For that unhappy daughter, and himself.

Desperate apostate, on the Moors he called,

And, like a cloud of locusts, whom the wind

Wafts from the plains of wasted Africa,

The Mussulman upon Iberia's shores

Descends. A countless multitude they came:

Syrian, Moors, Saracen, Greek renegade,

Persian, and Copt, and Latin, in one band

Of Islam's faith conjoined, strong in the youth

And heat of zeal, a dreadful brotherhood."
