19.4 Don Quixote 欲號 ka-tī 做苦瓜面騎士

我袂記得提起, tī 伊離開進前, 伊 tùi Don Quixote 講:

"記 hō͘ 好, 你因為 tùi 神聖 ê 物件動粗手, hō͘ 教會開除 ah lah, juxta illud, si quis, suadente diabolo. [仝款, 任何人 hō͘ 魔鬼牽去 (mā sī án-ne).]" 

"彼句 Latin 語我無了解," Don Quixote 回答, "m̄-koh, 我真清楚, 我無動手, kan-ta kō͘ 這支矛. 另外, 我無認為有攻擊教士 a̍h 教會物件, 做一个虔誠 Kitok 教徒, 我 tùi he 足尊敬. 我所攻擊 ê 是別个世界來 ê 幽靈 kap 鬼怪. M̄-koh, tō 講是 án-ne, 我會記得 Cid Ruy Diaz ê 下場, 伊 tī 教皇陛下面前拍碎國王大使 ê 椅仔, 教皇 chŏaⁿ kā 伊趕出教會. á Vivar ê 善良 Roderick 彼工表現 kah ná 像一个高貴 ê 英勇騎士."

聽著 che, 彼个學士 tō 離開, ná 拄才講過 ê án-ne, 啥 to 無應. Don Quixote 問 Sancho, 是啥因端 tī 彼時欲叫伊 "苦瓜面騎士." 

"我 kā 你講 lah hoⁿh," Sancho 回答, "he 是因為我借彼个 lak-soe-á 攑 ê 火把光, kā 你相一睏, 確實閣下最近 ê 面腔是我所看過上歹看 ê. 若毋是因為這擺 ê 戰鬥 siuⁿ 忝, tō 是因為欠喙齒 kap 大齻."

"代誌毋是 án-ne," Don Quixote 應, "是因為負責寫我 ê 功績 ê gâu 人定著想講, 我上好像過去 ê 騎士 án-ne, 號一个較特別 ê 名, 親像講 ‘火劍騎士,’ ‘獨角馬騎士,’ ‘少女騎士,’ ‘ 鳳凰騎士,’ ‘鷹頭獅身騎士,’ ‘死神騎士,’ kō͘ chiah-ê 名, in 出名在世. 所以我講, 定著是彼个 gâu 人借你 ê 喙 kap 你 ê 心, 講我 tio̍h 號做 ‘苦瓜面騎士.’ 自今仔日開始, 我欲 án-ne 叫 ka-tī, 這个名真適合我, 若有機會, 我欲 tī 盾牌頂面畫一个苦瓜面."

"無需要 lah, 先生, 莫了時間 kap 金錢去畫彼个面," Sancho 講, "閣下所需要 ê, kan-ta 是 kā 你 ê 面 hō͘ 看你 ê 人看, 毋免 koh ke 啥, 免看圖, 免看盾牌, in tō ē 叫你 ‘苦瓜面騎士.’ 相信我, 我講 ê 是事實, 我保證, 先生, ùi 好 ê 彼面來講, 枵飢 kap 欠大齻已經 hō͘ 你 ê 面有夠歹看, 所以我講, 完全無需要 koh 畫啥苦瓜面 lah."

Don Quixote hō͘ Sancho ê 趣味話激 kah 大笑, m̄-koh 伊猶是決定欲號彼个名, koh 欲照 ka-tī ê 設計 kā 畫 tī 盾牌.

Don Quixote 原本欲看轎內面 ê 死體是毋是 kan-ta 賰骨頭, m̄-koh Sancho 無同意, án-ne kā 伊講:

"先生, 你已經完成這擺 ê 弄險, 比我看過 ê lóng 較安全. Chiah-ê 人雖然戰敗, 凡勢 in ē 想起, 是 hō͘ 孤一人拍敗, in ē 感覺艱苦 koh 無面子, ē 堅心翻頭來揣咱麻煩. 驢仔已經款好勢, 山區已經近, 腹肚 iū-koh 枵, 咱無啥法度, 上好是緊出發, 俗語講: 死人入墓, 活人食飯."

Ná 趕驢仔行 tī 頭前, Sancho 請主人 tio̍h 綴 hō͘ 牢. Don Quixote 感覺 Sancho 講 ê 無毋著, tō 恬恬綴伊. 雙人 tī 兩座山中間行一睏仔, 發現 hia 有一个曠闊, 無人到 ê 山谷, tō 隨人落騎. Sancho kā 驢仔卸載, tō ka-tī 倒落 tī 青草頂面. 枵 kah 無地講, 兩人 kā 早頓, 中晝 kap 暗頓做一擺食, 食 kah 有夠飽. In 食幾若份 ê 冷肉, he 是護送死者 ê 教士所準備 (教士罕得食袂飽), kō͘ in ê 騾仔所揹 ê. M̄-koh, 有一件䆀事降臨 tī in, Sancho 認為 che 上蓋害, 因為 in 無酒 thang 啉, 甚至連 ùn 喙唇 ê 水 to 無. 兩人喙焦 kah 真艱苦, Sancho 看著草原頂青 koh 茈 ê 草, tō 講一寡話, che 咱留到下面章才來寫.

19.4

I forgot to mention that before he did so he said to Don Quixote, /

“Remember that you stand excommunicated for having laid violent hands on a holy thing, juxta illud, si quis, suadente diabolo.”

“I do not understand that Latin,” answered Don Quixote, “but I know well I did not lay hands, only this pike; besides, I did not think I was committing an assault upon priests or things of the Church, which, like a Catholic and faithful Christian as I am, I respect and revere, but upon phantoms and spectres of the other world; but even so, I remember how it fared with Cid Ruy Diaz when he broke the chair of the ambassador of that king before his Holiness the Pope, who excommunicated him for the same; and yet the good Roderick of Vivar bore himself that day like a very noble and valiant knight.”

On hearing this the bachelor took his departure, as has been said, without making any reply; and Don Quixote asked Sancho what had induced him to call him the “Knight of the Rueful Countenance” more then than at any other time.

