vada, se levanta mas alto que todos, y mira
al sol con mas atrevimiento, sin que el la
deslumbre ni ciegne.”—Dedic. to Pineda's
Spanish Dictionary.

No combate, dao logo sepultura.
Nam se ouvem nas obsequias tristes cantos
Que a sancta Igreja ordena para os mortos,

As almas destes sete Cavalleiros,
