Who to his Country doth acknowledge none.

The summons which thou hast not heart to give,

I and Count Pedro over thy domains

Will send abroad; the vassals who were thine

Will fight beneath our banners, and our wants

Shall from thy lands, as from a patrimony

Which hath reverted to the common stock,

Be fed: such tribute, too, as to the Moors

Thou renderest, we will take: It is the price

Which in this land for weakness must be paid
