[358] "I would fain know," quoth Sancho, "why the Spaniards call upon that
same St. James, the destroyer of the Moors: just when they are going to
give battle, they cry, St. Jago and close Spain. Pray is Spain open, that
it wants to be closed up? What do you make of that ceremony?"--"Thou art a
very simple fellow, Sancho," answered Don Quixote. "Thou must know, that
heaven gave to Spain this mighty champion of the Red Cross, for its patron
and protector, especially in the desperate engagements which the Spaniards
had with the Moors; and therefore they invoke him, in all their martial
encounters, as their protector; and many times he has been personally seen
cutting and slaying, overthrowing, trampling, and destroying the Moorish
squadrons; of which I could give thee many examples deduced from authentic
Spanish histories." Don Quixote, part ii. c. 58.
