"History of the Famous Knight, Tirante el Blanco"

the battle the bold Tirante fought with the mastiff大型馴犬; 獒, and
the witticisms of the damsel Placerdemivida, and the loves and wiles of
the widow Reposada, and the empress in love with the squire Hipolito--in
truth, gossip, by right of its style it is the best book in the world.

after being cured of his chivalry disorder, my uncle, by reading these, took a fancy
to turn shepherd and range the woods and fields singing and piping; or,
what would be still worse, to turn poet, which they say is an incurable
and infectious malady.

'Galatea' of Miguel de Cervantes

"That Cervantes has been for many years a great friend of mine, and to my
knowledge he has had more experience in reverses挫折; 失敗; 倒霉than in verses. His book has some good invention in it, it presents us with something but brings
nothing to a conclusion: we must wait for the Second Part it promises:
perhaps with amendment it may succeed in winning the full measure of
grace that is now denied it; and in the mean time do you, senor gossip,
keep it shut up in your own quarters."