“I will tell you,” answered Sancho; “it was because I have been looking at you for some time by the light of the torch held by that unfortunate, and verily your worship has got of late the most ill-favoured countenance I ever saw: it must be either owing to the fatigue of this combat, or else to the want of teeth and grinders.”

“It is not that,” replied Don Quixote, “but because the sage whose duty it will be to write the history of my achievements must have thought it proper that I should take some distinctive name as all knights of yore did; one being ‘He of the Burning Sword,’ another ‘He of the Unicorn,’ this one ‘He of the Damsels,’ that ‘He of the Phœnix,’ another ‘The Knight of the Griffin,’ and another ‘He of the Death,’ and by these names and designations they were known all the world round; and so I say that the sage aforesaid must have put it into your mouth and mind just now to call me ‘The Knight of the Rueful Countenance,’ as I intend to call myself from this day forward; and that the said name may fit me better, I mean, when the opportunity offers, to have a very rueful countenance painted on my shield.”

“There is no occasion, señor, for wasting time or money on making that countenance,” said Sancho; “for all that need be done is for your worship to show your own, face to face, to those who look at you, and without anything more, either image or shield, they will call you ‘Him of the Rueful Countenance’ and believe me I am telling you the truth, for I assure you, señor (and in good part be it said), hunger and the loss of your grinders have given you such an ill-favoured face that, as I say, the rueful picture may be very well spared.”

Don Quixote laughed at Sancho’s pleasantry; nevertheless he resolved to call himself by that name, and have his shield or buckler painted as he had devised.

Don Quixote would have looked to see whether the body in the litter were bones or not, but Sancho would not have it, saying:

“Señor, you have ended this perilous adventure more safely for yourself than any of those I have seen: perhaps these people, though beaten and routed, may bethink themselves that it is a single man that has beaten them, and feeling sore and ashamed of it may take heart and come in search of us and give us trouble enough. The ass is in proper trim, the mountains are near at hand, hunger presses, we have nothing more to do but make good our retreat, and, as the saying is, the dead to the grave and the living to the loaf.”

And driving his ass before him he begged his master to follow, who, feeling that Sancho was right, did so without replying; and after proceeding some little distance between two hills they found themselves in a wide and retired valley, where they alighted, and Sancho unloaded his beast, and stretched upon the green grass, with hunger for sauce, they breakfasted, dined, lunched, and supped all at once, satisfying their appetites with more than one store of cold meat which the dead man’s clerical gentlemen (who seldom put themselves on short allowance) had brought with them on their sumpter mule. But another piece of ill-luck befell them, which Sancho held the worst of all, and that was that they had no wine to drink, nor even water to moisten their lips; and as thirst tormented them, Sancho, observing that the meadow where they were was full of green and tender grass, said what will be told in the following chapter.

A burning torch lay on the ground near the first man whom the mule had thrown, by the light of which Don Quixote perceived him, and coming up to him he presented the point of the lance to his face, calling on him to yield himself prisoner, or else he would kill him; to which the prostrate man replied, /

“I am prisoner enough as it is; I cannot stir, for one of my legs is broken: I entreat you, if you be a Christian gentleman, not to kill me, which will be committing grave sacrilege, for I am a licentiate and I hold first orders.”

“Then what the devil brought you here, being a churchman?” said Don Quixote.

“What, señor?” said the other. “My bad luck.”

“Then still worse awaits you,” said Don Quixote, “if you do not satisfy me as to all I asked you at first.”

“You shall be soon satisfied,” said the licentiate; “you must know, then, that though just now I said I was a licentiate, I am only a bachelor, and my name is Alonzo Lopez; I am a native of Alcobendas, I come from the city of Baeza with eleven others, priests, the same who fled with the torches, and we are going to the city of Segovia accompanying a dead body which is in that litter, and is that of a gentleman who died in Baeza, where he was interred; and now, as I said, we are taking his bones to their burial-place, which is in Segovia, where he was born.”

“And who killed him?” asked Don Quixote.

“God, by means of a malignant fever that took him,” answered the bachelor.

“In that case,” said Don Quixote, “the Lord has relieved me of the task of avenging his death had any other slain him; but, he who slew him having slain him, there is nothing for it but to be silent, and shrug one’s shoulders; I should do the same were he to slay myself; and I would have your reverence know that I am a knight of La Mancha, Don Quixote by name, and it is my business and calling to roam the world righting wrongs and redressing injuries.”

“I do not know how that about righting wrongs can be,” said the bachelor, “for from straight you have made me crooked, leaving me with a broken leg that will never see itself straight again all the days of its life; and the injury you have redressed in my case has been to leave me injured in such a way that I shall remain injured for ever; and the height of misadventure it was to fall in with you who go in search of adventures.”

“Things do not all happen in the same way,” answered Don Quixote; “it all came, Sir Bachelor Alonzo Lopez, of your going, as you did, by night, dressed in those surplices, with lighted torches, praying, covered with mourning, so that naturally you looked like something evil and of the other world; and so I could not avoid doing my duty in attacking you, and I should have attacked you even had I known positively that you were the very devils of hell, for such I certainly believed and took you to be.”

“As my fate has so willed it,” said the bachelor, “I entreat you, sir knight-errant, whose errand has been such an evil one for me, to help me to get from under this mule that holds one of my legs caught between the stirrup and the saddle.”

“I would have talked on till to-morrow,” said Don Quixote; “how long were you going to wait before telling me of your distress?”

He at once called to Sancho, who, however, had no mind to come, as he was just then engaged in unloading a sumpter mule, well laden with provender, which these worthy gentlemen had brought with them. Sancho made a bag of his coat, and, getting together as much as he could, and as the bag would hold, he loaded his beast, and then hastened to obey his master’s call, and helped him to remove the bachelor from under the mule; then putting him on her back he gave him the torch, and Don Quixote bade him follow the track of his companions, and beg pardon of them on his part for the wrong which he could not help doing them.

And said Sancho, “If by chance these gentlemen should want to know who was the hero that served them so, your worship may tell them that he is the famous Don Quixote of La Mancha, otherwise called the Knight of the Rueful Countenance.”

The bachelor then took his departure.

