Meanwhile Don Quixote worked upon a farm labourer, a neighbour of his, an honest man {if indeed that title can be given to him who is poor}, but with very little wit in his pate. In a word, he so talked him over, and with such persuasions and promises, that the poor clown made up his mind to sally forth with him and serve him as esquire. Don Quixote, among other things, told him he ought to be ready to go with him gladly, because any moment an adventure might occur that might win an island in the twinkling of an eye and leave him governor of it. On these and the like promises Sancho Panza {for so the labourer was called} left wife and children, and engaged himself as esquire to his neighbour.
