The Knight of the White Moon. "Second part of the Ingenious Gentleman Don Quixote of La Mancha"

He was previously called the Knight of the Grove or of the Mirrors, but he is in fact the bachelor Samson Carrasco.He is called the Knight of the Grove because he comes across Don Quixote in a wood, in the middle of the night, and also that of the Mirrors because over his armour he sports a glittering coat of small mirrors; however, another character is hidden beneath it. One morning when Don Quixote, fully armed, is out strolling on the beach in Barcelona, a knight-errant with a gleaming moon painted on his shield approaches him. “Illustrious knight, and never sufficiently extolled Don Quixote of La Mancha, I am the Knight of the White Moon… I come to do battle with thee and prove the might of thy arm, to the end that I make thee acknowledge and confess that my lady, let her be who she may, is incomparably fairer than thy Dulcinea del Toboso.” And this time the Knight of the White Moon, formerly the Knight of the Mirrors, manages to defeat Don Quixote and drives us to despair, as he puts an end to the knight-errant’s adventures. Samson Carrasco, why did you do that?
