Than such miraculous promise of the dawn:

Witness Clavijo, where the dreadful cry

Of Santiago, then first heard, o’erpower’d

The Akbar, and that holier name blasphemed

By misbelieving lips! Simancas, thou

Be witness! And do ye your record bear,

Tolosan mountains, where the Almohade

Beheld his myriads scatter’d and destroy’d,

Like locusts swept before the stormy North!

Thou too, Salado, on that later day
