Ferrando mused,
Then answered, smiling, ‘Damsel, have your will!
You are happier than you know! Rodrigo's Wife!
Of him you wot as little as of marriage!
Yon Cid will prove the greatest man in Spain.’
Then with a royal frankness added thus:
‘Moreover, maid, your lands are broad: another
Conjoining them with his might plot and scheme:
The Throne itself might suffer some despite:
Not so the Cid: that man was loyal born;
My kinsman. He shall wed you!’
