Tembrar querie la tierra · dod eran movedores.
Cada uno dellos mientes · tiene al só.
Sanchez, Tom. I. p. 368.
A parallel passage from Chaucer’s “Knight’s Tale”—the combat between Palamon and Arcite (Tyrwhitt’s edit., v. 2601)—should not be overlooked.
“The heraudes left hir priking up and down,
Now ringen trompes loud and clarioun,
There is no more to say, but est and west,
In gon the speres sadly in the rest;
In goth the sharpe spore into the side:
Ther see men who can just and who can ride.”
