Variation III

The Dialogues of the Knight and the Squire. _Moderato_, 4-4. Sancho

questions the worth of such a life. Don Quixote speaks of honor and

glory (first theme), but Sancho sees nothing in them. The dispute waxes

hot. Don Quixote speaks nobly of the ideal. Sancho prefers the easy,

comfortable realities of life. At last his master is angry and bids him

hold his tongue.