19.2

“I will, please God,” answered Sancho, /

and the two retiring to one side of the road set themselves to observe closely what all these moving lights might be; and very soon afterwards they made out some twenty encamisados, all on horseback, with lighted torches in their hands, the awe-inspiring aspect of whom completely extinguished the courage of Sancho, who began to chatter with his teeth like one in the cold fit of an ague; and his heart sank and his teeth chattered still more when they perceived distinctly that behind them there came a litter covered over with black and followed by six more mounted figures in mourning down to the very feet of their mules—for they could perceive plainly they were not horses by the easy pace at which they went. /

And as the encamisados came along they muttered to themselves in a low plaintive tone. This strange spectacle at such an hour and in such a solitary place was quite enough to strike terror into Sancho’s heart, and even into his master’s; and (save in Don Quixote’s case) did so, for all Sancho’s resolution had now broken down. It was just the opposite with his master, whose imagination immediately conjured up all this to him vividly as one of the adventures of his books.

He took it into his head that the litter was a bier on which was borne some sorely wounded or slain knight, to avenge whom was a task reserved for him alone; and without any further reasoning he laid his lance in rest, fixed himself firmly in his saddle, and with gallant spirit and bearing took up his position in the middle of the road where the encamisados must of necessity pass; and as soon as he saw them near at hand he raised his voice and said:

“Halt, knights, or whosoever ye may be, and render me account of who ye are, whence ye come, where ye go, what it is ye carry upon that bier, for, to judge by appearances, either ye have done some wrong or some wrong has been done to you, and it is fitting and necessary that I should know, either that I may chastise you for the evil ye have done, or else that I may avenge you for the injury that has been inflicted upon you.”

“We are in haste,” answered one of the encamisados, “and the inn is far off, and we cannot stop to render you such an account as you demand;” and spurring his mule he moved on.

Don Quixote was mightily provoked by this answer, and seizing the mule by the bridle he said, /

“Halt, and be more mannerly, and render an account of what I have asked of you; else, take my defiance to combat, all of you.”

The mule was shy, and was so frightened at her bridle being seized that rearing up she flung her rider to the ground over her haunches. An attendant who was on foot, seeing the encamisado fall, began to abuse Don Quixote, who now moved to anger, without any more ado, laying his lance in rest charged one of the men in mourning and brought him badly wounded to the ground, and as he wheeled round upon the others the agility with which he attacked and routed them was a sight to see, for it seemed just as if wings had that instant grown upon Rocinante, so lightly and proudly did he bear himself. /

The encamisados were all timid folk and unarmed, so they speedily made their escape from the fray and set off at a run across the plain with their lighted torches, looking exactly like maskers running on some gala or festival night. The mourners, too, enveloped and swathed in their skirts and gowns, were unable to bestir themselves, and so with entire safety to himself Don Quixote belaboured them all and drove them off against their will, for they all thought it was no man but a devil from hell come to carry away the dead body they had in the litter.

Sancho beheld all this in astonishment at the intrepidity of his lord, and said to himself, /

“Clearly this master of mine is as bold and valiant as he says he is.”

CHAPTER XIX.

OF THE SHREWD DISCOURSE WHICH SANCHO HELD WITH HIS MASTER, AND OF THE ADVENTURE THAT BEFELL HIM WITH A DEAD BODY, TOGETHER WITH OTHER NOTABLE OCCURRENCES

19.1

“It seems to me, señor, that all these mishaps that have befallen us of late have been without any doubt a punishment for the offence committed by your worship against the order of chivalry in not keeping the oath you made not to eat bread off a tablecloth or embrace the queen, and all the rest of it that your worship swore to observe until you had taken that helmet of Malandrino’s, or whatever the Moor is called, for I do not very well remember.”

“Thou art very right, Sancho,” said Don Quixote, “but to tell the truth, it had escaped my memory; and likewise thou mayest rely upon it that the affair of the blanket happened to thee because of thy fault in not reminding me of it in time; but I will make amends, for there are ways of compounding for everything in the order of chivalry.”

“Why! have I taken an oath of some sort, then?” said Sancho.

“It makes no matter that thou hast not taken an oath,” said Don Quixote; “suffice it that I see thou art not quite clear of complicity; and whether or no, it will not be ill done to provide ourselves with a remedy.”

“In that case,” said Sancho, “mind that your worship does not forget this as you did the oath; perhaps the phantoms may take it into their heads to amuse themselves once more with me; or even with your worship if they see you so obstinate.”

While engaged in this and other talk, night overtook them on the road before they had reached or discovered any place of shelter; and what made it still worse was that they were dying of hunger, for with the loss of the alforjas they had lost their entire larder and commissariat; and to complete the misfortune they met with an adventure which without any invention had really the appearance of one. /

It so happened that the night closed in somewhat darkly, but for all that they pushed on, Sancho feeling sure that as the road was the king’s highway they might reasonably expect to find some inn within a league or two. Going along, then, in this way, the night dark, the squire hungry, the master sharp-set, they saw coming towards them on the road they were travelling a great number of lights which looked exactly like stars in motion. Sancho was taken aback at the sight of them, nor did Don Quixote altogether relish them: the one pulled up his ass by the halter, the other his hack by the bridle, and they stood still, watching anxiously to see what all this would turn out to be, and found that the lights were approaching them, and the nearer they came the greater they seemed, at which spectacle Sancho began to shake like a man dosed with mercury, and Don Quixote’s hair stood on end; he, however, plucking up spirit a little, said:

“This, no doubt, Sancho, will be a most mighty and perilous adventure, in which it will be needful for me to put forth all my valour and resolution.”

“Unlucky me!” answered Sancho; “if this adventure happens to be one of phantoms, as I am beginning to think it is, where shall I find the ribs to bear it?”

“Be they phantoms ever so much,” said Don Quixote, “I will not permit them to touch a thread of thy garments; for if they played tricks with thee the time before, it was because I was unable to leap the walls of the yard; but now we are on a wide plain, where I shall be able to wield my sword as I please.”

“And if they enchant and cripple you as they did the last time,” said Sancho, “what difference will it make being on the open plain or not?”

“For all that,” replied Don Quixote, “I entreat thee, Sancho, to keep a good heart, for experience will tell thee what mine is.”

