Ne pleure pas Sancho, ne pleure pas mon bon Ton maître n'est pas mort, il n'est pas loin de toi Il vit dans une île heureuse Où tout est pur et sans mensonges Dans l'île enfin trouvée où tu viendras un jour, Dans l'île désirée, O mon ami Sancho ! Les livres sont brûlés et font un tas de cendres Si tous les livres m'ont tué il suffit d'un Il suffit d'un pour que je vive Fantôme dans la vie, et réel dans la mort Tel est l'étrange sort du pauvre Don Quichotte.
