CERVANTES <br>
May I set the stage? I shall impersonate a man. <br>
Come, enter into my imagination and see him! <br>
His name... Alonso Quijana... a country squire, <br>
no longer young... bony, hollow-faced... eyes <br>
that burn with the fire of inner vision. Being <br>
retired, he has much time for books. He studies <br>
them from morn to night and often through the <br>
night as well. And all he reads oppresses him... <br>
fills him with indignation at man's murderous <br>
ways toward man. And he conceives the strangest <br>
project ever imagined... to become a knight-errant <br>
and sally forth into the world to right all <br>
wrongs. No longer shall he be plain Alonso Quijana... <br>
but a dauntless knight known as - <br>
Don Quixote de La Mancha! <br>
<br>
DON QUIXOTE <br>
Hear me now <br>
Oh thou bleak and unbearable world, <br>
Thou art base and debauched as can be; <br>
And a knight with his banners all bravely unfurled <br>
Now hurls down his gauntlet to thee! <br>
I am I, Don Quixote, <br>
The Lord of La Mancha, รพ <br>
My destiny calls and I go, <br>
And the wild winds of fortune <br>
Will carry me onward, <br>
Oh whithersoever they blow. <br>
Whithersoever they blow, <br>
Onward to glory I go! <br>
<br>
SANCHO PANZA <br>
I'm Sancho! Yes, I'm Sancho! <br>
I'll follow my master till the end. <br>
I'll tell all the world proudly <br>
I'm his squire! I'm his friend! <br>
<br>
DON QUIXOTE <br>
Hear me, heathens and wizards <br>
And serpents of sin! <br>
All your dastardly doings are past, <br>
For a holy endeavor is now to begin <br>
And virtue shall triumph at last! <br>
<br>
(Don Quixote and Sancho Panza mount their horses and set out along a road) <br>
<br>
DON QUIXOTE <br>
I am I, Don Quixote, <br>
The Lord of la Mancha, <br>
My destiny calls and I go, <br>
And the wild winds of fortune <br>
Will carry me onward, <br>
Oh whithersoever they blow! <br>
SANCHO <br>
I'm Sancho! Yes, I'm Sancho! <br>
I'll follow my master till the end. <br>
I'll tell all the world proudly <br>
I'm his squire! I'm his friend! <br>
<br>
DON QUIXOTE, SANCHO <br>
Whithersoever they blow, <br>
Onward to glory I {we} go! <br>
<br>
At an Inn full of rough men - Muleteers - and rough women <br>
<br>
