  SOME COMMENDATORY VERSES



              URGANDA THE UNKNOWN



     To the book of Don Quixote of la Mancha



       If to be welcomed by the good��

         O Book� �thou make thy steady aim��

       No empty chatterer will dare

         To question or dispute thy claim。

       But if perchance thou hast a mind

         To win of idiots approbation��

       Lost labour will be thy reward��

         Though they'll pretend appreciation。



       They say a goodly shade he finds

         Who shelters 'neath a goodly tree��

       And such a one thy kindly star

         In Bejar bath provided thee��

       A royal tree whose spreading boughs

         A show of princely fruit display��

       A tree that bears a noble Duke��

         The Alexander of his day。



       Of a Manchegan gentleman

         Thy purpose is to tell the story��

       Relating how he lost his wits

         O'er idle tales of love and glory��

       Of ;ladies�察�arms�察�and cavaliers�此�

         A new Orlando Furioso´

       Innamorato�察�rather´ who

         Won Dulcinea del Toboso。



       Put no vain emblems on thy shield��

         All figures´ that is bragging play。

       A modest dedication make��

         And give no scoffer room to say��

       ;What� �Alvaro de Luna here��

         Or is it Hannibal again��

       Or does King Francis at Madrid

         Once more of destiny complain�拭�



       Since Heaven it hath not pleased on thee

         Deep erudition to bestow��

       Or black Latino's gift of tongues��

         No Latin let thy pages show。

       Ape not philosophy or wit��

         Lest one who cannot comprehend��

       Make a wry face at thee and ask��

         ;Why offer flowers to me�察�my friend�拭�



       Be not a meddler�察�no affair

         Of thine the life thy neighbours lead��

       Be prudent�察�oft the random jest

         Recoils upon the jester's head。

       Thy constant labour let it be

         To earn thyself an honest name��

       For fooleries preserved in print

         Are perpetuity of shame。



       A further counsel bear in mind��

         If that thy roof be made of glass��

       It shows small wit to pick up stones

         To pelt the people as they pass。

       Win the attention of the wise��

         And give the thinker food for thought��

       Whoso indites frivolities��

         Will but by simpletons be sought。

                   AMADIS OF GAUL

             To Don Quixote of la Mancha



                        SONNET



     Thou that didst imitate that life of mine

       When I in lonely sadness on the great

       Rock Pena Pobre sat disconsolate��

     In self´imposed penance there to pine��

     Thou�察�whose sole beverage was the bitter brine

       Of thine own tears�察�and who withouten plate

       Of silver�察�copper�察�tin�察�in lowly state

     Off the bare earth and on earth's fruits didst dine��

     Live thou�察�of thine eternal glory sure。

       So long as on the round of the fourth sphere

       The bright Apollo shall his coursers steer��

     In thy renown thou shalt remain secure��

     Thy country's name in story shall endure��

       And thy sage author stand without a peer。

                 DON BELIANIS OF GREECE

              To Don Quixote of la Mancha



                         SONNET



     In slashing�察�hewing�察�cleaving�察�word and deed��

       I was the foremost knight of chivalry��

       Stout�察�bold�察�expert�察�as e'er the world did see��

     Thousands from the oppressor's wrong I freed��

     Great were my feats�察�eternal fame their meed��

       In love I proved my truth and loyalty��

       The hugest giant was a dwarf for me��

     Ever to knighthood's laws gave I good heed。

     My mastery the Fickle Goddess owned��

       And even Chance�察�submitting to control��

         Grasped by the forelock�察�yielded to my will。

     Yet´ though above yon horned moon enthroned

         My fortune seems to sit´ great Quixote�察�still

       Envy of thy achievements fills my soul。

                  THE LADY OF ORIANA

                To Dulcinea del Toboso



                        SONNET



     Oh�察�fairest Dulcinea�察�could it be��

       It were a pleasant fancy to suppose so´

       Could Miraflores change to El Toboso��

     And London's town to that which shelters thee��

     Oh�察�could mine but acquire that livery

       Of countless charms thy mind and body show so��

       Or him�察�now famous grown´ thou mad'st him grow so´

     Thy knight�察�in some dread combat could I see��

     Oh�察�could I be released from Amadis

       By exercise of such coy chastity

     As led thee gentle Quixote to dismiss��

         Then would my heavy sorrow turn to joy��

       None would I envy�察�all would envy me��

         And happiness be mine without alloy。

          GANDALIN�察�SQUIRE OF AMADIS OF GAUL��

         To Sancho Panza�察�squire of Don Quixote



