Oglum P. Boomp

QUIXOTIC, adj. Absurdly chivalric, like Don Quixote. An insight into

the beauty and excellence of this incomparable adjective is unhappily

denied to him who has the misfortune to know that the gentleman's name

is pronounced Ke-ho-tay.

When ignorance from out of our lives can banish

Philology, 'tis folly to know Spanish.
