A. ”With their spoils we will begin to get rich, for this is a fair war, and it is a great serviceto God to wipe such a wicked brood from the face of the earth.” B. “If I for my sins or by good luck were to meet with some giant hereabouts, as generally happens to knights errant, and if I were to overthrow him in the encounter …” C. “In fact, now that he had utterly wrecked his reason he fell into the strangest fancy that ever a madman had in the whole world.” D.

Sancho Panza rode on his donkey like a patriarch, with his saddlebags and hisleather bottle, and a great desire to see himself governor of the isle his master hadpromised him. B. “I must say, for my part, that I have to cry out at the slightest twinge, unless this business of not complaining extends to knights errants’ squires as well.” C. “Sancho Panza rushed to his assistance as fast as his donkey could trot, but when he came up he found that the knight could not stir.” D.

A. “Do not fly, cowards, vile creatures, for it is one knight alone who assails you.” B. “Matters of war are more subject than most to continual change…” C.
