Comical History of Don Quixote, Part 2

Don Quixote encounters courtly life. This is the second of a three-play sequence which was the first dramatization of Cervantes's novel Don Quixote. Written in English by the Playwright and Lyricist Thomas D'Urfey, it was originally performed with music by Henry Purcell (only the lyrics, by D'Urfey, are presented in this recording). - Summary by ToddHW Cast list: Duke Ricardo, a Grandee of Spain:Greg Giordano [https://librivox.org/reader/8011] Cardenio, a witty young Gentleman, his Companion and Friend:Beeswaxcandle [https://librivox.org/reader/17576] Ambrosio, a young Student of Salumanca, and Kinsman to the Duke, an inveterate Enemy to Women ever since his dear Friend Chrysostom died for Love of Marcella:redrun [https://librivox.org/reader/17752] Don Quixote, a Frantick Gentleman of the Mancha, who ran mad with reading Books of Chivalry, and supposes himself a Knight-Errant:ToddHW [https://librivox.org/reader/6754] Manuel, Steward to the Duke, a pleasant witty Fellow, who with Pedro and the Page, manages all the Designs used in the following Don Quixote:Papa Phish [https://librivox.org/reader/19931] Pedro Rezio, a Doctor of Physick, and Assistant to Manuel in fooling Don Quixote:HelloCentral [https://librivox.org/reader/16240] Bernardo, Chaplain to the Duke - a positive, testy, morose Fellow:Larry Wilson [https://librivox.org/reader/8425] Diego, a rough ill-natur'd vicious Fellow, Master of the Duke's Game, and chief Shepherd, in love with Marcella:Alan Mapstone [https://librivox.org/reader/7170] Page to the Duke, another witty young Fellow, and Agent in the fooling of Don Quixote:Inkell [https://librivox.org/reader/17662] Sancho Panca, Squire to Don Quixote, a dull, heavy, Country Booby in appearance, but in discourse dry, subtle, and sharp; a great Speaker of Proverbs, which he blunders out upon all occasions, tho never so absurd, or far from the purpose:Adrian Stephens [https://librivox.org/reader/13577] Dutchess, a merry facetious Lady, that perptually diverts her self with the extravagant Follies of Don Quixote and Sancho:ShrimpPhish [https://librivox.org/reader/19584] Lucinda, Wife to Cardenio, her Companion:Jenn Broda [https://librivox.org/reader/13140] Dulcinea del Tobosa, Page to the Duke, commanded by him to personate Don Quixote's feigned Mistress:Inkell [https://librivox.org/reader/17662] Marcella, a young beautiful Shepherdess of Cordoua, extremely coy, and averse to men at first, but afterwards passionately in Love with Ambrosio:Availle [https://librivox.org/reader/4174] Donna Rodriguez, Woman to the Dutchess, antiquated, opinionated, and impertinent:Nina Lily [https://librivox.org/reader/10871] Teresa Pancha, Wife to Sancho - a poor clownish Country-woman:Sonia [https://librivox.org/reader/10179] Mary, her Daughter, a ramping ill-bred Dowdy:Lynette Caulkins [https://librivox.org/reader/13661] Flora, 1st Country-woman:N.
