[Footnote 17: 'La nécessité de mentir pour désavouer un ouvrage est une extrémité qui répugne également
Now in euery corner of the shippe were heard the lamentable cries of sicke and wounded men sounding wofully in our eares crying out and pitifully complaining for want of drinke, being ready to die, yea many dying for lacke thereof, so as by reason of this great extremite we lost many more men, then wee had done all the voyage before: hauing before this time bene so well and sufficiently prouided for, that we liued in maner as well and healthfully, and died as few as if we had bene in England, whereas now lightly euery day some were cast ouerboord.
Well, happily, we know the opinion of Molière: La parfaite raison fuit toute extrémité, Et veut que l'on soit sage avec sobriété. Did ever Frenchmen sympathize absolutely with Don Quixote?
