" Then a voice said louder than the rest, "Dulcinea will sing to us.

To-day is Dulcinea's birthday.

But 'tis a fine inheritance for youth, and I propose to convey it to Dulcinea as a birthday gift.

It is for Dulcinea to choose a champion to follow Studd's path and bring back his powder-horn.

The Governor gave a last toast "Let us drink," he called, "to Dulcinea's champion and the fortunes of his journey."

Even a Don Quixote must have his Dulcinea, as well as horse and armor and squire.

Which is all one as to say, that we might taste, smell, and see by the ears: a sort of philosophy worthy only of Sancho Panza, who had the faculty to see Dulcinea by hearsay.

Her he selected for his peerless lady, and dubbed her with the sweet-sounding name of Dulcinea del Toboso.

The man took no notice, and Don Quixote, calling upon his Dulcinea to assist him, lifted his lance and brought it down on the carrier's pate, laying him flat.

A company of merchants approaching caused Don Quixote to halt in the middle of the road, calling upon them to stand until they acknowledged Dulcinea del Toboso to be the peerless beauty of the world.

Nothing that Sancho said could dissuade him, and he must needs clap spurs to his horse and ride a-tilt at these great windmills, recommending himself to his lady Dulcinea.

As for Don Quixote, he came off victor in this conflict, and only desisted from slaying his assailant on the plea of the lady in the coach, and on her promise that the conquered man should present himself before the peerless Dulcinea del Toboso.

The maid of the inn, entering this apartment, was mistaken by Don Quixote for the princess of the castle, and taking her in his arms, he poured out a rhapsody to the virtues of Dulcinea del Toboso.

Nevertheless, coming to an argument with the released convicts, whom he would have sent to his lady Dulcinea, he himself, and Sancho, too, were as mauled by the convicts as even those self-same officers.

It now came to Don Quixote that he must perform a penance in the mountains, and sending Sancho with a letter to Dulcinea, he divested himself of much of his armour and underwear, and performed the maddest gambols and self-tortures ever witnessed under a blue sky.

The knight immediately applied these words to himself and Dulcinea, and nothing that Sancho could say had power to cheer his spirits.

The physician and his friends conjectured that his sickness arose from regret for his defeat and disappointment of Dulcinea's disenchantment; they did all they could do to divert him, but in vain.

LOVE'S EXCHANGE Simple am I, I care no whit For pelf or place, It is enough for me to sit And watch Dulcinea's face; To mark the lights and shadows flit Across the silver moon of it.

The world has many things, 'tis true, To fill its time, Far more important things to do Than making love and rhyme; Yet, if it asked me to advise, I'd saybuy up Dulcinea's eyes!

These lucky fellows were of course writing to Dulcinea regularly, three meals of love a day.

for the spell of gorgeous poesy, he was not more made for a hero than was Dulcinea del Toboso for a heroine, being the young butcher of the village!!

" Ask you for whom my tears do flow so? 'Tis for Dulcinea del Toboso.

It has all the passion of the old chivalry in itit is only to say, 'My Dulcinea is prettier, sweeter, brighter-eyed than yours!'

I am just going to ride, and shall make it in my way to call and inquire after the health of my dulcinea.
