And if the hearer of the tale should doubt that it be true,

Let him pass along the mountain road, till Ronda comes in view,

There must he halt and searching he may the story trace

In letters that are deeply cut on the rocky mountain's face.

"Oho, ye Catholic cavaliers

Who eye Granada day and night,

On whose left shoulder is the cross,

The crimson cross, your blazon bright.
