From wife had mourning widow made,

On Albenzaide's corse was bowed,

Shedding hot tears, with weeping loud.

Bright as the gold of Araby

Shone out her locks unbound;

And while, as if to staunch the blood,

Her hand lay on the wound,

She fixed her glances on Gazul,

Still by his foes attacked.

"'Twas cruel rage, not jealous love,
