VIII.
“Then first was Blanch's virtue shown;The young Queen was her dearest friend,
15
A lowly orphan the high throne
Of Murcia should ascend;
When murmurs from his friends arose,
And threats from the proud Monarch's foes;
Then to the Queen the Princess came;
‘When my dear kinsman chose so well,
No dowerless bride was Isabel;
Half of my lands are thine, sweet dame!
Are we not sisters in our heart?
Would'st thou our childish union part?
And most unkindly now refuse
Wealth, only priz'd for thee, to use?’
