Proud of his part in Roderick’s overthrow,

Their leader Abulcacem came, a man

Immitigable, long in war renown’d.

Here Magued comes, who on the conquer’d walls

Of Cordoba, by treacherous fear betray’d,

Planted the moony standard: Ibrahim here,

He, who by Genil and in Darro’s vales,

Had for the Moors the fairest portion won

Of all their spoils, fairest and best maintain’d,

And to the Alpuxarras given in trust
