To such a compact: and your claim falls short;

For what you have urged doth not lay bare the root.

Ceuta is African, but not for that

Mahommedan: this thirsty continent

Had drunk the truth for full four hundred years

Before your prophet’s birth; and now we fight

To win back from Mahommet what he took

By force from Christ.

K.What matters it to me

What happened in the days of ignorance?