                          SONNET



     All hail�察�illustrious man� �Fortune�察�when she

       Bound thee apprentice to the esquire trade��

       Her care and tenderness of thee displayed��

     Shaping thy course from misadventure free。

     No longer now doth proud knight´errantry

       Regard with scorn the sickle and the spade��

       Of towering arrogance less count is made

     Than of plain esquire´like simplicity。

     I envy thee thy Dapple�察�and thy name��

       And those alforjas thou wast wont to stuff

     With comforts that thy providence proclaim。

         Excellent Sancho� �hail to thee again��

         To thee alone the Ovid of our Spain

       Does homage with the rustic kiss and cuff。

       FROM EL DONOSO�察�THE MOTLEY POET��



        On Sancho Panza and Rocinante



                  ON SANCHO



       I am the esquire Sancho Pan´

       Who served Don Quixote of La Man´��

       But from his service I retreat´��

       Resolved to pass my life discreet´��

       For Villadiego�察�called the Si´��

       Maintained that only in reti´

       Was found the secret of well´be´��

       According to the ;Celesti´�此�

       A book divine�察�except for sin´

       By speech too plain�察�in my opin´

                ON ROCINANTE



       I am that Rocinante fa´��

       Great´grandson of great Babie´��

       Who�察�all for being lean and bon´��

       Had one Don Quixote for an own´��

       But if I matched him well in weak´��

       I never took short commons meek´��

       But kept myself in corn by steal´��

       A trick I learned from Lazaril´��

       When with a piece of straw so neat´

       The blind man of his wine he cheat´。

                   ORLANDO FURIOSO

              To Don Quixote of La Mancha



                        SONNET



     If thou art not a Peer�察�peer thou hast none��

       Among a thousand Peers thou art a peer��

       Nor is there room for one when thou art near��

     Unvanquished victor�察�great unconquered one��

     Orlando�察�by Angelica undone��

       Am I�察�o'er distant seas condemned to steer��

       And to Fame's altars as an offering bear

     Valour respected by Oblivion。

     I cannot be thy rival�察�for thy fame

       And prowess rise above all rivalry��

         Albeit both bereft of wits we go。

     But�察�though the Scythian or the Moor to tame

       Was not thy lot�察�still thou dost rival me��

         Love binds us in a fellowship of woe。

                 THE KNIGHT OF PHOEBUS



              To Don Quixote of La Mancha



     My sword was not to be compared with thine

       Phoebus of Spain�察�marvel of courtesy��

     Nor with thy famous arm this hand of mine

       That smote from east to west as lightnings fly。

       I scorned all empire�察�and that monarchy

     The rosy east held out did I resign

       For one glance of Claridiana's eye��

     The bright Aurora for whose love I pine。

     A miracle of constancy my love��

       And banished by her ruthless cruelty��

         This arm had might the rage of Hell to tame。

     But�察�Gothic Quixote�察�happier thou dost prove��

         For thou dost live in Dulcinea's name��

       And famous�察�honoured�察�wise�察�she lives in thee。

                    FROM SOLISDAN

              To Don Quixote of La Mancha



                        SONNET



     Your fantasies�察�Sir Quixote�察�it is true��

       That crazy brain of yours have quite upset��

       But aught of base or mean hath never yet

     Been charged by any in reproach to you。

     Your deeds are open proof in all men's view��

       For you went forth injustice to abate��

       And for your pains sore drubbings did you get

     From many a rascally and ruffian crew。

     If the fair Dulcinea�察�your heart's queen��

       Be unrelenting in her cruelty��

         If still your woe be powerless to move her��

       In such hard case your comfort let it be

     That Sancho was a sorry go´between��

         A booby he�察�hard´hearted she�察�and you no lover。

                     DIALOGUE

           Between Babieca and Rocinante



                      SONNET



  B。  ;How comes it�察�Rocinante�察�you're so lean�拭�

  R。  ;I'm underfed�察�with overwork I'm worn。;

  B。  ;But what becomes of all the hay and corn�拭�

  R。  ;My master gives me none�察�he's much too mean。;

  B。  ;Come�察�come�察�you show ill´breeding�察�sir�察�I ween��

      'T is like an ass your master thus to scorn。;

  R。  He is an ass�察�will die an ass�察�an ass was born��

      Why�察�he's in love�察�what's what's plainer to be seen�拭�

  B。  ;To be in love is folly�拭─� R。 ;No great sense。;

  B。  ;You're metaphysical。;´ R。 ;From want of food。;

  B。  ;Rail at the squire�察�then。;´ R。 ;Why�察�what's the good��

        I might indeed complain of him��I grant ye��

      But�察�squire or master�察�where's the difference��

        They're both as sorry hacks as Rocinante。;
