Excerpt from El Ingenioso Hidalgo Don Quijote de la Mancha, Vol. 1 Apenas hab�a concluido Cervantes sus primeros estudios, ansioso de correr tierras, quiso probar fortuna, y aprovechando la ocasi�n de hallarse en Madrid el cardenal Aquaviva con una misi�n del Padre Santo, logr� entrar en su servidumbre y march� con �l a Roma. No hubieron sin duda de alegrarle las funciones casi dom�sticas a que tendr�a que sujetarse en la casa de aquel prelado; y llevado de su ardor marcial, se alist� soldado en las banderas del general de las armas del Papa, Marco Antonio Colona, en ocasi�n que se estaba concertando contra el poder musulm�n la famosa liga de pr�ncipes cristianos que tuvo feliz t�rmino en la gran batalla de Lepanto. Asisti� Cervantes a esta jornada en las galeras del mismo Colona: hizo prodigios de valor, recibi� tres heri das, dos en el pecho y una en la mano izquierda que le dej� manco; y mereci� que Don Juan de Austria, al visitar los heridos, le aumentase tres escudos m�s a su paga ordinaria: �nica recompen sa que recibi� de su patria el hombre que tanto hab�a de ilustrarla.
