In the land I have left the skies are cold,

The earth is green, the rocks are bare,

Yet the devil may hold all your blue and your gold

Were I only once back there!

SPAIN: A DRINKING SONG

Many are praised, and some are fair,

But the fairest of all is She,

And he who misdoubts let him have a care,

For her liegemen sworn are we!

Then Ho! for the land that is green and grey,
