As in heaven's arch some radiant star.

Granada, queen and crown of loveliness,

Listen to my lament, and mourn for my distress."


CELIN'S RETURN

Now Celin would be merry, and appoints a festal day,

When he the pang of absence from his lady would allay:

The brave Abencerrages and Gulanes straight he calls,

His bosom friends, to join him as he decks his stately halls.

And secretly he bids them come, and in secret bids them go;
