<br>

DON QUIXOTE <br>

Hand over that golden helmet! <br>

<br>

BARBER <br>

But this is a shaving basin! <br>

<br>

DON QUIXOTE <br>

Shaving basin! Know thou not what this really is? <br>

The Golden Helmet of Mambrino! <br>

When worn by one of noble heart, it renders <br>

him invulnerable to all wounds! <br>

(to the Barber whacking the barrel with his sword) <br>

Hand it over! <br>

<br>

Thou Golden Helmet of Mambrino, <br>

With so illustrious a past, <br>

Too long hast thou been lost to glory, <br>

Th'art rediscovered now at last! <br>

Golden Helmet of Mambrino <br>

There can be no hat like thee! <br>

Thou and I now, ere I die now, <br>

Will make golden history! <br>

<br>

BARBER <br>

(aside to Sancho) <br>

I can hear the cuckoo singing <br>

In the cuckooberry tree... <br>

<br>

SANCHO <br>

(aside to Barber) <br>

If he says that that's a helmet, <br>

I suggest that you agree... <br>

<br>

BARBER <br>

(aside to Sancho) <br>

But he'll find it is not gold <br>

And will not make him bold and brave... <br>

<br>

SANCHO <br>

(aside to Barber) <br>

Well, at least he'll find it useful <br>

If he ever needs a shave! <br>

<br>

DON QUIXOTE <br>

Thou Golden Helmet of Mambrino, <br>

Thy deeds the world will not forget, <br>

Now Don Quixote de La Mancha, <br>

Will bring thee greater glory yet! <br>

<br>

DON QUIXOTE, BARBER, SANCHO, MULETEERS <br>

Golden Helmet of Mambrino <br>

There can be no hat like thee. <br>

<br>

DON QUIXOTE <br>

Thou and I now, ere I die now, <br>

Will make golden history! <br>

<br>

BARBER, SANCHO, MULETEERS <br>

Golden Helmet of Mambrino <br>

Will make golden history!<br>
