In its terror it ran to take shelter and hide itself under +Dapple. Sancho caught it alive and presented it to Don Quixote, who was +saying, "Malum signum, malum signum! a hare flies, greyhounds chase it, +Dulcinea appears not." + +"Your worship's a strange man," said Sancho; "let's take it for granted +that this hare is Dulcinea, and these greyhounds chasing it the malignant +enchanters who turned her into a country wench; she flies, and I catch +her and put her into your worship's hands, and you hold her in your arms +and cherish her; what bad sign is that, or what ill omen is there to be +found here?" + +The two boys who had been quarrelling came over to look at the hare, and +Sancho asked one of them what their quarrel was about. He was answered by +the one who had said, "Thou shalt never see it again as long as thou +livest," that he had taken a cage full of crickets from the other boy, +and did not mean to give it back to him as long as he lived. Sancho took +out four cuartos from his pocket and gave them to the boy for the cage, +which he placed in Don Quixote's hands, saying, "There, senor! there are +the omens broken and destroyed, and they have no more to do with our +affairs, to my thinking, fool as I am, than with last year's clouds; and +if I remember rightly I have heard the curate of our village say that it +does not become Christians or sensible people to give any heed to these +silly things; and even you yourself said the same to me some time ago, +telling me that all Christians who minded omens were fools; but there's +no need of making words about it; let us push on and go into our +village." + +The sportsmen came up and asked for their hare, which Don Quixote gave +them. They then went on, and upon the green at the entrance of the town +they came upon the curate and the bachelor Samson Carrasco busy with +their breviaries. It should be mentioned that Sancho had thrown, by way +of a sumpter-cloth, over Dapple and over the bundle of armour, the +buckram robe painted with flames which they had put upon him at the +duke's castle the night Altisidora came back to life. He had also fixed +the mitre on Dapple's head, the oddest transformation and decoration that +ever ass in the world underwent. They were at once recognised by both the +curate and the bachelor, who came towards them with open arms. Don +Quixote dismounted and received them with a close embrace; and the boys, +who are lynxes that nothing escapes, spied out the ass's mitre and came +running to see it, calling out to one another, "Come here, boys, and see +Sancho Panza's ass figged out finer than Mingo, and Don Quixote's beast +leaner than ever." + +So at length, with the boys capering round them, and accompanied by the +curate and the bachelor, they made their entrance into the town, and +proceeded to Don Quixote's house, at the door of which they found his +housekeeper and niece, whom the news of his arrival had already reached. +It had been brought to Teresa Panza, Sancho's wife, as well, and she with +her hair all loose and half naked, dragging Sanchica her daughter by the +hand, ran out to meet her husband; but seeing him coming in by no means +as good case as she thought a governor ought to be, she said to him, "How +is it you come this way, husband? It seems to me you come tramping and +footsore, and looking more like a disorderly vagabond than a governor." + +"Hold your tongue, Teresa," said Sancho; "often 'where there are pegs +there are no flitches;' let's go into the house and there you'll hear +strange things. I bring money, and that's the main thing, got by my own +industry without wronging anybody." + +"You bring the money, my good husband," said Teresa, "and no matter +whether it was got this way or that; for, however you may have got it, +you'll not have brought any new practice into the world." + +Sanchica embraced her father and asked him if he brought her anything, +for she had been looking out for him as for the showers of May; and she +taking hold of him by the girdle on one side, and his wife by the hand, +while the daughter led Dapple, they made for their house, leaving Don +Quixote in his, in the hands of his niece and housekeeper, and in the +company of the curate and the bachelor. + +Don Quixote at once, without any regard to time or season, withdrew in +private with the bachelor and the curate, and in a few words told them of +his defeat, and of the engagement he was under not to quit his village +for a year, which he meant to keep to the letter without departing a +hair's breadth from it, as became a knight-errant bound by scrupulous +good faith and the laws of knight-errantry; and of how he thought of +turning shepherd for that year, and taking his diversion in the solitude +of the fields, where he could with perfect freedom give range to his +thoughts of love while he followed the virtuous pastoral calling; and he +besought them, if they had not a great deal to do and were not prevented +by more important business, to consent to be his companions, for he would +buy sheep enough to qualify them for shepherds; and the most important +point of the whole affair, he could tell them, was settled, for he had +given them names that would fit them to a T. The curate asked what they +were. Don Quixote replied that he himself was to be called the shepherd +Quixotize and the bachelor the shepherd Carrascon, and