Página 134 - Why rise ye not, Xarifa — nor lay your cushion down ? Why gaze ye not, Xarifa — with all the gazing town...
Página 137 - 'S3 The Moorish maid at the lattice stands, the Moor stands at his door, One maid is wringing of her hands, and one is weeping sore — Down to the dust men bow their heads, and ashes black they strew Upon their broidered garments of crimson, green, and blue — Before each gate the bier stands still, then bursts the loud bewailing, From door and lattice, high and low —
Página 131 - Once more advance upon his lance — once more, thou fearless one! Once more, once more; — in dust and gore to ruin must thou reel — In vain, in vain thou tearest the sand with furious heel — In vain, in vain, thou noble beast, I see, I see thee stagger, Now keen and cold thy neck must hold the stern alcayde's dagger ! They have slipped a noose around his feet, six horses are brought in, And away they drag Harpado with a loud and joyful din.
