DON QUIXOTE Shaving basin! Know thou not what this really is? The Golden Helmet of Mambrino! When worn by one of noble heart, it renders him invulnerable to all wounds! (to the Barber whacking the barrel with his sword) Hand it over!
Thou Golden Helmet of Mambrino, With so illustrious a past, Too long hast thou been lost to glory, Th'art rediscovered now at last! Golden Helmet of Mambrino There can be no hat like thee! Thou and I now, ere I die now, Will make golden history!
BARBER (aside to Sancho) I can hear the cuckoo singing In the cuckooberry tree...
SANCHO (aside to Barber) If he says that that's a helmet, I suggest that you agree...
BARBER (aside to Sancho) But he'll find it is not gold And will not make him bold and brave...
SANCHO (aside to Barber) Well, at least he'll find it useful If he ever needs a shave!
DON QUIXOTE Thou Golden Helmet of Mambrino, Thy deeds the world will not forget, Now Don Quixote de La Mancha, Will bring thee greater glory yet!
DON QUIXOTE, BARBER, SANCHO, MULETEERS Golden Helmet of Mambrino There can be no hat like thee.
DON QUIXOTE Thou and I now, ere I die now, Will make golden history!
BARBER, SANCHO, MULETEERS Golden Helmet of Mambrino Will make golden history!
