The stately pile: but to that sepulchre,

When from captivity and darkness death

Enlarged him, was Theodofred consign’d;

For that unhappy woman, wasting then

Beneath a mortal malady, at heart

Was smitten, and the Tyrant at her prayer

This poor and tardy restitution made.

Soon the repentant sinner follow’d him;

And calling on Pelayo ere she died,

For his own wrongs, and for his father’s death,