18.5 馬鞍袋拍毋見

Don Quixote peh 起來, 倒手扶喙, 免得喙齒 lak 了了, kō͘ 另支手 lêng Rocinante ê 馬索. Rocinante tiu-tiu 守 tī 伊身邊, 實在有夠忠心 koh 乖巧. 伊行到 Sancho 身邊, 看伊 phak tī 驢仔頂, 雙手扶 tī 喙䫌, 一付落魄 ê 款勢. 看伊 chit-lō 款, 規面 ê 憂愁, Don Quixote tō kā 伊講:

"愛會記得, Sancho, 欲贏別人 tio̍h 比人做較濟. 一切咱拄著 ê 風雨 lóng 是好天得欲到 ê 信號, 表示代誌 ē lú 來 lú 好, 因為好 a̍h 䆀袂永遠存在. 所致, 歹運已經有夠久 ah, 好運定著得欲到 ah. 所以, 你毋通為我 ê 歹運來失志, 因為這 kap 你無牽礙."

"那會無牽礙?" Sancho 應, "昨昏 hông kō͘ 毯仔拋彼人 kám 毋是阮老爸 ê 囝? 今仔日拍毋見 ê 馬鞍袋連一切我 ê 財寶, kám 是別人 ê 物件?"

"啥! 馬鞍袋拍毋見, Sancho?" Don Quixote 講.

"Tio̍h, 揣無," Sancho 回答.

"若 án-ne, 咱今仔日無物件 thang 食 ah lah," Don Quixote 應.

"看款是 án-ne," Sancho 回答, "tī 這个草原若無閣下所講你 bat ê 草藥, he 像閣下這款歹運 ê 遊俠騎士用來治枵 ê mi̍h, 咱 tio̍h 枵腹肚 ah."

"講是 án-ne," Don Quixote 回答, "今我甘願有一角仔 pháng, a̍h 一塊 pháng kap 一寡鰮仔魚頭, mā 無愛食 Dioscorides 所記載 ê 草藥, 甚至 kah Laguna 醫生 ê 筆記 mā 無愛. 不而過, 善良 ê Sancho, 騎上你 ê 驢仔, 綴我行. 神飼活百物, 袂放捒咱, 尤其咱 chiah-nī 熱切為伊服務. 毋管空中 ê 飛蠓, 塗跤 ê 蟲豸, 水內 ê kōm-koaiⁿ-á, 伊 lóng 袂 kā 放捒. 伊 kō͘ 日頭照好人 kap 歹人, kō͘ 雨水 ak 義 kap 不義 ê 人."

"閣下做牧師較好過做遊俠騎士 neh," Sancho講.

"遊俠騎士逐項 bat, mā tio̍h án-ne 才 ē-sái, Sancho," Don Quixote 講, "因為早前 ê 遊俠騎士, ē-sái tī 營地講道 a̍h 講學, 袂輸 in 出業自 Paris 大學. 就這, 咱看會出, 矛無較贏筆, 筆 mā 無較贏矛."

"好 lah, 算你講了有理," Sancho 應, "今咱緊出發, 去揣所在過暝, 但願神保庇, 彼所在無毯仔, 無拋毯仔 ê 人, 無魔神仔, mā 無 ē 魔法 ê Moor 人. 若有, tō 一切交 hō͘ 魔鬼好 lah."

"講 hō͘ 神聽 lah, 乖囡仔," Don Quixote 講, "你𤆬路, 照你 ê 意思, 這擺我 kā 蹛 ê 所在 hō͘ 你發落. M̄-koh, 先伸手過來, kō͘ 指頭仔摸看我正爿頂 ham 喙齒 kap 大齻 lak 幾支, 因為 hia kài 疼."

Sancho kā 指頭仔伸入去, ná 摸 ná 問伊:

"原本這爿閣下有幾支大齻?"

"四支," Don Quixote 應, "除了後齻, 一切 lóng 好好."

"講較正經 leh, 先生."

"我講 4 支, 若無 tō 是 5 支," Don Quixote 回答, "因為這世人我 m̄-bat 挽喙齒 a̍h 大齻, mā m̄-bat 因為蛀齒 a̍h 疼風 lak 喙齒."

"Hmh, 若 án-ne," Sancho 講, "閣下下 ham kan-ta 有兩支半 ê 大齻, 頂 ham 無半支, 因為 chia kap 我 ê 手蹄仝款 iu-iu."

"我有夠歹運!" 聽著侍從報伊這个歹消息, Don Quixote án-ne 講, "我寧可 in 鏨我一支手骨, 莫是攑劍 hit 手 tō 好. 因為, 我 kā 你講, Sancho, 無喙齒 ê 喙 tō ná 無石磨仔 ê 磨房, 喙齒較值過璇石. 不過, 咱行騎士道 ê 食苦精神, 一切 lóng tio̍h 忍受. 朋友, 騎上驢仔, 你𤆬路, 我綴後面, 緊慢由你."

Sancho 照主人 ê 吩咐, 行 ǹg 伊認為有可能揣著過暝所在 ê 方向, 無離開彼條濟人往來 ê 大路. In 一路慢慢行, 因為 Don Quixote 牙槽 teh 疼, 人袂爽快, 心情鬱卒, 行袂緊. Sancho 認為 tio̍h 講話 hō͘ 伊放輕鬆. 關係 Sancho 對 Don Quixote 所講 ê 代誌, 咱 kā 囥 tī 下面章.

18.5

Don Quixote now rose, and putting his left hand to his mouth to keep his teeth from falling out altogether, with the other he laid hold of the bridle of Rocinante, who had never stirred from his master’s side—so loyal and well-behaved was he—and betook himself to where the squire stood leaning over his ass with his hand to his cheek, like one in deep dejection. Seeing him in this mood, looking so sad, Don Quixote said to him:

“Bear in mind, Sancho, that one man is no more than another, unless he does more than another; all these tempests that fall upon us are signs that fair weather is coming shortly, and that things will go well with us, for it is impossible for good or evil to last for ever; and hence it follows that the evil having lasted long, the good must be now nigh at hand; so thou must not distress thyself at the misfortunes which happen to me, since thou hast no share in them.”

