To do him honour, and to plant the cross
On Tangiers’. as it stands on Ceuta’s walls?—
The foe lay watching for us, like a lion
Descended from the mountains.

I led your battle; and when ye were taken,
I fled but to retrieve the day. I found
A second army; I sought out the foe,
And overcame him: and the furious Sala,
Faln in my hands, I feared not to set free
