Don Quixote turned to look and found that it was true, and rejoicing exceedingly, he concluded that they were two armies about to engage and encounter in the midst of that broad plain; for at all times and seasons his fancy was full of the battles, enchantments, adventures, crazy feats, loves, and defiances that are recorded in the books of chivalry, and everything he said, thought, or did had reference to such things.
Volvió a mirarlo don Quijote, y vio que así era la verdad; y, alegrándose sobremanera, pensó, sin duda alguna, que eran dos ejércitos que venían a embestirse y a encontrarse en mitad de aquella espaciosa llanura; porque tenía a todas horas y momentos llena la fantasía de aquellas batallas, encantamentos, sucesos, desatinos, amores, desafíos, que en los libros de caballerías se cuentan, y todo cuanto hablaba, pensaba o hacía era encaminado a cosas semejantes.
