Work Overview
'He that is stabb'd to the Quick with the Poinard of Absence, and wounded to the Heart with Love's most piercing Darts, sends you that Health which he wants himself, sweetest Dulcinea del Toboso. If your Beauty reject me, if your Virtue refuse to raise my fainting Hopes, if your Disdain exclude me from Relief, I must at last sink under the Pressure of my Woes, tho' much inur'd to Sufferings: for my Pains are not only too violent, but too lasting. My trusty Squire Sancho will give you an exact Account of the Condition to which Love and You have reduced me, too beautiful Ingrate! If you relent at last, and pity my Distress, then I may say I live, and you preserve what's yours. But if you abandon me to Despair, I must patiently submit, and by ceasing to breathe, satisfy Your Cruelty and My Passion.
Yours till Death,
The Knight of the Woeful Figure'.
