And the great Don Quixote’s flame,

And the pride of her village was she.

Tiquitoc, Academician of Argamasilla, on the Tomb of Dulcinea Del Toboso.

Epitaph.

Here Dulcinea lies. Plump was she and robust: Now she is ashes and dust: The end of all flesh that dies. A lady of high degree, With the port of a lofty dame, And the great Don Quixote’s flame, And the pride of her village was she.
