So go ye forth on your funeral-way,

And God shall give you speed.

“Go with the dead in the front of war,

All arm’d with sword and helm,[241]

And march by the camp of King Bucar,

For the good Castilian realm.

“And let me slumber in the soil

Which gave my fathers birth;

I have closed my day of battle-toil,

And my course is done on earth.”
