The Most Fair

THE MOST FAIR

Let the cavalier urge forward without pause,

And make right all injustice with his lance.

All noble obstinacy at last will chance

To fix forever Destiny's just laws.

The broken helmet of Mambrino wear;

Spur on your glorious and restive steed!

To Sancho Panza's proverbs pay no heed,

But trust in your right arm and in your star!

Fear no more Dame Fortune's cold disdain.

And if the Knight of the White Moon should dare

To measure prowess with you once again,

And by contrary Fate contrive your death,

Of Dulcinea, with your dying breath,

Vow that she is forever the most fair!