“How have I not?” replied Sancho; “was he whom they blanketed yesterday perchance any other than my father’s son? and the alforjas that are missing to-day with all my treasures, did they belong to any other but myself?”

“What! are the alforjas missing, Sancho?” said Don Quixote.

“Yes, they are missing,” answered Sancho.

“In that case we have nothing to eat to-day,” replied Don Quixote.

“It would be so,” answered Sancho, “if there were none of the herbs your worship says you know in these meadows, those with which knights-errant as unlucky as your worship are wont to supply such-like shortcomings.”

“For all that,” answered Don Quixote, “I would rather have just now a quarter of bread, or a loaf and a couple of pilchards’ heads, than all the herbs described by Dioscorides, even with Doctor Laguna’s notes. Nevertheless, Sancho the Good, mount thy beast and come along with me, for God, who provides for all things, will not fail us (more especially when we are so active in his service as we are), since he fails not the midges of the air, nor the grubs of the earth, nor the tadpoles of the water, and is so merciful that he maketh his sun to rise on the good and on the evil, and sendeth rain on the unjust and on the just.”

“Your worship would make a better preacher than knight-errant,” said Sancho.

“Knights-errant knew and ought to know everything, Sancho,” said Don Quixote; “for there were knights-errant in former times as well qualified to deliver a sermon or discourse in the middle of an encampment, as if they had graduated in the University of Paris; whereby we may see that the lance has never blunted the pen, nor the pen the lance.”

“Well, be it as your worship says,” replied Sancho; “let us be off now and find some place of shelter for the night, and God grant it may be somewhere where there are no blankets, nor blanketeers, nor phantoms, nor enchanted Moors; for if there are, may the devil take the whole concern.”

“Ask that of God, my son,” said Don Quixote; "and do thou lead on where thou wilt, for this time I leave our lodging to thy choice; but reach me here thy hand, and feel with thy finger, and find out how many of my teeth and grinders are missing from this right side of the upper jaw, for it is there I feel the pain.”

Sancho put in his fingers, and feeling about asked him, “How many grinders used your worship have on this side?”

“Four,” replied Don Quixote, “besides the back-tooth, all whole and quite sound.”

“Mind what you are saying, señor.”

“I say four, if not five,” answered Don Quixote, “for never in my life have I had tooth or grinder drawn, nor has any fallen out or been destroyed by any decay or rheum.”

“Well, then,” said Sancho, “in this lower side your worship has no more than two grinders and a half, and in the upper neither a half nor any at all, for it is all as smooth as the palm of my hand.”

“Luckless that I am!” said Don Quixote, hearing the sad news his squire gave him; “I had rather they despoiled me of an arm, so it were not the sword-arm; for I tell thee, Sancho, a mouth without teeth is like a mill without a millstone, and a tooth is much more to be prized than a diamond; but we who profess the austere order of chivalry are liable to all this. Mount, friend, and lead the way, and I will follow thee at whatever pace thou wilt.”

Sancho did as he bade him, and proceeded in the direction in which he thought he might find refuge without quitting the high road, which was there very much frequented. As they went along, then, at a slow pace—for the pain in Don Quixote’s jaws kept him uneasy and ill-disposed for speed—Sancho thought it well to amuse and divert him by talk of some kind, and among the things he said to him was that which will be told in the following chapter.

“The fear thou art in, Sancho,” said Don Quixote, “prevents thee from seeing or hearing correctly, for one of the effects of fear is to derange the senses and make things appear different from what they are; if thou art in such fear, withdraw to one side and leave me to myself, for alone I suffice to bring victory to that side to which I shall give my aid;” /

and so saying he gave Rocinante the spur, and putting the lance in rest, shot down the slope like a thunderbolt. /

Sancho shouted after him, crying, /

“Come back, Señor Don Quixote; I vow to God they are sheep and ewes you are charging! Come back! Unlucky the father that begot me! what madness is this! Look, there is no giant, nor knight, nor cats, nor arms, nor shields quartered or whole, nor vair azure or bedevilled. What are you about? Sinner that I am before God!” 

But not for all these entreaties did Don Quixote turn back; on the contrary he went on shouting out, /

“Ho, knights, ye who follow and fight under the banners of the valiant emperor Pentapolin of the Bare Arm, follow me all; ye shall see how easily I shall give him his revenge over his enemy Alifanfaron of the Trapobana.”

So saying, he dashed into the midst of the squadron of ewes, and began spearing them with as much spirit and intrepidity as if he were transfixing mortal enemies in earnest. The shepherds and drovers accompanying the flock shouted to him to desist; seeing it was no use, they ungirt their slings and began to salute his ears with stones as big as one’s fist. Don Quixote gave no heed to the stones, but, letting drive right and left kept saying:

“Where art thou, proud Alifanfaron? Come before me; I am a single knight who would fain prove thy prowess hand to hand, and make thee yield thy life a penalty for the wrong thou dost to the valiant Pentapolin Garamanta.” /

Here came a sugar-plum from the brook that struck him on the side and buried a couple of ribs in his body. Feeling himself so smitten, he imagined himself slain or badly wounded for certain, and recollecting his liquor he drew out his flask, and putting it to his mouth began to pour the contents into his stomach; but ere he had succeeded in swallowing what seemed to him enough, there came another almond which struck him on the hand and on the flask so fairly that it smashed it to pieces, knocking three or four teeth and grinders out of his mouth in its course, and sorely crushing two fingers of his hand. Such was the force of the first blow and of the second, that the poor knight in spite of himself came down backwards off his horse. The shepherds came up, and felt sure they had killed him; so in all haste they collected their flock together, took up the dead beasts, of which there were more than seven, and made off without waiting to ascertain anything further.

All this time Sancho stood on the hill watching the crazy feats his master was performing, and tearing his beard and cursing the hour and the occasion when fortune had made him acquainted with him. Seeing him, then, brought to the ground, and that the shepherds had taken themselves off, he ran to him and found him in very bad case, though not unconscious; and said he:

“Did I not tell you to come back, Señor Don Quixote; and that what you were going to attack were not armies but droves of sheep?”

