls, at the same time, were astonished to see these two men, so different in appearance, on their knees, preventing their companion from going on. She, however, who had been stopped, breaking silence, said angrily and testily, “Get out of the way, bad luck to you, and let us pass, for we are in a hurry.”

On hearing this, one of the others exclaimed, “Woa then! why, I’m rubbing thee down, she-ass of my father-in-law! See how the lordlings come to make game of the village girls now, as if we here could not chaff as well as themselves. Go your own way, and let us go ours, and it will be better for you.”

“Get up, Sancho,” said Don Quixote at this; “I see that fortune, ‘with evil done to me unsated still,’ has taken possession of all the roads by which any comfort may reach ‘this wretched soul’ that I carry in my flesh. And thou, highest perfection of excellence that can be desired, utmost limit of grace in human shape, sole relief of this afflicted heart that adores thee, though the malign enchanter that persecutes me has brought clouds and cataracts on my eyes, and to them, and them only, transformed thy unparagoned beauty and changed thy features into those of a poor peasant girl, if so be he has not at the same time changed mine into those of some monster to render them loathsome in thy sight, refuse not to look upon me with tenderness and love; seeing in this submission that I make on my knees to thy transformed beauty the humility with which my soul adores thee.”

Sancho stood aside and let her go, very well pleased to have got so well out of the hobble he was in. The instant the village lass who had done duty for Dulcinea found herself free, prodding her “cackney” with a spike she had at the end of a stick, she set off at full speed across the field. The she-ass, however, feeling the point more acutely than usual, began cutting such capers, that it flung the lady Dulcinea to the ground; seeing which, Don Quixote ran to raise her up, and Sancho to fix and girth the pack-saddle, which also had slipped under the ass’s belly. The pack-saddle being secured, as Don Quixote was about to lift up his enchanted mistress in his arms and put her upon her beast, the lady, getting up from the ground, saved him the trouble, for, going back a little, she took a short run, and putting both hands on the croup of the ass she dropped into the saddle more lightly than a falcon, and sat astride like a man, whereat Sancho said, “Rogue!” but our lady is lighter than a lanner, and might teach the cleverest Cordovan or Mexican how to mount; she cleared the back of the saddle in one jump, and without spurs she is making the hackney go like a zebra; and her damsels are no way behind her, for they all fly like the wind;” which was the truth, for as soon as they saw Dulcinea mounted, they pushed on after her, and sped away without looking back, for more than half a league.

Don Quixote followed them with his eyes, and when they were no longer in sight, he turned to Sancho and said, “How now, Sancho? thou seest how I am hated by enchanters! And see to what a length the malice and spite they bear me go, when they seek to deprive me of the happiness it would give me to see my lady in her own proper form. The fact is I was born to be an example of misfortune, and the target and mark at which the arrows of adversity are aimed and directed. Observe too, Sancho, that these traitors were not content with changing and transforming my Dulcinea, but they transformed and changed her into a shape as mean and ill-favoured as that of the village girl yonder; and at the same time they robbed her of that which is such a peculiar property of ladies of distinction, that is to say, the sweet fragrance that comes of being always among perfumes and flowers. For I must tell thee, Sancho, that when I approached to put Dulcinea upon her hackney (as thou sayest it was, though to me it appeared a she-ass), she gave me a whiff of raw garlic that made my head reel, and poisoned my very heart.”

“O scum of the earth!” cried Sancho at this, “O miserable, spiteful enchanters! O that I could see you all strung by the gills, like sardines on a twig! Ye know a great deal, ye can do a great deal, and ye do a great deal more. It ought to have been enough for you, ye scoundrels, to have changed the pearls of my lady’s eyes into oak galls, and her hair of purest gold into the bristles of a red ox’s tail, and in short, all her features from fair to foul, without meddling with her smell; for by that we might somehow have found out what was hidden underneath that ugly rind; though, to tell the truth, I never perceived her ugliness, but only her beauty, which was raised to the highest pitch of perfection by a mole she had on her right lip, like a moustache, with seven or eight red hairs like threads of gold, and more than a palm long.”

“From the correspondence which exists between those of the face and those of the body,” said Don Quixote, “Dulcinea must have another mole resembling that on the thick of the thigh on that side on which she has the one on her ace; but hairs of the length thou hast mentioned are very long for moles.”

“Well, all I can say is there they were as plain as could be,” replied Sancho.

“I believe it, my friend,” returned Don Quixote; “for nature bestowed nothing on Dulcinea that was not perfect and well-finished; and so, if she had a hundred moles like the one thou hast described, in her they would not be moles, but moons and shining stars. But tell me, Sancho, that which seemed to me to be a pack-saddle as thou wert fixing it, was it a flat-saddle or a side-saddle?”

“It was neither,” replied Sancho, “but a jineta saddle, with a field covering worth half a kingdom, so rich is it.”

“And that I could not see all this, Sancho!” said Don Quixote; “once more I say, and will say a thousand times, I am the most unfortunate of men.”

Sancho, the rogue, had enough to do to hide his laughter, at hearing the simplicity of the master he had so nicely befooled. At length, after a good deal more conversation had passed between them, they remounted their beasts, and followed the road to Saragossa, which they expected to reach in time to take part in a certain grand festival which is held every year in that illustrious city; but before they got there things happened to them, so many, so important, and so strange, that they deserve to be recorded and read, as will be seen farther on.
