Not greater share did Mars acquire of trophies and renown,

Than great Gazul took with him from Gelva's castled town;

And when he to Sanlucar came his lady welcomed him,

His cup of happiness at last was beaded to the brim.

Alone the joyful lovers stood within a garden glade;

Amid the flowers, those happy hours fled to the evening shade.

With fingers deft Celinda wove a wreath, in which were set

The rose's rudy petals and the scented mignonette.

She plaited him a baldric, with violets circled round,

For violets are for lovers, and with this his waist she bound.