“That’s how that thief of a sage, my enemy, can alter and falsify things,” answered Don Quixote; “thou must know, Sancho, that it is a very easy matter for those of his sort to make us believe what they choose; and this malignant being who persecutes me, envious of the glory he knew I was to win in this battle, has turned the squadrons of the enemy into droves of sheep. At any rate, do this much, I beg of thee, Sancho, to undeceive thyself, and see that what I say is true; mount thy ass and follow them quietly, and thou shalt see that when they have gone some little distance from this they will return to their original shape and, ceasing to be sheep, become men in all respects as I described them to thee at first. But go not just yet, for I want thy help and assistance; come hither, and see how many of my teeth and grinders are missing, for I feel as if there was not one left in my mouth.”

Sancho came so close that he almost put his eyes into his mouth; now just at that moment the balsam had acted on the stomach of Don Quixote, so, at the very instant when Sancho came to examine his mouth, he discharged all its contents with more force than a musket, and full into the beard of the compassionate squire.

“Holy Mary!” cried Sancho, “what is this that has happened me? Clearly this sinner is mortally wounded, as he vomits blood from the mouth;” /

but considering the matter a little more closely he perceived by the colour, taste, and smell, that it was not blood but the balsam from the flask which he had seen him drink; and he was taken with such a loathing that his stomach turned, and he vomited up his inside over his very master, and both were left in a precious state. /

Sancho ran to his ass to get something wherewith to clean himself, and relieve his master, out of his alforjas; but not finding them, he well-nigh took leave of his senses, and cursed himself anew, and in his heart resolved to quit his master and return home, even though he forfeited the wages of his service and all hopes of the promised island.

“That knight whom thou seest yonder in yellow armour, who bears upon his shield a lion crowned crouching at the feet of a damsel, is the valiant Laurcalco, lord of the Silver Bridge; that one in armour with flowers of gold, who bears on his shield three crowns argent on an azure field, is the dreaded Micocolembo, grand duke of Quirocia; that other of gigantic frame, on his right hand, is the ever dauntless Brandabarbaran de Boliche, lord of the three Arabias, who for armour wears that serpent skin, and has for shield a gate which, according to tradition, is one of those of the temple that Samson brought to the ground when by his death he revenged himself upon his enemies. /

But turn thine eyes to the other side, and thou shalt see in front and in the van of this other army the ever victorious and never vanquished Timonel of Carcajona, prince of New Biscay, who comes in armour with arms quartered azure, vert, white, and yellow, and bears on his shield a cat or on a field tawny with a motto which says Miau, which is the beginning of the name of his lady, who according to report is the peerless Miaulina, daughter of the duke Alfeniquen of the Algarve; the other, who burdens and presses the loins of that powerful charger and bears arms white as snow and a shield blank and without any device, is a novice knight, a Frenchman by birth, Pierres Papin by name, lord of the baronies of Utrique; that other, who with iron-shod heels strikes the flanks of that nimble parti-coloured zebra, and for arms bears azure vair, is the mighty duke of Nerbia, Espartafilardo del Bosque, who bears for device on his shield an asparagus plant with a motto in Castilian that says, ‘Rastrea mi suerte’.” /

And so he went on naming a number of knights of one squadron or the other out of his imagination, and to all he assigned off-hand their arms, colours, devices, and mottoes, carried away by the illusions of his unheard-of craze; and without a pause, he continued, /

“People of divers nations compose this squadron in front; here are those that drink of the sweet waters of the famous Xanthus, those that scour the woody Massilian plains, those that sift the pure fine gold of Arabia Felix, those that enjoy the famed cool banks of the crystal Thermodon, those that in many and various ways divert the streams of the golden Pactolus, the Numidians, faithless in their promises, the Persians renowned in archery, the Parthians and the Medes that fight as they fly, the Arabs that ever shift their dwellings, the Scythians as cruel as they are fair, the Ethiopians with pierced lips, and an infinity of other nations whose features I recognise and descry, though I cannot recall their names. /

In this other squadron there come those that drink of the crystal streams of the olive-bearing Betis, those that make smooth their countenances with the water of the ever rich and golden Tagus, those that rejoice in the fertilising flow of the divine Genil, those that roam the Tartesian plains abounding in pasture, those that take their pleasure in the Elysian meadows of Jerez, the rich Manchegans crowned with ruddy ears of corn, the wearers of iron, old relics of the Gothic race, those that bathe in the Pisuerga renowned for its gentle current, those that feed their herds along the spreading pastures of the winding Guadiana famed for its hidden course, those that tremble with the cold of the pineclad Pyrenees or the dazzling snows of the lofty Apennine; in a word, as many as all Europe includes and contains.”

Good God! what a number of countries and nations he named! giving to each its proper attributes with marvellous readiness; brimful and saturated with what he had read in his lying books! Sancho Panza hung upon his words without speaking, and from time to time turned to try if he could see the knights and giants his master was describing, and as he could not make out one of them he said to him:

“Señor, devil take it if there’s a sign of any man you talk of, knight or giant, in the whole thing; maybe it’s all enchantment, like the phantoms last night.”

“How canst thou say that!” answered Don Quixote; “dost thou not hear the neighing of the steeds, the braying of the trumpets, the roll of the drums?”

“I hear nothing but a great bleating of ewes and sheep,” said Sancho; which was true, for by this time the two flocks had come close.

"Sancho, 今仔日定著是命運為我安排 ê 好日. 我相信, 這工我欲像往過 án-ne 顯示我 ê 力量, tī 這工做出久久留名 tī 歷史 ê 事蹟. 你有看著彼爿夯起 ê 塗粉無? Hmh, he 是一隊由各種 koh 無數 ê 民族所組成 ê 大軍隊行 ǹg chia 來所引起 ê."

"若 án-ne, 定著有兩隊," Sancho 講, "因為 tī in ê 對面向彼爿, mā 有另外一陣塗粉."

