~ THE sixteenth century romances

IN THE sixteenth century romances
of chivalry, written in absurd, ex-
- aggerated style, were extremely
popular in Spain.
A dignified gentleman by the name
of Quixada, who lived between Aragon
and CASTLE, went crazy over these
foolish books, which he spent all his
substance in buying. His brain was
stuffed with entertainments, quarrels,
battles, challenges, wounds, magic
salveS, complaints, amourS, tOrmentS,
giants. castles, captured maidens, gal
liant rescues, and all sorts of impossi-
BILE deeds of daring, which seemed to
him as true as the most authentic his
tory. Every inn-keeper was a mag
nate; every mule-driver a cavalier.
He decided that for his own honor
and for the service Of the world, he
must turn knight-errant and jaunt
through the world, redressing wrongs,
rescuing captured %princesses. and at
last winning the imperial sceptre Of
Trapizonda.
He changed his name to Don
Quixote de Ia Mancha, got himself
dubbed knight by a rascally publican,
whose inn he thought a a castle
with four turrets crowned with pin
nacles of glistening silver. In order
to carry a full purse he sold one Of
hiS houses, mOrtgaged another and
borrowed a goodly sum from a friend.
When his practical housekeeper and
his pretty niece, together with his
neighbors. the barber and the curate,
thought to cure him by burning his
books, he was persuaded that his
library had been carried away by a
necromancer, and became crazier than
ever. He secured up a rusty suit Of
mail which had belonged to one of his
ancestors, mended the broken helmet
with a ~pasteboard vizor, patched with
thin iron plates, and thus accoutered
set forth on his old hack ROcinante,
whose ribs stuck out like the skeleton
of a ship, accompanied by a rustic
named Sancho Panza, persuaded into
serving as his squire.
