From the Roncesvalles’ Strait!”

“There is dust upon his joyous brow,

And o’er his graceful head;

And the war-horse will not wake him now,

Though it browse his greensward bed!

I have seen the stripling die,

And the strong man meet his fate

Where the mountain-winds go sounding by

In the Roncesvalles’ Strait!”

Elmina enters.
