Of the Cid Campeador; and how his sword

Tizona[277] clear’d its way through turban’d hosts,

And captured Afric’s kings, and how he won

Valencia from the Moor.[278] I will not shame

The blood we draw from him!

[A Moorish soldier enters.

Sol. Valencia’s lord

Sends messengers, my chief.

Abd. Conduct them hither.

[The soldier goes out and re-enters with Elmina, disguised, and an attendant.