Don Quixote 越過看, 發現果然是 án-ne, 大歡喜. 伊推斷, che 是兩隊軍隊欲 tī 這个曠闊平陽交戰. 因為時時刻刻, 月月日日伊總是 teh 幻想戰鬥, 魔法, 弄險, 慌狂事蹟, 愛情, 決鬥, 等等記載 tī 騎士故事冊內面 ê 代誌, 一切伊 ê 所講, 所想, 所做, lóng kap chiah-ê 有關係. 今伊所看著 ê 塗粉, 其實, 是由兩大陣羊陣, tī 仝一條路 ê 雙頭所夯起 ê. 因為塗粉 phōng-phōng eng, tio̍h 等到較接近才看會出. M̄-koh, Don Quixote 斷定, he 是兩隊軍隊, Sancho 綴 leh 相信, tō 講:

"若 án-ne, 咱欲按怎好, 先生?"

"按怎好?" Don Quixote 講, "幫助弱者 kap 需要 ê 人. 你 tio̍h 知, Sancho, 咱對面來 ê, 是由 Trapobana 大島島主 Alifanfaron 所率領 ê 軍隊. Á ùi 咱後面來 ê, 是伊 ê 敵人, Garamantas 人 ê 國王, 空手 Pentapolin, 因為伊戰鬥 ê 時總是正手空空."

"但, 這兩位大人是按怎成做敵人?"

"In 成做對敵," Don Quixote 應, "因為 Alifanfaron 是一个歹性地 ê 異教徒, 伊去愛著 Pentapolin ê 查某囝, 一个媠 koh 優雅 ê 女士, 一个 Kitok 徒. 姻老爸無愛 kā 查某囝嫁 hō͘ 異教徒國王, 除非伊先放棄彼个假先知 Mahomet ê 宗教, 改信 Kitok 教." 

"我 kō͘ 喙鬚立誓," Sancho 講, Pentapolin án-ne 做真正確, 我 ē 盡力幫贊伊."

"Án-ne 做是你 ê 責任, Sancho," Don Quixote 講, "因為參加像這款戰鬥, 無一定 tio̍h 有名號 ê 騎士才 ē-sái."

"Che 我真了解," Sancho 回答, "但, 咱欲 kā 驢仔囥佗位, 等戰鬥了後 koh 揣 ē-tio̍h 伊? 因為我相信, 自來無騎 chit-lō 動物上戰場 ê 慣例."

"無毋著," Don Quixote 講, "上好 ê 法度是放伊去, 靠伊 ê 運氣, 看到時是毋是 ē 拍毋見. 等戰贏了後, 咱 ē 有濟濟馬, 甚至 Rocinante mā 可能換做別隻. M̄-koh, 注意聽, mā 注意看, 因為我欲來紹介 chit 兩隊軍隊 ê 主要騎士 ah. 為著 hō͘ 你較好觀察 kap 認明, 咱先徙去彼爿 ê 小山崙頂, tī hia 看 ē-tio̍h 雙爿 ê 軍隊."

 In 徙到 hia, peh 到懸地, 若毋是因為塗粉閘著視線, tī hia in ē-tàng 清楚看著 Don Quixote 認為是軍隊 ê 兩陣羊陣. 不而過, Don Quixote 憑想像, 看著其實無看著, mā 無存在 ê 物件, 大聲講:

18.2

Thus talking, Don Quixote and his squire were going along, when, on the road they were following, Don Quixote perceived approaching them a large and thick cloud of dust, on seeing which he turned to Sancho and said:

“This is the day, Sancho, on which will be seen the boon my fortune is reserving for me; this, I say, is the day on which as much as on any other shall be displayed the might of my arm, and on which I shall do deeds that shall remain written in the book of fame for all ages to come. Seest thou that cloud of dust which rises yonder? Well, then, all that is churned up by a vast army composed of various and countless nations that comes marching there.”

“According to that there must be two,” said Sancho, “for on this opposite side also there rises just such another cloud of dust.”

Don Quixote turned to look and found that it was true, and rejoicing exceedingly, he concluded that they were two armies about to engage and encounter in the midst of that broad plain; for at all times and seasons his fancy was full of the battles, enchantments, adventures, crazy feats, loves, and defiances that are recorded in the books of chivalry, and everything he said, thought, or did had reference to such things. Now the cloud of dust he had seen was raised by two great droves of sheep coming along the same road in opposite directions, which, because of the dust, did not become visible until they drew near, but Don Quixote asserted so positively that they were armies that Sancho was led to believe it and say, /

“Well, and what are we to do, señor?”

c18b.jpg (339K)

“What?” said Don Quixote: “give aid and assistance to the weak and those who need it; and thou must know, Sancho, that this which comes opposite to us is conducted and led by the mighty emperor Alifanfaron, lord of the great isle of Trapobana; this other that marches behind me is that of his enemy the king of the Garamantas, Pentapolin of the Bare Arm, for he always goes into battle with his right arm bare.”

“But why are these two lords such enemies?”

“They are at enmity,” replied Don Quixote, “because this Alifanfaron is a furious pagan and is in love with the daughter of Pentapolin, who is a very beautiful and moreover gracious lady, and a Christian, and her father is unwilling to bestow her upon the pagan king unless he first abandons the religion of his false prophet Mahomet, and adopts his own.”

“By my beard,” said Sancho, “but Pentapolin does quite right, and I will help him as much as I can.”

“In that thou wilt do what is thy duty, Sancho,” said Don Quixote; “for to engage in battles of this sort it is not requisite to be a dubbed knight.”

“That I can well understand,” answered Sancho; “but where shall we put this ass where we may be sure to find him after the fray is over? for I believe it has not been the custom so far to go into battle on a beast of this kind.”

“That is true,” said Don Quixote, “and what you had best do with him is to leave him to take his chance whether he be lost or not, for the horses we shall have when we come out victors will be so many that even Rocinante will run a risk of being changed for another. But attend to me and observe, for I wish to give thee some account of the chief knights who accompany these two armies; and that thou mayest the better see and mark, let us withdraw to that hillock which rises yonder, whence both armies may be seen.”

They did so, and placed themselves on a rising ground from which the two droves that Don Quixote made armies of might have been plainly seen if the clouds of dust they raised had not obscured them and blinded the sight; nevertheless, seeing in his imagination what he did not see and what did not exist, he began thus in a loud voice:

CHAPTER XVIII.

