employs a unique, earthly wit in dealing with Don Quixote's rhetorical orations
on antiquated knighthood.

u Song:
Frank Sinatra-
The impossible dream
To reach the unreachable star
This is my quest, to follow that star
No matter how hopeless, no matter how far
To be willing to give when there's no more to give
This is my quest, to follow that star
No matter how hopeless, no matter how far
To be willing to give when there's no more to give
To be willing to die so that
honor and
justice may live
And I know if I'll only be
true to this glorious quest
That my heart will lie peaceful and calm when I'm laid to my rest
That my heart will lie peaceful and calm when I'm laid to my rest

O,my Luve's like a red,
red rose (likeà simile)
That’s newly sprung in June;
O my Luve's like the melodie
That’s sweetly play'd in tune.
As fair art thou, my bonnie lass,
So deep in luve am I;
And I will luve thee still, my dear,
Till a’ the seas gang dry.
Till a’ the seas gang dry, my dear,
And the rocks melt wi’ the sun;
I will luve thee still, my dear,
While the sands o’ life shall run.
And fare thee well, my only Luve
And fare thee well, a while!
And I will come again, my Luve,
Tho’ it were ten thousand mile.

Luve: love
Simile à a figure of speech involving a direct, explicit comparison of one thing to
another, usually using the words like or as to draw
the connection, as in "My love is like a red,
red rose." An analogy is an extended simile.
Metaphor à sometimes,
a general term for almost any figure of speech involving comparison; more
commonly, a particular figure of speech in which two unlike things are compared
implicitly—that is, without the use of a signal such as the word like or as—as
in "Love is a rose, but you better not pick it."