the curate the +shepherd Curambro, and Sancho Panza the shepherd Pancino. + +Both were astounded at Don Quixote's new craze; however, lest he should +once more make off out of the village from them in pursuit of his +chivalry, they trusting that in the course of the year he might be cured, +fell in with his new project, applauded his crazy idea as a bright one, +and offered to share the life with him. "And what's more," said Samson +Carrasco, "I am, as all the world knows, a very famous poet, and I'll be +always making verses, pastoral, or courtly, or as it may come into my +head, to pass away our time in those secluded regions where we shall be +roaming. But what is most needful, sirs, is that each of us should choose +the name of the shepherdess he means to glorify in his verses, and that +we should not leave a tree, be it ever so hard, without writing up and +carving her name on it, as is the habit and custom of love-smitten +shepherds." + +"That's the very thing," said Don Quixote; "though I am relieved from +looking for the name of an imaginary shepherdess, for there's the +peerless Dulcinea del Toboso, the glory of these brooksides, the ornament +of these meadows, the mainstay of beauty, the cream of all the graces, +and, in a word, the being to whom all praise is appropriate, be it ever +so hyperbolical." + +"Very true," said the curate; "but we the others must look about for +accommodating shepherdesses that will answer our purpose one way or +another." + +"And," added Samson Carrasco, "if they fail us, we can call them by the +names of the ones in print that the world is filled with, Filidas, +Amarilises, Dianas, Fleridas, Galateas, Belisardas; for as they sell them +in the market-places we may fairly buy them and make them our own. If my +lady, or I should say my shepherdess, happens to be called Ana, I'll sing +her praises under the name of Anarda, and if Francisca, I'll call her +Francenia, and if Lucia, Lucinda, for it all comes to the same thing; and +Sancho Panza, if he joins this fraternity, may glorify his wife Teresa +Panza as Teresaina." + +Don Quixote laughed at the adaptation of the name, and the curate +bestowed vast praise upon the worthy and honourable resolution he had +made, and again offered to bear him company all the time that he could +spare from his imperative duties. And so they took their leave of him, +recommending and beseeching him to take care of his health and treat +himself to a suitable diet. + +It so happened his niece and the housekeeper overheard all the three of +them said; and as soon as they were gone they both of them came in to Don +Quixote, and said the niece, "What's this, uncle? Now that we were +thinking you had come back to stay at home and lead a quiet respectable +life there, are you going to get into fresh entanglements, and turn +'young shepherd, thou that comest here, young shepherd going there?' Nay! +indeed 'the straw is too hard now to make pipes of.'" + +"And," added the housekeeper, "will your worship be able to bear, out in +the fields, the heats of summer, and the chills of winter, and the +howling of the wolves? Not you; for that's a life and a business for +hardy men, bred and seasoned to such work almost from the time they were +in swaddling-clothes. Why, to make choice of evils, it's better to be a +knight-errant than a shepherd! Look here, senor; take my advice--and I'm +not giving it to you full of bread and wine, but fasting, and with fifty +years upon my head--stay at home, look after your affairs, go often to +confession, be good to the poor, and upon my soul be it if any evil comes +to you." + +"Hold your peace, my daughters," said Don Quixote; "I know very well what +my duty is; help me to bed, for I don't feel very well; and rest assured +that, knight-errant now or wandering shepherd to be, I shall never fail +to have a care for your interests, as you will see in the end." And the +good wenches (for that they undoubtedly were), the housekeeper and niece, +helped him to bed, where they gave him something to eat and made him as +comfortable as possible. + + + + +CHAPTER LXXIV. + +OF HOW DON QUIXOTE FELL SICK, AND OF THE WILL HE MADE, AND HOW HE DIED + + +As nothing that is man's can last for ever, but all tends ever downwards +from its beginning to its end, and above all man's life, and as Don +Quixote's enjoyed no special dispensation from heaven to stay its course, +its end and close came when he least looked for it. For-whether it was of +the dejection the thought of his defeat produced, or of heaven's will +that so ordered it--a fever settled upon him and kept him in his bed for +six days, during which he was often visited by his friends the curate, +the bachelor, and the barber, while his good squire Sancho Panza never +quitted his bedside. They, persuaded that it was grief at finding himself +vanquished, and the object of his heart, the liberation and +disenchantment of Dulcinea, unattained, that kept him in this state, +strove by all the means in their power to cheer him up; the bachelor +bidding him take heart and get up to begin his pastoral life, for which +he himself, he said, had already composed an eclogue that would take the +shine out of all Sannazaro had ever written, and had bought with his own +money two famous dogs to guard the flock, one called Barcino and the +other Butron, which a herdsman of Quintanar had sold