IN WHICH IS RELATED THE DISCOURSE SANCHO PANZA HELD WITH HIS MASTER, DON QUIXOTE, AND OTHER ADVENTURES WORTH RELATING

c18a.jpg (79K)

18.1

Sancho reached his master so limp and faint that he could not urge on his beast. When Don Quixote saw the state he was in he said, /

“I have now come to the conclusion, good Sancho, that this castle or inn is beyond a doubt enchanted, because those who have so atrociously diverted themselves with thee, what can they be but phantoms or beings of another world? and I hold this confirmed by having noticed that when I was by the wall of the yard witnessing the acts of thy sad tragedy, it was out of my power to mount upon it, nor could I even dismount from Rocinante, because they no doubt had me enchanted; for I swear to thee by the faith of what I am that if I had been able to climb up or dismount, I would have avenged thee in such a way that those braggart thieves would have remembered their freak for ever, even though in so doing I knew that I contravened the laws of chivalry, which, as I have often told thee, do not permit a knight to lay hands on him who is not one, save in case of urgent and great necessity in defence of his own life and person.”

“I would have avenged myself too if I could,” said Sancho, “whether I had been dubbed knight or not, but I could not; though for my part I am persuaded those who amused themselves with me were not phantoms or enchanted men, as your worship says, but men of flesh and bone like ourselves; and they all had their names, for I heard them name them when they were tossing me, and one was called Pedro Martinez, and another Tenorio Hernandez, and the innkeeper, I heard, was called Juan Palomeque the Left-handed; so that, señor, your not being able to leap over the wall of the yard or dismount from your horse came of something else besides enchantments; and what I make out clearly from all this is, that these adventures we go seeking will in the end lead us into such misadventures that we shall not know which is our right foot; and that the best and wisest thing, according to my small wits, would be for us to return home, now that it is harvest-time, and attend to our business, and give over wandering from Zeca to Mecca and from pail to bucket, as the saying is.”

“How little thou knowest about chivalry, Sancho,” replied Don Quixote; “hold thy peace and have patience; the day will come when thou shalt see with thine own eyes what an honourable thing it is to wander in the pursuit of this calling; nay, tell me, what greater pleasure can there be in the world, or what delight can equal that of winning a battle, and triumphing over one’s enemy? None, beyond all doubt.”

“Very likely,” answered Sancho, “though I do not know it; all I know is that since we have been knights-errant, or since your worship has been one (for I have no right to reckon myself one of so honourable a number) we have never won any battle except the one with the Biscayan, and even out of that your worship came with half an ear and half a helmet the less; and from that till now it has been all cudgellings and more cudgellings, cuffs and more cuffs, I getting the blanketing over and above, and falling in with enchanted persons on whom I cannot avenge myself so as to know what the delight, as your worship calls it, of conquering an enemy is like.”

“That is what vexes me, and what ought to vex thee, Sancho,” replied Don Quixote; “but henceforward I will endeavour to have at hand some sword made by such craft that no kind of enchantments can take effect upon him who carries it, and it is even possible that fortune may procure for me that which belonged to Amadis when he was called ‘The Knight of the Burning Sword,’ which was one of the best swords that ever knight in the world possessed, for, besides having the said virtue, it cut like a razor, and there was no armour, however strong and enchanted it might be, that could resist it.”

“Such is my luck,” said Sancho, “that even if that happened and your worship found some such sword, it would, like the balsam, turn out serviceable and good for dubbed knights only, and as for the squires, they might sup sorrow.”

“Fear not that, Sancho,” said Don Quixote: “Heaven will deal better by thee.”

17.5

The cries of the poor blanketed wretch were so loud that they reached the ears of his master, who, halting to listen attentively, was persuaded that some new adventure was coming, until he clearly perceived that it was his squire who uttered them. Wheeling about he came up to the inn with a laborious gallop, and finding it shut went round it to see if he could find some way of getting in; but as soon as he came to the wall of the yard, which was not very high, he discovered the game that was being played with his squire. He saw him rising and falling in the air with such grace and nimbleness that, had his rage allowed him, it is my belief he would have laughed. /

He tried to climb from his horse on to the top of the wall, but he was so bruised and battered that he could not even dismount; and so from the back of his horse he began to utter such maledictions and objurgations against those who were blanketing Sancho as it would be impossible to write down accurately: they, however, did not stay their laughter or their work for this, nor did the flying Sancho cease his lamentations, mingled now with threats, now with entreaties but all to little purpose, or none at all, until from pure weariness they left off. They then brought him his ass, and mounting him on top of it they put his jacket round him; and the compassionate Maritornes, seeing him so exhausted, thought fit to refresh him with a jug of water, and that it might be all the cooler she fetched it from the well. Sancho took it, and as he was raising it to his mouth he was stopped by the cries of his master exclaiming, /

“Sancho, my son, drink not water; drink it not, my son, for it will kill thee; see, here I have the blessed balsam (and he held up the flask of liquor), and with drinking two drops of it thou wilt certainly be restored.”

At these words Sancho turned his eyes asquint, and in a still louder voice said, /

“Can it be your worship has forgotten that I am not a knight, or do you want me to end by vomiting up what bowels I have left after last night? Keep your liquor in the name of all the devils, and leave me to myself!” and at one and the same instant he left off talking and began drinking; but as at the first sup he perceived it was water he did not care to go on with it, and begged Maritornes to fetch him some wine, which she did with right good will, and paid for it with her own money; for indeed they say of her that, though she was in that line of life, there was some faint and distant resemblance to a Christian about her. /

When Sancho had done drinking he dug his heels into his ass, and the gate of the inn being thrown open he passed out very well pleased at having paid nothing and carried his point, though it had been at the expense of his usual sureties, his shoulders. It is true that the innkeeper detained his alforjas in payment of what was owing to him, but Sancho took his departure in such a flurry that he never missed them. The innkeeper, as soon as he saw him off, wanted to bar the gate close, but the blanketers would not agree to it, for they were fellows who would not have cared two farthings for Don Quixote, even had he been really one of the knights-errant of the Round Table.
