Don Quixote, driven by his ideals of chivalry, undertakes numerous adventures, often inspired by his love for Dulcinea. Despite facing many obstacles and the cruel twists of fate, he remains steadfast in his quest.
In a place of La Mancha, whose name I do not want to remember, there has not been a long time that lived a lord of the lance in the shipyard, old armor, skinny rocín and greyhound runner. A pot of something more cow than ram, spatter the most nights, duels and breaks on Saturdays, giblets on Fridays, some palomino in addition on Sundays, consumed three quarters of his estate.

Of Don Quixote for imprisonment
MIGUEL DE CERVANTES SAAVEDRA
GOD bless me, gentle (or it may be plebeian) reader, how eagerly must thou
be looking forward to this preface, expecting to find there retaliation, scolding,
and abuse against the author of the second Don Quixote- I mean him who was,
they say, begotten at Tordesillas and born at Tarragona! Well then, the truth is, I
am not going to give thee that satisfaction; for, though injuries stir up anger in
humbler breasts, in mine the rule must admit of an exception. Thou wouldst have
me call him ass, fool, and malapert, but I have no such intention; let his offence
be his punishment, with his bread let him eat it, and there’s an end of it. What I
cannot help taking amiss is that he charges me with being old and one-handed, as
if it had been in my power to keep time from passing over me, or as if the loss of
my hand had been brought about in some tavern, and not on the grandest occasion
the past or present has seen, or the future can hope to see. If my wounds have
no beauty to the beholder’s eye, they are, at least, honourable in the estimation of
those who know where they were received; for the soldier shows to greater advantage
dead in battle than alive in flight; and so strongly is this my feeling, that if
now it were proposed to perform an impossibility for me, I would rather have had
my share in that mighty action, than be free from my wounds this minute without
having been present at it. Those the soldier shows on his face and breast are stars
The rest of the party concluded a velvet dress, hairy tights for the parties, with their slippers of the same, and the days of midweek were honored with their vellorí of the finest.
The worthy Sancho Panza here you see;
A great soul once was in that body small,
Nor was there squire upon this earthly ball
So plain and simple, or of guile so free.
Within an ace of being Count was he,
And would have been but for the spite and gall
Of this vile age, mean and illiberal,
That cannot even let a donkey be.
For mounted on an ass (excuse the word),
By Rocinante’s side this gentle squire
Was wont his wandering master to attend.
Delusive hopes that lure the common herd
With promises of ease, the heart’s desire,
In shadows, dreams, and smoke ye always end
you'll come up with original ideas
OF DON QUIXOTE EPITAPH
The knight lies here below,
Ill-errant and bruised sore,
Whom Rocinante bore
In his wanderings to and fro.
By the side of the knight is laid
Stolid man Sancho too,
Than whom a squire more true
Was not in the esquire trade.
The first thing he did was to clean some weapons that had been from his great-grandfathers, which, taken from rust and mold-filled, had long been laid and forgotten in a corner. He cleaned and trimmed them as best he could, but he saw that they had a great lack, and that they had no lace cape, but a simple morrion; But to this he supplied his industry, because of cardboard he made a half-blind mode, which, fitted with the morrion, made a whole gaunt appearance. It is true that in order to prove that he was strong and could be at risk of a blow, he drew his sword and struck it twice, and with the first and at one point he undid what he had done in a week; And the ease with which he had torn it to pieces, and, in order to secure himself of this danger, he made it again, putting iron rods from within, so that he was satisfied with his strength; And, without wanting to make new experience of it, the deputy and had by finest lace of lace.gde ssdg.g

These were all the verses that could be deciphered; the rest, the writing being
worm-eaten, were handed over to one of the Academicians to make out their
meaning conjecturally. We have been informed that at the cost of many sleepless
nights and much toil he has succeeded, and that he means to publish them in
hopes of Don Quixote’s third sally.
