The Missive Lyrics by Mandy Patinkin, Julia Migenes

Man of La Mancha

0

[SANCHO]
"Most lovely sovereign and highborn lady—"
[ALDONZA, spoken]
Ho
[SANCHO]
"The heart of this, thy vassal knight, faints for thy favor"
[ALDONZA, spoken]
Ha, ha
[SANCHO]
"Oh, fairest of the fair, purest of the pure
Incomparable Dulcinea—"
[ALDONZA, spoken]
That again
My name is Aldonza!
[SANCHO, spoken]
My master calls you Dulcinea
[ALDONZA, spoken]
Why?
[SANCHO, spoken]
I don't know
But I can tell you from experience
That knights have their own language for everything
And it's better not to ask questions because it only gets you into trouble
[ALDONZA, spoken]
Hm
[SANCHO]
"I beg thee grant that I may kiss
The nethermost hem of thy garment—"
[ALDONZA, spoken]
Kiss my which?
[SANCHO, spoken]
If you keep interrupting, the whole thing will be out of my head!
[ALDONZA, spoken]
Well, what does he want?
[SANCHO, spoken]
I'm getting to it!
[SANCHO]
"—And send to me a token of thy fair esteem
That I may carry as my standard into battle"
