VI.
“Don Pedro, well thou know'st that name”—“Nay,” quoth the Briton, “check thy flame;
And tell me, Pedro, of the dame.
Was it the girl, with frolic mien,
Who hover'd round the lovely Queen,

She seem'd some creature of the air,
A floating beam of glory?
Juan de Merida, I bear
A charmed heart; no lover's care
Demands thy lady's story:
But from Don Pedro I would claim
The lineage of the peerless dame.”
