XIII.
“Heroic conqueror!”—Pedro cried—“From Constance cast the veil aside,
“In triumph to her kingdom lead
“The Virgin by thy prowess freed.
“The way is barr'd by rebel foes:
“Danger and death thy course oppose:
“Danger and death thy faith shall prove,
“And crown the omnipotence of love.
“Go forth, and on the field of fame
“Thy bride, Castillia's heiress, claim.”