him. + +But for all this Don Quixote could not shake off his sadness. His friends +called in the doctor, who felt his pulse and was not very well satisfied +with it, and said that in any case it would be well for him to attend to +the health of his soul, as that of his body was in a bad way. Don Quixote +heard this calmly; but not so his housekeeper, his niece, and his squire, +who fell weeping bitterly, as if they had him lying dead before them. The +doctor's opinion was that melancholy and depression were bringing him to +his end. Don Quixote begged them to leave him to himself, as he had a +wish to sleep a little. They obeyed, and he slept at one stretch, as the +saying is, more than six hours, so that the housekeeper and niece thought +he was going to sleep for ever. But at the end of that time he woke up, +and in a loud voice exclaimed, "Blessed be Almighty God, who has shown me +such goodness. In truth his mercies are boundless, and the sins of men +can neither limit them nor keep them back!" + +The niece listened with attention to her uncle's words, and they struck +her as more coherent than what usually fell from him, at least during his +illness, so she asked, "What are you saying, senor? Has anything strange +occurred? What mercies or what sins of men are you talking of?" + +"The mercies, niece," said Don Quixote, "are those that God has this +moment shown me, and with him, as I said, my sins are no impediment to +them. My reason is now free and clear, rid of the dark shadows of +ignorance that my unhappy constant study of those detestable books of +chivalry cast over it. Now I see through their absurdities and +deceptions, and it only grieves me that this destruction of my illusions +has come so late that it leaves me no time to make some amends by reading +other books that might be a light to my soul. Niece, I feel myself at the +point of death, and I would fain meet it in such a way as to show that my +life has not been so ill that I should leave behind me the name of a +madman; for though I have been one, I would not that the fact should be +made plainer at my death. Call in to me, my dear, my good friends the +curate, the bachelor Samson Carrasco, and Master Nicholas the barber, for +I wish to confess and make my will." But his niece was saved the trouble +by the entrance of the three. The instant Don Quixote saw them he +exclaimed, "Good news for you, good sirs, that I am no longer Don Quixote +of La Mancha, but Alonso Quixano, whose way of life won for him the name +of Good. Now am I the enemy of Amadis of Gaul and of the whole countless +troop of his descendants; odious to me now are all the profane stories of +knight-errantry; now I perceive my folly, and the peril into which +reading them brought me; now, by God's mercy schooled into my right +senses, I loathe them." + +When the three heard him speak in this way, they had no doubt whatever +that some new craze had taken possession of him; and said Samson, "What? +Senor Don Quixote! Now that we have intelligence of the lady Dulcinea +being disenchanted, are you taking this line; now, just as we are on the +point of becoming shepherds, to pass our lives singing, like princes, are +you thinking of turning hermit? Hush, for heaven's sake, be rational and +let's have no more nonsense." + +"All that nonsense," said Don Quixote, "that until now has been a reality +to my hurt, my death will, with heaven's help, turn to my good. I feel, +sirs, that I am rapidly drawing near death; a truce to jesting; let me +have a confessor to confess me, and a notary to make my will; for in +extremities like this, man must not trifle with his soul; and while the +curate is confessing me let some one, I beg, go for the notary." + +They looked at one another, wondering at Don Quixote's words; but, though +uncertain, they were inclined to believe him, and one of the signs by +which they came to the conclusion he was dying was this so sudden and +complete return to his senses after having been mad; for to the words +already quoted he added much more, so well expressed, so devout, and so +rational, as to banish all doubt and convince them that he was sound of +mind. The curate turned them all out, and left alone with him confessed +him. The bachelor went for the notary and returned shortly afterwards +with him and with Sancho, who, having already learned from the bachelor +the condition his master was in, and finding the housekeeper and niece +weeping, began to blubber and shed tears. + +The confession over, the curate came out saying, "Alonso Quixano the Good +is indeed dying, and is indeed in his right mind; we may now go in to him +while he makes his will." + +This news gave a tremendous impulse to the brimming eyes of the +housekeeper, niece, and Sancho Panza his good squire, making the tears +burst from their eyes and a host of sighs from their hearts; for of a +truth, as has been said more than once, whether as plain Alonso Quixano +the Good, or as Don Quixote of La Mancha, Don Quixote was always of a +gentle disposition and kindly in all his ways, and hence he was beloved, +not only by those of his own house, but by all who knew him. + +The notary came in with the rest, and as soon as the preamble of the had +been set out and Don Quixote had commended his soul to God with all the +devout formalities that are usual, coming to the bequests, he said, +"Item, it