Knowing thine eye looks proudly on thy child,

So shall my heart have strength.

Gon. Would, would to God,

That I might die for thee, my noble boy!

Alphonso, my fair son!

Alph. Could I have lived,

I might have been a warrior! Now, farewell!

But look upon me still!—I will not blench

When the keen sabre flashes. Mark me well!

Mine eyelids shall not quiver as it falls,
