well, I feel very well that I still lack

something.

SANCHO.

Truly, yes, and that something would not hurt you. Ah! well, here... (Aside.) If however Thérèse... But, oh well, she will know nothing of it... For me, youth has always been my weakness. (Aloud.) Listen, there is only one word that serves, a good "here it is" is worth more than two "you shall have it"; I am the master, or so I have been told; stay with me.

ARIETTE.

You shall be my Dulcinea,

I will caress you,

Cherish you

All day long.

Will you be pleased with that?

JULIETTE, curtsying.

Oh yes;

It shall be,

Sir, exactly as you please.

SANCHO.

Then my wife shall die;

She is old, wicked,

The Devil will take her away;

She shall die:

Then, my dear Infanta,

Sancho will marry you.

JULIETTE.

Oh yes, &c.

SANCHO.

Don Quixote my master