is my will that, touching certain moneys in the hands of Sancho +Panza (whom in my madness I made my squire), inasmuch as between him and +me there have been certain accounts and debits and credits, no claim be +made against him, nor any account demanded of him in respect of them; but +that if anything remain over and above, after he has paid himself what I +owe him, the balance, which will be but little, shall be his, and much +good may it do him; and if, as when I was mad I had a share in giving him +the government of an island, so, now that I am in my senses, I could give +him that of a kingdom, it should be his, for the simplicity of his +character and the fidelity of his conduct deserve it." And then, turning +to Sancho, he said, "Forgive me, my friend, that I led thee to seem as +mad as myself, making thee fall into the same error I myself fell into, +that there were and still are knights-errant in the world." + +"Ah!" said Sancho weeping, "don't die, master, but take my advice and +live many years; for the foolishest thing a man can do in this life is to +let himself die without rhyme or reason, without anybody killing him, or +any hands but melancholy's making an end of him. Come, don't be lazy, but +get up from your bed and let us take to the fields in shepherd's trim as +we agreed. Perhaps behind some bush we shall find the lady Dulcinea +disenchanted, as fine as fine can be. If it be that you are dying of +vexation at having been vanquished, lay the blame on me, and say you were +overthrown because I had girthed Rocinante badly; besides you must have +seen in your books of chivalry that it is a common thing for knights to +upset one another, and for him who is conquered to-day to be conqueror +tomorrow." + +"Very true," said Samson, "and good Sancho Panza's view of these cases is +quite right." + +"Sirs, not so fast," said Don Quixote, "'in last year's nests there are +no birds this year.' I was mad, now I am in my senses; I was Don Quixote +of La Mancha, I am now, as I said, Alonso Quixano the Good; and may my +repentance and sincerity restore me to the esteem you used to have for +me; and now let Master Notary proceed. + +"Item, I leave all my property absolutely to Antonia Quixana my niece, +here present, after all has been deducted from the most available portion +of it that may be required to satisfy the bequests I have made. And the +first disbursement I desire to be made is the payment of the wages I owe +for the time my housekeeper has served me, with twenty ducats, over and +above, for a gown. The curate and the bachelor Samson Carrasco, now +present, I appoint my executors. + +"Item, it is my wish that if Antonia Quixana, my niece, desires to marry, +she shall marry a man of whom it shall be first of all ascertained by +information taken that he does not know what books of chivalry are; and +if it should be proved that he does, and if, in spite of this, my niece +insists upon marrying him, and does marry him, then that she shall +forfeit the whole of what I have left her, which my executors shall +devote to works of charity as they please. + +"Item, I entreat the aforesaid gentlemen my executors, that, if any happy +chance should lead them to discover the author who is said to have +written a history now going about under the title of 'Second Part of the +Achievements of Don Quixote of La Mancha,' they beg of him on my behalf +as earnestly as they can to forgive me for having been, without intending +it, the cause of his writing so many and such monstrous absurdities as he +has written in it; for I am leaving the world with a feeling of +compunction at having provoked him to write them." + +With this he closed his will, and a faintness coming over him he +stretched himself out at full length on the bed. All were in a flutter +and made haste to relieve him, and during the three days he lived after +that on which he made his will he fainted away very often. The house was +all in confusion; but still the niece ate and the housekeeper drank and +Sancho Panza enjoyed himself; for inheriting property wipes out or +softens down in the heir the feeling of grief the dead man might be +expected to leave behind him. + +At last Don Quixote's end came, after he had received all the sacraments, +and had in full and forcible terms expressed his detestation of books of +chivalry. The notary was there at the time, and he said that in no book +of chivalry had he ever read of any knight-errant dying in his bed so +calmly and so like a Christian as Don Quixote, who amid the tears and +lamentations of all present yielded up his spirit, that is to say died. +On perceiving it the curate begged the notary to bear witness that Alonso +Quixano the Good, commonly called Don Quixote of La Mancha, had passed +away from this present life, and died naturally; and said he desired this +testimony in order to remove the possibility of any other author save +Cide Hamete Benengeli bringing him to life again falsely and making +interminable stories out of his achievements. + +Such was the end of the Ingenious Gentleman of La Mancha, whose village +Cide Hamete would not indicate precisely, in order to leave all the towns +and villages of La Mancha to contend among themselves for the right to +adopt him and claim him as a son, as the seven cities of Greece contended +for Homer. The lamentations of Sancho and the niece and housekeeper are +omitted here, as well as the new epitaphs upon his tomb; Samson Carrasco, +however, put the following lines: + +A doughty gentleman lies here; +A stranger all his life to fear; +Nor in his death could Death prevail, +In that last hour, to make him quail. +He for the world but little cared; +And at his feats the world was scared; +A crazy man his life he passed, +But in his senses died at last. + +And said most sage Cide Hamete to his pen, "Rest here, hung up by this +brass wire, upon this shelf, O my pen, whether of skilful make or clumsy +cut I know not; here shalt thou remain long ages hence, unless +presumptuous or malignant story-tellers take thee down to profane thee. +But ere they touch thee warn them, and, as best thou canst, say to them: + +Hold off! ye weaklings; hold your hands! + Adventure it let none, +For this emprise, my lord the king, + Was meant for me alone. + +For me alone was Don Quixote born, and I for him; it was his to act, mine +to write; we two together make but one, notwithstanding and in spite of +that pretended Tordesillesque writer who has ventured or would venture +with his great, coarse, ill-trimmed ostrich quill to write the +achievements of my valiant knight;--no burden for his shoulders, nor +subject for his frozen wit: whom, if perchance thou shouldst come to know +him, thou shalt warn to leave at rest where they lie the weary mouldering +bones of Don Quixote, and not to attempt to carry him off, in opposition +to all the privileges of death, to Old Castile, making him rise from the +grave where in reality and truth he lies stretched at full length, +powerless to make any third expedition or new sally; for the two that he +has already made, so much to the enjoyment and approval of everybody to +whom they have become known, in this as well as in foreign countries, are +quite sufficient for the purpose of turning into ridicule the whole of +those made by the whole set of the knights-errant; and so doing shalt +thou discharge thy Christian calling, giving good counsel to one that +bears ill-will to thee. And I shall remain satisfied, and proud to have +been the first who has ever enjoyed the fruit of his writings as fully as +he could desire; for my desire has been no other than to deliver over to +the detestation of mankind the false and foolish tales of the books of +chivalry, which, thanks to that of my true Don Quixote, are even now +tottering, and doubtless doomed to fall for ever.

In 2001, the Project +Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure +and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future generations. +To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation +and how your efforts and donations can help, see Sections 3 and 4 +and the Foundation web page at https://www.pglaf.org. + + +Section 3.

Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg +Literary Archive Foundation + +Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide +spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of +increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be +freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest +array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small donations +($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt +status with the IRS. + +The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating +charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United +States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a +considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up +with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations +where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To +SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any +particular state visit https://pglaf.org + +While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we +have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition +against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who +approach us with offers to donate. + +International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make +any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from +outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff. + +Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation +methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other +ways including including checks, online payments and credit card +donations. To donate, please visit: https://pglaf.org/donate + + +Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic +works. + +Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm +concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared +with anyone. For thirty years, he produced and distributed Project +Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support. + + +Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed +editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the U.S. +unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not necessarily +keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition. + + +Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility: + + https://www.gutenberg.org + +This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm, +including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary +Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to +subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks. |
